The Austin Ministerial Asso
ciation has memorialized the
Federal authorities to keep
Corbett and Fitzsimmons out of
f lie Indian Territory, claiming
that their presence there with
t heir- horde of gamblers and
harlots would contaminate the
morals of the Indians and as
wards of the Federal govern
ment they should be protected
from all such. Another case of
missionaries going abroad when

The figures handed down doubt

rig, thus swelling the loss. In the
numbers given fo. the civil war only
tilt known killed and wound
ed are include 1 in : he afcotuie. To
bo exact, then, Stone Uiver, Chica
mauga, Antietam, Gettysburg ad
Shiloh must be consider--: the
bloodiest battles of the century.
The war invested certain regions
with memories that neerfad". The
veterans with their descendants and
relatives who take, pride in the
achievements of their kindred hae
made pilgrimages to the scenes j
hallowed by the clash of arms, and !

tlie westei u limit on a line i
drawn through Lvnchhiirg, and the !

district, about loO miles broad and j
miies long, occurred thirteen j
battles where the loss ir. killed nil'- !
right numbered oyer 10(1,000. and
the aggregate ol killed and wound
ed was over 200.00O. It. the le-., r
engagements and in the siege oper

numbered with the casualties.
Here weT" fought the desperate
struggles of Gettysburg, Autietam,
