Battle Bugle Recovered

A.C. Tignor, section foreman of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company here is rejoicing over the recovery of the bugle he blew throughout the Civil War, which he had not seen in nearly forty years and considered lost to him. Tignor was regimental bugler of the Fifth Illinois Cavalry during the rebellion. When he left the army he turned in his bugle, this being one of those few articles the government would not sell to soldiers leaving the service. When Tignor gave up his bugle he had no thoughts of ever seeing it again. Great was his surprise therefore when he received the bugle by express from T. B. Packard who was the lieutenant of Co.C of the Fifth Illinois Cavalry.

A letter from Packard explained how he came into possession of the instrument after the close of the war, and that he had just learned of Tignor's whereabouts. Tignor had carried the bugle on many a battllefield, and although considerably battered there can still be drawn from it the same notes that started the sleeping regiment from its slumbers with "To Arms" or urged them forward when the thrill of "charge" was sounded on the fields of White River, Vicksburg and a score of battles in which Tignor participated
