THE MYSTERY OF THE SWORD
About 1885, Rudolph Miller, working for Stephen Cronin, plowed up on SE 1/4 of section 21 Center Township, Reno County, Kansas, USA a sword. He did not plow it up when breaking the sod but the next year when he was plowing it for the second time and a little deeper. This sword is now in the possession of Hugh Cronin (in 1969), and he writes me that it is of "Norse" design.
This is the way J. A. Fehr writes it up in his book "ARLINGTON"
Rudolph Miller, when a young man, soon after coming to the United States, while working on a farm near Partridge plowed out an old sword. This sword was of the short double-edged style as used by the Spaniards of the 16th century and may have been lost by some of Coronado's men during the adventurer's expedition into Kansas in 1541.
