capture. The knell Of doom seem
ed about to sound for the Rebel
lion.
Evening drew near. Tired and
hungry we made our way to some
woods near the creek, supposing
we were some distance beyond the
left flank of the Union lines. We
ate some bread and cheese we had
and went to sleep under a low
branchcd tree.
We awoke at daybreak to the
sound of artillery some distance
to the northWard, probably about
three miles. This sWelled to a deaf
ening roar. With it came the crash
of volleys of musketry. During the
next fourteen hours there was lit
tie abatement of the volume of
battle sounds. Not even at Gettys-
burg was this exceeded.
Now we became aware of mass
es of Union troops in the woods
behind us. We made our way to
the edge OF the woods and there
looked down a slope of cleared
ground with a narrow level bottom
along the creek. Below us a solid
masonry three arch bridge span
ned the stream. On the other side
was a steep bluff fifteen feet high,
wooded along the top. Rebel rifle
men posted there were in a near
impregnable position in which ten
men might we'll hold off a COM
pany. Half a mile northward on
high ground near the village two
Confederate batteries we're in po-
sition with an unobstructed range
of fire at both ends of the bridge.
At this end of the lines an artillery
duel continued throughout the
morning during which two enemy
caissons were blown up by direct
hits. Not far from us were several
Union officers, two wearing the
stars of generals. Another heavily
built, barrel-chested man wore
colonePs insignia. The generals
were scanning the Rebel positions
intently through binoculars, focus
ing them on the bridge, the rifle
men posted above it, and in par
ticular on the eight enemy artil-
lery pieces near the village.
Then they engaged the colonel
in earnest conversation during
long minutes. All now walked back
into the woods. Later we learned
that the colonel was George Crook;
the others were Generals Cox and
Burnside. The latter's name was
after that day to be given the
bridge; as long as it endures it
will be known as the Burnside
Soon a half company of Skin
ran down to the stream
side and crouched behind a low
stone wall near the bridge head.
We heard shouted commands and
the first big column, Crooks bri-
gade, got into motion, moving rap
idly out Of the woods, down the
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1959-05-21

Toward the middle of Septem-
Der of 1852 l lived on a farm near
townsville, Maryland, about mid
way between Williamsport and
Sharpsburg. Everybody knew of
the smashing Confederate victory
in the Second Battle Of Bull Run
in late August. All feared an in
vasion of the North by the trium-
plant Rebels, which indeed came
to pass.
Much anxiety and excitement
prevailed throughout the country
side. Rumors as to the movements
of the contending armies came
thick and fast Nina out of ten
were groundless but all we're
alarming. Soon we had reliable
news of the Confederates crossing
the Potomac and marching into
Frederick. On September 18th a
large force of them passed our
farm marching rapidly toward Will
Transport In few days we under
stood the meaning of this; Stone
wall Jackson was on his way to

When the famous soldier. Major
General George Crook, died sud-
denly in Chicago in March of 1890
his remains were brought to Oak
land and inferred, but six months
later were removed to the Nation
al Cemetery at Arlington
At Chicago the services were at
tended by many notables, civilians
and military, including an ex-
President of the United States.
Rutherford B. Hayes. From Wash
ington and elsewhere came many
others to Oakland to pay a last
tribute of respect, a future Presi-
dent among them, the Hon. Will
liam Mckinley, then a member of
Congress from Ohio.
Both eminent statesmen had
been longtime friends and former
companions-in-arms of the dead
chieftain. They had served with
Ohio regiments of the KanaWha
Division during the Maryland cam
paign of 1862, Crook commanding
one of the divisions two brigades
In 1890 many Civil War veterans
lived in Garrett County. My father,
William Lewis Leary, was one of
a squad chosen from among them
to fire the last salute over the
Generals grave.
After the funeral Mr.. Mckinley
exchanged "reminiscences with the
local old soldiers. In particular the
conversation turned on the Battle
of Antietam, fought on Maryland
soil. A number of the men had
been present at that desperate and
sanguinary struggle.
At home that evea:ng my father
recounted to members of his fam
lily the circumstances under which
he had first seen the then Colonel
Crook in action. The funeral and
comradely chat with surviving vet
Grams had evoked in him a remin-
iscent mood, recalling events he
had taken part in or had witnessed
a quarter of a century earlier. I
set down his narrative to the best
of my recollection and that of my
sisters.
We were very young then but
the impressions of childhood are
sharply etched in ones memory,
more so than are those of mature
years.

STORES ARE BURGLED

A second break-in inside of three weeks was reported by Cavota's Store Tuesday morning.
 The burglar entered by way of the front door, first breaking the glass in the outside door and then reaching in and unlocking the door, and opening the inside door in the same manner.
 The cash register was found up side down on the floor, but the burglar apparently was unable to open it, however, it was empty anyhow.
 MT. Cavota says he doesn't know for sure exactly how much merchandise was taken this time.
 About three weeks ago, thieves entered the store by way of rear window and that time the intruder cut his hand, because he left blood stains on the win dow frame and on the store floor. It was not determined then how much merchandise was taken.
 Another break-in was made at the City Fuel and Transfer Office on Third Ave a week ago when a window was forced and about $50 in silver was taken.
 Federal and city police are working on the cases but as yet no arrests have been made.

Eskimo Relics Found At Fox Bar In KougarOk

Otto Wihl, Kougarok miner, is in town, enroute outside" after mining all summer on his ground near Fox Bar.
 Otto brought in a small box full of Eskimo relics which he dug up in his garden patch. He estimates the bone and stone pieces to be about 5GO years old.
 He said his garden apparently is on the site of an old Eskimo village and that he has found sev- eral old graves but that he had not disturbed them. e
 The relics include a stone axe, pieces of what appear to be stone cooking utensils, bone spear points, a carved bone pick, and other items. There are only Sev- eral bits of ivory, one of which appears to be an "ooloo'' handle.

ASTRONOMY NOTES
 By OLAF HALVERSON

A very interesting grouping of the planets is in evidence at the present time. Within range of 50 degrees on either side of the sun we now have all of the planets: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Nep- tune
 The grouping of the planets at tkis time of the year about their stellar star, the sun, makes a real home coming in the skies. It re- minds us of the home comings at the colleges and universities that will soon occur The combined gravitational attractions of all these heavenly bodies in the same direction often times brings about reactions on the earth.
 At this time, we can predict the location of planets months ahead. Our Christmas star this year will be the planet Venus. It will be shining in the east about 36 de- grees above the eastern horizon at sunrise.
