Not Quite News

In the office of Homer C. Morrison, county clerk, there Is a table of some size, with a quarter sawed oak top, which had become darkened with the grime of years and which Mr. Morrison decided should be cleaned. The custodian of the Court House and his assistant had cleaned other parts of the furniture in that office as well as elsewhere in the large building, but did not have time to renew the youth of this one table. Mr. Morrison's plan was this and it worked: He would work on the table top himselt a while, and some attorney or newspaper man or other attache of the court house would drift in, watch Mr. Morrison awhile, and then, invariably, the caller would say:

“Homer, let me show you how to do that.” Mr. Morrison would courteously step back, release the scraper or sandpaper, and the caller would toil for maybe half an hour, advancing the job quite materially before he wore himself out. Soon afterward, another volunteer woodworker would drift in and work, and so on. The table top is now completely scraped and sandpapered and waxed and Mr. Morrison’s muscles scarcely feel the labor of the job.

Speaking of old guns in Putnam county, in the family of Miss Effrey Voliva now residing in this city there has been a flintrock musket which, according to family tradition, was used in the war of 1812, waged by the Americans against the Indians and British. Miss Voliva now has it. Miss Voliva recalls nothing of the weapon's history other than one fact. It was kept in a room in the Voliva home which contained many al tides (not ufled often,, and the room was sealed, lor that reaspn. The children, Miss Voliva says, were sometimes entertained by their father who related to them tales in which he claimed the gun had a part. There are five notches on the stock of the gun, which may be grewsome in their significance. However, if *i were ever a fatally-used gun, the marksman must have been excessively skilled in its use or else the object shot at was near at hand, because there are no sights on it, arm it is a smooth-bore, large enough, It, teriorally, to permit the insertion of a man's finger. The markings are not distinct, but there is a capital letter "R” surmounted by a tiny crown, and the letter appears elsewhere on the barrel near the lock. There also is an "X” preceded by a dim outline which may be a crown, also, or may be another letter. The letter, below the crown, may be the initial of ”Rex”, indicating the gun was property of the king. If the gun were used by the British army in the war of 1812, it ha<> service chiefly in Canada, doubtless. It may have been captured by American soldiers and brought back home with them. The flintlock itself is a cumbersome apparatus, designed to strike fire by the swift rubbing of a piece of flint, held in the hammer, doyn the roughenej surface of a steel plate, the sparks from the friction finding lodgment in the gunpowder contained in a small pan just under the flint and the steel plate. The fire from that gunpowder, if it were ignited by the sparks, was expected to find its way through the adjoining opening into the charge of powder inside the barrel itself, rammed compactly into position by the ramrod. The powder and ball, and the ramrod were insetted into the barrel at its muzzle. The muzzle of the musket is level with the axerage man's chin, if the butt plate of the stock rests on the ground at his feet.

“Hey, there’s a Guernsey bull down here on 43 directing traffic!” That was a message that came into the office of the high sheriff of Putnam county, John T. Sutherlin, in the Court House, not long ago. The sheriff and his deputy, Russell Newgent, having participated in the recent and far-famed subduing of Buckshot, the buffalo bull who went on a rampage, after escaping from the C-Lightning ranch, they felt they knew quite a bit about the true relationship between the law and male cows and what they could do about it. So when they went down to put the bracelets on the rampagious Guernsey near the A. T. & T. station, they sort of felt their way as they went, so to speak, and it was well they did so. They began by inquiring who owned the creature, and learned the identity of his owner and also learned the pleasant fact that the owner himself had talked the fugitive into a peaceful surrender. Mr. Guernsey had planted himself in the middle of the state highway anti stopped all cars that came along, inquiring closely into their rights on the thoroughfare. Some of the drivers acquiesced at once in the demand that they turn back, and others argu-
