romantic and somewhat myster-
Gus story of former Rock Islander,
Clyde Horne, comes from Peoria AMI
Canton, regarding the accomplish
ments of Mr. Horne along another line
than baseball, in which he made d
success at Peoria after removing
from the city five years ago
and more recently as manager II
the Canton Grays. The story has to
do with the affairs of Mr.. Horne and
Miss Bertha Stanton of Canton. The
whether the young people have been
married, or are now planning all
elOpement. The difficulty arose be
cause of objections on the part of the
young wOman's mother, Mrs. Stanton.
The young people were together Sun
day evening. and Monday morning
parental objections crystalliZed, AMI
the story goes that there was some
thing of a scene. Miss Stanton went
to telephone office where she was
employed, resigned her position, drew
her pay, and returning home began
packing her belongings. Her moths :
objected. and was then told that the
couple had been married in Peoria
last November.
Tells of Ceremony Here.
Monday Mr.. Horne told a sister of
Miss Stanton that he and Miss Stanton
were married in Rock Island last No
vember. No entry of their having Sc
cured marriage license here appears
on the records at the county clerk s
office. The suppOsition is that the
story of their marriage is told merely
to throw relatives off the track, and
that they intend to be married later
Mr.. Horne stated that Miss Stanton
had departed for Rock Island to secure
certificate, and would return to Can.

On one occasion, after marching q
night, the One Hundred and Fifty.fifth
halted for few minutes in the gray
dawn for . brief rest and to make
coffee. The boys of one Of the com.
panies had kindled IRE with rails
from neighboring fence az fuel.
Some with coffeepots and others with
fryingpans had surrounded the fire,
each seeking convenient spot on
which to place his cooking utensil,
when suddenly. without a moments
warning. they were startled by the
distant boom Of cannon, and the
next instant shell struck their IRE,
scattering rails and men in all direc.
tons, but fortunately injuring no one.
The only effect Of the episode was to
elicit q hearty cheer from the boys
and q general shaking of hands by
way Of congratulation on their marvel.
GUS escape.
On another occasion a few days
later similar incident occurred In
another company, but with most de-
plorably results. The regiment had
halted after a nights march to rest
and make coffee. The boys had start.
ed to make a fire, and their cofYeepots
were already steaming. when the sud.
den boom Of cannon snote their
ears and a shell landed and exploded
right in the midst Of their fire, filling
the air with embers. cooking utensils
and men. The result was disastrous,
one poor fellow having his foot torn
of and several others being badly
shocked.
Had 1t not been for the occasional
accession of squads of recruits the
ranks Of the regiment would have
been sadly depleted by the constant
casualties OF battle and the havoc
caused by disease and exposure.
Among the recruits assigned to the
One Hundred and F1fty-fifth regiment
during the summer Of 1864 was lusty
young German. who seemed thorough.
ly to appreciate the dangers surround.
ing him at the front. After a few
days Of drilling in the manual Of
arms he was assigned to a squad on
picket duty and sent out into the
presence Of the enemy. There he en-.
urely lost his mental equilibrium. On
being sent out alone to a vidette post
200 or 300 yards in front Of the picket
line to watch for the approach OF the
enemy. the climax was reached. To
ease the nervous strain under which
he was laboring he put the muxxle
