Voted to Go Into Eight.

]. w. Pinney, 28th n. Y, says that
he enlisted in April, 1851, in the 2Sth
n. Y, for the compensation of s11 a
month. He served two years, and his
regiment was ordered to the rear just
before the battle of Charlottesville.
The General commanding the division,
"Old Pap" Williams, objected to send
ing so many of his troops back on the
eve of great battle. He had just
lost the 10th Me. The 2Sth y. Y. voted
to go into the fight regardless of the
order. on the night of the third day
of the fight the regiment was surround
ed and captured, while deployed at the
log fence trying to stop the Eleventh
Corps, and sent to the old Libbey board
ing house. After being paroled, Com
rade Pinney was not physically able 70
go back into the army. In 1906 he ac-
cepted $12 a month under the McCum-
Der act, and ii has been a great help
to him. There is no hope OF success
of any pension legislation unless all
pull together for one measure. and he
urges everyone to do what he can for
the support of the Sulloway bill.

boys who We're going out to see the

He made the remark that he would
like to have a wrestle with that Indian;
that he believed he could down him.
When the escort with the Indian ar

His hands were tied in front of him

he should be hung. They were in a
quandary, not knowing what to do until

to bring the Indian down and not shoot

Government has derived from the fruits
of this great conflict are a thousand

been distributed to its defenders.
A Nation such as ours cannot de-
pend on regular military or naval es-

honor turnout the world. Its present
military equipment ds but handful
compared to the large standing armies

should conflict with such a Nation
arise, you would find the volunteer of

patriotism. 1t can afford to encourage
the young men of to-day in the belief
that it will not be backward in help

articles in The National Tribune OF
June coming from the different COM
rades who were on the Conner eXpedi-

There WAS quite story told us on our
arrival at Fort Laramie regarding the
hanging of one of the Indians. AS
remember, there were two scaffolds
with two bodies hanging on one-Two-
Face and another Indian-while the
other had but one, all hung with
chains. We understood the hanging
took place at two separate times. The
story was about the one who was hung
alone.

the Indian from the guard house to
the place of execution he started to
sing his death song. This Indian was

defense of their country. He then ask
ed if any member of the House was

seemed to be little objection to appro-
