SCARED TO DEATH
Cannon Ball Frightened the Life Out of a Brave Soldier.
Capt. Charles du Moulin, of the One Hundred and Forty fifth New York volunteers, has told a case of fatal fright on the part of a soldier in his command quite as singular as that related by Capt. Kilmer. This man had often been under fire, with great credit to himself and comfort to his officers. One day he with other, was lying behind a ridge on his face awaiting orders. It was a rather trying position but all concerned, this man included, were cracking grim jokes in whispered tones, when a shot from a rifled gun, struck the ground in front of them, throwing a cloud of dirt and dust into the air. The missile plowed underneath, coming out behind the line of reclining soldiers, but not touching or hurting anyone. This man, however, lay quite still, and when one of his comrades crawled to his side to ask what was the matter it was found that the poor fellow was dead. It was another case of a brave man being scared to death--Chicago News
