Found Missouri War Relics.

Rutledge, Mo-, June 16-W. Il.
Short who lives near here, dug up re-
Gently on his farm sixty-iour old
muskets, which have been buried
since the spring OF 1868. The farm
was owned by Mr.. Shorts father in
the Civil war. Colonel Glover and a
force OF Union soldiers csmped near
the short homestead one dayin 1868
and were preparing supper when a
troop OF Confederate cavalry dashed
down upon them and captured the
company. Colonel Glover's soldiers
were equipped with'fuse" guns, an
army musket superseded by more
modern weapons before the war clos
ed. The Confederate troopers took
the guns, but discovered that they
had no ammunition for the old-style
weapon. They left the guns on the
farm. The possession OF so formid-
able display OF arms at that period,
when even a squirrel rifle was on the
prohibited lisS, alarmed Mr.. Short.
A trench was dug, the guns piled in
and covered withearth. The weapons
were found by accident, The stocks
are rotted of and the iron barrels
eaten by rust. Rslic hunters have
carried away all except three OF the
guns.
