vail the movement. The line of march
was to make long detour to the south,
SO as to be out of observation from the
higher ground around Chancellorsville
1t was a feat of the greatest magni-
tude to march $4,000 soldiers with ar
tillery, ambulances, ammunition, etc,
along single road, which was bounded
on either side by dense thickets and
copses to prevent, any liberty of move
ment outside of the beaten track. In
spite of the efforts of the officers to keep
the, column closed up 1t stretched out
to a length of five or six miles. While
this movement was going on Lee kept
up a great show of attack with artillery
fire along the Union left and front, so
made occasional dashes, as if leading an
attack in force
The Position of the Army.
Early in the morning Of May 2 Hook
er had ridden along the whole
length of his line, and found everything
satisfactory. except that the right was
not judiciously placed nor strong
enough, and he gave orders for inn
proyement in that direction. On re-
turning to headquarters Hooker direct
ed Gen. Sickles to make a reconnois-
sance to the front and left of Chancel-
rOI Nei. btlls ,
commanding division, sent out the
18th Mass, Col. William Blaisdell, to the
left, and the 26th Pa, Col 3. C. Thigh
man, to the front. Both regiments
pushed back the enemy in front OF
them, securing a number of prisoners
and suffering themselves but slight loss.
Gen. Birney, commanding a division OF
the Third Corps, had gone into line on
the left of the Eleventh Corps, and
found himself on elevated ground
which enabled him to see a considerable
distance to the front. There was open
ground over which Jackson's columns
had to pass, and about o'clock Gen.
Birney reported to Gen. Sickles that a
continuous column of infantry, with
trains and ambulances, was passing his
front heading westward. He had open
ed upon it with his rified cannon and
thrown the column into confusion. This
report brought the pleasing information
for which Hooker had been longing
that Lee was retreating under the pres
sure of Sedgwick's attack and Stone
mans raid and the presence of the
army on his flank. Orders were sent
to Birney to pierce the column and gain
possession of the road. The division
made & splendid advance over the diff
cult ground, crossing Scott's Run on a
bridge of rails, and, led by BerGan's
Sharpshooters and the Goth Ind, cap
tured considerable force of the enc

however, and Sickles sent Whipple's Di-
vision to his assistance and ordered Bir-
ney to follow Whipple. Birney and

Hooker and all those Immediately about
him were unalterably of the opinion
that Lee was in rapi5 retreat upon Cor
louisville, and yet Sickles. who was
eager to pursue, was checked by Hooker
and explicitly warned not to go too far.
Hooker's orders to Slocum and Howard,
above quoted. spoke of the possibility of
an attack upon the extreme right, and
yet all the reserve of the Eleventh Corps
was taken from it to be sent to Sickles.
There was nothing before Sickles but a
thin line of skirmisners, still fully 20,-
900 men were massed at that point.

firmation of Hooker's theory of Lees
retreat, no attention was paid to the
fact, freely communicated by the pris-
oners. that their regiment was the rear
guard of Jackson, and that the whole of
his column had passed beyond Sickles's
front If Jackson had passed, what was
the necessity of massing the troops un-
der Sickles, and why was he so strictly
cautioned? If Hooker had any fears
as to the long, thin, irregular flank of
the Eleventh Corps, why were not ordi-

MILTON BRANS0N
Died at Rochester, Minnesota, No
vember 18th, 1908. Funeral in
Manning Last tuesday.

Milton L. Branson was one of ma
tures noblemen. A man of learning
and always ready to promote public
improvements. In township and
school affairs his labors were for the
best that could be obtained. Always
prudent in the levying of taxes and
careful in the expenditure of the same.
If unbiased opinion was needed in
township affairs, Mr.. Branson was
counseled. In church as we'll as othe
matters he let his light shine right
out.
1t was q pleasure to Sit with Mr..
Branson and transact public business.
While others were talking discourag
ingly of any pet project you may have
submitted, Mr.. Branson would draw
out the fact, patch up the weak spots
and move its adoption.
1t was along in the early eighties
that he bought his fine farm in west
ern Lincoln and became first class
citizen of Lincoln township. In 1902
he disposed of his landed interest in
Audubon county and after a short
trip, relocated in or near Fairmont,
North Dakota, where he resided until
his death which occurred recently in
the hospital at Rochester, Minnesota.
His fine farm that he left here is one
of the monuments built by his own
hands and will ever remain a rose in
field of thorns for the country was in
its toughest when he purchased it and
he made model farm of it before
he left for the north.
He was of the F. r. Mclaughlin,
j. A. Campbell, O. S. Welsh and
s. +. Garmire class of men that are
builders and in whose hands the ma
ton would be safe. Our coincidence
is extended to the bereaved family.
