mand of the Union soldiers. The
weather was very hot and dry and
Hampton and Sheridan made it rot
for us boys on Saturday. The first
days fight in a very short time, I
might say at the first round or TWO
our Co. X had two killed-Cain pnd
Saddler, and two severely wounded
and died in few days-Welbourn
and Whitner. Several others were
wounded at this engagement. Our
company was left mounted for quick
service and did not get in with the
regiment but the racket had not been
on but short time until we were CT
dered to dismount and move forward.
We doubled quick through or ito
an original forest with heavy Under
growth, not many large trees. We
came to an old rail fence about the
top of the ridge we fell down behind
the fence, the Yankees were ambush
ed near the fence and poured neavy
volley into our ranks. There was
quite confusion at first. There was
not commissioned officer where |
was and there we were without any
orders and Yankees with their seven
shooters doing all they could and we
were not firing gun. There were

fence corner and I said, Boys, we can
not see them, let's fire through the
thicket; their balls came to us and
ours can go to them" So we COM
menced firing and in few seconds
all had turned loose and in a very
short time they ceased firing and such
a time their officers had trying to get
them to fall in line. They would blow
the bugles and curse their men and
we kept up heavy firing and they
never did get them to charge in that
thicket, but soon our line on the eX-
treme right gave away and we had to
fall back in a little disorder. In the
fiercest of the battle it was too hot
for one of our boys and in about ten
feet In our rear there was a large
tree and he wanted to get behind it,
but was afraid to get us as he might
be shot, so he crawfshed back to it
when the firing slackened an officer
came downthe line and made him get
back to the fence, but as soon as he
left he got back to the tree. 1t was
right amusing to see him getting
back in line and it created some

returned from Gettysburg, l stopped
at Charlottesville and boarded a train
on the c. G. & o. R. r. and went to
the old battlefield at. Travillian Sta

to the place where I was shot. The
place locker natural except the rail
road cut which was not near so deem
as l thought it was. I went to the
spot where a house was burned in a
grove near the railroad. A negro was
living in the grove and asked him
II he had any bullets that he had
gathered off the battlefield. He had
none, but went into the house and
got grape shot which he said he
got out of one of the trees in the ward
that had died some time before. |
asked him which side of the tree was
the ball in, he said the side toward
the Union soldiers. l believe he told
me the truth, because we had no ar

it now.

Detective Swore Falsely
Tried to Convict Druggist with
Trumped Up Evidence.

Frank Miller, a self styled
private detective, who has been
employed by parties in the north
end of the county to gather evi
dence of the illegal sale of intox-
icating liquors, has signed a
sworn statement that his charg-
es against B. A. Connolly, Ros-
holt druggist, were false and un-
true and that he never purchased
any liquor of Connolly. He
further alleges that parties who
were enemies of Connolly were
at the bottom of the charges.
Miller bught to be prosecuted
along with the parties who paid
him Summit Independent.
If it is true that Miller simply
cooked up" his case against
Connolly for the reward he was
to receive in case of conviction,
he should be given the limit of
the law. In his testimony against
Connolly, on cross examination,
Miller admitted that his pay in
blind pig cases depended upon
the conviction of the parties ac-
cused.

he wandered on. and on. In his
delirium he thought he heard
streams of running water, but
when he reached them they
were rivers of jewels, cascades
of gems and he would have given
them all for one drop of water.
Like one drop of pure water in
the midst of acres of diamonds,
is the soul of man, more valuable
than all of them, priceless. The
angels know it's value.
The angels rejoice because
they know the curse of sin. Sin
lis like scarlet, like folly, like
deadly disease germs, like
serpent which a man takes into
his life and fancies he can con-
troll, but after a time it will crush
the life out of him.
The angels rejoice when a
sinner repents because they
know the meaning of repentance.
Repentance is turning from sin
and condemning it and turning
! to God and believing in his par
don and redemption. There is
joy when the angels see the
prodigal returning from the far
country.

Father, L have decided that I

Grant did not order the prison
door opened and the prisoner
thrust out. He simply let the
