The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1900-04-23

Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Susquehanna, Pa, April 22.-Abram
Wadsworth, of Cascade, was a gall
liant veteran of the civil war. He
fought for three years in the 111th
Pennsylvania Veteran Volunteers, and
came home first sergeant of his corps.
He was proud of his discharge papers,
and instead of framing them he car
ried them upon his person, in cellu-
loid case. Three years ago the case
and contents suddenly disappeared,
and Abram mourned and could not
be comforted. He felt the loss more
severely because he needed the pa
pers in order to secure a pension.
Last week three of Abrams cattle
were attacked with tuberculosis, and
they were killed. In exploring the
stomach of one of the COWS, to find
further traces of disease, the veterin-
arian discovered, among other things.
a pocket rule, a quantity of nails ana
buttons, part of silver watch case,
pocket compass, a harness buckle,
a tiny hymn book, three thread spools,
some tape, the handle of a shaving
brush-and the celluloid case contain
ing wadsworths discharge papers.
Abram thinks he lost the case while
baling hay in his barn. In some man.
ner it fell into the NOW, and it was
fed to the COW. Today Abram is the
happiest man in all the Cascade sec
tion.
