A Bis Bullet Story. . One of our. prominent ranchers' has i been laid up for several weeks with a j very sore foot, caused by what appeared ' to be a huge carbuncle on the heel. Monday Mon-day afternoon the swelling broke and an old time bullet emerged from the fester. He was a soldier- in the relxllion and was shot in the fleshy part of the leg, between be-tween the bip and knee, at the battle of AntieUm. The bullet was never extracted, and he has suffered more or less pain at various times ever since, the sensation apparently appar-ently working down the limb as the missile mis-sile slowly worked iu way toward the surface. Two years ago hU knee was so lame that he was unable to walk for some months, and the lameness was caused by the bullet in its passage by the joint.' He is now rapidly regaining goed health, and has had the relic of the tot times made into a watch charm.--Gridley Herald.
