FAMILY SKELETON
COMES TO LIGHT
Man Appears on Island Who
Was Shot at Several Times
by A. D. Kinssbury

Murder will out" and this
is story stranger than any fic-
ton related by Zane Grey, Con-
an Doyle, or Victor Hugo. 1t is
the story Of the meeting of two
men for the first time, after a
gun duel fought fifty seven years
ago. With apologies to Heinz
and his "57" varieties, it was
just fifty seven years ago, to the
day and hour that this story was
told us, that A. d. Kingsbury,
one Of Maury Islands Oldest and
best known citizens was pump
ing lead into the ranks of the
confedcratcs at Gun Town, Miss.
Facing him were several hundred
boys in gray, one of whom was
Corp. d. II. Dodge, now Of Sc
attic.
Corp. Dodge was a member of
the 7th Tennessee under General
Forrest, Mr.. Kingsbury was a
member of the 4th Iowa under
General Sturgis. The battle of
Gun Town was fought June 10,
1864. In the engagement we find
the "Johnny Rebs" were victor
ious, yet the fedcralist army
numbered 5000 while the con
fcderate amry only numbered
LOGO. However, one battle does
MT determine the results Of a
war, for the federalists were fin
ally victorious, and the Union
was preserved.
By accident, Mr.. Kingsbury
and Corp. Dodge met for the first
time a few days ago and got to
discussing the civil war. When
one word followed another, both
found they were engaged in the
same battle. A map was drawn
of the position of the two armies,
and strange as it may appear, the
company in which each of these
two old war vetcrans-represent-
ing the north and south--were
fighting faced Zach other, and
was pumping lead into the ranks
of the other. Neither was wound
ed, and here, on Vashon island,
after 81 years has passed, they
find themselves alive and well,
and with sectional differences
settled, they met under the peace
full skies of Washmgton-and
both rode in the same automo-
bile to tell the writer of this ar
ticle the story he has related.
Both men are enjoying good
health, 10th men are respected
citizens, both men seem as happy
as a couple Of school kids MAX
ing puppy love" to each other
and the WS-RECORD joins
in wishing both men added years
of peace and happiness, believ-
ing each fought more than half
a century ago for what they
thought was right and just. Long
may Corp. Dodge and his wife
live at 30S Hays street, Seattle
and long may Citizen A. D.
Kingsbury and his family enjoy
the happy life they persue at
liingsbury landing, on Maury
Island!

WASHINGTON PMS.
MEET AT BURTON
Annual Meeting Closed There
Thursday withKind Words
On Every Lip

The Annual State Convention
Of Washington Postmasters met
at Burton on Wednesday of this
week and closed yesterday. Mrs.
Hunt, the local postmistress had
been at work on the matter of
entertainment Of the delegates
for some time and nothing but
good words were heard on every
lip for the island in general and
Mrs. Hunt in particular.
The meeting was called to or
der by President w. j. Taylor
Of Winesap who made some very
interesting preliminary remarks.
America was sung by all and
Rev. Fretz opened the convention
with prayer, P. Monroe Smock
delivered an address of welcome
and the response was made by
the president. The secretary,
Mrs. Gertrude L. Beatty of Cho-
paka, gave lot of valuable in
formation concerning the state
organization work. At noon a
wonderful feed, provided largely
by Burton ladies, was served at
the residence of Mrs. Hunt.
There was an abundance of fried
chicken, salad, cake, strawber-
rieS, ice-cream, coffee and ct
cetra.
The afternoon program was
opened by an Illuminating ad-
dress by Mr.. Sparks of the Sc
attic postoffice who spoke on the
accounting of postmasters. w.
Coy Meredith made a star ad-
dress on "What Business Man
Expects of the Post Office" At
five o'clock, through the court
esy of some of the jitney men,
a free ride was given the dele
gates over the island.
The convention was very much
enjoyed by every one present,

THE CHAUTAUQUA
PROGRAM CLOSES
A Good Attendance and a
Splendid Program is
Furnished

The Chautauqua has come and
gone and the patrons as whole
were well plascd with the series
Of entertainments. The opening
program was cartoon evening
with pictures of all kinds and on
all subjects. The second day was
occupied by the Skibinsky trio
Alexander Skibinsky is a Russ
ian pianois who has surmounted
many difficulties to master his
art and while his playing is not
of the transforming variety, for
all who love the sweet and beau.
tiful classics, well played, he was
very satisfactory. His accam-
PIANIST is responsive and the vocal
list Of the trio sang most sweetly
several selections with a voice as
clear and tones as sweet as bird
80 God be Merciful" was one Of
the best things Of the entire pro-
gram.
On Monday avening the Stef-
fenson pictures were shown, and
perhaps this number was least
liked by the majority. The lee
turer was substituted, and there
was a considerable of trouble
with the films. The Oreida quar-
tet was made up Of four jolly
good singing ladies and their
numbers We're well received. j.
G. Herbsman is fine speaker.
He has good stage presence,
but we heard several criticise
some of his language, and others
who think through expressed a
question as to much of his logic.
He is in favor Of ga Navy sec
ond to None" but believes in ar
bitration. At this particular
time of our national history we
were praying he'd have a good
word for Borah's plan Of dis
armament, but evidently he does
MT think much Of it. However,
the NEWS-RECORD does think
most favorably Of the Borah res
olution-but great men and great
minds differ-you know.
The climax for popularity was
easily the last night. The Man
lila Quartet was splendid. Each
member was an artist. The plan
iSt was a wonder. Oliver and
his wife were exceptionally good.
And Fay Epperson was the best
child interpreter we have ever
heard. Encore followed each
number, and it seemed the aud
fence couldn't get enough of any
eff the performers.
Financially, it isn't known def
initely just how much the guar
antors fell behind at this time,
but we have failed to hear a
single guarantor express regret
at the part he played in making
the Chautauqua possible. We un.
derstand another Chautauqua for
next year is assured. In our
opinion, if it could be held dur.
ing the last Of July and was To-
Gated in the Island State Park
it would easily be made self-sus
tanning. The Chautauqua does
take out several hundred dol.
lars in money from the island
but it leaves several hundred
good thoughts and inspirations
with the people who attend.
