the city of Washington, D. C., in July, 1864. In September of that year his regiment was sent west to Ohio, with headquarters at Johnson's island, to assist in breaking up the orders known as "The Knights of the Golden Circle" and "The Order of the Sons of Liberty." About dark on the 2d of November, while Sergeant Paige and four men of his detachment were conveying two prisoners from St. Mary's to Lima, and when about two miles from Waupaukeneta, they were fired upon from the road- side by "bush-whackers." At the first volley the two prisoners and four guards were instantly killed, and all the horses were struck. The horse the ser- geant rode, on being struck, began to rear and plunge ; the sergeant cleared his feet from the stir- rups and jumped for the opposite side of the road. While in mid-air another volley was fired, one shot of which took effect, striking the hip joint, glancing inward and upward, and finally lodged in the abdominal cavity. In falling, he landed between two dead trees that lay nearly parallel to the road. There he lay while the whackers were hunting for him : after a while two of them came and sat down on the log behind which he lay wounded. Some of the detachment who were left behind at St. Mary's, having heard the firing, started down the road on the gallop. When the sergeant first heard them coming, he quietly drew his revolver, and said, " Hands up ; if you move you are both dead men." The whackers, not knowing where the voice came from, were taken so by surprise that their hands were thrown up in token of surrender. In this position they remained until the detachment came to where
