GOLD.

EDS. JoURNAL-Mr. A. D. Clark, OF
/ Marietta, was out here, in east side OF
county, prospecting for gold. l told
him where there had been an Indian
mound on my farm near the Chattahoo-
chez river, and part of human bones
| have been washed up there, land I dug
up the rest and reburied them. He
said he wanted to see that place. ]
took him to it, he took out his instru-
ment that he had to find gold with, and
1T ipulled down at once he looked at
me and at him; he commenced walk
ing around and in few minutes he
said: 1--WE can't do what we came here
to do: there is vein of gold here, and
the widest one | ever saw
We followed it to the river. il being
about 81 feet wide there we then took
the other end of it, ever now and then
stepping across it, which was from 80
to 70 feet wide. Going through John
Boston's land about half mile, we
came TO where A. J. Webb's son picked
up that nugget of gold that was pub
lished in the JOURNAL a week or two
ago. Stopping in Is or 20 steps of s. A.
Anderson's land, night came, prevent
ing further investigation.
Mr.. Clark stopped with me that
night He showed me several recon-
mendations from men whom l know,
and for whom he had located gold. He
also proved to me that | could not hide
gold, silver or copper from him and
his instrument, Next morning my
son, F. L. Jolley, wanted him to inves-
tigate place which he had recently
bought, originally the Estes farm he
located two veins-one he thought very
rioh, and said it showed up like the
one at Lost Mountain, where compa-
ny is at work, He then went down
Hog Branch and found drifted gold in
the bed of this branch which he said
had washed from above. He also
crossed bed of copper at the branch
on the line between the lands of my
son and Mr.. Bishop. He went on down
the branch about the line between the
lands of Mr.. Bishop and Mrs. Dicker-
son, and there he found another bed of
copper. He then came to where Joe
Dobbins got blown up while blasting
for gold he said there was none there
Went lower down on A. J. Dickerson's
land and found one-haIf or three-quar-
ters of an acre of bottom with gold all
under it. w, w, jolly.

PLAY ON WORDS,

EDITORS JoURNAL:-Lastw week there
appeared in the Marietta Journal an
account of the bonmott (play on words)
gotten off by Master Carl Warlick. 1t
was very creditable for one of his ten
der years, but l can tell your readers
of something not exactly similar but
which is l think quite fetching" A
little boy had heard a great deal said
about the stars falling, etc. He Sc
cured from some source piece of sill
yer paper and cut it into stars which
were as near the original as his mex
perience would admit of. With about
three dozen of them caught up in a
handkerchief, he appeared before his
mother and when the handkerchief was
opened and shaken and the bright sill
yer papers fell to the floor, he said
very excitedly and pompously: well
Mamma, we can have star-falling our
selves if God don't give us one, can't
WEI" Clever, Ell? A.B.C.

Now nepnrtmre.

Washington, August 30,--Yesterday
for the first time in the history Of
the American army a woman was APP
pointed a member of the medical
STAFF. DR.. Anita Newcomh McGee,
wife Of Professor w. j. Mciiee OF this
city, and daughter Of Professor ST.
mon Newcomb, formerly Of the naval
observatory, was regularly sworn in
as an acting assistant surgeon. This,
according to Secretary Ayers gem
eral order, would entitle her to the
uniform of second lieutenant, with
out designation of rank. 1t is not
likely, however, that DR.. MCGEE will
avail herself of this privilege. The
appointment, while a novelty from a
technical standpoint. is not the be-
ginning Of DR.. McGee's service with
the war department. Throughout the
war she has been in charge of the
selection Of the women nurses, and
of the 700 or more now in the field,
most have passed muster at her
hands. Assistant Surgeon MCGEE
goes to New York tonight to select
thirty graduate nurses for service in
Porto Rico. DR.. MCGEE has regular
ly practiced her profession in WASH
ington for some years, and is well
known in medical circles throughout
this country, having contributed sew
era papers TO the American Associa-
tlon for The Advancement Ct SI'ncc
and to other scientific organizations.

SHERIFF HOLDS HIM.
Captain Duncan Arrested BY tho
Virginia Authorities.
MUST NOW STAND A CIVIL TRIAL.
Indicted ia Fairfax County for Desc
Drafting the Grave OF n Conied-
crate soldier Court Martial
ma. Sentence Was Light.

Washington, August S0.-Uaptain
Louis {. Duncan, surgeon OF the
Twenty-second Kansas regiment, Ia
held by the sheriff OF Fairfax county,
Va, to answer an Indictment charg-
ing him with desecrating Confederate
graves at Bull Run, near Manassa.
II appears that DR.. Duncan, whose
case has now become famous, was not
sentenced to five years Imprisonment,
as reported from Camp Meade, Pa,
but escaped much more lightly at the
hands OF the military court, there be-
ing a lack OF evidence to prove that
he actually took part IN despolllng
the graves. He was tried by court
martial under the siXty-hrst and six
ty-second general articles OF war.
The first charge was conduct un-
becoming an officer and gentleman"
the specifications being that he wit
messed and participated in the desc
Grafton OF the grave OF Major j, II.
Luke, OF the Fifth Alabama regiment,
q well-known Confederate officer. DR..
Duncan, however, was acquitted Of
any completely in the despolling OF
the Luke grave, the evidence proving
that he was not present, but in camp.
The second charge, under the sixty
second article OF war, was conduct
prejudlcal to good order and dlsclp-
line"
The specifications were % that he
participated In the destruction Of the
grave Of one Humphreys and (2) fail
ed to exercise his authority as an
officer in not stopping the destruc-
tion and putting the men so engaged
under arrest. Under the first specih-
cation, that Of having participated in
the destruction, he was acquitted, but
on the second specification the court
found him guilty.
The finding OF the court-martial,
approved by General Davis, was that
Surgeon Duncan be deprived Of his
rank for two months, be confined to
regimental camp and forfeit half his
pay for the same length Of time, and
that he be reprimanded by the com-
manding general.
How DR.. Duncan Is to be confined
to reglmental camp for two months
when he is now the prisoner of the
sheriff Of Fairfax county is difficult
to understand. His regiment has
moved from Thoroughfare Gap to
Camp Meade, Pa, 1t is understood
that when the sheriff presented his
warrant for him under the state in
dictment Duncan was voluntarily
surrendered. A clash between the
state authorities and the war depart
ment may develop. The case has not
been brought to the attention OF
Washington as yet.

Preston, Mimi, August BON. r.
Todd, the cashier who wrecked the
Fillmore County bank, has confessed
to VI. n. Gr0ttan, one of his bonds
men, the theft of all the banks de-
post funds. Grattan told Todd that
lynching was imminent unless he
made full statement, Overcome by
fear, he confessed that just prior to
the banks assignment he had taken
all the money on deposit and dellv-
cred 1t to former partner, who Is
now in Lacrosse, Wis. The Lacrosse
authorities have been asked to arrest
this man, and further developments
are expected. 1t developed that Todd
is forger, spurious note having
turned up in the banks paper. Todd
seems to have completely looted the
bank and his mother-in-law's large
estate. The feeling against him ),
