WEE INCIDENT OF CIVIL WAR
Young Soldier crawIs Along Burned
Bridge at Night and compels
Enemy to Retreat.

The bravest and coolest act that
came under my observation during
five years military service at the
time of the Civil war, was that of
Isaac B. Hardy, soldier nineteen
years of age, who has been for many
years resident of Santa Barbara.
March 8, 1866, Gen. Sherman, on his
march through the Carolinas, arrived
before Cheraw, on the great Pedee
river. Here the Seventeenth corps,
with my regiment, the sixty-fourth H.
linois. known as the Yates Sharp
shooters, in the lead as skirmishers,
held the center, writes Brig. Gen. J. s.
Reynolds In Los Angeles Times.
was ordered to Immediately ad-
vance the skirmishers at a double
quick through the town to the west
end of the only bridge there over the
river, and. If possible, prevent the
enemy from destroying it. We reached
the bridge after the exchange of many
s4ots with fleeing squads of the en-
emy's cavalry, who had been guard.

but already the farther end Of the

became presidents, one OF the United
States, the other of the confederacy
These two officers were on duty for 9
short time in the two other forts
named.
While at Fort Crawford Lieutenant
Davis wooed and won General Taylor's
daughter, his first wife. 1t is said to
have been a runaway match, but that
has been disputed. At all events Gen
eral Taylor was 80 much offended
that he and Lieutenant Davis were
enemies until one day, while Taylor
was commanding an army and Davis
was colonel of Mississippi regiment
in the Mexican war, Davis was serious
ly wounded in battle.
At the next general election Taylor
-"Old Rough and Ready" as he was
called-was elected president -Four
years later General Pierce was chosen
president and one of the first things
he did was to offer his Mexican war
comrade, Colonel Jefferson Davis, a
seat in his cabinet, which the future
Confederate leader accepted. He made
a very good secretary Of war.
- Speaking of presidents, Wisconsin
people do not forget that volunteer
captain from Illinois campaigned In
their territory during the Black
Hawk war. He camped for a night
where Whitewater now stands, and
was also at Fort Atkinson before Gov
ernor w. D. Hoard made 1t prominent
by becoming the foremost butter and
cheese man in the country That was
Capt. Abraham Lincoln. Nor should
l stop here. A young lieutenant, with
his wife and daughter, went 20 years
ago to Fort Winnebago, where the
lieutenant was stationed for several
years. He was r. B. Marcy. Mrs.
Marcy was a prime social favorite and
their girl was beloved by the entire
garrison. She grew to beautiful wom-
anhood and married captain OF the
engineer corps. In 1851 the captain,
who had retired to civil life, was ad-
vanced over all the officers in the
army except Brevet Lieut. Gen. Win
field Scott, and was placed in active
command of the army. That Is what
happened to Maj. Gen. George B. Nc
Clsllan, who three years later was the
choice of his party for president, and
officers who knew little Miss Marcy at
Fort Winnebago were almost per.
suaded to favor her husbands election
SO that she could be mistress of the
White House. A recent mayor of New
York is her firstborn.
When General Mcclellan assumed
command of the army in 1851 his
was major and pay
master. The general lost little time in
placing him on his staff as brigadier
general.
This story would not be complete
without reference to the social life |
at those army posts of the early DAYS. |

100 miles from Fort Howard to Fort
Winnebago, and by the Wisconsin riy.

Sometimes a friendly Indian did the

cavalry had to ride through the smoke
and blaze to escape.
The sharpshooters kept the enemy
away from the bridge while our pi
oneers crossed over to the fire and
extinguished 1t. Only = charred
stringer was left of the burnt span
connecting with the shore abutment
When the pioneers returned and the
sharpshooters stopped firing, line
of infantry formed on the opposite
bank of the river and commenced FIR
ing on our men. Then we we're or
dered to deploy the sharpshooters
along our shore and drive the enemy
from their position. Our rifles did
good execution, and the enemy retired
out of range. At dusk they again
moved down to the river and brisk
fire was kept up from both sides till
near midnight, when it slackened tc
only an occasional shot from either
side.
About / o'clock we heard the report
of one of our Windsor rifles at or near
the farther end Of the bridge, and this
report kept up as fast as lively sol
der could load and fire. Our men
recognized the gun and. as the en-.
envy had commenced brisk fire, our
entire line opened fire on the opposite
shore, avoiding sending their bullets
too near tha bridge
Here follows young Hardy's mod
est narrative of his midnight trip into
the enemy's lines.
Il walked over to about the middle
of the bridge; then I crouched down
and went forward very quietly, keep
ing in the shadow Of the railing, till

OF that little rosewood box took on
an added Importance to him and to
the others, out of all proportion 10 any
effect which the solution of 1t could
have. One by one, with the exception
Of the Portuguese, they tried. Hour
after hour they labored with 1t, and in
variably they failed.
The rest Of them gave 1t I'D. and
their admitted defeat gave Roscoe an.
other incentive for solving the thing
himself, for he meant to leave no
stone unturned to convince them that
they were fools and weddings; that
he, Roscoe. was the only man among
them. Such a conviction was neces-
sary to his leadership.
1t was toward the end OF that win
ter that the Portuguese made a sug-
gestion destined to zeal fruit. IT'S

he said. You can't open it, and IL
you break 1t, the curse will kill you"
He evidently believed implicitly
in this theory, for no persuasion could
induce him to touch the box himself.
Gradually the others had shown, by
little involuntary acts, shrinkings and
glances, that Miguel's belief was in
fecting them. Sometimes, after a long
succession OF sleepless, lightless days,
Roscoe found himself believing 1t. too.

As he did so, he heard a ragged vol

fighting, which he understood and did
not fear. helped restore to equilibrium
his mind, which a moment before had
been lettering to absolute destruction.
Once he could get back to his boat
and feel the oars under his hands
again-once he found himself pulling
out toward the yacht, no matter how
desperate the odds awaiting him there
might be against him. he would, he
felt, be himself once more.

done upon the owner OF 1t. The crime

To overcome that feeling, he had
worked all the harder trying to solve
Its secret.
His interest, now, however, in ma
king sure that the box had really been
brought aboard the Aurora was not
superstitious. but wholly practical.
They were leaving most Of their stores
behind them, as there was nc time
either to transport them to the Au-
rora or to destroy them. With these
stores and with the shelter afforded
by the hut and the little clump of sur
rounding out-buildings, 1t was prob
able that some members OF the Au-
rora's party, at least. would survive
the winter. II a relief ship should

had Captain Fielding's journal in it-a
Journal that had been written up to
the very morning when Roscoe had
murdered him. Its discovery would

zap which Roscoe mean to leave In
their departing trail. In short, If that
rosewood box were left behind, Ros-
coe would always fee that he was in
more or less danger Of detection. And
he didn't mean to have a thing lii

Park Problem.
Then too. there is the park problem.
Marion has what might be called
plethora Of perks, but hasn't any real
park. Some members of council are In
favor of spending a given sum, say ST.
OO0. each year for ten years, or five
years. on bne park, To put in shape
to bear the title OF park, without trifl-
ng with the truth. The present idea
has been To- wait until 5000 or $4,000
nccumulatcs for when the city has
Iu other use, and then spend 1t all
on the parks. There isn't much prob
ability Of such q tAing occurring and
an effort will be made to arrange mat
tors so that certain sum win he
spent each year on on2 OF the parks,
probably the north end. THAT comes
nearer approaching u real park than
any Of the others.
Another matter thnt is likely TO re-
ccive attention Is the number of hours
during which the railroads keep their
crossing watchmen on duty. II is
claimed that the major;:y OF these
Watchmcn are men who ure consider
