creed and benediction 0 another interesting collec tion piece is a sawed off musket dr paul dates this one at around 1740 it was one of those used in the now famed indian raid on fort miclulimackinac in that vear do you remember in our canadian history the raid when the indians were pla ing a seeminly innocent game of la crosse outside the fort with the squaws as onlookers when one of the braves threw the ball ovei the walls of the fort rushing in to re trieve it they ran past their squaws who handed them the guns they had been hiding under their shawls these guns had been sawed off so thev would escape detection the armed warriors were thus enabled to take and capture the fort in contrast to the musket with the end saw off is the old hudson s bj trade gun with a particularly long barrel the reason for the length of the barrel is obvious when vou realise that these guns were stood upright to measure quantity of fur skins neccssar before the in duns could barter or trade anothei gun in the collection which has historical appeal is an old musket which was used in the ken lan raids it belonged to dr paul s grandfather it is the bayonet type still another recalling events in can adian histor is a mark 1 enfield used in the north west rebellion 0 other prized items in the col lection are an indian trade axe which incidcntallv was found in a local garden and an indian ham mer dr paul also has a perfect flint indian arrowhead it is perfect l notched an art which we can not master today another lost art is the plating of gold on steel this work could be seen on an old macedonian knife which dr paul obtained when he was medical oflicer with the tothian and border horse regiment on the plains of langaza he has several other interesting pieces collected while he vas siving in the hast in addition to a tuhm machete and a kns from mahv 0 i asked him whit one odd looking speciman was and he explained it was a german bomb fi oin the 1st world war call ed i potato masher and it did look fur all the world like- one n otlie r quilt different looking gun was called a pepper pot because thi whole birrtl revolves just like vou grind pepptr in a pepper grin der mong the collection of earl rifles are two old kentuckv squirrel rifles w hich we re converted from flintlocks to hammer dr paul also has quite a number of old muzzle loader dating from 0 to 100 ears ago there w ere none made after the j ear 1900 also dating well back is his collection of powder and shotgun horn pouches quite a unique item in i ho collection is a wolf trap of the tvpe used by trappers in the early 1800s it is made of iron to hang from the branch of a tree accord ing to an article in a recent maga zinc there are onlj one or two of these left in existence as with all true collectors dr paul is still interested in acquiring new items or i should say old items for his collection searching for them need not take him too far from home the area around geor getown has yielded up many ancient
