And Mrs. S. Neale, he recovered rapidly. Wyatt was sent to Chariton, where he was soon after captured and held a pris- oner until the war ended, the enemy never at any time ascertain- ing that he had been a Guerrilla. The balance of the wounded, hurt much less severely than Jesse James, found hiding places in Howard and Carroll. In Howard also Anderson disbanded until the 2d of September, his brother James — inferior in every fighting respect to William — operating a little along the main thoro...ughfares and losing an excellent soldier named Jourdan. Others of his squad likewise felt the grip of a bloody hand. Plunk Murray, Joe Holt, Robert Todd, Ed. Phillips, and Dof. Carroll, unsentineled, sat one day at dinner, talking pleasantly of pleasant things and laughingly. Sixty Federals surrounded the dwelling and demanded in the old way an instant surrender. All of the Guerrillas but Holt arose from the table and began to fire as they ran. Todd was killed, a Platte county man ; Carroll was killed, a Clay county man; Murray and Phillips escaped, the first shot in the left arm and the second in the right leg, while Holt, a beardless boy, hiding his pistols and his tell-tale shirt, sat steadfast at the table and welcomed the militia as the son of the farmer who was feeding the Guerrillas.
