SAVED BY HIS PIPE.
Capt. Boyle, Veteran of Civil War, Re-
lates Odd Story of Martial Days.

1t is a strange story of a battle in
the civil war, how pipe that man
carried in his pocket saved his life,
the loss of the pipe and its recovery
over two score years after it had
been lost. The story has come to
light, says the Indianapolis News, as
a result of the recent reunion of sol
-diers of all wars at Frankfort.
The central figure in the story is
Capt. ]. H Boyle, 4O4 Lord street, In
.dianapolis, who was in command of
company C, Tenth Indiana volunteer
infantry, during the civil war Capt
Boyle owned the pipe and had it in
his pocket 43 years ago when con-
federate bullet struck it. Six months
later the pipe was stolen, but was re-
covered by a friend. 1t was not
turned over to Capt Boyle, however,
until three days ago.
The pipe is of meerschaum and was
purchased in Chattanooga, Tenn, by
Capt. Boyle in 1868 for the sum of
$25. The captain carried it with him
throughout his soldering and on July
8, 1864, during the Atlanta campaign
when his company was in a heavy Skin
mish at Vining Station on the Chatta-
hooche river the pipe occupied a place
in a pocket directly over his heart.
When the company was called into
action Capt. Boyle laid the pipe down
on his blanket, but afterward decided
that it were best to take it with him,
for it might be stolen, or he might be
prevented from returning to the spot
where he left it. He returned the
pipe to the left inside pocket of his
army blouse, and went into the
fight
THE confederates were driven off,
and the fight was nearly over" said
Capt. Boyle, when one Johnny Reb,
who fingered moment when the 9TH
ers were retreating, raised his musket
and fired a parting shot. 1 was en-
gagged in Strengthening out my line of
men 1 was a little higher up than
the others, and heard the bullet COM
ing. 1 instinctively moved to the
right just as the bullet struck the
bowl of the pipe in my pocket James
A. Price was standing beside me at
the moment and heard the bullet
strike the pipe.
THE bullet knocked a big piece out
of the bowl, and later 1 sent the pipe
to New York, where l had a new bowl
put on.
In 1865 1 was attending a meeting
at Clarks Hill, Ind, and while 1 was
there the pipe was taken from my
pocket by unknown parties. L after
ward learned who had the pipe, and
William Pay, at one time a well-known
citizen of Frankfort, volunteered to
recover it for me. He did so and re-
turned it to me one day in 1867
Later 1 was in Frankfort and was
smoking the pipe while walking about
the streets when Mr.. Pay came up to

about it he said he wanted to keep
