He HAD IN CIVIL WAR

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. IT,
Probably no one man has attracted
more attention during the G. A. r.
reunion, and particularly in the big
parade today, than Geo. G. Bur-
lingame of Cleveland. He appeared
in the parade wearing the hat,
clothes and accoutrements and
carrying the rifle which he used
in the civil war over 40 years ago.
The hat is riddled with bullet
holes, the knapsack and canteen
show the marks of long and hard
usage, and the rifle still contains
a charge which was loaded into it
before Petersburg. Va, just before
the close of the war and which
Burlingame never had occasion to
fire.
The hat still bears the marks of
a shell through the explosion of
