BUNKER HILL RELIC IS HERE
Old Rifle in Possession ot Historical
Library.
How would you like to erin the iron
barrel of a gun that was nsed In the
ngnt tor Independence at Bunker
lilll, that lay between the bales of cot
ton, and helped Jackson ston Packen-
ham' regulars at New Orleans! The
Rate Historical Library has that
gun. It was presented to the society
oy r. j. Halney of Barnard In 1917.
This old gun in Its long life of one
hundred and fifty years has cruised
the woods from Massachusetts to
Missouri. It has been used asalnst
bear, deer and panther as well as
against British and Indians. It also
participated in the frontier shooting
matcnes and many a man who used
"Old Nig", as it is called, carried the
turkey home with him.
The gun Is fifty-nine inches long
ana nas a barrel forty-three Inches
In length. It has the same lock stock
and barrel which it had at Bunker
Hill but it has been rebored for use
as a shotgun and has been- made Into
a' cap gun instead of a flintlock. The
tallow and patch box Is still in the
stock. The tallow was used to grease
the balls and the patches to wrap
them before they were rammed down
Into the gun.
The Slate Historical Society has
two other old guns of Interesting ap
pearance but of a history less famous.
It also has a pair ot revolvers which
were carried during the Civil War by
MaJ. Emory Foster of the Union army.
They are six-shooters and muzzle
loaders of such a length and solidity
of construction that their use as clubs
looks to be as deadly as their use as
firearms.

interests that own and control the gins
and cotton oil factories.
Missouri has already set the prece
dent in the establishment of co-operative,
farmer-owned cotton gins. Dur
ing the past, few months the New Ma
drid County Farm Bureau, with the
co-operation ot the College ot Agricul
ture, organized one of the first co

Xo Trace Found of Joe Clark, Misting
Two Days.
No trace of Joe Clark, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Richard Clark, 612 Mount
Vernon avenue, who disappeared from
his home Tuesday night, has been
found, according to the authorities.
Prosecuting Attorney George Starrett
said this afternoon that he had had no
word from Chief ot Police John L.
Whltesides, who went to St. Charles
yesterday afternoon In search of
Clark. Fire Chief Tom Walden and
policeman W. R. Miller who went to
Gordon's Lake yesterday afternoon re
ported that there was no evidence
that Clark had attempted to drown
himself.
Joe Clark Is 22 years old. When
he left home he was wearing a bine
cotton shirt, blue overalls, an old gray
felt hat, and heavy-soled shoes. He
Is of medium height, has light hair
and fair complexion. Joe has suf
fered from, epilepsy and It Is feared
that his mind may have become un
balanced.
Sunday he decided to go to St.
Louis to visit an uncle. His parents
tried to persuade him not to go. He
went to the Wabash station to bny
a Ucket but the agent knew ot his
physical condition and refused to sell
him a Ucket.
Tbe boy was angered because of
this and determined to go on any
way. He started on toot. His parents
went to Centralis In a car and then
brought him home. Monday the boy
seemed angry because his plans had
been thwarted. He tied some wire to
a rafter In an outbuilding and tried
to hang himself. The wire was too
long to draw his body from the ground
but as It tightened It might have
choked him had his mother not heard
his groans and cut the wire.
Tuesday night the boy said that he
was going for a walk. His father fol
lowed for a time, but later gave up
and went home, expecting the boy
to return. In the morning the police
were notified.
