He saw my perplexity about the jacket, glanced up at the torn colors, and pointed to a figure just beyond him dressed in a short, faded jacket. "No. 4" had been selected, as the highest honor, to carry the old colors which he had once saved; and not to bear off all the honors from his friend, he had with true comradeship made Binford Terrell wear his cherished jacket.
Thaine Aydelot and his comrades threw themselves down, too exhausted to care for what might happen next. "This is the hottest day I ever knew," declared McLearn wearily, as he lay prone on the ground looking up at the hot sky with unblinking eyes. "I reckon you never hit the National pike on an August day, out between Green Castle and Terre Haute down in Indianny," Binford suggested. "Nor St.
I am able to remember the names of the first teachers in the Quaker school; J.H. Binford was the principal and his sister taught the primary department. I was about 11 years old when peace came and was living with my mother and the other children on the Badgett plantation about 7 miles east of Little Rock. Mother did laundry and general house work.
After being shot, Binford sprang upon J. with the fury of a wounded tiger, and would have taken his life but for a second shot received through the back from Bartin James, the brother of Thomas. Even after he received the last fatal wound he struggled with his antagonist until death relaxed his grasp, and he fell with the horrid exclamation, 'I am a dead man!
"Judge James gave himself up to the authorities; and when the informant of the editor left Clinton, Binford, and the unfortunate stranger lay shrouded corpses together." The "N.O. Bee" thus gives the conclusion of the matter: "Judge James was tried and acquitted, the death of Binford being regarded as an act of justifiable homicide." From the "Flemingsburg Kentuckian," June 23,'38.
He remembered how big Schwoebel, and Tasker, and Binford, Goodrich, and McLearn, with himself and another man whom he recalled afterward as Boehringer, a Kansas man, had clubbed self-respect into a few of them and kicked the other whining cowards from their way.
AFFRAY. Thomas Binford, of Hickman county, Kentucky, recently attacked a Mr. Gardner of Dresden, with a drawn knife, and cut his face pretty badly. Gardner picked up a piece of iron and gave him a side-wipe above the ear that brought him to terms. The skull was fractured about two inches. Binford's brother was killed at Clinton, Kentucky, last fall by Judge James.
James remarked, in a jest as Binford thought, that if she was in the place of her husband she would resign her seat in the Senate, and not serve with such a character. B. told her that she was a woman, and could say what she pleased. She replied that she was not in earnest.
Pearson was pierced through by a musket ball as he was hurrying through the woods, and fell heavily to the ground. Binford was severely wounded, but managed to escape. Hamilton was killed outright.
All this before we have time to change collars again. We'll let you or Tasker here lead into Peking," an Indiana University man declared. "That's good of you, Binford. Some Kansas man will be first to carry the flag into Peking. It might as well be Aydelot." This from Tasker, a slender young fellow from a Kansas railroad office. So they joked as they tramped along.
