The late ex-senator +. S. Miner, of
Necedah, was visiting his wifes rela-
tives at Hazel Green, Wis, some time
in 1860. While in a village store there
one day a team was driven up and
hitched. The driver entered the little
store and told the merchant he would
take those hides" The merchant invited
him TO be seated while the hides were
weighed and loaded Senator Miner, in
talking about It to friend, said ::
While the hides were being weighed
and loaded in the wagon the driver
with handful of corn he had taken
from the bin, seated hllnself by dry
goods box or n barrel and ranged the
kernels as regiments and brigadss In
line of battle, ON opposite sides, In all
sorts of positions He would move his
lines forward or by the flank. advance
and retreat, managing both opposing
armies, and worked out his problem OF
attack and defense. He sometimes
would be absorbed for hours in one
of these studies, and never would quit
until the mimic battle with his grains
of corn was decided one way or the
other. In this way he fought over
battles OF the past and imaginary bat
ties of the future"

Fetten then turned his weapon upon him
