DASHING RAIDS AND BLOODY FIGHTS | The Cannonade at Sumter—Johnston's Judement—Couldn’t Stand the febel Flag—A Brave woldier. William W. Caine, one of the eatly | gettlers of Kansas, now a resident of Witoka, Minn,, has written the follow- ing aceonat of his career, at the request of the Kansas State Historical socicty, appearing in the eolumns of the Winona Republican. 1T was born in_ Boston, Mauss., August 2,1837; emigrated to Wis- consin n 1851 ayed there until Soptember 28, 1 t Kansus, I arrived on the Pottawatomie creck about November 10, 1855, and a fow days later went to Osawatomie. One afterncon a_few days later 1 was invited to Rev. Mr. Finch's hoase, and there found S. N. Wood and a man with him by the name of Allen. They were after help for Lawrence, which they said was threatencd by Mis- gourians. After some talk they re- quested me to go up the creek to William Partridge's, ten miles dis- tant, and see il there could be any help obtained from those pavts. I started on foot right away and got to Partridge’s late in the evening. Part- ridge rallied some of the neighbors, among whom were H. H. Williams, Reynolds, Coughran and others, and we reached Lawronce the next evening, and there organized our company. While in Lawrcnee 1 spent my time 1n sconting toward Lecompton and Franklin and eating mush and molasses from the cauldron kettles in front of the I State hotel. I stood three guard duties outside of Lawrence on the Wakarusa road, and remained around there until we dishanded, when I returned to Osa- watomie and lived in one ot O. C. Brown's houses with the family of Aibe Sanborn, with whom I came from W consin. Attended the free state convention and voted for the Topeka constitution at Osawatomie in Januavy, 1836, Soon after T jumped part of Duteh Pete Sh man's claim, about four miles southwest of Osawatomie. He gotout a warrant ugainst me for assault with intent to kill. Before going to jump Pet’s elaim we organized a free state company of volunteers called Marion rifles. I was elected sargeant. Was present with John Brown, jr., in breaking up Judge Cato’s court at Dutch Henry's house. [ went up in May with Captain Dayton’ company from Osawatomic to Palmyra on the Santa Fe rond and joined ( tains Brown's and Shore's compani with whom I remained uutil the news of Dutch Henry's massacre, when our com- panies returned home. A Bold Move. Soon after Dr. Updegrafl, one of thoe committee of safety of Osawatomic, wanted me to go about thirty or- forty miles up the creck and capture some powder and lead that were left there by a proslavery orekeeper named Kodgers, from Baltimore, for the pro- slavery party. Myself and Bainbridge Fuller got Rev. Adair’s horse and buggy, went up and got some sixty pounds of powder and about the same amount of lead, returning safely. Mot four proslavery men going afier the lead and powder. They found none, and on their return a warrant was issued for my arrest. Things were growing a little too hot for me, so 1 dodged them for the rest of the weck and Saturday night straddled one of my pursuers’ horses and with a boy named William Broadwell, from, Ohio, skipped for Lawrence, Sunday afternoon we arrived at old man Brown's famous camp in Hickory point. Found Brown's boys, Charles Lenhart and Jim Redpath, there. We were piloted in by by the elder Carpenter brother and the next day started for Lawrence. When just passing through the woods on the south side of the Wakarusa we ran into Higgins and his crew, who were return- ing from Lecompton to testify against John Brown, jr., and others for treason. Phey knew us and passed jokes about our horses. We went on to Lawrence and they south. We stopped in Law- vence about an hour, mounted and started south; passed Higgins and crew at Indian Jones' about 1 p. m.; rode out on the praivie about five miles and camped for the night. Next morning we went to William Partriige's and stayed there all day. Higgins went to Osawatomio and reported, and Captain 'Wood starfed part of his com- pany of United States troops in pursuit of us to Lawrence. That evening we were joined by Jack Baxter and Sum Kilborn, and in'a raid of twelve miles up the ¢ saddles s and some arms, We passed as 1. C. Hate's company of Westport, Mo.; Baxter as Captain Pate and [ as Lioutenant Everhard. We were wet as deliverer: to the best. We receipted for all prop- erty, to be returned in ten days on pres- entation of r well unt:l about 2 a. m., when we visited Dutch Henry's, where a man named Buker hud two large gray horses. We did not stop to pass as Pate’s company heve. We found the horses, and I was searching for saddles und bridles in the log hovels, when I grabbed Dutch Pete by the nose. He jumped up yelling murder, and ran down in the woods, where thero were forty Ala- bamians in camp. 1 jumped out of the hovel, and Baker came for me. We lilu_yud hide and scck, each armed, till Buker was reinforced by the Alabam- funs, when Ibroke for my horses, and the other three did the same. | was the last, and Baker sent a shot through my left foot. We reached Lawrence o m.{s later, where 1 hud my foot dressod., Mr, Caine then goes on to describe his exporience when the move was made to protect the legislature at Topeku in July, his capture by Lieutenant Per- kins and trip to Lecompton, where he was turned over to Captain Sturgis, at whose camp Governor Robinson and other distinguished free state men were then prisoners. He was re- leased July 4 and went to Lawrence where he remainea until Abbott’s com- pany got back from Topeks and went with them to Coal creek. One day he was summoned to meet Dr, Updegrafl, and carried dispatches from him to the committee of safety at Lawrence, He scouted Captain McCrackin and Preacher Stewart’s company to Osawut- omie, attacked New Goorgla and des- troyed it. ‘‘This was a hard week's drive, as I was in the saddle from Mon- day morning till Saturday morning, with scarcely a wink of sleep and not much to eat, but excitement kept me W, d Sumter's ¥ ¢ Gun, Every year or two the confederates fight the battle over again in the press 8% to who pulled the lanyard on that “shot heard round the world.” And now comes & claimant for the honor of hay- ing touched off the first union gun in that wmemorable artillery duel.

This unwillingness refusal to make the sup- ta ubsequent critical epoch of career. 1t is well known that Johnston brought up his force from Winchester in time to join Beauregard on the eve of the battle of Bull Run. The author of this book contends that figures demonstrate which of the two generals made the larger contribution to the confederate success. A\,n analysis of the confederate casual- ties hows that Johnston's army lost 15 per_eont of those actually engaged, while Beauregard’s army lost 7 per cent. It is a historical fact that ail of John: stow’s troops who reached Manassas, e» cept one regiment, took part in the battle, and equally true that less than one-hall of Beauregard’s were in posi- tion to be available, For the failure of the confederate army to pursue the fed- erals after the battle of Bull Run, John- ston never hesitated to assume his share of the responsibility, though in- sisting that the course pursued was proper, and the only practicable one uuder the circumstances.

A hundred years ago the unfortunate people who camegnto the hands of the | surgeons, generally soldiers or sailors who had been hurt in action, were forced to undergo tiie operation necessary to the prolongation of life without taking ether or chloroform, as is now adminis- tered to make the patient unconscious, and so free from pain attendant upon the operation. To secure quiet often the subject had to be bound by 1 that much as he may desire to wince he was utterly unable to do so. Oceasion- ally patients would show remarkable fortitu at the crisis of their troubles, but none ever showed more than a soldior, who, on the morning after the battle of Yorktown (October 81), was brought into the hospital, having been shot in the knce. It was found necessary to amputate the limb, and the surgeon ordered the nurses to bind the man fast preparatory to the operation, evor!” protested the soldier. “You may tear my heart from my breast, but you shull not bind me! Can you get me a fiddle?” His request was complied with, and he proceeded to tune the instrument, after which he said: “So, doctor, now you can begin.” And he played during the whole of the operation, which lasted forty minutes, without uttering a single false note or disturbing his features in the slightest. g ONCE A GREAT LAKE. pes, 50 Dry Land in Utah Now Ocenpiett by One Hunared Towns and Villnges, It was very early known (indeed cording to & writer in the Secienti American, the early settlers could see it) that there had at one time beon a great lake on the site of the present salt lake and desert in Utah. The early ex- plorers noted the presence of terrac flat topped and often of remarkably uni- form height, which they knew to be water-formed. There were bars, also, across the mouths of side streams and splits, wave-cut cliffs at headlands, and, indeed, all tne phenomena of lake shores along these terraces. Notonly is ther ne terrace, but several, which mark changes in the level of the lake. Every tourist to Salt Lake City must have no- ticed the flat beaches clinging to the mountain sides and have marked the flat desert tract in which the great salt lake situated, and, perhaps, have wondered what it means. They may have noticed the small mountain peaks sing from the great de ke islands in the sea. These were once islands, and now they rise out of the lake sedi- ments in which they are partly buried. When Lake Bonneville was full of water to overflowing it had u surface of 19,750 square miles—a magnitude rank- ing with the great lakes. Its maximum depth was 1,050 feet. If the water were to rise again to its old mark more than 100 towns and villages would be submerged and 120,000 persons would be driven from their homes, The Mormon temple would stand in 850 feet of water and 700 miles of railroad would be im- mersed. The history of the lake is even more complicated than has been indi- cated. There is evidence thatlong be- fore the existence of the overflowing lake the site was practically dry and arid, The water afterward rose, but not to its rim, and then another change. in rred and aridity again set in and the lake basin became nearly, if se occurred period of high water the great basin has been the seat of considerable voleanic activity. At times the lava has flowed on the margin of the lak i entered the water, and volcanic erup- e, again it has tions have occurred even in the lake it- self. At present all voleanic activity seems to have ceased, though some of the lava has been erupted in very recent times. Not only has the level of the water changed, but even the level of the land has suffered a change since the water sank below the terrace levels, Lako beacnes ave, of course, all formed in a horizontal position, and normally they should be at the same level in every part. But some of the terraces of Lake Bonneville are disturbed by fault- ing and folding, and are no longer level, These changes may possibly be associ- ated with the voleanic eruptions, S Can't Miss a Ruttlesnake, The writer suw an Indian kill a rattle- snake ina very peculiar munner vecently. says the Carson Appeal. The rattler was about ten feet from the Indian, who was resting the rifle on his knee, ap- parently taking aim. Whenever he moved the weapon a few inches the snake would move around and get exactly 1n line with it. Then to show how the thing was done the Indian moved about the snake in a circle, and the reptile moved as if his tail was a pivot, always keeping his head and body in line with the gun. The Indian then agreed to bandage his eyes and shoot the snake in the mouth. The writer bandaged the Indian’s eyes and, holding the gun by his side at arin's length, the latter pulled the triggerand the ball éntered the snake'’s mouth and passed the whole length of his body. “How did you take aim?” was the quer l"Thc snake hedake aim,” was the re- Py, We have talked with an old hunter on this proposition, and he claims that a rattlesnake will always range divectly in line with a gun or stick pointed at 1t. S — She Oan Be Seen, A great many native American girls from the back districts of Maine are now being employed as servants in Boston. and their “greenness” sometimes brings about amusing situations. Recently u lady called at a Beacon street house where one of these girls was employed, and rang the bell. Samantha Wayback answered the call, “Can Mrs, Croegus be seen?” the visitor asked, ‘‘Ken she be seen?” snickered Samantha. ‘‘Well, Truther guess she ken; she's six feet high and four wide!

This caution, howeve prevented London from buying our bonds, about one million in amount of which were taken on Wednesduy, Those transactions, however, represent the investment demand rather than the speduiative; and, to that ex- tent, they are adegitimate expression of the improvement of foreign confidence in our in- vestments arising from repeal.
