Recalls Civil War Incident.

Those who have been comrades of
the late George B. Stafford through
membership in Russell Post, and es-
pecially those who were associated
with him in actual service, recall
many incidents of his army life and
among them one that occurred in the
Peninsular campaign, during the re-
treat of the 18th Maine Regiment,
after the battle of White Oak Swamp.
Mr.. Stafford and his brother in law i,
William Libby now of Kankakee, ILL.,,
were members OF the regimental band
and the records of the retreat, as
given in "Maine in the War; speak
of them as rendering invaluable SER
vice in caring for the sick and wound
ed and in getting them back TO the
vicinity of Harrison's Landing in
good dition after a weari-
some march of four days, much of the
time during a heavy downpour of
rain. The historical account speaks
in high praise of the devotion of
these two comrades recounting the
fact as of special note as the must
clans, while exposed throughout the
war to the same dangers and incon-
veniences as the rest Of the army,
were not required by military rules to
further increase their own hardships
by the care of others.

was not given. At the time of the
hearing it was arranged to have re-
port submitted to the commissioners,
to be made up by F. A. Nolan of this
place, on the estimated horsepower
of the water privilege, owned by the
Stewards in connection with their
mill property. By agreement this was
to be shown to Forrest Goodwin, the
attorney for Steward Brothers before
it was handed in. AS Mr.. Goodwin
was out of town when the report was
ready, he was Unable to give it exam
ination in time for it to reach the
