+ ON GOVERNOR MARMADUKE!
At last the enemy gave up the tard retreat 1. marching away the' tas:, and Springfield was
safe. The untrained mon of the town and county bad proved too much for the superlor and better trained force. Why Marmaduke did not attack the town from its emetern and defenceless side, has Always been an unsolved puzzle. Which recalls a scene in Jefferson City 24 years after the battle. Gen- eral Marmaduke was then gover- nor of Missouri. Judge W. D. Hub- bard of Springfield was in the cap- Ital accompanied by his sleter-in- law. who had been In Springfield during the battle.
As they walked on the street the judge said: "There Is the gover- nor: I will Introduce you." The gallant. old soldier acknowledged the introduction with a sweep of his hat and a profound bow. "Gov- ernor," said the lady, "I have al- ways wanted to see you."
"Indeed, Madam, I am highly honored. May I ask why you wished to meet me?"
"Only this. Governor. I wanted to see what a general looked like. who tried for a week to get into Springfield, without learning that the town had more than one side!"
