Then, after mv next term in the academy, came the mar fever." Civil War Experiences, When tlw? Civil war broke out, young Warren wanted to enlist, but his father served notice on him that he would not give his consent until he was at least IS. On his eighteenth birthday, he arranged ar-ranged with his employed to finish up some extra work which he had on hand, that he might be given an opportune v to ! enlist. At that time the sttat authorities ' of Massachusetts were calling for nine- i month troops instead of mn for longer enlist men t. as the belief prevailed that the rii- would end during that period. The orficlal records of the war department depart-ment show thnt Francis K. Wnrron was enrolled September 11. at Pi'ts?Ield. j Mass.. and was muscerei into service at the same place September 13. lo:. for i the term of nine months, ae a' private of Cantain Plunkett's companv.

Mass., was on duty- in that vlcir.it v a short time from there went to New York Cltv on provest duty and later was sent to New Orleans and node a part of the Nine- i teenth army corps. The regiment took ' part in the engagement at "Plains Store' and in the entire siege of Port j Hudson. La., and was present when Port I Hudson was surrendered. It participated participat-ed in Feveral engagements before Port Hudson and was In the fights at Donald-; Donald-; son and vicinity. I On September 30. 1S?3, fl congressional I medal of honor was awarded Senator I barren, the order of award reciting that . he "volunteered in response to a call and t took part In the movement that was j made upon the enemy's works under a heavy fire therefrom in advance of the general pwult." This assault was made May 27, Afterward, on June IS, 1SR3, Malor General Banks, commanding the department depart-ment of the gulf, asked for volunteers for a storming party to be formed for another an-other exDected assault upon the enmv's ; works at Port Hudson, and promised" a : meaal (not necessarily the medal oi. hon-i hon-i or) "fit to commemorate the first grand I success of the campaign of 1!3 for the freedom of the Mississippi." Corporal Warren did not like the nurchase idea, and hence did not loin. That "storming party" did not have opportunity to "storm," however, and did not receive medals. Wins Honor Medal. A more detailed account of how Warren War-ren won his medal of honor by volunteering volunteer-ing to "go over the top" at Port Hudson Hud-son i3 as follows: The "Forty -ninth Massachusetts and some other regiments wore called upon to furnish two volunteers from each company com-pany to perform the dangerous undertaking undertak-ing of preceding the troops making the. general assault, the advanced detachment to carry timbers and fascines to fill the ditch in front of the earthworks of the fort, so that artillery and other troops might cross in the event of the success of the advanced sally. Corporal Warren was one of the volunteers. It was a. most wicked engagement. The colonel, and. In fact, every commissioned officer with the so-called "forlorn hope," was killed, and about three -fourths of the enlisted men (privates and non-commissioned officers, were killed or wounded. wound-ed. Only those survived who fell wounded wound-ed on the field or sought shelter behind stumps or trees. The Confederate guns In Port Hudson had been silent, supposedly suppos-edly silenced by the shelling order by General Banks, but realiy in preparation for this assault. When the "forlorn hope" advanced across the open, every gun in the fort opened up, and the field was swept by a storm of shells. General Hartlett, at that titne commanding the Forty-ninth Massachusetts, fell .with two severe wounds, and his horse was killed within two feet from the woods from which the attacking force proceeded. Corporal Cor-poral Warren was slightly wounded, knocked down and remained unconscious on the battleground for a considerable time. senator Warren's a experience in the army has proved of great value to him in his capacity as a legislator. He was notably no-tably a great cha irman of the f ma te military affairs io;nm!;tee, and now, as I ti:t' 'unbelt r.mkln-r minorirv member, bus I advice is ou-l;t and generally followed in ! military ici-.is;atio!i. cvruitor Warren is the only member of Am,-A 3J t i te-m J - i cx WmM v J iifl ' Pilij warni i ' ' -- , i i . .-. 1 v s , l - 1 --r" p J - -V : L the present congress who t;? a "medal of honor man." The After-War Period. After the close of his srvi.-f-? in ;he civil war Corpora! Warren returned to his native p'ace. Hinsdale, where he k-:pt up his practical military ex;:or; ::.e by serving as a captain in the Massachusetts Massa-chusetts state militia. -Si!U un'1-.T years of age, he returned also to hi former for-mer occupation of farming ar.J mane an engagement to become ioremi' n . f the Plunrteu far.!, and remained " " imtil early in the sunns: of lS'.j. The f.rm was utilized laiegly :or the bre aiu: oi thoroughbred livestock, and Capta n Warren War-ren obtained a thorouch rdi-.'ation ia theoretical and practical farmini and stuck ra i s: n z and a pra c t i a i k u -! r. : 1 -of the mechanieal pursuits that groip ja with tho.-e industries. 6U'-h ar. .-a reenter work, biacksmith work, mill wo:U, grading, grad-ing, ditching, etc. Although, w.u-.s were small, compared with present -Jay rates, he sved his earning.-: a: d invested his savings in government bonds. It was about this time tha t Warren concluded that he would quit farminer and sroc k rauiug in the east and. with h small capital, would so west, where, he believed, the business would pay be; tor and where ooportuuitles seemed to be better for a young man who knew how and was willing to work. He had no special plan?, but believed that a way would ooeri up for his advancement. A few days later a friend ser.t him an offer of a position as foreman of one of the construction crews of workmen on the Rock Island railroad line, then under construction con-struction from Des Mom- s, Iowa, westward. west-ward. At about the same time he was asked bv a Mnsjacirjset ts neighbor, Charles Lonverse. to go to Cheyenne and take charge of a mercan; iie business owned by his son. A. R. Convert, who was in poor hetilth and wanted a manager man-ager in whom lie could place confidence. With these two things in view, young Warren, with his few hundred dollars, started west m-arly fifty years aco. He first went to the line of construction construc-tion of the Rosk Island road, but after a few weeks letters came from his friend. Converse, at Cheyenne begging him to come there. Mr. Converse was sick and without proper help, and on th- score of friendship, as well as business, lie implored im-plored Warren to come immediately and help him. Finally, b? settled the matter by tossing up a coin, and in this hazard of fate Wyoming won acainst Iowa, and Warren lost no time hi gettinsr to Chev-enne. Chev-enne. although it took two davs to make the journey. At that time the Chicago & Northwestern was the only railroad entering en-tering Omaha from the east, and the Union Pacific was :he onlv road extending westward. Pioneer Cheyenne. The following description of Cheyenne and its sun oundings. recently given by Scnaior Warren. Is interesting., lie said: "The Union Pacific, at the time I came west, was neirlv compelled to I-ara.mie. It had reached Cheyenne in the late fall of lfiT, anrl arrived in Cheyenne in May, 1 $.$. The fare was tnen 10 cnts per mile: the accommodations verv pour. The trains had schedule time, hut seldom followed it. Arriving at Cheyenne, what struck me os somewhat remarkable was the fact that two bra-s bands were In attendance at the station, and upon inquiring in-quiring what notable personage was being serenaded I learned that the two bands were employed resularly by the tvo rival gambling houses; that they were there to serenade the guests expected to arrive-, and that a la: ge van. or omnibus, was there representing each one of the gam-blimr gam-blimr houses.
