RETREATING TO LITTLE ROCK
Details Of Battle Of Saline River De
serlbed by Old Veteran, Who
Was Participant.

To be a gunsmlth and the proprie'
tor OF shooting gallery seems to be
natural for veteran OF the civil war
In tlnkering with the mechanism OF
rifles and reVolvers and In smelling
the smoke OF cartridges John d Gre
dlebaugh keeps a familiarity with mis-
youth In the war he was a soldier
OF the 40th Iowa infantry regiment
Afterward he became a sharpshooter
with Buffalo Bill, wild Bin and other
persons OF similar profession He re-
tains the appearance OF the frontiers
nan He confesses 10 the age OF 50,
though a casual guesseT would not ap
proach that figure by twenty years
One OF the stories that he tells in hit
home and place OF business In Chi
cago is OF the battle OF Saline river.
Arkansas. April 80. 1864, and H as
follows:
Gen Steele's expedition was re-
treating before the advance OF the
confederate army that had whipped
Gen Banks We had done our part
in occupying the Arkansas country
down TO Camden but the Red river
expedition In northern Louisiana was
broken up by Price and Kirby Smith
before we could Join Gen Banks at
Shreveport The confederate army
drove us out Of our position and back
toward Little Rock
I'VE had been on the march several
days from Camden when the enemy
caught up with US near the Saline
river, which we had to cross. The
crossing was going to be difficult be
cause II was in the spring and the
liver was flooded Our crossing, the
only one near the place we had come
to. was In a sharp bend of the river,
which we we're approaching from the
concave side We came down the road
that led to the ferry. and at a cross
road rebel battery opened fire on us
Beyond, between US and the river,
there was a rise Of ground and most
Of the army kept on and passed this
rise, leaving the rear guard 70 hold
back the attack The 10th Iowa regi'
ment was in the rear guard and We
helped prevent the advance of the
enemy We fought until nlghtfall
when the days fighting was over
we withdrew behind the rise OF
ground The slope went down to the
bottom land Of the river and it was
all wet ! went to sleep sitting
against a tree trunk and in the morn
ing awoke IN cold water up to my
breast II was still early in the year
the morning Of April 30 All the bot
tom had been flooded in the night and
the army had to go through the water
to the pontoon bridge that was laid
across the channel OF the river
while the crossing was going on
the rear guard had more fighting to
do We went back to the rise oi
ground and took our position there
not going down TO the crossroads.
The river bent behind us and came
around 10 the left and right in big
bow, so that our line could extend
from water TO water and prevent the
rebels from getting to the ferry We
fought from daylight until noon BY
that time the rebels were lying five
and six deep In three lines on the
slope of the hill
There was one battery that we
couldn't take for a long time. though

REQUEST PREPARING OF
 PATENT MONOPOLY" CASE

Washington, April 1.-The defeated par ties to the patent monopoly ease re- gently decided by vote of to 3 by the United States supreme court, today asked the court to rehear the issue be- fore a full bench. The United States government joined in the appeal with a request for permission to intervene be- cause the case is regarded of the great est public importance and involves the enforcement of the sherman antitrust law.
 The governments application vigorously declared the courts decision sustaining the right of a patentee to attach to the sale of an invention restrictions stipulat- ing that the purchaser must use in con nection with the patented article only such supplies which are not patented as are bought from the patentee of the invention seriously concerns the United States in a number of civil and criminal cases now pending under the Sherman law.
 The decision, the government submits, extends the power of property held un- der letters patent beyond the warrant of the constitution and the. grant of the patent law, and puts 1t above the author ty of Congress to regulate commerce among the several states and above the universal limitation expressed in the max

Washington, April 1.-The democratic wool bill today passed the House. 1s9 tc e2, with % progressive republicans voting for it. Representative Fucker of Cobra do, who opposed 1t in debate and answered present" on the roll call, and Represen- tative Francis of Ohio. who voted against l., were the only democrats who did not line up with the majority.
 Representative Payne moved to recon init the bill with instructions to the com mittee to report the republican substitute, but that was lost 169 to 10s.
 Supporters of the bill declared 1t would not cut the governments revenue, but would have more than $5O,0o0,0o0 a year to consumer sbecause of the readjustment of rates All attempts of republicans to amend the bill to increase the rates were lost. The tariff board came in for criti- cism during the speech making.
 Representative kitchin charged that Senators Shoot and Warren had deliber- ately imposed on the tariff board to maintain the high duty on wool.

imum "so use your own as not to injure another's."
 .'The distinctive right conferred by the letters patent cannot be made by the act of the patentee to attach to anything in which some quality of his invention does not exist,' the petition continues. Tt springs from the invention and Is limited to the invention and while 1t is exclusive it is not absolute, and so contract, sl- though it is related to the invention, If it's purpose and effect is to secure control or monopoly of something else than the invention, is not saved, even as a con tract by anything in the patent laws. but offends the public policy of the United States and is void as being in restraint of trade''
 The importance of the question, the government declares, cannot be over estimated, because the entire production and commerce of the country may be greatly burdened, and even completely monopolized if the exclusive rights of in- ventors may be extended beyond their inventions. The monopoly now being at tempted in some branches or manufac- ture and commerce, through the expan- sion of patent rights, it is added lis not the monopoly awarded to inventive ingenuity by the patent laws, but is a monopoly devised and secured by com nercial cunning, in violation of the anti trust laws.'

BLOODHOUNDS SET UPON
 TRAIL OF SIDNA ALLEN

Hillsville. April 1.-Two bloodhounds today were set upon the trail of Sidna Allen and his nephew, Wesley Edwards, the two remaining fugitives of the AL len clan. Though given what the de- tectives considered was the best trail they had found thus far. a heavy rain Is believed to have washed away the scent, and at nightfall the posse had met with no success. The trail given to the dogs began at the natural cave, where on Sat,aFrel.- a supply of ra- 7.ieas aid bianhots were abandoned by the outlaws in a sudden flight, caused by the close approach of the posse.
 The detectives have informat tion which tomorrow will set the dogs upon new track.
 Scipio Gray, who lives in the Fancy Gap section, reported the two outlaws
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-04-02

had appeared near his home yester- day. Gray knows the Aliens very we'll and his clue is considered reliable It is believed from Gray's attenuation the two men are moving back and forth between two bases of food supply about 10 miles apart.
 The report brought by Gray was cor roborated by Alexander McGraw, who lives nearby. and also declared he saw the fleeing men. Both Gray and Me Graw were agreed the outlaws were headed toward the home of Hubbard Easter, which Is about a mile and a half from Floyd Aliens house Hub
 bard Easter Is a close relative of the | Aliens and he, as well as all other

MONTGOMERY

Montgomery, April 1.--(special.(- (- Returns from about 15 of the 22 beats in Montgomery county show that a comparatively light vote was boiled In the primary today. The largest vote was boiled in the city and up to Il o'clock tonight all of the wards had been heard from save No. 2.

 For congressman at large, J. w. Ao- hrcrombie has a short lead over V. B Atkins Aud indications are that. he car ried Montgomery county by 100 ma Iority.
 John Wallace, Jr., has q lead over his nearest opponent, J. C. Cheney, by nearly 300 votes and s. Hugh Dent has carried the coun.y v an over Wbetming majority Dents vote at Il o'clock tonight was 2042 against 325 tor Wiley.
