RAILROAD PARTY
Up THE RIVER
SPENT LAST FRIDAY AT WATER
WILLIE AND SATURDAY WENT
UP AS FAR AS PATEROS.-
WILL COME DOWN COLOMBIA.

The Hill railroad party was at Wa
terville last Friday. They remained
there but few hours and were nom
cOmmittal as to their plans for the
town. From Waterville the party
went by auto to Bridgeport and then
down to Pateros. The plan seemed
to be to go up the Okanogan a short
distance and in day or so the party
will be in Wenatchee, using the autos
for the ride down the river. The
trip of the Hill party is expected to
be significant, and it is thought that
ment of work on the river route will
be made soon.

"Wc!T OF Badenoch."
During the restoration of Dunkeld
cathedral the wOrkmen unearthed the
remains of Bishop Sinclair. one OF
those who assisted in the building OF
the cathedral. and Of the notorious
Alexander, earl of Buchan, whose fe-
rocity won for him the significant
title of the "wOif of BadenOch."
memorial marks the spot where the
| wolf was buried, and it has often
been a subject of remark by visitors
that a man who plundered churches
and in various ways showed his hatred
of the clergy should have been laid
to rest side by side with bishops and
other high ecclesiastics.
Alexander. earl of Buchan, was a
younger son of Robert IL. of Scotland.
During the closing years Of the lat
ter's reign the chief powers in the
state were delegated to his sons, the
earls of Fife and Buchan, and after
the accession of Robert I'LL, an amia-
BILE but weak prince. this unfortu-
nate delegation was allowed to be con-
tinued The Earl of Buchan ruled
over the northern part Of Scotland
with an authority little less than re-
gal He has been described as scarce
| ly better than a savage-cruel, fero-
cious and relentless. Among his ex-
| plcits was the destruction Of the mag
| nifcent cathedral of Elgin. He car
| rietl off the chalices and vestments,
| polluted the shrines with blood and
| finally set fire to the noble editice. the
| houses of the canons and the town
| itself. He also laid waste large part
| of the country.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Prison Experience.

Hugh Gibson, Hath ILL.,. Riverton
Ill, was captured at Guntown, June 10
1864, and was robbed of all of hi!
money, amounting to over $500, wa!
stripped of his clothes, and given ole
cast-off garments instead, in which he
entered Andersonville. He believes he
had the first drink of water from Provi-
dence Spring. He became all twisted
UP with scurvy before his release al
Savannah. Nov. 25. When captured he
weighed 174 pounds, and 81 pounds
when he was released. He has never
since weighed more than 154 pounds
and lost all his teeth from scurvy. The
disease also settled in his eyes, so that
he was compelled to have his right eye
taken out.
Seeking His Comrades.
Comrade Geo. NJ Ross, r. F. d. l.
Mount Glare, w. Va, writes that he
enlisted May II, 1898, in Capt. Henry
B. Lockers company, 1st ID. c., in Wash
ington, ID. c., and was honorably dis
charged Nov. 20, 1898. He had the
misfortune to break his left arm while
in the line of duty at Guanica, Porto
Rico, in August, 1898, which has left
him now in critical condition for all
manual labor for life The comrade
wishes to hear from others of his regi-
ment.

Last of His Squad.
William n. Legg, 5Sth Mass, Vine
yard Haven, Mass, is the only survivor
of the hardy young men of his regi-
ment who went from his place to the
war. He is very proud of his regi-
ment, which Loyalty bore to the bat
ties front the beloved flag which has
stood for liberty and right thru so
many years. The veterans are rapidly
passing, and with years their infirmi-
ties increase, but none of them would
blot out, if they could, their war eX-
perinece with all its suffering.
How Was 1t Done:
Comrade NJ. f. Mcdonald, Co. NJ,
18th Pa. Cav, Ebensburg, Pa, refer
ring to an article by Comrade John r.
King, Historian of the 9Th Md, con-
cerning the battle of Winchester, Va,
in which he states that his command
by skilful movement escaped almost
intact to Harper's Ferry, wants to know
how it was done. Comrade Mcdonald
claims that his command was the last
to leave the field. They were cut off
and compelled to cross the mountains
via Bath, Va. At the junction of the
Martinsburg pike and the Stephenson
Station road the 1st n. Y. Cav. led off,
and they followed just as the rebels,
coming down from Winchester, We're
preparing to cut them off from the
mountain road.
They Do.
Comrade P. A Morehaus, Rapid City,
S. D., upholds President Roosevelt in
the controversy as to whether chip
munks hibernate or not. Not only do
they hibernate, but apparently freeze.
During the Winter of 1880 Comrade
Morehaus worked In a gravel pit from
Is to % feet deep, and he often dug
out chipmunks, most of which he found
below frost line. When dug out they
looked exactly like baseball covered
with fur, no signs of legs, head or tail,
and appeared to be frozen solid. He
took several home, and after being in
a warm room for awhile leg would
straighten out, then another. and in a
few hours they would run around as
clipper as ever. His wife says that if
the President needs living witness to
prove this he may call on her.

PICKET SHOTS
From Alert Comrades Along the Whole

An Incident Mt vicksburg.

Comrade AL. Dillon, Co. A, 59th Ind
Wichita, Kan, says that one day IN
June, 1868, when his regiment was III
the rifle pits, the enemy in front raised
q new Confederate flag with defiant
cheer, firing at the same time chal-
lenging shot at a Wisconsin battery
The boys responded at once to the in
vitation, and an artillery duel began,
which only ended when the Wisconsin
boys exploded an ammunition chest OF
the rebels, cutting the new flag down
twice Comrade Dillon says he thinks
it was the 9Th or 18th Wis, and 1t was
as pretty an artillery duel as was fought
during the war When the Wisconsin
boys brought down the flag the first
time all the other boys sent up shout,
and a Confederate soldier picked up
the fallen flag, and, mounting the para
pet, replaced it. Then both sides cheer
ed, and the duel was renewed. He
never heard that there was any loss of
life, and it certainly furnished great
excitement and diversion while 1t last

oath Mich, St Paul, Mimi, referring
10 lHe nag llldl IIu" diuS
to have captured at the battle of the
Wilderness, says he was there at the
time, and saw the Major tear the flag
from the staff and put it in his bosom
under his coat. 1t was battle flag OF
the 4Sth Va, but he did not see him
capture it. He heard it was captured
by some of the boys and given to the
Major Comrade Ringwald had some
pretty close calls during the war, and

He would like to hear from his COM
rades of the 24th.
Surrender of Harper's Ferry.
Comrade G. NJ. Adam, Sergeant, Co.
X, S7th Ohio, Columbus, o., was at
Harpers Ferry when Miles surrendered,
and heard Col. Davis tell Col. Banning
that he intended to take his command
out, and that he would not surrender
without a struggle. The Sergeant was
Informed that he could have horse
and go along if he wanted to. He saw
the cavalry march out in honor, and
the next morning Miles surrendered
Comrade Adam thinks it certain that
the pistol shot that killed Miles was
fired bt some loyal man in the group
around him, the feeling against him
was so strong.
