CHAPTER 111.
About three o'clock p. m. our Divi-
1st of the 2nd corps, was
ordered to hasten to the relief of our
endangered left wing, We marched
‘‘double quick’ (ran) most of the in-
tervening two miles under a scorching
July sun, and reached the scene of this
terrible, disastrous conflict in the
“Wheat Field” and the rough timber-
ed ridge of “Devils Den,” to the west
of “Little Round Top” and just be-
vond what is known as ‘Death Val-
ley,” by reason of the terrible sacrifice
of men this
day’s battle,
Here our Division swung into line of |
battle about six p. m., relieving a part
of the 3rd corps and were soon very
heavily engaged.
Iu our hurried rush to the field the
columns became somewhat broken, so |
that a large part of our battle lines]

The strange ringing of the steel ram-

rods rang out elearly amid awful
noise of battle, as the guns were “'load- |
ed and fired at will,” giving variety to
the greater tumult.
In the excitement and hurry of bat-

the knapsack of one of our men so
that the contents of crackers and
clothing fell out, while another pin-

The first and third Divisions of the
Fifth Corps, U. 8. Regulars, and one
Brigade of the Third Division of the
Second Corps (ours) about five thou-
saud men algo joined us, and we great-
ly outnumbered the enemy. The bat.
tle became more furious than ever und
we steadily drove the enemy from the
Wheat field into the woods, where our
forward movement was halted.
Here the advantage of position was
greatly on the enemy's side. They
were on high ground, behind trees,
stone fences, and the immense granite
howlders, that thickly strewed the
ground in the woods,
No one, to this day can tell what we
were fightiog for here. We did not
want to reoccupy the ‘Salient’ at the
“Peach Orchard,” by which our posi.
tion would be weakened. We could
not hold it any more now than we
could in the first place. We were or-
dered to fall back slowly, and to keep
up the fight ; we fell back to what is
now known as Death Valley, where
the enemy rushing in, attempted to
cut us off, and a furious fight ensued,
in which we barely held our own,
For nearly two hours we had been
engaged in this whirlpool of death,
and our ammunition was running out,
Night was settling down over this
field of carnage, when we were reliev-
ed by two Divisions of the Sixth Corps,
Heavy fighting wes continued till
nine o'clock p. m., when our lines
were withdrawn to the line of the
Round Tops, where they were firmly
und permavently established by mid-
night, leaving the entire field, with
our dead and badly wounded in the
hands of the enemy,
The fighting here was most desper-
ate and the sacrifice of men appalling.

7/8 THE ROBBERS NN
Notes and Incidents of the Robbery and
the Robbers,
That the robbers had a fifth partner
can not be substantiated, On their
way from Potters Mills to the point
where the quartet cooked their break-
fast the four traveled in pairs, at some
distance apart. Between the two pairs,
for a short distance, there was a fifth
man, but from the best information
gained this man wae a resident of the
vailey or mountain. In corroboration
of this is the fact that there were only
four men in the company who took
breakfast in the mountains beyond
Potters Mills. At no time were there
five men seen together, but at Spring
Mills, Centre Hall and Linden Hall,
along the Fort road, at Potters Mills
and at the breakfast table in the moun-
tains the strangers numbered four.
Another reason to disbelieve that
the men came in touch with a fifth
man to unioad their goods, is the fact
that the whole of their plunder se-
cured in Centre and Union counties
was either found on their person or in
their lair.
The Watchman, last week, says it is
reasonably convinced that the wound-
ed man is James Lewis, who was sent
to the western penitentiary from Will-
ismsport in the fall of 1897 for having
helped William Moore rob the post
at Barnesboro, They were ar-
rested at Lewistown. Moore declared
Lewis was not implicated but he was
sent up for four years and ten months,
consequently was only recently dis-
charged. If the wounded man
is James Lewis, and there is little

gang Moore wes pardoned out of the
Pen by President McKinley.
The above, so far as it relates to the
wounded map, is undoubtedly correct.
Not asiogle line of the Reporter's
Foust stable has been questioned by
any Fhe story of the
floundering of the wounded man after
being hit by a bullet is without foun-
dation, as Is also the story that his
hand clutching a revolver was visible
after he was wounded.

of the hay loft immediately after the
incident, revealed evidences that the

body lay on a line nearly with the

It was Frank Shutt, the blacksmith,
of this place, who dared to approach
the wounded man and snatch the re-
volver from his hand, Mr. Bhutt was
not the first man up the ladder, but he
was the first to realize the actual con-
ditions confronting them, and was the
first to act. The wounded man lay on
his right side, and it was necessary to
reach over his body to secure the
weapon.
The first words spoken by the
wounded man were, “what did you
shoot me for?’ After his head was
raised by his rescuers, he spat out a
mouthful of blood and said, ‘there
goes & part of my liver.” The re

Later he said, “I am shot through

CHEERING WORDS,
Dakota Reader Compliments the
Centre Reporter,
Mandan, Bouth Dakota,
Dear Editor :—The Centre Reporter
reaches us one day earlier than former-
ly, another evidence, 1 suppose, of the
enterprise back of your excellent pa-
per. I have not the pleasure of know-
ing you personally, but I want to
compliment you on the great improve-
ment of the Centre Reporter since it is
published by you. I left your section
about twenty years ago, and have
taken the Reporter ever since for the
home news. Your aim seems to be to
furnish the local news and omitthe
numerous piques and grievances that
appeared before the paper got into
your hands.
Keep on inthe way you began, and
you will win out. I always show
your paper to the Centre county peo-
ple I meet, and the new names I send
you are some of the fruits.
Wm. H. Brown & Co. are doing a
great real estate business here. They
run excursions from Chicago once
each week, and refund the car fare to
purchasers who have made the neces-
sary arrangements. Land can be
bought for from $5.00 to $15.00 ; much
of this is underlaid with coal.
I wish you could see our wheat
fields. This is a fine country and
there are good prospects for a fine crop.
Hoping I will have the pleasure of
meeting you thissummer and wish-
ing you success,
I remain very truly,

The Philadelphia Record,
“The Philadelphia Record,” which
recently observed its twenty-sixth an-
niversary as the pioneer one cent
newspaper of America, claims the
largest circulation of any paper pub-
lished in Pennsylvania, and its claim
is without doubt a just one. The se-
cret of this is not hard to find,
Throughout its entire cdfeer “The
Record’’ has combined a certain spir-
it of conservatism with a progressive
policy, and the result has been a news-
paper that inspires and holds the con-
fidence of its readers.
There is a vast deal of difference be-
tween conservatism and old-fogyism,
“The Record’ is always keen, alert
and up to date, and never allows itself
to become hysterical. The metropoli-
tan journals of today may be enterpris-
ing to the point of sensationalism, and
in the existing spirit of rivalry may
often overstep the bounds of decorum
and good taste ; but in this respect
“The Philadelphia Record” is not a
sinner, It is alwayssane, always tem-
perate, always satisfying. Without
half the fuss and feathers of some of
its contemporaries, it is not to be gain-
said.
It is this authoritative confidence in%
itself that has wrought confidence in
the general public and has been instru-
mental in establishing its prestige.
“Let us see what ‘The Record’ says
about it,”’ is a remark of frequent oc-
currence ; and what “The Record”
says is usually regarded as final and
incontrovertible. The newspaper is
still largely a moulder of publie opin-
fon, in spite of the theorists, and while
the confidence of the public may be
shaken in some phases of modern jour-
nalism, that class of which “The Phil-
sdelphia Record’ isa fine type still
survives, and will continue to survive
for good. We could ill afford to spare
any of them, least of all “The Record.”
A long and prosperous life to Pennayl-
vania's leading newspaper.
