A faaiore of the annn»l meet ing of ihe S»ran»c Chapter, Daujehlpm of the Rp.voln-tion, laet week, was ihe exhibit ion of »D in-ter««ting d< enment owned by Mrs. A M. Warren, a clmrter member of Ihe Chapter. Tbi* document is no less that a bill for dam-nee euitained by the occupation of Ciab Island by the G i v e r n m e o t in 1*14, »Dd made out by Caleb Nichols of Plattsburpb.

Whether the bill wan ever presented or not is uncertain, but it is of value historically as it establ ishes ihe fact that 150 men killed in the batt le , were bur;l»d In the trenches instead of 100 as wag originally supposed, a lso it give* proof that pnevoue to the battle there wae a house on the island and the land was cult ivated.

This document was published, by permis­sion of Mrs. Warren, in the Republican of N o v e m b e r 7, 1903, andl we reprint It, both as a valuable record and for its humor which is as exquis i te as it is unconscious:
