After Fifty Yaars

This werk a meeting occurred i'm the
INDEX office between two old umers-not
two old tuners as spoken of on this range,
but two men who had not met for fifty
years. These were Mr.. David Mckinney.
stOcknan of this county, formerly of Ia
fayette county, Missouri, anG Mr.. Thomas
Burgess, of Washington county, Arkansas.
Fifty years ago these two men were SOL
diers together in the Black Hawk war, and
for one year were messnlates and bosom
friends. After the war they separated, Mr.
Burgess located in Arkansas and Mr.. Nc
Kinney returned to his native state, Ken
tlicky. The two learned of each others
whereabouts and entered into correspOn-
dence, which resulted in Mr.. Burgess COM
ing Quito visit his old cOmrIde. The meet
itg Tuesday was Il most aft citing one.
Though II half century had passed, and
two other bloody wars had been recorded
ia history, these two old men talked over
their bOy-hood days rs if it were but year
ago. The many incidents they related

fromlSjl to 1855? Time has nat dealt severe
ly with these two old soldiers. Though each
has passed the allotted time of man, three
scorc-and-tem, ana have grandchildren who
are nearly old men, they are both in good
health and appear as if they might yet
make good soldiers if they were called into
service. Their company was known as the
United States Mounted Il myers" the lp-
tain being Nathan Boon, son of the orig
inal Daniel Boon.
Mr.. Burgess will remain here with his
old friend several days.
