squad of four others on the apex
of the picket line shaped like V
behind a breastwork Of rails. The bat
tie grew steadily warmer at that point.
Mr.. Tucker was behind one of the
others of the squad rolOading his rifle
when a bullet entered between the
rails and buried itself in the heart of
the comrade who was in the act of
shooting at the advancing rebels. Mr..
Tucker says he is alive today because
he was behind his c,mrade at the
time.
The attack finally grew so strong
that there was nothing to do but re
treat or be captured, and as none of
those on picket had a desire to be
captured they retreated at full speed.
1t was during this retreat that Mr..
fuckers clothing was punctured by
flying bullets.
The next night they herd three guns
fired at intervals of one minute and
interpreted this as an order for the
confederates to retreat and before day
light the pursuit had started, but they
arrived at the bridge at Kingston to
find it in flames. After pontoons had
been laid enabling the Union troops t
cross the pursuit was continued in the
direction OF Raleigh. Scouts reported
that another body Of the enemy was
marching to cut off the Union troops,
and in a pouring ram the order to
countermarch was given. Mr.. Tucker
says that the hike back was the tough
est of the kind he experienced.
They reached their destination after
midnight and with a comrade. Jack

FORTS TO SAVE HER.

Seized with convulsions without
any warning, Mrs. Z. o. Parker, wife
of DR.. Parker died suddenly this
morning at 1880 at st. Anthony's hos
pital in spite of every effort of the
physicians of Pendleton to save her
and the news came as a great shock
to her many friends.
Mrs. Parker was to have become a
mother in a few weeks ana the fact
she had been a sufferer from ne
phritis or Bright's Disease for several
years created a danger. For weeks
the physicians have been watching
her closely for unfavorable develop
ments and had discussed an opera
ton but during the past few days she
had showed every sign OF improve
ment and only yesterday stated that
she had felt better than she had for
a long time. This morning when her
husband left her for his office there
was nothing to indicate the approach
of the serious complications which
ended her life. The convulsions be-
gan about o'clock and she was
rushed to the hospital but she was be-
yond medical aid.
She had been married to DR.. Park
er only three years. but prior to that
was a professional nurse at the hos
pital where she died this morning
She had won many friends among the
residents of this city and her unex
pected and untimely death has caus
ed deep sorrow in the community am
profound sympathy for the bereavet
! husband.
