Ninth Regiment Cavalry
Major Way saw him, and, galloping up, reached for him. Morgan jumped out at the other side of the carriage, leaped over a fence, seized a horse, and galloped off as fast as horseflesh, spurred by frightened heels, could carry him. About a couple of hundred of his men succeeded in breaking away and following their fugitive leader. In the buggy thus hastily evacuated by Morgan were found his rations, consisting of a loaf of bread, some hard boiled eggs, and a bottle Of whisky.
"A few of our cavalry were wounded, two or three seriously. Lieutenant Fisk was shot through the breast. His wound is dangerous, and he has telegraphed for his wife to come from Michigan."
