The Raleigh Standard,  31 Dec. 1862
                  $100 REWARD
   The above reward is offered for the apprehension and delivery at the Camp 
of Instruction, near the City of Raleigh, of JOHN MEDLIN JR., a conscript, who 
deserted about two months ago from Camp Lee, near Richmond. The said MEDLIN is 
from Union County, N. C., and is charged with the murder of LT. HOSEA LITTLE 
of the 82nd Regiment, N. C. Militia, while endeavoring to apprehend him.
   JOHN MEDLIN JR. is about six feet high and weighs 175 or 180 pounds; has 
fair reddish complexion, light brown or sandy hair (inclined to red) and 
grayish brown eyes. 
   On the night of Monday, the 22nd inst., while in [the] charge of the 
officers who arrested him, said MEDLIN jumped from the train at the Company's 
Shops, on the N. C. Railroad, and made his escape. At the time he had on brown 
clothes much worn and a hat that was once white. He was also tightly hand-
cuffed and his wrists are probably marked, if the handcuffs have been removed.
     BY ORDER OF GOVERNOR VANCE
Raleigh, Dec. 23, 1862                   JOHN C. WINDER, A.A.G.


Additional Comments:
 Note: The compiler could find no  service record  for  Lt. Hosea Little, 
killed on Dec. 22, 1862 in the line of duty. However, the census of 1860 
revealed that he, too,  was from Union, N. C. and was about 27 years old at 
the time of his death.
