A memory Of the Revolu.lon.

General Frazer, who was the
right arm of Burgoyne's expedition
of 1777, was, next to Major Andre,
the most interesting character
among our foemen of the Revolu.
ton. He was killed in the decisive
battle of October z, 1717, and bur
led under intensely interesting cir
cumstances, in a redoubt Of his own
construction, on a hillock in rear
of the British camp. There has
prevailed in that section of country
a tradition that some fifty or sixty
years ago his remains were removed
by a party Of Englishmen to Eng
land, and on visit Of exploration
to those parts in 1854, | made in
quiry into the truth Of the story ;
but the information | received was
at heads and points on the subject.
| suspect the report grew out of the
disinterment of the remains of an
officer killed at the same time and
buried not far away from Frazer's
grave, as detailed in a letter dated
1921, which has recently fallen un-
der my notice, and which | synop-
size for the benefit Of some antigua
rians among your readers who may
be interested in the subject.
One morning in the autumn of
1921 carriage drove up to the
door of Mr.. Schuyler, at Wilbur's
Basin, containing one aged man
and two younger gentlemen, who
requested permission to disinter the
remains Of an officer buried on
his farm forty-foqr years before,
Having obtained their request, they
procured a large box, and, under
the guidance of the older man, pro-
ceeded to execute their purpose,

no regulation of this kind and, as
the pay Of the Russian officer is
notoriously very meager, it follows
that most of those who are married
are in a state of extreme poverty,
and can with difficulty provide
their families with even the neces.
saries of life. Moreover, very
many of the subaltern officers Of
the Russian army are quartered for
long periods with small detach-

Lynch Law ana Murder at Lonoke

hyncn Law ana Murder at LOuOke.
Little Rock Gazette, 26th.l
A negro named Green, who three
or four weeks ago was indicted as
being concerned in the Eagle muir
ders, committed in either this or
Lonoke county, was found by a
constable who was searching for
Anderson, the rayishcr of the widow
McKinstry, and was arrested and
brought to Lcnoke, and delivered
over to Squire Beard, justice of
the peace, who placed the prisoner
under guard in his Office. Sunday
night, about eleven o'clock, while
the guards were sitting on the gal
lery of Squire Boards office, and
the prisoner was lying asleep on the
floor inside, three armed and masked
men rode up, ordered the guard to
get out of the way. At the same
time one of the number dismounted,
rushed into the house, placed his
gun against the body of the sleep
ing negro, and discharged the con-
tents into lis body. After this it
appears that other gunshot wounds
were inflicted, from the effects oil
which the negro died in about hall
an hour. When the first shot was
fired the noise aroused Squire
Beard, who was sleeping in an ad-
joining apartment, He rushed
into the room where the prisoner
was confined, which was unlighted.
One of the assassins saw him
through the window, however, and
probably mistaking him for the
prisoner, fred at him, lodging a
heavy load of buckshotin his right
arm and side, from the effects of
which it is feared lie will die.
We hope that Governor Miller
may take prompt and vigorous ac-
tlon in bringing these assassius to
justice. The good people of Lon
oke will no doubt render every as
sistance in ferreting out and hunt
ing down the men who would in.
fliet a lasting stigma on their fair
name. Mob violence like this is
the worst foe to society. 1t matters
not what may have been the provo
cation, these men were not justified
in shooting an unarmed prisoner.
If the friends Of the men killed a
few years ago may take the law into
their hands and commit mur-
der, their enemies may do the
same. A prompt and rigid
execution of the law is our
only safeguard. 1t matters not
how exalted may have been the
character of the man murdered it
does not eXtenuate the crime of as
sassinatlOn. 1t matters not how
low or humble the station or char
acter of the man assassinated, the
crime remains the same. Let the
majesty of the law be yindicated.
Let the Governor at once offer a re-
ward for the apprehension of the
assassins, and let the people of Lo-
noke rise as one man to wipe away
the foul stain from the name Of
their county.

crossed upon the breast, a silver
stock.buckle, a gold Masonic med
al, and several musket balls, all
which were identified by the old
man, who, with gushing tears, gath
cred them all up and deposited them
in the box, which was then carried
away.
They all took supper at Mr.
Schuyler's, when the younger men
stated that the remains were those
of a British officer in Burgoyne's
army, and that the aged man was
his servant, VINO, with the aid of
three soldiers, bore him off the field
of battle mortally wounded; that
he died under that elm tree, and
that his faithful servant had buried
him in his uniform with the afore-
said accomplishments, wrapping the
body in several blankets, covering
it with several boards and marking
the grave from the standpoint Of
the tree, All this was done in the
hope of an ultimate removal to
England.
After the peace the servant began
to importune the family to remove
the bones Of his dear master, but
they had no confidence in his ability
to find them, and the matter lay
along-he still entreating-till the
grandsons Of the ofiicer--the young
men present-decided to crafty the
faithful old man with an attempt
to recover the remains. The result
is already detailed ; but the officer
could not have been Frazer, whose
bones undoubtedly still lie in the
redoubt where they were laid at
dusk of October s, l777, under the
fire Of the American artillery, and
the dust upthrown by cannon balls
over the chaplain and the atten-
dant mourners, forming-as de-
scribed in the Baroness RedeisePs
memoirs and the journal of Bur
goyne-one of the most graphic
pictures in history.
