ing rifles, but which proved rather
tricky and dangerous weapons. other
makes of guns were turned out at the
arsenal to take the place of the Hall
rifles, and these were called in and
stored
The government decided to dispose of
the worthless guns at the armory, and
a public auction was held Reuben
Daw, the Georgetown gunsmith, at
tended the sale aud bought a large
number of the guns, having them
shipped to his home. He sold a few
OF them and then decided that he
would utilize the stock on hand in
building a fence around his two
houses at the corner of Twenty-eighth
and streets, he then occupied the
residence Immediately on the north
west corner. Mr Daw took the bar
rels from the stocks, and placed in
the end of each barrel a forked fancy
topping, thus making upright iron
and steel pickets about as substantial
and attractive as any used in build
ing the fences around the old man
sions in Georgetown. He had the
posts and other portions of the fence
manufactured to order, and with his
own hands he did the larger part of
the work in putting up his gun-barrel
fence, which to-day is in almost per-
feet condition.
On some Of the old barrels may yet
be seen the sights, but most of them
have been broken off by souvenir hunt
ers, as have also been taken away
many of the top pieces. The two
splendid brick and stone dwellings are
occupied by the families of Charles
and Edward Daw, sons of the man
who built the historic fence.

of works of art before the time Of
Christ, for there is undisputed evi-
dence that this statue is the work of
ancients.
Many years ago Commodore Boyle,
OF the United States navy brought the
statue from Athens, Greece, where
for more than 1000 years it had es-
capped the despoiling hand of the bar
barian and other invaders of that
ancient city The commodore secured
an authentic history of the work OF
art and valued its as one of the treas
ures gathered in his travels through
out the world He kept the statue
for several years and then presented
1t to his brother, Dr. Boyle, one of the
men who made White Sulphur Springs,
Va, famous as a watering resort for
the wealthy people of the United
States
The statue, then unbTOken and beau
tiful, was securely placed over the
main entrance to the large hotel which
was owned and managed by DR.. Boyle.
Having for untold generations origin
ally graced the front of some Greek
temple. it now looked down season
after season on the modern social
gayety of a popular American resort.
DR.. Boyle received numerous offers
from rich patrons to purchase it, but
all of these he declined to consider,
as he knew its history and its value.
The statue remained over the hotel
entrance until the breaking out of the
civil war A number of union sol
diers were encamped near the Springs
and the spirit of having a little fun"
occupied a good portion of their camp
life, active warfare not having set in.
! One day a crowd of the soldiers de-
cided to pull down the lady in scant
raiment" With a long rope they las
seed the head of the valuable statue
and with a strong pull it was tOppled
over and fell to the hard stone pave
ment, breaking off the head, arms,
portion of the drapery and otherwise
| damaging it. Not satisfied with this
: the soldiers rolled it to the large lawn
and set it in position as a target for
/ rife practice To this day the once
beautiful sculpture shows where the
| leaden missiles from hundreds of rifles
and muskets marred its smooth sur
| face.
| When the war closed DR.. Boyle had
| the broken statue boxed and shipped
| to Washington, where it again became
the property of his brother, Commo-
/ dOre Boyle had the broken statue box
ed and shipped to Washington where
/ it again became the property of his
| brother. Commodore Boyle. Mr. Flan-
merry. the sculptor, was on terms of
