"Provisions for Secesh, and my husband a colonel in the Union Army. You get out of here!" She reached for a hickory hoop-pole that stood by the door, and the army moved on. When they reached the home of Col. Bill Splawn it was night and the family had gone to bed. So the hungry army camped in the barn-yard and crept into the hay-loft to sleep. Presently somebody yelled "Fire!"
They helped him in, then, for his ankle was swelling badly. In the morning, Colonel Splawn gave the army a good breakfast, and it moved on. Lieutenant Clemens, however, did not get farther than Farmer Nuck Matson's. He was in a high fever by that time from his injured ankle, and Mrs. Matson put him to bed. So the army left him, and presently disbanded.
Bill Splawn and Farmer Nuck Matson a requisition for supplies that would convert this body of infantry into cavalry rough-riders of that early day. The community did not wish to keep an army on its hands, and were willing to send it along by such means as they could spare handily.
