as Told by a Soldier Who
Saw IL
IN my story Of the Civil War (Bethany)
there is heartrending incident taken from
life.
A Georgia volunteer who was tired of
idling in camp below Savannah trans
ferred himself to the Western Confederate
Army, where fighting was going on.
While discharging his duty bravely as a
Confederate soldier he was arrested as
deserter, tried, condemned and shot to death
By the Confederates.
The story is so shocking, as told in my
book, that Captain John Todd, of Texas,
stoutly denied it's veracity.
In The JEFFERsoNIAN if two weeks ago,
/ gave my authority for the tragic incident.
Now comes, voluntarily, another soldier
who knows the facts, and who witnessed the
shooting, by Comfederates, of as true South
ern patriot and as brave a soldier as ever
wore the Gray.
It is hardly necessary for me to say that I
consider this military murder very black
spot upon the record and the character Of
Gen. Joseph E. Johnston.
The following is the letter of the living
witness:
Hon. T. E. Watson,
Dear Sir: I have just finished reading ex- Capt.
Todd's criticism "Bethany,'' and beg leaf to
state, not what have heard what have read,
thought, but what 1 saw, and know. I was
private (and am not ashamed of IT'D in Co. D.
25th Ga. Reg. Infantry, Walker Brig. This Bril-
gade consisted of the 25th 10th, and Both Geor-
ga Regiments. We were ordered/to Mississippi
in the early summer Of 1868. While in Mississippi
this man Red" Chapman was recognized by one
of his old comrades in the 29th 30th Regi-
ments he was arrested, court martialed and con-
demned to be shot Our army under the COM
mand of Gen J. E. Johnston, after the fall of
Vicksburg fell back to Jackson, built breastworks
and offered battle to Gen. Grant for eight days,
but he would not fight, more than to she'll our
lines. During this Smelling Maj. Lamb look
ing over the breaStWOTk, when a shell struck him
right between the eyes, with the approval of all
the men, after they knew he the cause of
Chapman's condemnation. He refused to sign a
petition for his pardon, and in consequence Gen.
Johnson would not grant it. About week or ten
days after army fell back from Jackson the
order of the court martial was executed Our
Brigade was formed in old field to witness the
execution. The condemned man was marched
out in front of our line and caused to knee beside
his coffin, facing the death squad, volley and
RED" Chapman dead man. This is what
l saw, and it so impressed my mind and feelings
that never will forget it, We all looked upon it
as a military murder, inasmuch Chapman never
did desert the Southern cause, his only offence
was that he had gone from of the service
to another, without being transferred.
Most respectfully, yours for the truth of history,
o. E. METZGER,
Co. D. 25th, Ca, Infantry,

WOLF HUNTS IN LAPLAND.
Reindeer Must Be Protected as They
Are the Nations Wealth.

Reindeer Must Be Protected as They
Are the Nations Wealth.
The Swedish Lapps are said to live
entirely with, by and upon their rein
deer A Lapp who owns thousand
deer is a rich man. but as taxes are as
sessed upon the number of deer he Is
inclined to underestimate his herd.
The most dangerous enemy of the
herd is the wolf. which can kill any
deer. A band of wolves can make a
rich Lapp poor.
When the snow is deep and soft and
it is announced that wolf tracks have
been seen in the neIghborhood Of the
deer the swiftest runners on snowshoes
prepare for an exciting chase.
The wolf may have a start of a mile
or two. but the track 1t leaves in the
deep, soft snow In so conspicuous that
the hunters can follow 1t at their best
speed. The wolf, though he may run
swiftly, has but a slight chance of es-
Gaping his pursuers on their snow
shoes.
Each hunter does his best to outrun
the others, for the wolf belongs to the
Lapp who strikes the first blow. AS
soon as the leading hunter is close
enough to the wolf he gives it a heavy
blow across the loins with his strong
spiked snowshoe staff. If there are
other wolves to be pursued he kills II
outright If not. he disables it and
waits till all the hunters have arrived
before giving the death stroke.-Pitts

UNDERGROUND ULSTER.
PuzzIns Relics of Ancient Ways OF
Living In ireland.

Living In ireland.
Curious underground passages called
"souterrains' exist in many parts Of
Ulster. They are built or dug few
feet below the ground and laid out
with chambers and possible hiding
places or boiling holes, according to
more or less we'll defined plans. They
are not large enough for a man to
stand upright in. He would have to
crawl on his hands and knees to ex-
plore them or to make use Of them in
any way.
Some districts are honeycombed with
them. What could they have been
used for? Not for living in, though
primitive pottery has been found in
them; not for the dead, though some
Etruscan burial places were not dis
similar, because no bones have been
found; possibly for refugees. Some OF
the souterrains are fifty to seventy feet
long.
Irish and local tradition attribute
them to the fairies. the good people
the Danes-like the Essex Dene-holes
which are probably only chalk pits-or
in rare instances, to the Picts, But the
Danes referred to by the Irish coun
try people are not the modern Danes
but probably the Tuatha de Danaan,
people who are said to have lived il
Ireland before the coming of the Celts
They are the fairies" and are said Il
have been of small stature. like "chil
dren," the country people will tell one
