are trying to decide if they have
jurisdiction over the gaekWar, who
declares that as a sovereign prince

The question came UP when George

mis- wife fG~ divorce and at the same
time tried TO collect 100000 dam

that the Indian prince broke up his

ENLISTED IN KEoKUK

A recent issue of the Monmouth
College Oracle periodical issued
in the interest of that institution,
was a 75-page affair and was entire
ly devoted to Monmouth College in
the War of the Rebellion" 1t con-
tanned roster of all the students of
the college who served in the civil
war, of which there were some 200.
Among these students was young
woman: afterwards she served as an
army nurse The lady is Mrs. Caro-
line Pollock Gray, now resident OF
Prairie City. She may be truly called
the Florence Nightingale of Mon
mouth College, as she served a
period of three enlistments as an
army nurse during the civil war.
Her great-grandfathe, Robert Jack
son, was general commanding South
Carolina troops in the Revolutionary
war. In one of the numerous en-
sagements with the British and Tories
| in that state, his right hand was
shot off. In this condition he drove
an OK team hauling wagonload of
wounded patriots from the scene OF
battle. He was a cousin of President
Andrew Jackson and lived in the
Forks of the Youghiegheny, where
the mother of Mrs. Gray ~as born.
Mrs. Gray was born in Green coun-
ty, O., and came when a child with
| the large colony Of members of the
Associate Reformed Church and set
tied a few miles northwest of Mon
mouth. forming the nucleus of that
great body of United Presbyterians
in Warren county.
At the breaking out of the war she
was student in Monmouth College
leaving its sacred walls to become
an army nurse. Going at first to
Keokuk, Iowa, she enlisted in the ser
vice but was rejected because there
was no need of women nurses at the
hospitals there. Nothing daunted. she
went to st. Louis, where she was
accepted.
The College Oracle contains cut
