Tales of battles fought and blood
spilled, end memories of the greatest
war the world has ever seen were re
vived by the pick of a workman en
gaged with a gang In grading an At
lanta strati.
And now. after being burled from
eight for over forty yean, a swnnl-
Federal captain's sword—hangs In tha
office of Attorney William P. Hill of Ihe
firm of Mayaon A Hill, waiting for the
owner of the weapon‘to be found.
It wea while a force of workmen
were engaged a few ds.vs ago In grad
ing beyond Weelvlew cemetery near
Cascade avenue that thr pick of one
of the workmen struck something met
allic. An Investigation waa made and
the ew-ord was brought to light.
The blow of the pick broke scabbard
end award near the end, but besides
Ihe rotting away of the wwd around
the handle, the weapon la well pre
served. The scabbard le of copper end
resist!d ths ravages of tlmi and greatly
protected the iteel blade Inah'r.
There wee no name engraved upon
It. but the owner had scratched his
name on the scabbaid, probably with a
knife, and It Is this scratching that Is
all the clew to Its owner.
While faint Indeed. Attorney Hill Is
nblt tc discern enough tellers to make
It quite probable that Ihe owner's home
was In Fltlrburg, Pa., and the abbre
viation "Capt." Is also legible. In ad
dition llierc is - something following
which looks like H. B. or N. 8. and
the name was probably a short one.
The sword Is well made with gilt
mounting, on which Is the United
Staten coat of arms, and this Is also on
the blade, where "E Pturlbus Unum" I*
readily seen.
The eword was recovered by J. A.
Brown, and In an effort to find the
owner, If he Is atUI living. It waa turned
over t« Mr. Mill. There were no bone*
burled with the sword end this leads
to the belief that possibly the owner
waa wounded and lost Ids sword whsn
carried to the hoepltal.
Near Ihe point where the sword was
found th" battle ot Kara Church was
fought and this was a bloody fight and
a hard fought nne Mr. Hill la anxious
to ascertain whether or not any Penn
sylvania troops wen engaged !n '.his
battle, end If none of the Confederate
veterans who fought In that battle
can enlighten him he will <
with the war department.
It Is quite possible that tha
cr members of hla fondly are
and If to the eword lost on aa ,
battlefield nearly a halt- caati
would be gladly received and '
cherished aa a relic of that gf
gle, which showed 'hat no _
tlon In the world, can flght
Americans.
