A collection of books of the late Gen.
W. T. Sherman was sold in St. Louis re-
Gently for $50. 1t consisted of about 800
volumes of army records. regimental his
tories, courts-martial records and a gen.
eral assortment of war literature. The
sale was made by Thomas Dooley, a car
penter, who did work for Gen. Sherman
while the latter had his headquarters in
this city as the commander of the United
States army.
According to Mr.. Dooley. Gen. Sherman
gave him the books Just before he left st.
Louis. The carpenter kept them until he
moved from 1913 Morgan street. short
time ago. when he packed the library in
four large boxes. He then sold the outfit
to a downtown book dealer here for $50.
The dealer was not aware at the time that
he was securing a bonanza, as when he
offered $50 for the outfit he did IL on a
venture. On examination he found a num-
Der OF valuable pieces of literature, and a
large proportion of the books contained
the autographs of men OF renown.
there were testimonials from u. S.
Grant. Rutherford B. Hayes, Phil Sheri-
dan and others. besides any number OF
books presented to Gen. Sherman by the
authors. Many books, otherwise worth
less. were made valuable by the autograph
of the general himself. Among the books

to point to the existence of a gigantic
deal, but now the other side is given a
hearing in the Spokesman Review. and
the matter takes an entirely different
phase. Walla Walla is essentially an ag-
ricultural city Its wealthy and leading
citizens engage extensively in farming.
pretty much as the leading citizens OF
Spokane engage In mining. They farm
tracts OF from 800 to 1900 acres each, and
require many thousands OF grain sacks
for the product of their big farms. Nat
urally and properly they applied to the
penitentiary management for their sup
plies. and now resent the imputation sent

been parties to a disreputable deal.
