The story was told me 30 Or more years ago, and | have forgot ten Lhe details. | remember, however, that a member of Company B sald that on the night of February 14, 1863 the tent of the noncommissioned officers was struck by lightning “Two of the men in the killed by the bolt ané four others were disabled The lightning in fact, caused as much commotion in camp as an at- tack by the enemy, and there were all sorts of rumors as to the sensations of those who recovered from the shock The question of Interest now is, were any of those struck by light ning permanently disabled, and {f so, did they have as many queer experi ences as men disabled by wounds? The records show that a good many soldiers were injured by lightning dur ing the war. What became of them? ‘Twenty years ago a Twenty third Illinois man told me the story of a man severely wounded at the battle of Lexington, Mo, which that story of the Checkess battery’ reminded me of. This comrade of the Twenty-third Illinois was severely wounded . early n the day. He remained in the works, trad strength and opportunity. In the afternoon the confederates opened a furious fire on the unlon works and the men on the firing line were ordered to move out of the way so that the little six-pounder on the advance line could open on the tent were ‘All got out of the way except tne wounded man, who was not able to move far enough to escape the suc tion of the wind after each discharge. The result was that before the other men realized what was going on the muscles were shredded from the wounded man's arm above the elbow poor fellow made no protest or complaint and was not rescued from his trying situation until the gun had been discharged several times Now I would like to know what became of that man.” ‘One of the regiments in that bat. tle of Lexington” said the captain, “had been in service not more than a hundred days, but the men fought like veterans. It is true they were informal and Irregular at times, but they stood by thelr guns For ex ample, there was a little Dutchman of company A, First lllinols cavalry, who on the third day, after all the men who had manned the six-pounder had been shot, swabbed, loaded and fired the gun himself. He was precision itself and as unexcited as if on drill After the white flag had been or dered up for the third time by the commander of the home guards, and had been taken down as often by in {ignant men, most of the boys fo our part of the works In front of the hos pital cut out for the main works around the college. E. A. Jellison, however, remained with the little Dutchman and his six-pouncer, firing his old musket as rapidly as circum tances would permit. After firing all his own cartridges and all that he could flue in the cartridge boxes of the dead within his reach, Jellison tied a handkerchief to his ramrod and went over to the movable hemp bale breastworks of Gen. Rains con federate commander of the lovesting fore . “Jelil himself Mulligan ready to that he {son was received by Gen who asked eagerly if Col bad surrenuvied or was surrender Jelllson replied didn't know, he dida’'t come Mulligan, and couldn't speak him He represented only himself, as he was out of ammunition and was occupying an exposed pos! tion he was ready to surrender Scarcely poticing the explanation, Rains out a formal demand for the susrender of the union forces and sent it to Col. Mulligan by Jell} son “The latter delivered the message to Mulligan, secured another gun and more ammunition, and agalo opened on the johunles. In later days Jellison admitted this was very Irregular, but he contended that Gen. Rains did oot Rains for wrote take his parole, did not even ask him to return. So he felt free, after he had Aelivered Rains’ message to Mul ligan, to resume business at the old stand He always insisted that Rains didn't know any more about the et! quette of the occasion than the little Dutchman did, or than Jellison him- self did. “Those movable breastworki hemp bales used by the of confederates to most of our men. ‘i ue confederates pushed them forward, throwing wa ter on them to prevent them tak ing fire when struck by shells, there was a belief in the ranks that nothing could stop such an advance Mulligan himself depressed by the wel hemp more than he was by the en emy's guns, Therefore the coolness of the 30 or 40 men who had charged over the hemp bales and had been driven Lack was the more remark: able 1 uave often asked for the name Httle Dutchman who stuck to the six pounder to the last.
