1804 one o f Price,« rebs got left behind
after a raid near Glassgow, M o., being
dangerously wounded in the neck.—
Miss Sarah J. Smith, a school teacher,
happening to pass by, took pity on him
and staunched bis wounds, probably
saving his life. She remained with
him till near nightfall, wheo the soldier
advised her to leave, saying that his
companions would probably cotue in the
night and take him away— if pot, she
would find him there in the morning.
He told her that his Dame was H . C.
McDonald, and that he was from Lou
isville, K y. The next morning he was
gone, and Miss smith did not hear from
hiip again till a few days ago, when she
received a letter from the administrator,
H. C. McDonald, senior informing her
that she was named in the will o f the
deceased as the legatee o f 850,000, in
consideration o f her having saved the
life o f his nephew and only heir, the H.
McDonald named iu connection with
the incident o f 1864. The Glassgoic
