the massive bowie found sticking in the pine.
AT Fair Oaks, while Salisbury was doing
some lively work. the Confederates captured

ever heard OF them until the lads of the
mining town found them as described.
SALISBURY is now employed at Brush Creek,

Nothing is known of Sharrer, whose name

OF the confederates retained the Bible and

The most plausible theory for the finding of
the holy book and the rusty blade on the

adherent of the lost cause, whose reverses
mad made him a misanthrope, and who
wished to show his feeling toward his former
enemies and his disregard for the holy book
