W/m.Moreland, 491Penna Ave HOLTMAN’S OLD STAN WILL HONOR CUSTER | MENT TO ITS SOLDIER HERO. Famous Cavalry Leader Was Born in Ohlo, But Always Regarded Wolverine Village as His Home. Monroe, Mich.—Though he was per- haps the most famous soldier who has ever called Michigan his home, there. is as yet, 31 years after his ders of the state to Gen. George A. Custer. To remedy this the citizens of Mon- roe are now agitating the erection of a handsome monument to this dash- ing cavalryman who, from his later boyhood, always looked upon Monroe as his home. Though Gen. Custer was born in Ohio and though his parents contin- ued to live there, with the exception of one year, Custer himself went to school at Monroe and spent much of his time there with his sister, Mrs. Reed, who had married a Monroe man. His appointment to the military academy at West Point was given was always to Monroe that he re turned for his furloughs during his academy course as well as on his later leaves of absence during the war. There he was married to Miss Libbie Bacon, daughter of Judge Ba- con, one of the most prominent of the town’s citizens, and there was the sorrow greatest when the dread news came on that Fourth of July of cen tennial year of the annihilation by the Sioux under Sitting Bull of th gallant general and his whole com mand of the Seventh cavalry on the Little Big Horn in Montana, eight days previous. Since that day the federal govern- ment has made the site of the “last battle” a national park, marked the route of the Seventh’s last march, and erected a handsome monument on the site where Custer himself fell. But Michigan, on gvhose name he shed luster by his command of the “Michigan brigade” during 1863 and 1864, has done nothing toward pro- viding a memorial to his deeds. satisfachun « cafe thing in price usually lack style or comfort because of the exceptional attention bee) stowed on the making.

His ex- the whole north and that of the south as we and his generalship during the closing campaign which ended in the surrender of Appomattox left him with the highest individval fame as a cavalry commander of any man, ither northern or southern, with the ingle exception of Phil Sheridan.

The citizens of Monroe have taken up in earnest the matter of a monu- ment to be erected in the city of his adoption and will probably go to the legislature with a request for asgsist- ance in raising the money necessary, which it is figured will be about $25,- ter’s success was as great d in not a si ail, except in the the time by Custer’s frien 3 ~ 1000.

Springfield, I—“This money has (been hurting my conscience for more it was Custer and his “Michigan brigade” that during the civil war restored the cavalry arms to the place it had occupied in the days of Napo- leon, when the dashing cavalry charges at Murat were an important factor in almost every battle. Appointed brigadier general when but two years out of West Point for gallantry in small actions as an of- ficer on the staff of Gen. Pleasanton, commanding the cavalry corps of the Army of the Potomac, Custer was as- signed to the “Michigan brigade,” composed of the First, Fifth, Sixth j and Seventh Michigan regiments of cavalry. At time the cavalry was rather looked down upon by the other branches of the service, but the tactics of Custer and his “Mich- igan boys” soon changed all this. In- stead of depending upon the carbine, as the cavalry had done in the civil war up to that time, Custer placed his trust in the saber and in the effi- ciency of the sweeping mounted charge to dismay his enemy. That the cavairy came to be looked upon as an effective force from that time on was due as much to Custer and his actions as to any other single in- fluence. For a year he commanded the * Michigan brigade and then was ad- vanced to the command of the Third than six months, and I am glad of an opportunity to refund it.” ‘With these words, a man the other day tendered $4.75 to John H. Lord, city passenger agent of the Illinois Central. He explained that it was in payment for a ride which he had taken last July from Chicago to Springfield on a borrowed pass. The matter, he said, has been troubling his conscience ever since, and he finally concluded the only thing to do was to turn over the money to the railroad company. After a little questioning he gave his name as T. E. Timmus, but de- clined to say who the holder of the pass was or what occasioned his re- pentance. Mr. Lord was somewhat at a loss as to what to do with the money, but finally accepted it‘and gave the man a receipt for.the amount. He has re mitted it, with an explanatory letter to the general passenger agent of the road at Chicago. The city passenger agent of the Chi cago, Peoria & St. Louis railway re. ceived a communication from a man in Kansas City, asking the amount of the fare from Pekin to Granite City He stated that he had stolen a ride over that route, and his conscience had troubled him so much ever since that he wan-ed to pay the fare. on ee z 3 ploits there attracted the attention of |; New Holland, has several strands of | S ago by a/ PENITENT PAYS FOR FREE cess) Gives Railroad Price of Ticket He| NEW YORK AND WASHINGTON CANDY KITCHEN, 1614 14th street, N.
