Dark and rainy as
was that night Colonel Barteau attempted to capture a wagon train that was going
east between Bay Springs and Iuka, but he was too late. The train had passed before
he arrived at the place where he expected to make the capture. After burning
some cotton within six miles of Iuka the regiment returned to camps.
