Greensburg witnessed a riot on Saturday, April 25, 1863, on which day there was a great political rally in the county seat. Hundreds of peo- ple were in town on that eventful day and very many of them had

on butternut emblems. It could hardly have been expected that the day would pass without some violence and it seems that the "Butternuts" were courting trouble. And they found it. Before the day was over numerous shots were fired. fist fights were engaged in on every corner and more excite- ment prevailed around the public square than Greensburg has ever seen before or since. The Greensburg Standard tells the story in its issue of the week following and as it was an eyewitness of the fracas, its account is given verbatim, as illustrative at least of the style of discussion then indulged in by the newspapers, as follows :
"The day had been extensively advertised among those who opposed the war, and great speakers were here to criticise the government and influence the already excited minds of the 'Butternuts' and 'Copperheads,' as they were called. United States Senator Thomas Hendricks, Judge Joseph E. Mc- Donald. Attorney-General Oscar B. Hord and Judge R. D. Logan, men of commanding ability, were here and spoke in the court house to an immense audience of men, many of whom came from distant parts of the county and adjoining counties armed and looking for trouble. They had boasted that they would 'take the town.' One delegation of eighty horsemen from Sand- creek. Jackson and Clay townships met at the Goddard school house and drilled for an hour before marching into town. Many of them were armed and wore butternut emblems. They rode into town and around the square just before noon. This was the only demonstration of the forenoon.
"The first outbreak was about noon, when a man by the name of Finley, wearing a butternut pin, challenged a Union man to take it off, feeling that he had such strong backing that no one would dare attempt it. When the dust had cleared away Finley and his brother were badly used up and Captain Robbins was knocked down, but not seriously injured. The air was full of rocks, and things looked bad for a while.
"The speaking was at one o'clock. Capt. J. V. Bemusdaffer, formerly a Union soldier, presided. Hendricks spoke for an hour. McDonald fol- lowed. Both these men counseled against violence and advised the men to obey the laws, but make their protests at the ballot box. It remained for Judge Logan to fan the flame, and he did it successfully. His speech was highly inflammatory. He exhorted his hearers to preserve their God-given rights and not be trampled on. The war has degenerated into an abolition raid. Hord followed Logan, attacking Governor Morton for squandering the people's money, etc. The meeting dispersed quietly about three-thirty. and about a half hour later the riot began on the south side of the square. near the southwest corner. One Jesse Myers, who was intoxicated, fired a
444
DECATUR COUNTY, INDIANA.
pistol at Sergeant John Pierce, of Wilder's battery, who was here on detached duty. Myers was arrested and taken to the office of Squire Bryan, on the south side, where the crowd congregated.
"About this time one Allen .G. Robbins fired a revolver at some one in the crowd and ran. He was pursued by Sergeant Pierce, Deputy City Marshal Man Zorger and others, at whom he fired back three times. Rob- bins was shot in the thigh, and ran into Will Pound's law office, three doors east of the southwest corner of the square, where Zorger disarmed him. As Zorger turned around with Robbins's revolver, he found a revolver pointed in his face by S. H. Logan. Some one, said to be Joe Drake, knocked Logan's arm up and he was shot in the abdomen.
"This closed the performance, and those of the Copperheads who were able to get out of town were soon making rapid advances toward home."
It seems that Judge Logan should bear most of the blame for the trouble. since it was his inflammatory speech which stirred things up. Those who are still living tell how the cavalry brigade from "Jagneck" and "Sand Creek" made a most ludicrous get-away when the tide turned against then. Some jumped on their horses at the court house rack and forgot to untie them in their excitement. Others crawled on their horses backwards and groped blindly toward the tails of their faithful steeds in a vain effort to get hold of the reins of their bridles. Some never took the trouble to find their horses, but took to their heels in the direction of the tallest woods. Looking at the performance from a distance of fifty-two years, it looks like it must have indeed been an exciting day.
SOME CIVIL WAR STATISTICS.
Decatur county furnished twenty-six companies of infantry and one battery, making in all about twenty-five hundred men. Deducting those who enlisted twice or more, it would appear that the county sent at least two thousand men to the front during the dark days of the Rebellion.
Fifty-eight men from the county were killed on the battlefield, dis- tributed among the different regiments as follows: Seventh. twenty-four ; Thirty-seventh, eleven: Sixty-eighth, seven: Fifty-second, three: One Hun- dred and Twenty-third, nine. Six men of the Fifty-second were frozen to death on the cold New Year's day. 1864. Twenty-two died of wounds received in the service : twenty-two died in prison : one hundred and forty- one died of diseases; two were drowned-making a total casualty list of two hundred and fifty-one.

DECATUR COUNTY, INDIANA.
During the progress of the war the county commissioners were author- ized to offer bounties for enlistments and by the end of the struggle the county had expended one hundred seventy-one thousand six hundred dollars for this purpose. Some of the townships also offered bounties for enlist- ments and they expended twenty-five thousand dollars along the same line.
RELIEF FOR SOLDIERS' FAMILIES.
Within the first week after the men went to Indianapolis a subscription list was started for the support of soldiers' families. Amounts ranging from five to one hundred dollars, with a total of three thousand six hundred and seventy-five dollars, was raised in three days. The following subscribed one hundred dollars each to this fund: M. D. Ross, B. H. Harney, J. F. Stevens, W. H. Reed, G. Woodfill & Sons, E. and L. P. Lathrop, T. M. Hamilton, Samuel Bryan, A. R. Forsyth, David Lovett, D. and J. Stewart. J. P. Hittle, R. A. Hamilton, L. A. Donnell. J. S. Scobey and John AAnder- SO1). Our citizens deserve no small amount of credit for the liberal manner in which they contributed to the volunteers that went from this place. Besides the amount subscribed for the support of their families while they were gone, each one was furnished with a new blanket and two check shirts and four hundred dollars placed in the hands of the captains of the com- panies to be used to promote the comfort of the companies. All must acknowledge that Decatur did her whole duty.
A relief committee. organized to look after the welfare of the soldiers' families, secured an order from the county commissioners that the county would pay a sum equal to that raised by private subscription. This made the sum double $3.678, or $7.356, all of which was available within the first week after the soldiers went to Indianapolis. B. H. Harney was secretary of the relief committee and A. R. Forsyth was treasurer.
Because some advantages had been taken of the county commissioners in the matter of relief for soldiers' families, it was decided to discontinue this method of supplying relief and put the work in the hands of township trustees. This was done nine months after the war started, up to which time the sum of $7,777.89 had been paid out by the county commissioners.
The county commissioners passed an order, August 14, 186t, for the relief of soldiers' families. Barton H. Harney, who had been appointed chairman of the relief committee in April. was continued as such to look after Washington township. Commissioner John Moody was assigned Fugit
446

and Salt Creek townships, Daniel Boyer, Clinton, Adams and Clay and Wren Jackson, Sandcreek and Marion.
As the war progressed it was found that a large number of the families were in need of the necessities of life and provisions were made to take care of them by the county at large as well as by the individual townships. The county issued orders for relief to the amount of $128.582 and the townships spent $20,000 more for the same purposes. Greensburg alone paid bounties to the amount of $6,000 and relief to the amount of $8,686. Besides these specific amounts paid out by the county, townships and the city of Greens- burg, the county and the city expended $1,500 and $40,000, respectively. for miscellaneous purposes. The grand total for the whole county, including the townships and city of Greensburg, amounted to $401,863.
A statement by the adjutant-general of the state on October 6, 1862, for Decatur county, discloses the following: Total nien of military age, 2,884: total volunteers. 1,353: total exempts, 432: total opposed to bearing arms, I ; total volunteers in service, 888: total subject to draft, 2,451. Under the call for troops made February 7, March 4 and July 18. 1864, Decatur county furnished 1,012 men and filled its quota with the exception of two- one fron Marion and one from Jackson township. Under the last call of December 19, 1864, the county furnished 173 men, a surplus of 16 above its quota.
