Good investment.

The sale yesterday of the Fielder
property on Taylor and Barlow sire Ell
aud Brsnnou avenue was an event il
real estate circles here, and indicated
the value of Americas realty.
Ten dwelling houses, belonging tc
the estate of Mrs. Lucy Fielder were
thus sold by the administrators.
And the net sum of the sales was
little more than $40, 600.
The sale included the Fielder home
and nine cottages in the rear on Bar.

a number of years ago for renting pur,
poses largely, and always occupied
For small homes they were consider.
ed quite desirable.
Sheriff Bell cried the property, and
al assemblage of perhaps q hundred
citizens, including many ladies. was
there to do the bidding.
And this was spirited from the start
to the finish.
The first sale was the small cottage,
No. 800, next the railway bridge. This
was bid in ty Judge r. L. Maynard for
the sum of 81 100.
The second sale, and one of the best,
was that OF the five room dwelling, No.
405 Barlow street. Bidding was spirit
ed from the jump, the property finally
going to Mr.. T. j. Morgan for 81, $40.
The two story house next door, No.
401. was bid by Mr.G. M. Eidridge for
the round prics of 81, 900.
The Eve room house opposite, at the
corner of Barlow and Brannon, was
bought by Mrs, M. J Taylor for 81, :
$50 Mrs Taylor also bought another
house of same size, No. 315 Barlow,
for 81, 305.
The small three room cottage, No.
2s7 Brsnnop, was sold to Me- Fl. r
johnson for $685..
DR.. F. A. Thomas bought three cot.
tsges on Barlow, Nos. Gil, 313 and BIT,
paying The round sum Of So 68J for the
properties.
A small vacant lot on Bfannon was
sold to Mr.. Arthur Rylander for the
sum Ct $3.50.
Interest centered in the saI9 of the
old Fielder residence, and the first bid
of So. 600 was raised to "a, 900, to 81, 900,
to S., 500 and thence to $6, 900, atwhich
figure it went to Mr.. A. RyIander.
Mr.. Rylander was not the real pur-
chaser, however, as he probably bid in
he properly for another.
As stated, the sale of this valuable
really neited the estate $19, 02O, and
while the figures paid were none too
high it is considered that the property
brought fair price
Several dwellings were bought for
homes by those bidding, the others as
a good investment.

A oUARD-HoUsE TRAGEDY.
One of the Sad Incidents Growing Out
of the Presence of Black Sheep
in the Army.

The army when in camp was like a
family of restless boys, who, though
often pickering and scufling among
themselves about trifling matters.
needed very little of anything serious
to rouse them to sense of brother
hood. There were exceptions to the
rule, however, says William Stone in
writing of his experiences in the
American Tribune, and most of us can
remember some dismal tragedy of
camp and post life due to the presence
of black sheep.
In the spring of 1864, while acting
as nurse in the post hospital at Fort
Leavenworth, Kansas, was surprised
and shocked one day to see brought
into my ward young recruit of my
regiment, the Eleventh Ohio cavalry,
by the name of Huson, who had been
shot in the bowels, and who, the doc
tor assured us from the first, had but
a little while to live, for the wound
was necessarily fatal. l had pre-
viously been greatly attached to the
young man, who was fine fellow and
belonged to an excellent family in
Richland county, Ohio. He had a
young wife and three children at, home
and | certainly did all in my power to
save the life so precious to them,
knowing how frequently doctors were
mistaken as to the chances of a pa
tents recovery, but all in vain, for
four days afterward, on the 18th of
April, he died, his greatest anxiety
being that his people at home should
not be made acquainted with the cir
cumstances that led to his death.
He had been accused one day of
stealing pocketbook while in the
barracks, and when he Indignantly de-
MED the charge, search was instituted
and the missing article was found by
the officers hidden in his bunk 1t
was some time afterward found that
1t had been designedly placed there
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1906-05-04

by a comrade whose implacable en-
nifty he had incurred in some way un-
known even to himself. He was, how
ever, unable to explain the presence
of the pocketbook in his bunk, and
was sent to the guard-house for pun
fshment for the theft. This was a
terrible blow to the spirited and SEN
sitive young man, and after a few
days Imprisonment he determined on
escape at all haZaru, and fight from
q service in which the hope of an hon
orable career seemed denied him at
the very start.
The guard-house in which the pris-
oners were held was an old tumble
down affair, SO that a squad of four
men-one on each side of the build
ing-was kept on duty day and night.
Huson and his fellow prisoners made
up ten dollars among them for the
purpose of bribing one of these guards
to let them escape some dark night.
On one side of the building what had
once been door was now plastered
up on the inside, so that, the guard.
removed by bribe or otherwise, 1t
would require the exertion of but lit
tie strength to effect an escape.
Everything had been arranged; the
guard had been bribed and the dark
night had come. During the day the
prisoners had carefully loosened one
of the planks covering the old door,
so they could easily remove it and
escape one at time without making
any noise. The nign. was very dark
and it had been arranged that the
guard was to stop at the upper end
of his beat few moments while they
got away. Huson was leader of the
escape, as the keenness of his suf-
ferings from having been so grossly
wronged made him the most desperate
and determined. A. the hour appoint
ed the lights were out and the board
slowly and carefully removed, and
Husou and two others squeezed out,
when the guard called Halt" They
supposed the guard was only acting
his part. and started on, when the SOL
dier promptly fired ball through HUI
sons bowels. The other prisoners
astonished at the turn of affairs, ran
back into the guard-house, while the
wounded man was brought at once to
my ward. but few rods away. The
