! Printer, 95, Worked on ‘Reb’ Civil War Orders

William A. Musser Also Served as Soldier; Incurred Wound. William A. Musser was ' winged” by a ball of grape shot in the Civil War battle of Oak Hill at Springfield in 1860, and while fetching a pitcher of beer for his wife in Cincinnati years later, he fell and wrenched his left elbow, but the militant printer, 95 years young, still gets a kick out of life. Onp of the two oldest living members of the International Typographical Union. Mr. Musser has held a card in the printers union for 70 years. He was elected Indianapolis Union No. 1 president, in 1874, was re-elected twice and refused a fourth term. He now lives with his son. William L. Musser, at 1822 New-av. During the Civil War. Mr Muss-r was activp in the rebel ranks. Joining in 1360, he saw his first action when the “rebs” met a band of Yankees ensconced in two big barns in the battle of Cole Camp. Although. according to Mr. Musser, the Confederates won, roll call at the end of the battle showed that only 64 of the original 425 were on hand. Left Battle to Eat Fatality was not the only reason for this reduction in numbers. During the battle the captain of Mr. Musser's troops gave the command to fall back, fire, and reload. One of the petty officers misunderstood the order and he commanded his detachment to fall back, fire and retreat. They suited action to the words and Mr. Musser and the faithful 64 found the “retreaters” eating breakfast in a nearby town. During the first part of the war Mr. Musser took time of! from his military duties to print a weekly paper. But as things grew more ten.se hp packed up a small press and a special case for type, carried it, with him throughout the conflict. His duty bpcame the printing of all official Confederate orders and blanks. He was taken prisoner in Mississippi while eating corn pone and "sow belly” in a Negro's hut situated in the swamps. He invited his captor in to partake of the repast and made him his life-long friend.

A friend of mine, recently returned from China, had a tood story: It seems that representatives of leading aircraft manufacturers from all parts of the world were gathered over there to sell China the fighting air equipment she needs so badly. Crack Italian, French, German and British pilots were there to demonstrate their winged gun and bomb carriers. Close by to where the planes were being demonstrated was a Chinese flying school whose students were behaving just about the same as any flying students would in any part of the world. . , Some flopping around in the sky, some practicing landings and some who were advanced to the acrobatic stage attempting slow rolls, loops, Immelmans and all the maneuvers a budding pilot loves to strut. Each afternoon a fast singleseater, bearing the markings of a country that has been anything but friendly to china, would roar through the sky and proceed to pounce upon the nearest Chinese student. The stranger would jump on the tail of the fledgling and chase him all over the sky, sometimes riding him so hard he would follow him right down to the ground . . And in one case the youngster became panicky and crashed right on the aerodrome—whereupon the stranger zoomed in a long climbing turn and staged an acrobatic show in celebration of his cowardly victory. The crack foreign pilots fairly boiled .. . they were all experienced flying men who had earned their honors in every angle of flying . . but there was nothing they could do. The next afternoon at. about the same time the stranger again put in an appearance. The students, however. were all on the lookout for him and there was a grand scurry to get back to mother earth. But way up in the sky. apparently unmindful of the vicious menace, there was one luckless ship, clumsily trying to do a decent slow roll. Finally the stranger spotted his victim, and in a roaring dive fastened himself on the student's tail. Well I see we won’t have space enough to finish this yarn to-

William A. Musser . . . A Civil War Printer Mr. Musser was brought to a prison in Indianapolis. When released, he stayed here. His injuries gave trouble, however, and he left the city for his health, going to St. Louis in 1887. Worked for Newspapers After working in the composing rooms of several large newspapers, Mr. Musser landed a position as foreman on the Cincinnati Post. It was while working on this paper that he fell one night with a pitcher of beer meant for his wife. Injury to his left elbow enforced curtailment of activity. His travels about the country, begun when he was a lad of 14 in Knox County, Ohio, have taken him into 30 states. Cold water was poured on his primary ambition to become a steamboat engineer by his mother, and the following year he started out as a wandering printer. He went to the Colorado Springs Printers Home in 1911 where he stayed for 12 years, came to Indianapolis and has been here for 12 years. Mr. Musser was foreman of the Indianapolis News composing room when the first issue of the paper was printed in the Indianapolis Sentinel offices.
