We have had the pleasure of examining a fine and costly sabre which with the belt complete, the good people St. Joe have presented to Lieut. Col. Cox of this place. Its whole history is told by the following which is the inscription on the scabbard:
Presented to Lieut. Col. S.P. Cox,
The officer who whipped Thrailkill and Killed Bill Anderson the Bandit. By his friends in St. Joseph Missouri. Nov. 25, 1864
