Der now were James Bodwell and James
Wilcox. We could hear the confederates
on the outside of the church shooting and
calling on the sailors to surrender, and
occasionally heard a shot fired from the
inside Of the church by the federal officer.
Presently he came running down the eide
of the church and into the corridor and
stopped in the doorway leading into the
choir and covered me with his pistol. l
had met this officer on the street few
days before and had heated war argu-
ment with him, and when he pointed his
cooked pistol at me, l thought his inten-
ton was to kill me. 1 threw up both Ct
my hands as quick as possible and said,
''For Gods sake don't shoot me. :. he
replied. "Then take those men away
from here" l answered, THAT is not
in nv power; l have no control over
tbem.H He then left me and ran further
in the church. One of the confederates
ran in the left entrance and leveled his
revolver in the direction of the choir,
hut instead of covering the federal with
e "a he expected, it covered me. Thought
in his excitement he would certainly
shoot me. Instantly up went both OF my
hands and again I cried out, For Gods
sake don't shoot me-" He said, Where
did that yankee go% l answered, %!
don't know" In my excitement, l did
not think to tell him that the federal had
gone further in the church. The confed-
crate went outside without searching the
church for the federal. We learned after
wards that when the federal left me he
hid under a pew and remained there
until the confederates left and then made
his way to the river bank and gave q
signal to the gunboat, which was anchored
in front Of the town, and yawl was cent
ashore and he and a sailor who had es-
capped capture were taken aboard OF the

Buy Scouts.

The Boy Scout movement,
which is being very generally
entered into in the larger cities,
will likely become popular in the
smaller country towns as the
organization becomes better
known. Some effort we under
stand is being made to organize
in Sioux Falls and one or two
other cities in the state. Mr..
Harry Pawson is somewhat
interested in the movement and
has written to adquarters for
information in regard to estab-
fishing patrol IN Milbank. and
has signified his willingness to
take charge of the boys IN the
work. His acquaintance with
military matters and experience
in camp life as q militiaman
would be Of good service to the
patrol.
On an inside page descriptive
article of this boy organization
is given, with instructions as to
and oath of the
scouts.
