Interesting Experience Of ". N
Burdine on Shiloh Battlefield.

"Those were stirring times
said a friend who was referring
to the period covered by the war
between the north and South
1876.
In connection with the great
strife there were thousands up
on thousands of side happenings
incidents that were full OF in
terest and now and then they
are recalled by some circum-
stance, and the past comes into
vivid recollection and we live
again through experiences that
thrilled the souls of men,
An echo of the past is sounded
through the columns of the cur
rent number of the Confederate
Veteran, published at Nashville,
Tenn, and brings up an inter
esting experience which Mr.. w.
NJ. Burdine. of this city, had up
on the battlefield Of Shiloh.
The last issue of the Confeder-
ate Veteran, contained the fol-
lowing notice:
|JNO. B. BURDINE OF MISS
ISSIPPI REQUIRED FOR.
John P. Hickman, secretary
Board of Pension Examiners,
Nashville, Tenn, writes:
John. B. Burdine, Bird Miss

at the battle Of Shiloh. While
down he gave his gun to John
M. Brooks but made him give a
receipt for it. John M. Brooks
of Knoxville, Tenn, now com
mands the East Tennessee U. V.
&C., and would be pleased to hear
from John B. Burdine if living
The attention of Mr.. Mr.. W.
M. Burdine was called to the
above. and he wrote Mr.. Brooks
as follows:
Miami, Fla, June %, 1906.
John M. Brooks Esq.
Knoxville, Tenn.
Dear Sir. My attention has
been called to a card in the Con
federate Veteran" desiring to
hear from John B. Burdine who
was wounded at the battle of
Shiloh, etc. The first part of
the name must be an error as
l was the only Burdine in the
3rd Mississippi Battalion. / be-
longed to Co. "B" of that Bat
TALON and was wounded early in
the morning of the first days
fight, a bright, crisp, frosty
morning. / was assisted to the
rear by a member of the infrmary
corps who carried my gun.
When l was laid upon my
blanket before a fire / had my
gun placed beside me and until
this minute / could not recall
another trace of my gun, but
now | remember a man came
walking briskly along toward
the front and when he saw my
condition asked for the gun. l
raised the question of my re-
s~ponsibility fort it but he insisted
explaining why he had no gun;
perhaps that he belonged to the
ordnance or commissary corps in
the rear and hearing the noise
of battle determined to go to
the front and take part in the
fight. Now as the incident still
further unfolds, see the shadow
outline of his photograph in my
aged "a, rather strong
build 5 foot, 8 inches
high, dark hair and eyes, ruddy
to dark complexion with calm,
determined countenance which
me with the belief
that my gun would be in worthy
| am anxious to learn what
part you took in the fight and
became of my musket.
1t is pleasant to recall those
terrible days and many pleasant

Again Judge King discussed the
proposition for the MormOns TO go en-

out that the first result OF such a step
would be a wave OF indignation over

Why skeen Was Nominated.

This is condensed resume of the court
proceedings to date. 1t tells indirectly
the reason why Jedediah D. Skeen was
nominated for county attorney on the

The Republicans defined the issue and
practically brought about Mr. Skeen's
nomination by the Democrats The Re-

by Glasmann and his cohorts They
nominated n. J. Harris for county attor-

Public Want erafters Punished.

Mayor f. NJ. Conroy is Democrat but
there is an overwhelming majority in the
council against him, tying his hands and
leaving the Glasmann gang in control of
the city of Ogden as we'll as of Weber
county The revelations brought out by
Mr.. Skeen opened the eyes of the public
There arose feeling. which grew rapidly
that If he had at his command the powers
Of the county attorneys office he would
unearth more rottenness in both city and
county governments, punish the grafters
and give the local government a much
needed housekeeping. Mr.. Skeen is a
Republican but the sentiment crystallized
TO the effect that national issues did not
figure in this campaign. that the only is
sue was graft and anti-graft, and that
the Democratic party should take up the
fight against the plundering of the pub
lie. As a consequence, when the Demo-
cratic county convention met. IL adopted
a strong antigraft platform, declaring
this TO be the real issue of the campaign
and then il nominated Mr. Skeen for
county attorney by an overwhelming ma
jority. A. ID. Horn, defeated for the NOM
ination. took his doA-rags and went over
to the Republican party, and the Demo-
cratic nominee continued to grow in
strength

Hulaniski's trial came first The aeon
