Leopold Markbreit, who has just been elected mayor of Cincinnati, is a soldier, a lawyer and a newspaper editor, besides being one of the most popular men in his town. He was law partner of Rutherford B. Hayes when the civil war broke out, and it Was agreed between them that Hayes was to go to the war and Markbreit was to stay behind to attend to the office. Hayes was in command of a regiment at the battle of Carnifex Ferry, and was in a very tight position when he saw a new force debouching from the woods onhis flank, He w as about to order his men to turn ff their guns on this new enemy when he recognized their leader as Markbreit, whom he believed to be practicing law in Cincinnati. Markbreit was coming up to reinforce him, but the greeting he received was gruff: “What are you doing here? Why aren’t you attending to the office?” But in the heat of the battle Hayes forgot his wrath and made no further objection to Markbreit remaining with the army. Markbreit was wounded and bad to return home, for his legs had become paralyzed and he was forced to drag himself along with the aid of crutches. His misfortune served only to endear him with the people. Altheugh crippled he is still an active man and has been for years editor and principal owner of the Cincinnati Volksblatt, one of the leading German papers in the country. |) Markbreit is about 65, was born in Germany and came here as a boy.
