to Nephew


Joplin, Mo.-There is in the posses.
sion of Lee w. Peters, who lives in
Chitwood, IL trunk and Il will of Calvin
Il. Butler, an uncle who has been miss
ing for nearly sixty years.
Butler left for Australia, and his
last injunction to his nephew, who liv-
ed near u. s. Grants old home in Gal
ena, ILL.,, was to keep the trunk and tie
will, which bestows everything in 1t
on Peters, until he felt sure that he,
Butler was dead. When he felt thus
sure he was to have the will probatCd.
Peters does not know what is in the
trunk, but as Butler had been a snc-
cessful "49er" in California, he thinks
there is gold inside. He recently ;oid
neighbors that he will not present the
will for probate until 1925, at which
time if Calvin Butler is still alive he
will have attained the age of 100 years.
Another uncle of Peters, IA brother 10
Butler lived to be that age.
The trunk will have to be broken
open, for Butler took the keys with
him. There are three locks, and Peters
acknowledges that he has oftel tried
to unlock them with various key =, but
has invariable failed. He resolved not
to force it open until the time limit he
had set expires.

is in search of the chemical parts of

Repositories of Hundreds of Men Who
Fell In Civil War Unknown

Oktah, Ok.-A movement has been
rious Oklahoma Civil War burial
grounds and particularly the burial
places Of Confederate soldiers who fell
in combat within the Indian Territory
during the war between the north and
the South.
Among these burial grounds is one

nearly $50 Confederate soldiers fell in
a civil war battle. Since that time
there has been no effort to keep sac.
red the cemetery other than to re-
f.ain from plowing up the sod which
covers the remains of the soldiers.
"Enmity should end at the grave.
Surely there are none SO unforgiving
us to hold malice toward the memory
of brave men who died the death OF
soldiers on the field of battle"
Such was the comment of j. B. Tho
burn of the department of history OF
the University of Oklahoma, in dis
russing that fact that the graves of
Confederate soldiers who were killed
in battle during the civil war in what
is now the state of Oklahoma, are no.
only unmarked, but even the places
where they were buried are almost
forgotten. Continuing, Mr.. Thoburn
said
