have not been very well myself but
have been up and around. This is the
place where that famous battle was
fought at Chicamauga. Our camping
ground is on the very ground that the
opposing armies met, and some OF the
boys are finding some of the balls that
were fired from the Federal and Con-
federates. When this was used for

Deputy U. S. Marshal Osmer arrived
in Ironton Monday having in charge
Cad. Kelley, charged with counterfeit
ing and who will remain in Jail here
until the meeting of the federal grand
jury in St. Louis liz November. About
two weeks ago it was discovered that
counterfeit so cent pieces were quite
numerously circulated about Birds
Point. Mississippi county. among the
tradesmen of that place, particularly
the saloons. Sheriff Ashby and Con-
stable Cupp of that county were noti-
fed and after careful investigation |
they in turn notified the United States |
authorities at st. Louis. Last Thurs |
day Z. S. Quincy. of the treasury de- |
partment, came down and had a con-
sultation with Sheriff Ashby and Cupp |
and on Friday they visited Birds Point
and vicinity, and Saturday morning |
they arrested Kelley at his home. at
Rodney's Switch. Kelley is single |
man and has been patching at that |

about two years without any regular |
Saturday Deputy United |
States Marshal Osmer arrived and on |
Sunday the prisoner was taken to Pop
lar Bluff where preliminary hearing |
was held before L. S. Commissioner |
O'Bryan Monday morning. The evil
dence against the accused seems to be
very strong. The counterfeits are
perfect as far as the impressions are |
hut the metal is very poor,
being that of black tin and ground |
glass. Quite number of pieces were
secured by the officers, but none on |
the person of the prisoner.
