Minnesota Wins Tax Fiaht.

Judge Oscar Hallam, at st. Paul,
has filed his decision In the case
of the state of Minnesota against the
Western Union Telegraph company
and finds that the state is entitled to
collect $40,56407 back taxes. This
amount covers a period of Ave years,
from 1901 to 1905, in which the tele-
graph company failed to pay the full
amounts it was assessed, claiming
that the valuation of 100000 the
state had placed on it's property was
excessive.

Aged Veteran "OffiCially Dead
Tor FOTty-six Years.
.eREETs HIS old COMRADES
Soldier of First Minnesota Be-
Iieved to Have Been Killed
at Antietam.

After hiding his identity for forty
six years and declared officially dead
William Cogger, residing at present
on the White Earth Indian reserva-
ton, appeared in Minneapolis and
proved to the satisfaction of the pen
sion department that he was not only
William Champion of the Twenty-first
Pennsylvania volunteer cavalry, the
name he had taken after the battle of
Antietam Sept, IL, 1862, but also Will
lam Cogger of Company Fl of the First
Minnesota, who, according to the rec
ords of the war department, was killed
during the Antietam battle.
Prior to the battle of Antietam Cog
ger had been on bad terms with the
captain of his Minnesota regiment, en-
tirsly on personal grievances After
that memorable battle cogger awoke
on the field slightly injured and with
the dead and dying strewn about him.
His nerves were at high tension
and he thought over past affairs. He
knew his captain would be waiting for
him, but to so back meant more trou-
BILE. Aimlessly he wandered away and
went to farmhouse, where he
changed his uniform for a civilian suit
and then went northward into Penn
sylvania. 1t was there that he adopt
ed the name of William Champion,
the last name being that of half
brother residing in England, and then
sfartad to vvor1r In q mill
Re-Eniists in the Army.
His thoughts, however, wandered
back to the field of battle and his am
bition soon led him back. Within ten
months after he had left the battle
field of Antietam he was member of
the Pennsylvania cavalry, with which
he served until February, 1854, when
he was honorably discharged.
After the war he still chung to the
name lately adopted and drifted into
Ohio, Michigan and finally landed at
Houston, MINI. In 1867 he went to
knoka, where he had two brothers,
John and Charles, living. There he
took up his former name of Cogger
and visited the brothers, though not
revealing the fact that he was Will
lam Cogger, supposed to have been
killed at Antietam. That William Cog
ger was dead in the minds of all his
relatives and friends and William
thought 1t best that he remained So
Wednesday he appeared in the fed
eral building at Minneapolis from his
White Earth home and there met
Charles Shatto in the office of Rich
ard Lewe of the United States pen
sion bureau. Shatto was messmate
Of Cogger's in the old First Mime
sofa. In the usual greeting between
two veterans Shatto was about to
speak when Cogger stepped up to him
with an ontstretched hand and said,
You look all right except that you've
got new teeth" -rz.--e...s.. -e.-..=..
But few explanations were needed
and after forty-six years William Cog
ger gave the first hint of his real iden-
tity. A reunion of old comrades then
commenced and it is probable that
Cogger will continue shaking hands
with his friends who long have thought
him dead and to whom he appears as
though out of a grave.

that he could identify Booth anywhere by this
tooth. This Identification, understand, was

Mr.. Watson, I went to Thomson the day
you came home from Congress- as thousands
of others did, and I saw a man on the street
and was told that it was your father. I went
to him and congratulated him On having such
a noble son.
If [ was misinformed he did not make it
known to me. I have never had any doubt
about it until [ read in Bethany, on the sixth
page where you said your father had died
OF pneumonia the March after the Septem-
Der in which you were born, and also on page
800, where you speak of your father being
dead.
Some Of my neighbors have been impressed
just as [ have and say they would like to
hear from you on it.
Then, on page 307, why did your mother
sign her name, Mrs Horton7 Has she been
married again to Mr. Horton?
Very truly yours,

J. SAM. CHAPMAN.

Mote: In writing Bethany" had to
use the license usual among writer's Of fiction.
For the purposes of the story I made my
self several years older than I was, and had
my father to die when I was lad, whereas
he lived until 1895
No doubt he was the man whose hand was
shaken by Mr. Chapman on that memorable
day in 1892.
The lovers in Bethany were my uncle and
distant cousin. The very sad ending of
their courtship was precisely as stated in the
book. The very first incident that is clear
in my mind is the funeral Of the young lady.
Later there was some dispute in our own fam
lily as to where she was buried, and my mother
said her grave was in the family graveyard
near the house. But I remembered a long
line of vehicles in straight sandy road, and,
sure enough, the memory Of the child was cor
rect. The beautiful young lady had been
borne to another cemetery, some two miles
away, and this graveyard was reached by a
road which had long, straight sand-bed in
it.
shall never forget the morning when the
negro "Hello'd" at the front gate and faith
er went out to get the message that the lady
was dead. The dying soldier, my uncle, had
crept to the door Of his sick-room and was
holding on to door-frame and door to support
himself, while he eagerly listened, trying to
catch what the negro was saying to father
Nor shall I ever get out of my ears the
tone Of voice in which the sick man asked
as father came back to the house:
"John, what did that boy say?"
Not having the heart to tell him, father
tried to invent a different message-but to
no purpose.
"No, it wasn't that" said the young SOL
der. "He came to say that Jennie is
dead"
Then he had himself undressed, and went

BURIAL PLACE OF BOOTH.

What Became of the Body of the Assassin of
President Lincoln
(Col. F. Fl. Phipps, in Army and Navy
Journal)
In the Journal of Saturday last I note a
letter from. Olive Ennis Hite, in which she
relates a story told her by an officer of the
navy to the disposition made of the body
of Wilkes Booth, in which it is stated as a
fact, "never having been disputed,' that the
body OF Booth-in a gunny sack-was taken
aboard the Montauk in the Potomac River
and cast overheard at point below Indian
Head
How such story could have originated I
fail to understand, and that it may not be
accepted without dispute, let me state the fol-
lowing:
After the assassination of President Lin
coin and the arrest Of the conspirators, the
latter were tried in the old Washington pen
ltentiary building, and after their execution
they were buried just outside the walls of the
building. When these buildings, with the ex-
ception of the warden s and deputy wardens
quarters-as we'll as the surrounding walls
were turn down, these bodies were taken up
and buried in one Of the old storehouses at
the Washington Arsenal, in a locked room
and underneath a stone tagging, and by their
sides were placed the bodies Of Writ, the
Confederate jailer, and also the body Of Booth,
the latter having been delivered at the arsenal
in gunny sack at the little boathouse off the
Washington Arsenal grounds. The place of
burial was marked so as to identify where the
bodies were placed.
Just before Andrew Johnson's term as
President expired, Edwin Booth applied to
him for permission to have Wilkes Booth
body exhumed and turned over to him for bu-
rial at Baltimore. The President gave in
structions through the Secretary Of War, to
Gen. George d. Ramsay, the commanding Off
Ger of Washington Arsenal, to exhume this
body and satisfy himself-there having been
several stories about that Booth had never
been killed, and had been seen here, there,
and elsewhere-that the remains turned over
were those of j. Wilkes Booth. The COM
handing officer Of the arsenal directed me to
personally superintend the transfer of these
remains.
With party of enlisted men, the remains
were taken up in my presence, the lid Of the
box removed and the remains of Booth pos
itively identified beyond any question. The
black hair, the shape of the skull, the color
and condition of the clothes, the riding boots,
and the remains of the boot cut off at the
ankle all indicated without doubt that the
body was that of Booth. In addition to this

A LEADER OF THE GREAT FIGHT

Hon. Thomas E. Watson, Thomson, Ga.
My dear Sir: In answer to yours of recent
date, will say that [ have communicated with
Messrs. Love and Henry, the proprietors of
the Black-Patch Journal, and they will COM
municate with you as to Advertising I am
not connected except that have contributed
literally to it's columns at their solicitation.
[ take the Weekly Jeffersonian and the JEFF
fersonian Magazine, and would not be with
out either for any reasonable consideration.
With so much slush and trash to hunt through
for some food for thought you may imagine
how eagerly l devour everything you write
and then feel pain at having finished The
only consolation is that I wait while and
re-read, and then file away, and I now have all
the magazines preserved, and will have them
bound. From your writings have gained
great lot Of information handed out in the
most entertaining and charming style, and at
the same time, suggestions and enticement into
fields of thought, which perhaps would have
never entered had [ not been so fortunate as
to have read your writings. For the past
three years [ have spoken many times in the
tobacco growing states of Tennessee, Ken
lucky and Virginia and wherever I go find
that your magazine is doing it's work. You
are a1ming the great common people with the
weapons of truth, and sharpening their hatch
cts, and in my opinion the day is not far dis
tant when the heads Of Plutocrats, Silk-Hat
Patriots, Wall street Bank liars, and
Gamblers will fall like the leaves Of autumn.
Keep knocking at the wall and it will fall,
without the braying of a single jackass or
the lone blast of rams horn. 1 ann send
ing you a check for $685. for which please

AT first it was believed that there were

arrested Wednesday evening in the South

that the wound would requires treatment
