THE GRASS FENCE.
Thrilling Incident Of the Battle Of
Bunker Hill.

Bunker Hill.
The battle of Bunker Hill gave the
occasion for many deeds Of yalor, ana
since that day we bold a list of names
Illuminated in our memory. One of
these names belongs to the Knight Of
Derryfeld- Do you remember who be
was. and can you recall the song of his
braveryi Read of It once more and
have impressed again on your heart
the implicit obedience and perfect
courage or the New Hampshire farm
ers and their captain, John Moor.
When the forty-iive men OF the little
town OF Derryheld. N. H., left their
homes to fight for the great cause each
knew that no men were ever led by q
Drawer man than their beloved Captain
Moor. His courage had inspired many

grass. Captain Moor's company lay as
still as death. An order had come from

that was driven short distance away.

rf.inFE 20, ~
With the GOODNESS and wonderful pre-
cision of dress parade the old world
came to meet the new, the grenadiers
and light infantry marching In single
file twelve feet apart, the artillery ad-
vancing more slowly and laundering
out an insolent defiance to the con-
ceited little rebels, while on each side
five battalions formed an obIique line
to the fence breastworks. The very
flower OF the English army, full bios,
somed in learned maneuvers, resplenr
dent In shining arms and waving ban
ners, advanced to meet little group of
men unframed in tactics of warfare,
only half armed, clad in homespun,
hiding behind a breastwork of grass.
The dead line was crossed. Bang!
Bang! Bang. The little rebels were
awake at last. Now. not the stake,
but line Of fallen bodies marked the
dead line. Thunder and lightning
belehed forth from that breastwork.
A fire, intense, steady, killing, and the
brave march of the Britishers was
checked. A slight recoil, and the Off
GERS, dashing up, again urged the line
forward. Not for one moment did the
grass fence cease its voice of fire and
shot. One by one the brave grenadiers
and their dashing, gallant officers fell
to the earth. The ranks broke and the
proud host fed before the meager
handful of New Hampshire men. All,
if we could only have had grass breast
works and Captain John Moor all
along the American line-C. f. Harri-
son in Atlanta Constitution.

DEPENDS ON
SITUATION
Shattuck Directors Decide To
Commence Work OF Con-
structing Smelter as Soon as
Financial Condition improves

After spending three or four days in
the district visiting the properties and
deciding TO commence the construction
OF a shelter at Douglas as soon as
the financial situation improves, the
party or SnatrucK-ArizUna anu Deun-
Arizona directors left for their homes
in the north yesterday morning.
1t was almost fOregone conclusion
before the meeting WIS held that the
smelter to handle the ores of the two
properties would be erected, the only
question remaining-when. There
were a number who were of the opin-
ion that in spite of the present de-
preston the directorate, assured of
the success OF the Shattuck as a mine.
and having confidence in the DEM,
would go ahead with construction. On.
the other hand the opinion was rather
general that nothing would be done
until the financial situation improves,
and the Shattuck had a chance to ship
its ore, thus having a steady income
at the same time as the enormous out
lay was being made. Last evening II
was announced that the directors had
come TO the conclusion TO pursue the
latter course.
In regard TO the working of the
properties there viii be no increase
in the forces operating at the pres
ent time. and probably not until the
metal market returns to a normal
standard. No ore will be shipped from
the Shattuck, only development work
and prospecting engaging the atten-
ton, while at the Dem diamond drill
operations on the 100 level will be
practically the only activity
It was rumored on the streets yes
terday that the Patt5oa crowd was no
longer in control, and that Superin-
tendent 3. " Pattison would resign.
Mr.. Pattison was called up on the tele-
phone last evening and asked about
the matter. In reply ne stated that
both reports were ABSOLUTELY new TO
him, and that if there were any truth
in them he would probably be one OF
the first to know.
Martin Pattison, Thomas Bardon
end A. Guthrie all left the city for the
east on the morning train. hoping to
reach their homes in Minnesota and
in time to spend the Christ
mas holidays with their families. They
all expressed the-greatesU satisfaction
with the condition of the companir ).
