Of Mrs. j. H. Crugar, of Madisonville,
o., she having had it for 40 years. It
is made of white silk with green field,
In which are II stars, and 1t is stained
with blood. The story goes that it was
sent from the front by Frank Dunievyl
Hunt, of Blue Ash, o., to his niece soon
after it was captured. Hunt was a
of the Sd Indp't Co., Ohio

Tribune from Martin o. Holston. of the
Chicago Dragons. who now lives at !,
Spokane. Wash. He said that the flas
was taken from his saddlebag at New
