Getty's Great Stand.

With neither side enable to make head

and near the turnpike, the battle in

! UOUs and heavy skirmshing.
on the left the scene was different
Getty was making a stand against odds
| that wrote his name on the record Of
| fame in letters of gold. Arriving at the
crossroads at almost the same instant as
the skirmishers of Hills column. Getty
| had made his dispositions in the face Of
the enemy and had held on even when
Hills troops extended beyond both his
tanks. AS Getty looked for the arrival
Of Hancock he received frequent orders
| TO hold on at all hazards.
Hancock reached the Brock road in
person about o'clock. but IL was more
than two hours before his troops werssin
hand. Viewing the ground and seeing the
Importance of the Brock road, Hancock
set his men to building intrenchments
along that road.
The task of getting Hancock's corps Of
=. .OOO men into battle line in a single
woods road, lined with dense forest. was
an arduous one and even under the direc-
ton of Hancock. who had no peer at such
work, it was extremely slow. Hancock
was reluctant to enter the battle until
his troops were ready.
Meanwhile Getty was making des-
perate stand against odds. Two entire
divisions OF Hills corps were in front Of
him. At $3.50 he was ordered to attack
without waiting for Hancock. AS his
men moved out to the attack, as to n
forlorn hope. for they were much out
numbered. they met Hills forces advanc-
ing in attack.
The clash that followed was deadly.
Every thicket soon held a group of
wounded and dead But Getty's men
stood their ground until Hancock troops
came to their support. The fighting now
ragged with seething fury.
On the plank road A section Of guns
from Pickett's Pennsylvania Battery was
a rock against which the wave of battle
broke savagely. The horses were soon
all killed. but the guns were still being
served, when with a rush the Confed-
crates planted one of their flags beside
the Federal cannon. The guns were re-
taken by a charge of the Fourteenth In
diana and Eighth Ohio regiments OF Gen.
John Gibbons decision Of the Second
CORPS. This charge left dead men piled
one on another where the guns had
stood.
As the crescando of battle from his
left told Grant of the fierce struggle
there. he sought to strike Hills column
in flank by sending a division Of Gen.

Vera Cruz which Felix Fiaz might
have seized but, with his usual super
ficiality, he didn't know Of their pres
ence in the town until 1t was too late
and he was in need of rifles and am
munition at that moment. From
military standpoint Diaz also made
characteristic and fatal mistake
when, after seizing Vera Cruz, he did
not send out scouting parties to cut
the railroad lines between the capital
and his seaport stronghold. Over
these lines, within few hours after
his revolution, troops were rushed to
overthrow him, and Felix Diaz wound
up in Jail, with death sentence hang
ing over his head.
Mexicans, like all other folks the
world over, love winner But they
have seen Felix Diaz fail in every
thing he undertook and they were not
surprised to see Huerta, after Madero
had been overthrown, seize the presi-
dency and send the weak Felix Diaz
away on foreign mission. Almost
everything is fair in war and Mexi-
can politics, but there are thousands
Of former supporters of Felix Diaz
who have never been able to forget
that. after Madero had saved Diaz's
life, Diaz turned about and assisted
in taking the life of Madero. Among
all classes in Mexico, except for
few politicians who might profit by
his success, the opinion is general
that almost any candidate for the
presidency who might be selected
from present Mexican leaders would
be more efficient than Felix Diaz.
