(iun Iii A Tree.
Peter Loven is well known In this
county. He was in our company. A
laughable incident befell him, one
which almost became a fatal calam
ity. Fort Clifton was playing ball
with us without any knockers (as
their balls were too heavy and rot
ten). While Peter Loven was walk
ing along with his gun ln his left
hand, and his haversack on, with his
other equipments, a canon ball struck
his gun and knocked it in a tree, and
twisted the barrel around a limb, and
it was hanging there the last we saw
it. This ball also cut off his haver
sack and knocked Peter down.
When Peter was helped up he looked
dazed, and saw his gun was no more
use to him, unless It was to shoot
around a barn. He said: "I gess I
will have to go to a hospital." We
could not help smiling. We knew it
injured him, as we worked for his
pension on that very casualty.
