Mulligan's Own Story.

"On the night Of the Both of August
1861" said Colonel Mulligan, "as The
Irish brigade (Twenty-third Illinois
lay at Jefferson, Mo. | received orders
to cut my way through the enemy
go to Lexington and hold it at all haz
ards. Next morning the brigade start
ed with forty rounds Of ammunition
and three days rations. We marched
nine days without meeting the enemy
! foraging upon the country for sup.
| port. The trouble was not so much in
! getting into Lexington as in getting
out We found there Colonel Mar
shalPs cavalry regiment and $50 home
guards. Colonel Peabody joined US
Sept. 10 with the Thirteenth Missouri.
He came into the trenches with Gen
eral Sterling Price ana 10000 Confed-
crates at his heels.
Il took command Of the defense.
We mustered 2,7So men, with seven
six-pounders and forty rounds Of rifle
cartridges and but few rations. The
enemy had FIVE batteries, numbering
sixteen guns. We commenced throw
ing up intrenchments on College hill,
an eminence overlooking Lexington
and the broad Missouri. All day the
11th our men worked with pick and
shovel. That evening our picllets
were driven in. We waited until the
morning of the 18th, yigilant and
without sleep, and then a messenger
rushed in, saying, Colonel, the enemy
is pushing across the bridge in over
whelming force With a glass we
could see them as they came, General
Price riding up and down the lines
urging his men. Two companies of
the Thirteenth Missouri, with Com
pany X of the Irish brigade, drove
the enemy back and burned the
bridge.
''The enemy now made a det0ur and
approached the town on the Independ-
ence road. Six companies of the Mis-
sourians and the cavalry met them in
Lexington cemetery, and the fight rag
ed furiously over the dead We sue
ceeded in keeping the enemy in check
and meanwhile had thrown UP in
trenchments three or four feet high.
At 3 o'clock the engagement opened
with artillery. The contest ragged half
an hour, when a lucky shot knocked
over the enemy's big gun and eXplod
ed a powder caisson. The fight con
tinued until dusk, and as the moon
arose the enemy retired to camp, two
miles away. and Lexington was our
own again.

IDA ESCAPES INJURY
IN WRECK.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Omaha. Neb.-Seven people we're
killed and twenty-five injured. four OF
them seriously. in collision between
Missouri Pacific passenger train No.
los, northbound. en- route for this city
and fast freight train.
The wreck occurred at Fort Crook.
Fort Crook is ten miles south OF here.
The accident is believed to have re-
suited from misunderstanding OF or.
ders on the part of the freight crew.
A passenger train due to leave this
city for the South about the time OF
the accident was converted into re-
lief train and sent to the scene OF
the accident.
The relief train was returned to
this city with the uninjured and sew
eral OF those who were slightly in
jurcd. or these all were sent OH their
way. The more seriously injured are
being cared for at the army hSspital
at Fort Crook.
Governor Gilchrist Of Florida. who
was q passenger on the northbound
train, was uninjured.
1.-THE accident can only be attrib-
uted to the fallibility Of man. as the
freight crew seems to have had one
OF those mental lapses that some-
times occur. causing them to forget
all about the passenger train. not
withstanding special notification was
given them that 1t was due" Is the
explanation In brief OF the probable
cause OF the collision advanced by
President Bush of the Missouri Pa
cific.
"The freight train was made up OF
nineteen loads and three empty cars.
and was In charge Of Conductor Gross
and Engineer Crawford. 1t was an
extra without right Of way against
tho passenger train. According to In.
formation received by President Bush
these two men. both OF whom have
been In the service Of the Missouri
Pacific for number OF years. seem
to share the responsibility OF the &c.
cident."
President Bush continued:
For some unaccountable reason
these men apparently forgot all about
passenger train No. 105. There Is n
double track from Omaha to Gilmore
junction. SO that all the freight train
crew had to do was to walt at the
junction until after the passenger train
passed. Only n single track Is main.
tanned where the trains came togeth.
er."
1t was reported to President Bush
that Colonel William I.assitcr. In COM
mand ut Fort Crook. was on the scene
OF the wreck within u few minutes
after 1t occurred with his officers and
men. including the army medical
corps. and rendered valuable service.
