HERO OF Shiloh
LOST HIS MONEY
w. T. Wood, Confederate Veteran Re-
Iates Experiences in N. o.
G. N. e. Wreck.

w. T. Wood, Confederate veteran,
who escaped death Lut was badly
bruised up in the North Eastern wreck
on Monday, is here under care South
Mississippi Infirmary. He was on the
streets Wednesday proclaiming very
earnestly his praise of Hattiesburg
hospitality. To a News reporter he
gave an account of his experience in
the wreck. He was standing on his
feet when the crash came, but quick
as flash he found himself doing the
clown act of standing ON his head.
He had $6.15 in coin of the realm in
his pocket before the crash and only
l5c afterwards, his dollars having part
ed company with his small change. He
was pinioned down and the glass from
window sash was right against his
throat. The glass had to be broken
by his rescuers before he could be
liberated. Mr.. Wood says he was in
the battle of Shiloh, which occurred so
years and one month to the day prior
to the wreck which came about as
near claiming his life for toll, as did
Federal bullets so many years before.
Wood was a Mississippian at the time
of enlisting when but boy 10 years
of age. He afterward went to Arkan-
sas and near the end of the war was
engaged as a blockade runner. Dur
ing the war he received a bayonet
thrust, and was badly wounded in the
leg by bursting shell. His injuries
will probably keep him in Hattiesburg
for some time. He has no objection
to staying in such a good place, he
says.
