NOVEL MUSEUM
AT ARSENAL TO
QPEN ON JULY4
Exhibit VIII be Free to Public
Prem to 4 Every Afternoon
Except Sunday.

a Rock Island arsenal museum
will be opened to the ri-cities July
4.
This museum is under the direc-
ton of Russell West of Rock Is
land, curator, who has been an en-
pIoye at the arsenal for 80 years.
Mr.. West has gone to quite a bit
OF pains in securing the exhibits
and trophies now ready for first
display. He says that in time the
museum will be much more extra
ordinary than it is now
The exhibit is at present located
in the west wing of shop A at the
main entrance of the arsenal, to
which visitors may gain entrance
from 1 to on all but Sunday ant
ernoons, by stating their desire TO
visit the museum.
If appropriation is made by the
war department for the establish
msp1 of the museum in the original
senal building at the west end of
Slne island, the collection will be
greatly increased.
The present exhibit is located in
a lower floor of the shop, coated in
white with rows of pillars through
the center.
The Exhibit.
Outstanding in the exhibition
hall, near the center, is a large
American model Of the rs millimet-
er cannon, decked and in position
as il awaiting orders for move
ment. Four horses, hitched to rAe
cannon, stand alert.
One Of the most remarkable
trophies of the museum is a bronze
cannon used in the Revolutionary
war. It was taken over from the
British, and Is engraved with the in
scription: Surrendered by the Sar-
atoga convention. Oct. II. 17f7."
Other cannon, including those used
Ny the Americans and some sent
oNsr by French supporters, ale
shoAp.
The rifle exhibit is the most ez-
tensive of all. One case is COM
posed Of rifles used by the Amer
lean army since the first model in
1893 Another includes guns from
private concerns, and still another
those used by foreign armies in
long past wars as well as the latest
conflict
An interesting piece is one loan
ed by Mrs. Caroline BuntIey, nee
Bragg, Of Rock Island 1t was long
in the family of General Bragg an
is so old that the date of its manu-
factuFe is not known.
Another remarkable rifle is one
manufactured at Harper's Ferry, Il:
1919, and later captured from the
Sioux Indians in a western upris-
ing.
The Filipino exhibit is an inter
esting museum. Boomefangs, gun
barrels, scalping knives and other
weapons of antique design are
shown. One case of these curio5
was loaned by J. J. Mahoney CT
Davenport.
Model of Arsenal.
A model of the first proposed
Rock Island arsenal is something
which will strike the interest of
every one. The model is about 10
feet square It is remarkable to
know how the plans of the original
design have been generally carried
out, with few changes. The loss OF
nun rous trees on the island havo |
been noted on the model by deple-
ytI0ns in the imitation trees.
