This gave the Union forces control of the Missis. sippi the only important stronghold in the Mississippi valley that re mained secure to the Confederates.
 While the people in the North on this thirtieth of May were rejoicing over the victory Of their soldiers al Corinth and over the results which they felt would inevitably follow, what about the people in the South? Nearly year had now passed since the vic tory Of the Confederate soldiers al the battle of Bull Run. When the news of this victory had come to the south ern people many of them thought the war was over. So general was this impression that many of the southern soldiers had gone back 10 their homes, thinking that there would be no further need of their services. The evacuation of Corinth cast a gloom over the whole South, but there still remained with the southern peo pie an implicit confidence in the army of northern Virginia. which was. or that day. holding it's own in defense oi Richmond

More than sixty wells have been drilled in the Basin and Greybull oil fields.
 Shell creek seems suddenly to have loomed into prominence as an attractive field to oil men.
 State Geological Bulletin No. 10 on the Basin and Greybull oil and gas fields of Big Horn county says: The productive areas of the Basin and Greybull oil and gas fields comprise but a few square miles situated in townships 51 and g north and ranges 92 and g. west. Three anticlines, all relatively small. have been found to contain gas and oil in commercial quantity. The most southerly of these. the Torchlight Dome, is located about three miles east of Basin. The most northerly one occurs just south east of Greybull and is commonly known as the Peay Hill dome. The third one. usually referred to as the Lamb anticline, is smaller than the other two and lies between them but nearer to the "Torchlight dome"

MARKED END OF BITTERNESS
Pathetic ineiden, in Southern ceme tery Showed lessenins of
 Wartime Grief.

For a long time there was a rigid rule against erecting any but Federal monuments in Federal battlefield cemeteries and Confederate monu- ments in Confederate cemeteries. But as time passed and the bitterness healed slabs were placed here and there denoting that a one-time enemy slept among the others. When Me morial day came the flowers were placed ungrudgingly on the aliens mound.
 In one of the southern cemeteries where a northern soldier rests there was for long time a practice of dec orating every Confederate grave with a tiny Confederate fiag-the Stars and Bars As the survivors and the wid- ows and orphans of the Confederate dead came spring after spring to strew their flowers and plant their flags they halted at the Yankee sol dier's grave for a second with bitter thoughts Finally. as time passed and CTS on their foeman's grave also. In 1872. as young widow of one of | the dead Confederates went with her little daughter to decorate the graves the girl noticed that no Confederate | flag had been placed on the northern soldiers mound. So she placed one there The chairman of the Memorial committee, passing by, removed 1t.
 The little girl burst into tears and it was hard to explain things so as to satisfy her. Her elders began to think over the incident
 ! The next month. when the widow again went to the cemetery. she brought with her small Stars and Stripes. which she had procured only after considerable difficulty.
 This she silently handed her little daughter. who placed 1t lovingly on the Yankee soldiers grave.

GLADDENED BY
 FALL OF COR|NTH
Thirtieth of May. 1862. Was a Day of Great Rejoicing in
 the North.

THE thirtieth of May in 1862 was
 made memorable in Civil war his
 tory by the evacuation of Corinth. Miss. The seizure of this Confederate stronghold by the Union armies was an event which. estimated by its re- suits, may be regarded as the first i'm portant event of the war. Since the first of May Halleck had been trying to gain possession of this stronghold, which, at that time. was held by Beau regard. In the meantime Old Farm ington. the strongly fortified outpost of the Confederacy, about four miles from Corinth, had been given up; Mar maduke, who had been in command there, had retired to Corinth to re- enforce Beauregard. The Union forces had taken possession of Old Farmington. had cut of Beauregards railroad connections to the north and east and had. by the twenty-ninth of May. succeeded inSTorking their way to a position near the Confederate Notifications at Corinth, from which an assault could be made
 It was Halleck's intention to make an .sxult on the following morning. and he was expecting to meet with strong resistance But Halleck's ex- pectations were not realized. All night long the pickets and sentinels heard continuous roar of moving cars in Corinth. At early dawn Halleck sent out skirmishers. but no foe, appeared 10 oppose them. He then ordered sherman to advance with his troops toward the Confederate Notifications and to feel the enemy" But no en- emy could be found Where was he?
 Ont near Old Pennington there still stands a tall tree which today IS pointed out to sightseers who visit Corinth as Lookout Tree From the ion O, this tree the Union spies. at the time of the siege. with heid glass used to observe the movements of the Confederate troops

 city had been evacuated and left as nrtze of war to the Union army.
 On this thirtieth of May there was much rejoicing in the northern states Tor al, through the month of May the neoule there had been awaiting the outeome of this siege On the follow ing morning there appeared in the New York Tribune long editorial De ginning thus;

she was as silent as an Indian. Now and again, as she dressed. she looked at herself closely, ,almost anxiously. in her cracked mirror. With the knuckle of her forefnger she occasionally brushed away a fog of tears which blinded her And then she hurried down the stairs. out the back door and across the lawn to Mrs. Winthrop's baby, who was playing under the lilac hedge
 Bye, Hilma," he called, waving his fat little hand and holding up a spray of white lilac.
 The girl took him in her arms for a second, burying her face in his chubby neck. Tank you, little Yon." she murmured in her poor. broken Eng fish. "Hilma love sweet little boys yust like you" and putting him gently from her she took the spray of lilacs and hurried away.
 Well. did you see that?" remarked Mrs. Winthrop indignantly to her bus. band. If Hilma had known I was here at the library window she never would have dared help herself to our white lilacs. But Swedes are all alike: they have no more soul than an oyster; they're mercenary and unprin. cipled. through and through. admit though. that Hilma is something of a mystery. Do you know that in all the two years she has lived here she has never once gone out in the evening or had a single visitor? suppose her sweetheart works nights. some place SO she can see him only on her day out I ought never to have taken her as I did. without a reference" Mrs Winthrop was young. and lacked both experience and mentality.
