CaDtUre of Booth,

Editor National Tribune: To The Ma
tfonal Tribune history of Abraham Lin
coin I should like to add this concern
inl; the capture of Booth: Immediately
after the assassination they telegraphed
to Fairfax c. H., Va. (1S miles from
WashingtOn), for the Sth III. Cav, the
Presidents fayorite regiment, to move
at once to the White House. Before
day the next morning we drew up IN
front of the Executive Mansion, and re-
ceived orders to capture Booth. We
started at once thru lower Maryland
toward Port Tobacco. In the daytime
we would spread out like a fan and eX-
anime every nook and corner. We were
so close together that not even rabbit
could have gotten thru the lines with
out being seen. At night we were sta
TONED on secret posts, and pickets were
placed on every road and bypath. Every
suspicious person was arrested. one
day a part of the regiment came to a
spring, where they found two men. One
of the men seemed to be sick. The well
man said that he was there with his
friend, who was an invalid. taking care
Of him. Afterward we learned that
Booth had a broken leg, and we also
secured his picture. We knew by the
description that was sent to us from
Washington that it was Booth who had
been seen at the spring. When part
| Oh the regiment arrived at Dr Muuu
| Booth had been gone about 10 minutes.
DR.. Mudd was arrested. Booth was
traced from there to the Potomac Riv-
er, where he had given a man So for
ferrying him across. When the ferry
man returned he was arrested also.
| My understanding at the time was
that the 10th n. Y. Cav. had been sent
down on the Virginia side of the Poto-
mac to guard it. They held the bag
while we drove the game in. Later the
news came that Serg't Boston Corbett,
of the 10th n. Y. CAY, had shot him in
Garretts barn. - IA
About 25 years ago T became ac.

Strange Happenings.

Editor National Tribune: Comrade
Warren A. MatsOn, Sergeant. Sd Me.
told me an incident of his army life, as
follows: Our regiment was lying down
under a heavy artillery fire, and we
were hugging mother earth as close as
we could when suddenly l felt an i'm
pulse, with almost the force of a clearly
spoken word: Move little to the right
Not stopping to question or doubt,
obeyed the mysterious suggestion, and
an instant later there crashed thru eX-
actly in the line where L had been' a
solid cannon shot, which would un-
dOubtedly have left but a grease spot of
me had / not moved according to the
strange order. L don't attempt to ac-
count for it, but am sure it saved my
life
A few weeks ago I was chatting with
another comrade, Capt. Gorton, of the
one better than that. At one time in
the battle of Mine Run my regiment
was in the same condition you tell Of
lying fiat as possible. 1 heard a man a
few feet distant say, I don't feel safe
here and saw him move quickly to one
side, and almost at the same instant a
solid shot passed right where he had
been lying. A few moments later he
said: That is now the safest place in
the field. because lightning seldom
strikes twice in the same place He
went and lay down in the furrow made
by the shot, but in a minute or so he
said. L am not so sure about the safety
of this place and with the words he
rolled to one side, and another cannon
shot plowed in the old furrow and GOV.
cred him with dirt, yet he was unhurt'

The Pegram Raid.

Editor National Tribune: l saw in
The National Tribune of Nov. 25, 1909,
an account of the Pegram raid into
Kentucky in 1863 by S. NJ. Boone. I
was in that miXup, and was a nom
commissioned officer in the Mountain
Howitzer Battery he spoke of. There
were two 12-pounder brass guns, and
the men were detailed from the 10th
Ky. Cav. and, I think, the 44th or 45th
Ohio, commanded by Lieut.. C. f. Smith,
of one of the latter regiments. 1t was
to go with the cavalry, and we were all
mounted on horses. We were with VOL
ford's Cavalry the 1st Ky.), and met
Pegram's forces at Stamford, and were
there until Pegram crossed the Cum
beTland River, near Somerset, Ky. My
understanding was that we were trying
to delay them until the Government
stores were moved from Danville.
We fell back at Stamford, and took a
new position and held it until it got too
warm for us; then we retired again.
After we retired thru DanViIle they
charged us on our flank and rear. They
! pushed Wolfords men back on us in
the pike, so we could not use our guns.
Some of our men, concealed behind q
stone wall, surprised the rebels by a
| flanking fire on them, which, relieved
the pressure on our. battery, and we
| brought them into action again. VOL
/
| hand-to-hand struggle with the John
nies, during which Lieut.-Col. Adams,
of the 1st Ky. Cav, was captured. We
fell back to Camp Nelson, on the Ken
lucky River, and lay Jhere dAy or two.
! We turned on them and followed them
thru Crab Orchard to Dutton Fill. We
drove their pickets in about 10 a. m,
and drove them from the hill about 8
p. m. by our men dismopnting and
forming at the foot OF the hill. Our
battery was to fire over our men as they
charged. There was another battery of
rifle guns in line with us. 1t was an
Indiana battery, but do not know the
number
After we had taken the hill a rebel
force came up in our rear, and dashed
into our wagons, ambulances and
horses. Wolford went back with force
and soon put them to rout. We fol-
lowed them to the Cumberland River
but it was dark and they crossed that
night. G. Creighton, Co. B, 10th Ky
