FIGHTING BOB" EVANS.
Report chat lie Must soon Raise the
White Flag in Life's Battle.

The report that Admiral Bob Evans
IS about to retire from the navy be-
cause OF i'll health has sent thrOb or
sympathy and regret through the coun-
try. Scores of kilograms and even ca
Diagrams have been received at the
navy department asking as to the truth
of the report, and expressing high re-

Bob" to the American people.
He is a born fighter At he was
handling d gun. At Is he was on his
way across the western plains to ac-
quire residence at salt Lake City.
He had been promised an appointment
TO Annapolis If he became a resident
OF the Utah city.
On the way the emigrant train was
attacked by Indians. Bob was
warned to stay under cover when the
fight began. When the Indians had
been beaten back an arrow pinning
Bob'S right leg to the mule he rode
showed how he had obeyed the order
He had been in the thlckest of the me-
lee. The arrow had TO be cut between
his leg anG the pony's side before he

Evans, then at Annapolis, had a heart
racklng problem to decide. His mother
was an ardent secessonist. His broth
er did not hesitate but donned the
gray But Bob decided to cast his lot
with the ones who had educated him,
although his mother sent his resigua-
ton TO the Federal government.
His fighting spirit was wildly illus
trated in the assault on FIT. Fisher,
January, 1865. Twice he was wound
ed and fought on. 4 third bullet
pierced his knee and he fell helpless.
A sharpshooter kept peggng away at
him. A bullet tore off OF his toes.
The ire of the wounded man was
aroused, and grabbing his own rifle, he
shot his enemy dead.
It was we'll for Evans after that
battle that he had strenuous spirit.
When he was taken to the hospital 1t
was decided that both his legs must
be amputated. Bob heard the decision
and that night armed himself with
revolver, which he hid under his pill
low.
Next day when physicians broke
their views to him the wounded youth
