Dispositions of a number of old citi.
zens Of Missouri were taken this week
at Columbia to substantiate a claim
Of s17,475 for damage done to the
property of Missouri University by
Federal troops during the Civil War.
MerrilPs Horse, a regiment of Federal
cavalry, was quartered in the Univer-
sity buildings for nearly two years
from December 1861. A claim for
damage done by it was presented by
the University in 1866 and approved
shortly afterwards by Military Com
mission appointed by General Han
cock consisting of General Penrose,
now of Denver, Colorado; Captain j.
H. Rollins of the U. s. Navy and
Lieutenant Brownwell of the U. S.
Army, both now dead. Four years
later the General Auditor refused to
allow the finding of the Commission
on tn e ground that to do so would
open other claims and bankrupt the
government. Recently Federal policy
concerning such allowances has
changed and the University claim is
