I BOUT the middle of

August. 1S62. Company K of the One hundred and fifth Pennsylvania volunteers, known as the "BucktaU" regiment, of which I was a private.

was detailed as

bodyguard of President Lincoln and continued In that ca parity until his assassination in the spring of lvS63. During the three years of my stay In Washington, the most critical period of the nation's history. I saw and heard many things that have never found their way Into the public prints Some of tho bodj-guard were constantly with the president and hl3 family, whether at fashionable leiees. receptions to foreign legations or private interviews. At all such fu nctfnnct

we were silent spectators of all that took place. We were always treated with the highest respect by the Lincoln faml!y. who regarded us as a part of the household. Every private of the guard received the same attentisns of courtesy as the most famous statesman or diplomat at the capital. We all formed a strong personal attachment for the president and when tho grand old man laid do:n hla life In behalf of the cause that had been tils life work we felt as If we had lost the dearest friend we ever had. During the first two years of our term of service the most rigid discipline was enforced. Sometimes we would be ordered to use extraordinary vigilance and to let no one enter the grounds of the White House without the proper passes and to be very particular as to who approached the president. Often the order would come for U?e guards on duty to be doubled. It was seldom that he knew tho direct cause of these extra precautions, but we supposed that the officers of tne secret service were in possession of Information of some plot that brooded harm to the president Up to 1S64. owing to our vigilance and the protecting hand of Providence, our beloved chief had escaped the hand of vlolonce. The back of the confederacy was broken, a good feeling pervaded all Washington and consequently the strict watchfulness that had prevailed grew Into laxity. This was the fatal period, for It was at this time that conspiracies were hatched and confederates overran the city, comparatively unmolested. The president and family spent the summer at the soldier's home, situated about three miles north of the city, and thither tho bodyguard always accompanied them. It was in the summer of 1S64. while we were up at the home, that an incident happened that came very near culminating In Just such an awful tragedy as followed only a few months later at Ford's theater. It was the custom of the president to remain late at the war department when anything of great Importance was happening In the army, consulting with the secretary of war and transmitting and receiving dispatches, and after his work was finished he would ride out to the soldiers' home. That summer he had persistently refused an escort. Imagining himself perfectly secure One night about the middle of August I was doing nentry duty nt the large gato through which entrance was had Into the grounds at the home. The place is situated about a quarter of a mile off the Ulndensburg road and Is reached by a devloua driveway. About one o'clock 1 heard a rifle shot In the direction of the city and shortly afterward 'ould hear approaching hoofbeats. In two or three minutes the horse came near enough so that In the dim moonlight I recognized the rldei aa the belated president. The horse, a

very spirited one. belonging to Lnmon. the marshal of the District of Columbia, was Mr. Lincoln's favorite saddle animal and when he was in the White House stables he always chose him. As horse and rider npproached the gato I noticed that the president was

bareheaded. After I had assslted him In chocking bis steed the president said to me: "He came pretty near getting away with me, dldn t he? He took the bit In his teeth beforo I could draw the reins." I then asked him whore his hat was and he replied that somebody had fired a gun off down at tho foot of the hill, which scared his horse, and the lurch of the animal toppled his hat off. I led the horso to the cottage where the president and his family was staying. There he dismounted and went In. Thinking the proceeding a little strange, a corporal and I started In the direction from which the report of the gun hnd been heard, to Investigate When wo came to tho place whe-re the driveway meets the main road we found the president's hat a plain silk hat and on examining it found a bullet holo through tho corner of the crown. The shot had been fired upward and It waa evident that the person who had fired It had secreted himself close to tho roadside. Wo listened and searched tho locality thoroughly, but to no avail Tho next day I gave Mr. Lincoln his hat and called his attention to the bullet hole. He unconcernedly remarked that it was put there by some foolish gunner and was not Intended for him. Ho said, however, that he wanted tho matter kept quiet and admonished us to say nothing about It Tho next fall, after we had taken up our winter quarters at the White House, a conspiracy to kHnap the president waa unknowingly frustrated by us. Had the truth of the affair lenked out at the time It doubtless would have created great excitement Our quarters wero Immediately In front of the south porch of the Executive Manslon, a position which placed us at about equal distance from tho treasury building on the east and the war and ncvy building on the west. For reasons at the time unknown to us wa were ordered to move our guard tent and plnco It at the west end of tho gravel walk, directly in tho rear of tho war department. Whllo wo stayed thero nothing occurred to arouse susplcion. Shortly afterward we learned, however, that on tho very night after we had moved the tent the confederates had a plan laid to enpturo tho president. Tho conspirators were to hldo In the shrubbery and when tho president came along

San Joaquin Valley, California A cow and an acre of alfalfa will earn $120 a year in the San Joaquin Valley. Grarn-s wjll ju-ld from 100 to $.500 per acrr; peaches and apricots, $150 to $500; while oranges will produce from to $500. and in many instances more than $1000 an aero. There are ten million arable and irrigable acres here. You still, may bay unimproved land for $50 an acte. Ten acres are enough to comfortably support a small family. Twenty acres afford a fine living, with money m the bank. Forty acres should make you rich.

tho walk they wero to seize, gag and carry him across the river into Virginia. Thenco ho was to be taken to Richmond or some other confederate stronghold, where he was to bo held as a hostage. The members of the bodyguard always supposed that the conspirators wero frightened away when they saw our guard tent and abandoned the plan of kidnapping. Not long after the attempted kidnapping another episode took place, which afterward was found to have been planned by a band of assassins who made their headquarters In the city. Bourko, tho veteran coachman, who had served at tho White House through Pierce's and Buchanan's administrations and thus far Into Lincoln's, was taken sick nnd compelled to be off duty. Immediately a stranger, who represented himsolf as an experienced coachman from Baltimore, applied at tho White House and was employed as coachman. From the first ho was domineering and after a few weeks became so Important that he was discharged and Bourko reinstated. One night shortly afterward, Just about dusk, tho discharged coachman was seen sneaking around tho stables by some of the guard. The stables had been locked for the night nnd It was not supposed that he could do any damago and consequently tho men who saw him did not go to the stnbleB. Presently the wholo Interior of the barns was found to bo on fire. The guard was called out and by dint of great exertion we saved tho president's coach and team, but Tad Lincoln's ponies and Col. Hay's carrlago team perished In tho flames. The plan was to havo this man flro the stables and thus to distract our attention. During the excitement some of the conspirators wero ready to rush Into the White Houso and murder the president, but Instead of remaining In tho house .Mr. Lincoln ran out among us and thus in nil probability frustrated another attempt at assassination.

What makes this appear more likely now la the fact that, nfter tho Incendiary was arrested ' ho produced several witnesses, who Intor found 1 employment at FTrd's theater, to testify thnt ho ! wns down In tho city durlnir h ?ii I
