Bloomington Illinois May 9 Perhaps the most interesting relic in the memorial hall of the state house is Gen Santa Annas cork leg captured at Cerro Gordo by Elliot of the Fourth Illinois Infantry. The leg was found in the carriage after the Mexican leader fled and was later exhibited in Washington before returning to Springfield. A roast chicken and a bag of $10000 in gold doubloons were also found with the coach and kept by soldiers and officers.
