Tomorrow He'll Carry Same':
A musket will be earned in the
parade tomorrow that went thru the
four years of the war in one owner's
hands, and still carries the charge of
powder and ball with which it was
loaded on the battlefield at Peters
burg, just before the close of the
war. The owner is George G. Burlin
game of Cleveland, who enjoys the dis
tinction of not only being one of the
youngest soldiers in the union army,
but also of having been in more des
perate conflicts and more tight places
than fell to the lot of the average sol
dier. Perhaps Mr. Burlingame may
not look so smartly dresed
otherls boys," but at leasta he wil
be the real thing as to uniform. After
his muster out. almost forty-two years
ago, he carefully collected his ac
coutrements and has worn them at
every encampment since the organiza
tion of the G. A
The hat is tattered and torn,, but it
has been cherished ever since it saved
his life at Hatch's Bun when frag
ments of a shell ripped thru it killing
his chum instantly and mortally wound
ing two other men.
One of Burlingame's most thrilling
experiences was on June 18, 1864, be
fore Petersburg. The heavy artillery
to which he belonged attempted to
take the enemy's works by assault,
but were forced to fall back. Th
fire was so hot that Burlingame
dropped down into a little depression,
not more than a foot deep, where,
with his dead comrades all about him,
he dug a rifle pit with his bayonet
and tin cup. Later in the afternoon
another union regiment' charged the
works and were repulsed, just as Bur
lingame's company had been earlier
in the day. A they retreated, one of
pe a
game, and there the two men waited
in the war there were few volunteers
offering, and the drafts had taken near
ly all the remaining able-bodied men.
As a result the government was taking
men who had been exempt from draft
on account of age and who had later
volunteered. Also, the mustering offi
cers weren't so particular as thev had
been in ascertaining the age of the
younger recruits.
Enlisting at Eacine, Judge was sent
to Milwaukee to be mustered in with
the Thirty-ninth Wisconsin infantry.
This was on May 14, 1864. fell in
with Company F, but when the muster
ing officer came along the boy was
spotted as under age, and th he pro
tested that he was 18, he was thrown
out.
Captain Lawrence of Company sym
pathized with the boy and gave him the
tip to take his place in the ranks of a
company which had not yet been mus
tered. did. so, choosing a place be
tween two weazened little recruits who
had a profusion of whiskers*but both
of whom were under five feet in height.

Judge towered up over them like a
giant, and when the mustering officer
came upon him again he remarked:
"Looks as if you 'd grown some since I
saw you. Guess you want to go pretty
bad''and passed him.
Judge returned to his original com
pany and was sent to Memphis, where
the regiment was doing guard duty. On
account of his youthful appearance he
was frequently sent out beyond the
picket lines to gather information
in the country, which was swarming
with confederates both in predatory
bands and as individuals home on fur
lough. Tho he wore the army blue, he
was always taken for a non-combatant,
and th hia mission was perilous he
never got into trouble. Thru his work
many raids were made out of the city to
places where confederates were ren
dezvoused and the bands were broken
up or captured.
The only time Mr. Judge was actually
under fire was when Forrest's cavalry
raided Memphis, and there was a sharp
skirmish before he was repulsed.
Thirty-two days after his enlistment
period had expired Judge was mustered
put, Sept. 22, 1864, at Milwaukee, hav
ing served 132 days. I addition to
his discharge he received later a for
mal document in the shape of "The
President's Thanks and Certificate of
Honorable Service."
TENTING WITH THE BIRDS
After frying bacon and making cof
fee at Fourth street and Hennepin ave
nue, James Illingham, a veteran from
Wisconsin, erected a makeshift tent on
Elder Stewart's lawn last night and,
rolling up in his old army blanket,
camped undisturbed in the heart of the
city. Policemen investigated the
strange proceedings of the veteran, but
the old soldier exhibited his war med
als, told of nis desire to meet his com
rades, explained the state of his
finances and spent the night with no
protest from the downtown property
owners*
Illingham arrived in the city last
Musket He Toted* in War
own beside Burlin- the men dropped
here
until dark, when they managed to
crawl back to camp. They kn ew each
other's names, but the two men never
saw nor heard of each other again
until three weeks ago when a letter
came to Mr. Burlingame from his one
time companion in the rifle pit, telling
him he had seen an account of their
experience over Burlingame's signature
in a Grand Army paper.

12 years, 6 months and 14 days. This
as nearly six months younger than any
of the young soldiers who have lately
been in the public prints.
As a boy young Judge was husky

night and with the aid of a cane made
his way up Hennepin avenue. The vet
eran is sadly crippled, owing to a gun
shot wound received at Gettysburg, but
he walked from the union depot to
Elder Stewart's property without as
sistance and, crawling over the fence
around the elder's lawn, unloosened a
cumbersome-looking bundle from his
shoulders and lay down on the grass.
Passersby who noticed the veteran
and offered him assistance were told
that nothing was wanted for his com
fort. After an hour's rest the veteran
undid his bundle, disclosing an old
blankets a dilapidated A tent, a frying
pan, a coffee pot and a bundle of fag
gots.
Apparently unconscious of the passer
by, Illingham proceeded to erect his
tent on the coveted lawn. Going to the
curb he struck a match to his bundle
of faggots and soon had several slices
of bacon frying merrily, while a coffee
pot suspended on a two-by-four exhaled
an appetizing odor.
At this juncture Patrolman Gordon
made his appearance and inquired into
the nature of the unusual doings on
the most valuable bit of greensward in
Minneapolis. Illingham was equal, to
the" occasion, however, and he silenced
the patrolman and hjs ally with the
statement that he had not attended a
national encampment of the Grain!
Army for twenty years, that he Mt i
been saving money for the last decaafe
that he might sometime renew ac
guaintances with his comrades anu that
in addition to his railroad ticket, hi
supply of bread, bacon arid coffee and
his camping outfit he had only 90 cents
to last him thru the encampment.
"I'm no beggar, tho," said Illing
ham, "and if you'll let me camp here
I '11 be able to go thru th encampment
on my 90 cents. Tomorrow I'l look ur
the schoolhouse accommodations, but I
was too tired tonight to go any fur
ther.
There was something about the state
ment of the veteran which impressed
the police officer with its sincerity and
at 3 a.m. when Mr. Stewart's caretaker
made the rounds of his master's prop
erty the Wisconsin man was slumbering
like a child, wrapped vip an old army
blanket, his head resting on his faded
blue coat.
