Haller or |r ervtdn snort al fe McClellan Buried Field Piece ENUMCLAW, Nov, 8-—numclaw antiquartana, whenever they have « day off, are searching the wert slope of the mountains north of Natchez Pasa, looking for a “disappearing” cannon buried by either Lieut. Haller or Lieut. (afterwards general) George B. McClellan, about the middle of the last century ‘Thia legendary cannon reappears and disappears in the vicinity of Blip. pery creek. At least, Ite discovery has been frequently reported, but when teams are sent to haul ft’ tn, it i again missing. “The finding of that cannon has been reported to me a doren tines,” |enid Theextore N. Haller, Seattle law: yer, owner of the Haller bailding, and son of Lieut. Haller, to an Enum. claw resident recently, “but It al ways vanishes.” Army records show that during an Indian uprising in the middle ‘60's Lieut. Haller dashed out of The Dalles with a fighting troop of regu: lare and a brass cannon, but meet- tng superior forces of the red aking, be was compelled to dash tack, hurriedly burying the artil tery. Afterwards, he returned with more soldiers, and subdued the In- diana, but the cannon was never re covered. This Indian war, however, oo curred on the other side of the moun- taing, and the theory that the can non could have gotten no far from its original hiding place as ts often reported is not generally considered very probable here. Old eottionn say, however, that they are sure MoClelian, tn an Indl an disturbance at a little later date, on this side of the mountains, brought another brass cannon, and under somewhat similar circum. stances, burted It somewhere around Greenwater, eneo in thelr standards of ttving, much more than is found between tha two nationalities in the city.
