When Frank o'BrIen Was Shot.

Mr.. M. O'Rourke, himself 4 faith,
full soldier In the cause Of the south,
tells the Register the following story
of the late Frank P. OBrien. mayor OF
Birmingham, who died last week:
"It was at Washington. N. c., and
we we're under the fire of the Yankee
gunboats. Frank P. O'Brien, who was
standing by my side, was struck and
fell In a heap. I stopped to see what
! could do for him. There was ap-
parently a serious wound directly
over his heart, where his coat WAS cut
to pieces. I opened the coat and felt
inside, finding first a note book. that
was mashed into pulp. Underneath,
however, there was no break of the
skin, the book having taken the force
of the piece of shell that had hit him.
Frank was clean knocked out After
a little he revived.
Mike, l am dying he said.
"'No, Frank said I. you are o
hurt
""Yes, I am replied Frank I'm
dying. Tell them that I died like a
true Irishman.'
"But he got up pretty soon, and
lived to fight another day-a good
many other days."-Mobile Register.
