Three years ago, wiien my dear husband was sick in his last illness, I lifted him and hurt myself. I felt the strain, then I felt something give way inside. Afterwards I found it was my womb, and I suffered the most dreadful agonies from falling of the womb. I began dressmaking, but could not do my work for pain and nervousness. Trying to pit still and sew seemed to drive me nearly crazy, and I did not seem able to get any help from doctors or medicine. I was so unstrung and nervous I hardly dared to go out in the street, for fear 1 would not get home safely. It would make me scream to see a car coming even, and 1 was so terribly run down I did not know what would happen. " A friend suggested I take Lydla 13.

Marshall Was in Custer's Com mand and in Tom Custer's Company- -Hov he Escaped the General Massacre in the Performance of Duty, There M now in CUarbAU', nww ing Fl'.ral Court, fxart'imt l.iU' iel KaniiH', formerly f tho United States Cavalry, Mr, Kanijio Ua hetn in the service of Uncle Sain, for near ly 33 years. He enlisted in the army in 1872 and served 10 years, after which he was deputy collector of revenue for a number of years, until recently when he was appoint ed deputy United States marshal. His home is in Marion, N. C, where he has lived ever since leaving the army. When a boy of eighteen he became anxious to be a soldier, and tried to enlist in the United States company of cavalry which was sta tioned near his home in McDowell county, but being under age his ap plication was refused. He says that he came by his de sire to be a soldier naturally, as he had two brothers and his father in the Confederate army. About a year after his first attempt to enter' the army he ran off from home and went down to Lincointon where, telling the officer in charge that he was twenty- one, he enlisted and began his career as a soldier. After four years -of servic.e during which he was in a number of expeditions against the Indians, his company, which was one of the twelve in tho regiment of the Seventh Cavalry was sent under the command of "General Terrv into Da kota against tho Sioux Indians. Gem. Custer was in command of the regi ment and his brother. Tom Custer, was captain of "C" troon in which Kanipe was a sergeant. The following is tnc story or Gen. Custer's last fight as told by Mr. Kanipe. Tho story is worth walking many miles to hear in tho original, and it is a pity that it .could not be portrayed to our readers as our hero told it, but that would require many things not included in the English language. The story goes something like this: "Wo left (jut camp on the 17th day of May, 1876, and marched tip the Yellowstone to the ' mouth of the Powder river, where we h-ft our ba age train with clx of the companies. Tho other fdx. which included tn.v company, drew ten duy'n ration iind went out on a ten day' wont. Wo went up the Powder river mid ih'-n crofiHfld over the divide nwi then acroKH the Tongue river and then io tho IloHohud river and then down thin river to tho mouth. We IImu went down the Yellowstone f j f J we met the otner companies and returned with them up to tho mouth of tlio Hosebud. Hero Gen, Cu&lcr divided Jus regl- ment.

Ho my company was one of the (iv, and I ilM Uu only man Jiving out of thos? live com panies, for if any one of them got away from Custer's camp the Indians caught him and lulled him. Of course, I was a man in the ranks. I did not know what was going to be done. Wo marched up the Rosebud all clay of the twenty second and then struck the Indian trail and followed it. On the night of the 23rd a seargent found that he had dropped his box of hard tack, so he set permission to go back and get it. He went back a good dis tnce and found the box of hard tack with two Indians on it helping them selves. The Indians jumped on their ponies and got away. This was the first time we had seen any Indians. "The next day we came upon an In dian camp with just one tepee. Gen. Custer ordered it burned and this signal brought Maj. Reino across the divide; he marched with ns for a while and then took his three com panies and went back again. We m.archr'a allthat day and way into the night. The next morning we changed our course and turned to our right and marched a good ways. After a while we saw some bluffs a good way off, and on the other side of these bluffs was (he- Dig Horn river. When we. got cio:,o enough to them to see1 anything. I sighted some Indians, I said to the man next to me "Look at those Indians." Wo changed our line of march again ami turned back to our right at an accutc angle and marched along by the bluffs. After a while we got to a place where we could climb up easily, so we went up. Of course there were no Indians when we reached the top. I stood there looking out over the country for a while. I could sea the dust from the wagon train in charge of f 'apt. McDougal, and Deino'g men marching in the valley and over on the other side across the river was the Indian camp. The braves had hrought (hejr squaws and pappooses with them.

In tolling, his story lie did not beast nor did he seem diffident about telling it but went straight ahead in his simple way and seemed as much interested in his listener as his listener was in him. It is probable that he could also tell seme god tales of moonshiners and secret stills lor he said that he had broken up o.1 helped to break up about MOO but they could hardly prove as interesting as this story which is an account of one of the most celebrated Indian fights from a noncommissioned officer's point of view.
