their part and II they lose It Is their
own fault This plan Is. frequently
adopted so as to be sure OF securing a

SAVED ROME TO CONFEDERACY
John H. Wisdom, Who Made Famous
Ride i'm s65 Is Dead.

Gadsden, Ala, July 29.-John H
Wisdom, who died near here today at
the age of eighty-seven years, won
fame in 1865 by a daring ali night
ride from Gadsden to Rome, Ga. a
distance of sixty-seven miles. which
resulted in the capture by the Con-
federate cavalry leader, Gen. N. B.
Forest, of Gen. Abel D. Straight, and
the saving to the Confederates of the
foundries and stores at Rome.
Wisdom started from the east shore
of the Coosa river shortly after night
fall on his perilous trip, covering the
distance in less than seven hours and
using on the trip seven horses. He ar
rived at Rome six hours ahead of
General Straight, and the city was
prepared for the latter's coming, Gen
eral Straight and many of his raiders
being taken prisoners.
The city of Rome presented Wisdom
with costly silver service and $400
in cash, besides giving a cash purse
of $4OO to the woman who furnished
horse for the last leg of the jour
ney.
