Bullet Made Old Soldier Forget Who're

The story of a wound received in the
civil war which sealed the hiding place

fury and of a strange trick of fate
which cleared the hider's memory in
the evening of life was brought to Los
Angeles by the hider's son, ]. X And
erson of New Orleans, who is at the
mining fields of California.
Andersons father Joined in the gold
rush and was one of the miners of the
40 days. He located a claim in Placer
county near Auburn and Newcastle.
Within year he had snatched from
the river bottoms a fortune. Then the
call OF the south for volunteers reached
him. He buried the gold beneath the
adobe blocks of a tavern in the vicin-
ity of his claim, strapped all the preci-
Gus substance he could carry about his
body and hurried, to join the Confed-
crate army.
Anderson says that his father was
struck in an engagement with the
Union troops by a bullet which tore
open his scalp and robbed him of his
memory for fifty years. During that
time, the son says the parent was like
a child, with all knowledge of the hid
ing place of the gold gone. Before he
died, year ago, his memory of the
gold rush returned to him and he was
living again in the past that preceded
his part in the conflict.
