VETERAN FINDS MAN
HE SHOT YEARS AGO
p. j. Knapp Hit Confederate Sharp
Shooter in Eye at Siege of
Nickshurg

KELSO, Wash, Sept. 1.-P. j. Knapp,
Civil, war veteran, after IS years, has
traced the course Of bullet he fired at
the siege of Nicksburg.
Some time ago Mr.. Knapp read news
despatch saying that w V. Meadows,
Confederate veteran of Lanott, Ala, had
coughed up a bullet which was shot into
his eye at Vicksburg Mr.. Meadows, the
account said, was a member of the 9th
Alabama regiment, and Mr. Knapp re-
called an incident at the siege, when he
and three other members of the 9TH Iowa
Volunteers were called upon to silence a
Confederate sharpshooter who was firing
through a small hole in sheet of boiler
plate.
After Mr.. Knapp fired. the sharpshoot-
er's shots were discontinued, and it was
surmised that he had been shot in the
| eye.
| When Mr.. Knapp wrote to Mr.. Mead
ows the latter said that he was the man
behind the boiler plate and that the bull
! let entered his right eye. Mr.. Knapp re-
| ceived a photograph of the bullet and OF
| Mr.. Meadows. The two veterans have
lenioyed considerable correspondence
over the incident.

CINCINNATI, Sept. 1.-The average
Englishman, with all of his proverbial ln-
sistence upon his personal rights. calls
less often upon his courts for relief than
does his American cousin, declared John
w. Davis. former ambassador to Eng
land. in an address here last night before

he gave some random observations on
the organization of the legal profession in
/ England and the administration of Eng
/ lish Justice"
| Who Shall come forward with an eX-
PLANTATION of this fact, if fact it be- asked
Mr.. Davis. is it survival of days long
gone when Justice was not only costly but
/ tardy and uncertain; is it because there
exists i'm England a class of lawyers whose
! business lies wholly outside the courts
and in whose hands many controversies
are settled without judicial aid; or IS
/ there a reason deeper still in the age-long
| habit of this island people to respect the
/ law they have made and live their daily
/ lives within its welI-marked circleE
/ Startling as ii may seem, the litiga
ton of England and Wales is relatively
little more than the litigation in our fed
!. eral courts alone: and the vast tide OF
controversy that flows through our state
tribunals may be credited to us as surplus
belligerency."
The speaker, after discussing the ranks
and orders into which the legal profession
in England is divided, declared that Ill
comparison with the close knit organiZa
tionS sheltered by the Inns Of Court anC
Law society, we in America seem SO MANY
scattered grains of sand" 1t is difficult
to make one familiar only with the Eng
