ably Give IL Co "a Museum


When on July 9, 1855. near where
Pittsburg city now stands, Msior-General
Braddock lay dying on the lost field Of
Fort Duquesne. his only surviving aide
Colonel George Washington the rest of
his staff killed or wOunded-with the
assistance of two soldiers, bore the
wounded general off the field and over
the MonougRhela river in the red mill
tary sash, which as major general. he
wore around his waist. Wrapped in it
he was placed on tumbril and carried
during the night and the ensuing two
days to Fort Necessity, where he died
and was buried on the 18th. In his
dying moments Msjor General Brad.
dock begged Washington TO accept
of nhis military accoutrements, his two
horses his side arms and this sash; also
TO keep and care for his orderly named
Bishop, who was subsequently with Col
onel Washington in the Revolution, and
for many years until his death at Mount
Vernon This red silk sash, stained and
stiffened with his blood, was carried by
General Washington to Mount Vernon,
aud by him given by Msjor General
Gaines It was given TO Major General
Iachariah Taylor in 1913 by Major Gen
eral Gaines after the Mexican war. It
was only the other day, after great
/ search, found by his only surviving
daughter the estimable Mrs Betty
Taylor-D DAndridge, of Winchester. who
as Mrs. Bliss was 50 well known whilst
presiding over the White House in the
short year her father was President.
The history of the sash seems TO be
that, on General Taylor's sudden and
unlocked for death, all Of his personal
effects were placed in his army chest and
remained there until at the death of his
widow they were sent to this city. the
home OF Mrs cambridge, bis only sur
viving daughter then There was no
memoranda or inventory aud no special
thought was given II The civil war
coming on they were forgotten, and It
was only the other day, her
attention being called to the subject,
that search was had and it was
found, carefully wrapped up in linen and
labeled 'Braddocks sash, together with
her fathers two military sashes Il is

long by IN width. At either extrem-
ity, near the heavy silk tasssls, wove

this sash can be found in foil detail in D..

value to the lady other than as a relic Of

filings were made.
"On March Is. 1893, at O'clock A. M,
the day on hch, according to the adver-
iisement in the Shasta County papers,
township 80 north, range 2 east, was to
be thrown open TO the public for filings,
there was rendered al the office in this city
a State application for 800 acres of lieu
land, which application was based upon a
filing made in the State land Office al Sac
ramenro by Mis-. Caroline Pratt, whose
DostOffice address was gwen as 420 Cali

attorney. The basis for this lieu selection
was furnished by one of the principal men
dealing in that article. and the gentleman
looking after the States interest at the
United States local Office at Redding was
his agent.
"The name of the United States Sur

This township was surveyed since Pratt
came into Office. and one OF the parties as
sisting in making the survey was ques-
toned by Pratt as to the quality Of the
different sections of land. And 1t is pre-
sumed that the best half section was Sc
lected for member Of the family.

address, entered land in the same town

taken as school indemnity. and the basis
was derived from losses made by the TIM
her reserves that were cheated in the
mountains"
1t is understood that there are still other
cases in which land was acquired by
friends and conneetlGns.of The Surveyor
General, both in school and State-selectIon o
