ZONE Brave coNFEDER.,rE

there certainly was some fighting on
that hili that night. The timber was
shot into splinters, and In some in
stances shot off by the musketry fire.
The rocks and some of the trees held
many 4confederate- dead. Some of their
dad lay up against our temporary
works One brave Confederate reached
over the works and grasped the color
staff of the 9Th WIS ana attempted 10
wrest it from the hands of the color
bearer. The next instant one of that
regiment blew the top off his head. The
writer saw As dead Confederates buried
in one ditch not so feet in front of our
lines The hillside in front Of Green's
Brigade aad part of Wadsworth's Di-
vision was literally strewn with dead
Confederates. The fighting on that part
OF the lines began soon after the battle
had ceased on the left, and continued
until about 10 o'clock that night. Just
after we had repuised Johnson's Con-
federate Division the old Third Corps,

FIRST SHOT AT GETTYSBURG.
1t Ees Fired by Lfeut. II. NJ. Jones', Sth
III, Cay.

Editor National Tribune: In your is
sue of July 16, in the Charlottesville
and Gettysburg campaign, by John Nc
Eiroy, he gives an account Of the OPEN
ing of the battle and the first shot fred
on that occasion. Now, there are quite
"a few survivors of that fierce conflict
still in the flesh and in their right mind,
and as I think all who took part on that
memorable occasion should have full
credit for everything performed, fully
desire that only facts pass current rela-
tive to the opening OF the engagement.
The advance of Gen. John Buford's cav
airy arrived in Gettysburg soon after 1
p. M, June 30, 1853, led by Maj John
l.. Beveridge, of the Sth Ill. Cav, hay-
ing marched 35 miles that morning
over the dusty road in fearful heat
After ridding ourselves of the surplus
dust we received orders to dismount
and partake of the proffered hospitality
of the gracious citizens that lined the
street and urged us to indulge IN
lunches of every conceivable description,
with milk. and tea, coffee and water.
which we did with thankful hearts. We
mounted up, and, passing out the Cham
bersburg pike, some one and oae-haIf
miles beyond the Seminary, we went
into camp. Our entire company was
detailed for picket duty, and proceeded
out the pike. After passing Willough-
by Run. nearly one-fourth of mile,
the reserve was deboucfed in n small
open grove at the right of the pike,
and on rise of ground some one-haIf
| mile farther on was posted the outer
videt line, designated by the boys as a
! hogs back. as it sloped front to CASH
| town Creek and rear to Willougilby
Run. On this post on Chambersburg
pike Thomas b. Kelley and James o.
Hale, of Co. E.. Sth Ill Cav. were post
ed at O'Clock a. M, July 1, 1853 In
about 10 minutes after being on post
clouds of dust commenced to rise some
| two and one-half miles In our imme-
date front and to the right of the pike,
| until a radius of over q mile ia diaYne-
| ter was plainly outlined on the horizon
After some half hour a line of dust de-
noting the approaching column showed
up on the sky, and soon the head of
| column came in full view, crossing
| Cashtown Creek. Looking up and down
| the line 1 could not see Serg't Levi S.
Shafer. I remarked to Hale. "I am 60

In my absence Serg't Shafer had come

horse. reaching the rein to Hale, and
stood by the Sergeant's saddle, with
Shafer's carbine in his hand. AS I rode
up heard him ask. What condition is

Editor National Tribune: In your is

from Comrade II. G. Lang. of Langley,

lar colony, he does not state the
whole truth, and nothing but the
| truth"
| In the New Testament we read:
"And all that believed were together,
and had all things common:dnd sold
their possessions and goods. and parted
them to all according as any man had
tneed" Acts 2:45. Here was Christian
Socialist Society. founded by the apos-
| tolic authority of st. Peter himself. But
please observe that they were all Chris

HIS
OWN ARREST

The natives of Wilson Creek are
wrought up today over the manner
in which they believe they have
been cleverly buncoed out of more
than $500 on a rattle of a diamond
ring by John Felin. Felin, it is
claimed. spent several days in Will
son Creek with his diamond, and
when all the tickets were sold he
quietly stole away. But the con-
stable wasn't sleeping either, for
he telegraphed to Chief Rice.
Officer DeWolf, of the Great
Northern nabbed Felin on his ar
rival There was nothing official
about the communication from Will
son Creek, as it did not state that
warrant was out for Felin. He
was allowed his freedom Over
come with joy at this, he deposited
$500 at headquarters for safe keep
ing.
This. it turned out this morning,
proved his undoing During the
night the constable at Wilson
Greek got out the warrant and mott
fed local headquarters. When : e.

asked for his $500 he was led away

INTIMATE CORRESPONDENCE.
FROM WASHINGTON - By RATHl

WASHINGTON, d. c., April l.
Dear Dad: Families are dividing
and friendships are being disrupt
ed. Resolved, that Pres. Roosevelt
is a fiend and monster. Counter
resolved, that Harper is fiend ant
monster.
What's it all about? Why. q
man in a silk hat is to be sent tc
jail! (Or maybe he isn't. The
court has not yet determined
whether it is to be fine or impris
onment). Amt it terrible?
But why send our prominent citi.
zen to Jail? Didn't he have a law.
yer? Sure. And 16-iay trial, OF
which not one word was printed
in the Washington papers. Because
he is president of the chamber OF
commerce and worth a million!
But the jury found him guiltq. First
offender against the pure food and
drugs law Made headache rem
edy tina tbs patronized by dope
fiends. Mixed it every day with
his own hands, secretly in back
room. That was the testimony.
And law says guilty ones shall pay
fine or go to Jail for year, the dis
erection Of court.
But where does T. r. come in ?
Why, it was this way. The trial
had dragged along; prominent
members of Washington's CONNER
cial and social world had testified
as to the splendid character of Har-
per and his dope; the Star paper,
the Post paper, the Times and the
Herald papers, had diligently sup
pressed all news, and all was going
like butter on a waffle when along
comes a chap from the peoples
lobby and says to 7. R.:
whats here? Why? Don't peo-
pie want to know"
And T. R. says:
Cert. Peoples foou law. lmpor-
tant. Where's district Attorney"
And Loeb calls D. A. and r. R.
says:
Rich malefactor here? Got him
in net? All right Good. See he
doesn't wiggle between meshes."
And then T. r. tells Loeb to go
out and tell all the reporters and
all the United Presses and Asso-
ciated Presses and all the syndl-
Gates and Golfers and the monthly
magazines AMI the Sunday supple
ments and the Springfield Republic
can and Jimmy Williams. And it
was SO.
And the next day Scott Bone put
four columns in his Herald paper
telling good people of District OF
Columbia about horrible shattering
their liberties were getting; how
hopeless was condition of constitu-
ton and bill of right; how deplor-
able was state of nation whose
chief executive interferred with
the courts. and altogether what an
outrage it was for anybody to try
to hand out vulgar Jail sentence to
gentleman who wears a silk hat,
and could buy the Herald and turn
them all outdoors if he had a mind
to.
And then our old friend Promi-
nent Cit began to get busy. The
proprietor of the PalaiS Royal, a
