LOST WALLET AFTER

of Oregon City, a member of Meade
Post No. 2, left the latter part ot the
week for San Diego, Cal., where he
is to spend the winter with his daugh
ter, Mrs. Dodga, a former resident of
Oregon City. Mr. McClellan, although
74 years of age, and enjoying the best
of health, is making the trip unaccom
panied, and went by steamer from
Portland. Mr. McClellan Is the fifer of
the Meade Post Drum Corps, and is
still playing the fife he used during
the Civil War, and the best of care
is given the little musical instrument
that has played many a martial tune.
This was taken by the old veteran to
California. During the Civil War Mr.
McClellan was a member of Company
G, 161st Infantry of Ohio.
A few weeks prior to the depar
ture of Mr. McClellan for California
he accidentally lost his wallet con
taining greenbacks amounting to $30.
He advertised in the papers of this
city, and his friends tried in all man
ner to assist him in finding the lost
money. After two weeks' time he had
given up finding this but on what
happened to be his lucky day, and
while waiting for the Mountain View
jitney at the Corner of Ninth and
Taylor streets he glanced to the
ground and there he spied his lost
wallet. Somewhat surprised in finding
the wallet, he was more surprised
when he found the greenbacks intact
They were somewhat damp by the
rain, but not enough to injure them
Many people had passed along that
street, but the wallet is the color of
the fallen leaves and was somewhat
deceiving. So delighted with finding
his wallet he did not take the trip
on the Jitney, but rushed to the home
of his daughter, Mrs. N. M. Alldredge,
and informed her of finding the lost
treasure.
