which made splendid breastworks. F and
NJ we're halted at the crop ditch, about 700
yards distant. The fields we're covered with
d dense growth Of hog weeds, about breast
high. We did not have long to wait, before
we heard in the enemy's line, forward Skin
mishers. We saw their skirmish line as it en-
tered the field, and it did not take the second
look to discover that they were our colored
friends, as private John Smith said, ''Na-
gurs, bejasus." They advanced about 200
yards and halted, as they could hear our men
talking in the road. The Marion rife pieces
were with and M, on the right Of the road
and one Of them drove them back. There was
a large live oak in the field about 100 yards
from their works, and good many made for
that. Some officer was wounded under the
tree and they tried all day to get him OUT
but the shells prevented his being rescued
until after dark On the morning of the
9TH, Major Wayne and his little army of
$50 rifles and four pieces of artillery we're
ready to receive call from their friends, the
enemy. The Washington artillery and por-
ton Of the infantry were on the left Of the
road, while the Marion, with the rest Of the
infantry, were on the right, while at the ex-
treme right Of our line was a company Of dis
mounted cavalry numbering twenty men.
About p. ~. three regiments entered the field
at the same time, but at different places. The
one on the left advanced on the Washington
artillery and the one on the right Of the road
on the Marion artillery, while the third regi-
ment advanced on the cavalry on the right of
the line and F and M were ordered to their
support.
We double-quicked by the right flank, de-
ployed as skirmishers. Being the orderly of
Company M placed me in the lead and I could
see what was going on at the right. / saw
the enemy advancing which proved to be the
Goth New York colored troops, [ saw them
charge over our works and something else that
made my blood run cold, saw them bayonet-
ing the wounded. The cavalry held their
position until fourteen out Of the twenty had
been killed and wounded. When we we're
within 200 yards Of them Captain Hill or
dered me to right oblique, SO as to form our
line in front Of them. We had not left the
woods more than 30 yards, when ball barely
missed my head Looking beyond the works
saw burly mulatto loading his gun. Bring
ing my rifle to my shoulder I took aim at his
breast and fred. He jumped about three feet
high and fell backwards. After going about
300 yards the line was halted and commenced
firing. There we're only 40 men in f and M;
think of that 40 ragged Confederates under
the fire Of 1000 rifles, in the hands of 1000
negroes, who did not observe the rules Of civ

County Commissioner Kentta was
in Toledo several days last week
working on the Toledo-Siletz wagon
road proposition. Mr.. Kentta is
very anxious that this matter be
taken up and the work commenced.
His idea is to build the road leading
north out of town through Run
Bottom, cutting through the hill
Just west of John Crooks place,
and connecting with the Depoe
slough road at the Enos place. The
Newport road would connect with
the Toledo-Siletz road at the top of
the Dundon hill, where the new
road would cross the Corvallis New
port road, Mr.. Kentta figures that
with cut of % or 80 feet through
this hill, where it is very narrow,
would make a very easy grade be-
tween town and the Enos place.
Besides being an easy grade it
would shorten the Newport road
and make it a better grade. He
believes this road can be built and
planked cheaper than the planking
can be laid on the old Newport
road, and it would be cheaper for
the county to maintain the one road
than the two seperate roads, as at
present. He wants the people OF
Toledo to have the county surveyor
survey this hill and ascertain the
feasibility of establishing the road
on these lines.

GERM DAN GER ELIMINATED
South Chicago Dumping Grounds ALI
Guarded to Prevent Children
From Eeating Fruits.

Owing to the numerous complaints
that have been made regarding the
unsanitary condition of the local gar
baged jumping grounds, located at Nine
ty-ffth street and Yates avenue, Ward
Superintendent Galligan yesterday COW
cred the grounds with five hundred
pounds of disinfectant which has in a
great measure relieved the stencil that
has prevailed over the neighborhood.
In addition to putting on five hundred
pounds of disinfectant Superintendent
Galligan has stationed one of his men
at the dumping grounds to see that
no children are allowed to get near
thep lace.
From now on no down town commits
sion or other company will be allowed
to use the local tract as dumping
ground and it's use will be confined
strictly to the eighth ward. Each time
any fruit or similar garbage is dumped
on the grounds the disinfectant will
be put on to kill the odor that other
wise would jeopardize the health of
the community.
During superintendent Galligan' s
regime in the eighth ward he has done
everything in his power to make South
Chicago a city that will stand second
to none.
Mr. Galligan made a short business
trip to Hegewisch yesterday, where he
conferred with several of the most pro
gressive citizens of the suburb regard
| ing the work that is being done on
| the streets there.
| During the week three carloads of
crushed stone have been used in fill
ing in the streets and at least two more
will be used during the next three
| weeks.
VIII Make Numerous Repairs.
| Speaking Of the Hegewisch streets
| superintendent Galligan said: TAX
ing everything as a whole, the suburbs
streets are in fairly good condition
! and by the time I get through max
! ing numerous repairs on them they will
| be in fine condition to stand the win
ter weather But for the fact that
Hegewisch will get her new sewer syS-
tenn this year, several thousand dol
| lars ould be expended in identifying
her thoroughfares.
The sewer work will be starteo
this fall and this means that it woulc
be impossible to improve the streets
while they are torn up"
