Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1891-06-11

Old man Left had quite an experience in
driving a couple of lawyers from st. Louis
over to Centreville, during court week in
that town. The parties arrived here on the
noon train from st. Louis and, with Left as
treville by the East Fork route. They got
along smoothly until they reached the Shrum
ford on Black river, when, in attempting to
cross, the wagon was upset and washed
down stream, while Mr.. Left and the horses
made for one bank as the two gentlemen from
the city tloundered back to the other side of
the river. All parties received good duck
ing, but were all very well satisfied that they
escaped so easily, and, after the waters had
somewhat subsidized. with the assistance OF
couple residents near by, were enabled to
proceed on their way.
Deputy Sheriff A. Riley and Chief of Po-
lice Caldwell of Bristol, Tennessee, arrived
here Thursday afternoon to take charge OF
Isaac Wilder, his son, John, son in law, Jno.
Neideffer, and nephew, VIM. Leonard, of
whose arrest by Sheriff Fisher we made
mention in these columns last week. The
prisoners were promptly identified and the
officials departed that night on the Memphis
train with the four men. From the account
of the Tennessee officials the gang is a tough
one and has long been a source of annoyance
and trouble in the neighborhood. Abraham
Bowers, for whose murder these parties
were wanted, was son-in-law of the old
man Wilder, and the evidence is that his
death was horrible one-that of being lit
orally stamped to death by the old man, with
the assistance of Leonard. Bowers widow
was married shortly afterwards and she and
her present husband were with Wilder and
his associates when they were arrested in
Carter county. The other two parties have
been indicted as accessories, and their show
for term in the penitentiary Is considered
good. 1t is also stated that the elder Wilder
is suspected of killing two or three men
lately, but this is the only case where the
proof could be obtained. Leonard is also
charged with shooting 4 negro few days
before the murder of Bowers. Officers Riley
and Caldwell say that they have been tracing
the party ever since they left Bristol IN Sep
TENDER last. During that time they have
| successfully located the fugitiyes in North
Carolina, Kentucky, and Indiana, but just
about the time they were ready TO make ar
rests the murderers would take the alarm
and move on-their plan being TO stop in one
place only short time, secure a little money
and then go forward, thus getting farther
away from the scene of their crime and make
detention and identification less liable. They
will be tried shortly after their return and ii
is thought a conviction will be sure to result

be welcome, and may God be with you till
we meet again.
| notice in looking over my Virginia papers
that there will be an unwilling of the statue
of Stonewall Jackson at Lexington on July
DIST, 1891. The objectof unyeiing his statue
on that day is because on the 21st OF July,
1861, during the great battle Of Manassas he
came upon the field with his army just in
time to save the destruction Of the Confed-
crate army, and after he had formed his line
of battle the Union army was forcing our
sons line of battle there was halt, and,
after three heavy columns of Union soldiers
had charged them, they stood firm and never
faltered. Gen. Bee, whose division had been
almost routed, rallied his men and said
Look at Jackson; he stands like stone
wall, "and from.that day Jackson's army was
called the "Stonewall Brigade" They then
made q charge on the Union army and the
greatest panic followed that ever was heard
of, and wagons, artillery, men and horses
were strewn for miles. l remember there
was a narrow bridge over Bull Run tina,
most of the army had to retreat and this be-
ing very narrow they could not cross it very
fast and thus caused a blockade for miles
have never seen anything like it. 1t seems
that there was no calculation made to re-
treat when that battle was fought. Livery
Confederate soldier ought to attend the I'M
yelling, especially the old members OF this
army. 1t will be a sad as well as pleasant
time to meet once more on this earth the

disturbed might never be questioned. The
plate which covered the face was carefully
removed and lying below was seen the skull
revealing the fine shaped head. The teeth
were perfectly preserved, two were missing,
one on each side, but they were removed in
life. The hair and beard had fallen away,
and the latter lay upon the uniform over the
breast. The texture of the cloth was appar-
emily we'll preserved. but it had turned i'll
color from grey to blue.
The remains of Mary Graham, Gen. Jack
sons infant daughter, who was buried May
25, 1868, were then taken up. only IA few small
bones could be found. These with the color
ed earth found about them were placed in a
walnut coffin and the coffin was placed in the
crypt with the caSket of the father.
A heavy limestone slab was then placed in
position in front of the crypt and scaled, and
the earth was filled in In front Of the vault.
The vault consists of two lows OF crypts
one above the other. Each row contains three
crypts 2Gx40 inches. All are beneath the
earth's surface. The one in which Gen. Jack
sons remains and those of his infant daugh-
ter were placed, was the center one in the
lower row.
At $50 o'clock the entire work of removal
was completed, the slab was sealed and the
earth filled in.

FRIDAY MORNING. JULY 8. 1891.
REV. SAM JONES.

Since last Sunday morning, when he
opened at the Bodley Wagon Works to an
audience Of nearly 5000 persons, the Rev.
Sam. p. Jones has been preaching three
times day to our people and great crowds
of others from elsewhere. Up to this date
he has keel-hauled the editors, doctors,
preachers, saloon keepers and church peo-
pie If there are any other unlucky classes
they will doubtless catch it before he goes,
He is the most unique man that has ap-
peared in the American pulpit, OIL in the
pulpit of the world. He gives offense to
thousands, while he converts thousands to
God. There is no reproducing him in type,
though we have tried to present elsewhere
a sketch of his first sermon, as something
due the public. To understand the weight
and aptness Of what he says, one must see
and hear him. 1t is impossible, otherwise,
to appreciate either his wonderful power
Oh his cauStic tongue.

POLITICAL NOTES.

Senator Carlisle of KY, warns the Dem.
ocratic party that sit would be exceeding.
ly bad policy to permit the silver question
to become the paramount one in the cam
paign of 1892. 1t is a question upon which
there are honest differences of opinion in The
party, while there are other questions OF
equal or greater Importance upon which we
are thoroughly united, and think we had
better concentrate our strength instead Of
dividing it,
Gen. Thos. L. Rosser, is suggested

Der Of the next House of Delegates from
that county. He would make broad

Removal of StonewalI Jackson's Remains
[Rockbridge News, June 25th.]

The remains of Gen. L. J. Jackson were
quietly taken up this morning from the grave
in the Lexington cemetery where, since May,
1868, they have rested and were placed in
one of the crypts in the vault near by just
completed and above which is to be placed
the heroic bronze statue of the great chief
tain. The time of the removal was not made
public and there were only two or three Others
present besides Capt. j. q. Boude, the repre-
sentative of the jackson Memorial Commit
tee, Mr.. E. j. Leyburn who superintended the
removal, Mr.. W. g. Charlton the SEXTON and
several laborers.
The work of excavation was commenced at
3 o'clock in the still Summer morning under
the rays OF a full June moon and the town
clock struck the hour of five as the heavy iron
casket was raised from the grave. The earth
had lain loose above it. The roots of the
surrounding trees had entwined themselves
about it and between it and the surface, The
box into which it had been lowered had rotted
away. and except in the case of few fraii
fragments was hard to distinguish from the
earth which originally surrounded it, The
caslet was earth colored and heavily rusted
but otherwise we'll preserved The handles
had apparently their original strength,

crypt it was opened and the remains inspec.
