cei. Mosby.

Col. John s. Mosby, whose fame as
a soldier and scout In the war between
the states, 1875, is said TO have lost
his positson which he has held for
years under the general government
at Washington and that he has little
orlno means to live upon.
It is said that he will at once begin
work on his memoirs which Of course
will include his war irecord and that
he will soon have it on the market.
Col. Mesby was gallant soldier but
was roundly denounced by the South-
ern people, soon after the war fer
changing his politics and accepting Of
fee under Grant. He has been able to
live off the general government since
the war as he did during the war.
Many of his old soldiers are still true to
him and some of them will never let
the old man want.

Neither District Attorney BlakeIy nor
any OF his staff knew of the visit Today
