Lt. Col. Herron


The Pittsburg Gazette is anxious to learn if the brave Lieutenant Colonel of the Iowa 9th, who was formerly a resident of that city and has many friends there, suffered any at the battle of Sugar Creek in Arkansas.  A dispatch to the Dubuque Times says that he was wounded and afterwards taken prisoner.  The killed and wounded of this regiment are put down at 150.
