michigan the trophv apparently lay idle until 1823 when the hotel and its effects were purchased by stanley j and leslie k smith from j j suth errand who related the story of the tropfiy at this time the trophy had two small soldiers standing on each side they wore the old forage caps of the militia which suppressed the riel re bellion in 1885 raising the ques tion of whether ihe iornes took part in the rebellion as a unit the trophv was taken to st an lev smiuh s residence in ingerioll where it was kept in the basement it experienced two floods one in 1935 and later in 1948 and the two soldiers became broken off and lost mr smith wrote to the gior gelown war veterans associa lion when he discovered the rophv in 1925 he informed them of his discovery but recei ved no repv he subsequently forgot the matter until a notice of the veteran ixrne scots re union was posted onthe inger soil 1 tlinn nflletin board col sam charters received a telephone call from mr smith fndav

very substantial contribution a number of other organiza tions have also paid further in ttallments of their pledge and this helps the situation man groups are attempting to pay their pledges ahead of sched ule and in this regard anvone who has not done so is urged to review their pledge and see if it is up to date this is men tioned because at the time of the canvass a number of pled es were
