recent
Ramsey related the following interesting historical
Vista Captain data
1 had marched from Monclova Mexico under command of General Wool
We
rmy had already achieved great glory at Palo Alto and Reseca de la
in the capture of Matamoros the storming of the bishops palace at Mon
that
ind the capture of city
Oar army under General Wool had not seen any actual fighting and we were
for a scrap Wools entire command was composed of raw recruits and
te s first and Second Illinois an Indiana regiment a Mississippi regiment
r Jefferson Davis a cavalry regiment from Arkansas and Braggs artillery In
le had 4445 ncn against Santa Annas 22000 veteran soldiers On the cven
General Taylor arrived from
0f February 20 1846 Monterey and assumed
nana The flower of his army had been sent to reinforce General Scott who
from Vera Crur Santa
advancing on the capital Anna had determined to crush
remainder of Ta > lors forces especially those under Wool advancing through
north We had
mountain parses from the falling back through the moun
before Santa Annas
for t o or three da > s overwhelming advance When
checked and
lor armed we were immediately turned in the direction of the
the of the 21st our regiment moved out towards the Mexicans
ray On evening
battle With the of
ng viay in line of light skirmishing there was little
t on the 21st
Just at dusk General Taylor rode along the ranks of his little army seated upon
which has often been
famous white charger mentioned in history He said to
hcompany Boys you must fight like h 1 tomorrow If we are captured we will
none be murdered
daylight on the of the 22nd that the
It was Just at morning Mexicans ad
ced Colonel Bowles regiment the left wing of the army gave way on the
t onset and several regiments swung around our flank and succeeded in getting
our rear Our lieutenant colonel Morrison seized the flag from our mortally
andtd color bearer waved it aloft and shouted to us to rally round the flag We
time Davis rallied
led and at the same his Misstssippians and we
rjed througW the living wall towards the rear We finally cut our way through
he main body We fell behind a stone building which 1 found was still standing
the battlefild when I visited it last week Here we made a stand and the other
inentJ ably assisting we drove the enemy back This ended the fight until
rncon
The ball was again opened by the First and Second Illinois about 2 p m mak
a charge In this charge Colonels Hardin and Bell were killed We advanced
the Mexican lines and there were ordered to retreat Falling back the Mexi
u greedily snapped up the bait The charge had only been made to draw them on
in behind Braggs artillery it opened with furious fire The
iastte fell a Mcxi
is scarcely flinched but advanced to the very mouths of the guns which were
iirg forth like a volcano We poured in a destructive musketry fire at the
re time but the Mexicans manifested the most heroic courage We finally had to
b with our muskets and then with what losses sustained in the advance and
r stubborn resistance they began wavering
A little more grape Captain BraggI yelled Taylor and they got the gTapr
jy broke and fled The slaughter had bcen something awful The moment the
it commenced we leaped forward in pursuit We followed Santa Annas army
forty miles but met with no further resistance It had been driven from Buena
sU in headlong flight and I suppose was not rallied again until it confronted
stt in the march to Mexico City
Early in the fight young Clay son of Henry Clay of Kentucky an officer of the
etal staff was killed He was greatly beloved by the army and was as brave a
1 as ever wore a sword
THE LONE GRAVE
In addition to the interest which always attaches to the recital of the story of
coming of the first settlers of a locality there is rmlch of romance surrounding
matter The simple annals of the brave and hardy pionecers who came to
us and loated an what is now Ellis county to carve out new homes for them
es dates back only about sixty years but time is fast removing all who took part
the early scenes
There is nothing more interesting in the history of the early settlement of a
v country than the legends and traditions that connect us with the past of long
rt jears when other feet besides the white mans traveled the hills and dales of
s lovely county
A fe i mljtfirom this city there is a little mound near the banks of the Waxa
chie creek nu chas not been disturbed by the advanced civilization of the white
in In this little mound rest the remains of one of the fairest daughters of the
isla a Indians a hostile tribe that once inhabited this county She had been
sotd and won by a young brave belonging to Chief Piacidios tribe and ere the
seymoon had ended the young bride was stricken with fever and chills Nothing
at the young husband could do could stay the grim monster and she wasted away
4 in a few months died No pen can picture the stolid distress and grief of the
ins husband and lover He buried her lifeless body in a lovely spot near the
eelcs bank where the rippling water and the songs of the birds at all times
inldthant the requiem to his departed love He held nightly and daily vigils over
r crave until nearly exhausted by famine when he would go away but to return
the sad memento of his grief The lone grave was not long forgotten by him
d no matter the distance he would return to the lonely spot and hold sad com
nion with the departed
In the courc of time he joined a hostile band of the Comanches and drifted fur
er west to fight against the white mans invasion and in a fierce battle he was
rielcen down but it seemed that his spirit still kept vigil at the lone grave and
cording to an old legend often at night when a late passer chanced along the
ghway there could be seen the silent sentinel standing at the spot where the Indian
aiden rested The grave is now overgrown with tangled wildwood and has long
see been forgotten and the spectral visitor has not been seen for jears

MISPLACED SYMPATHY
A Post correspondent was recently in that section of Texas which is further
on a railroad than any point in the United States on the Great Staked Plains
t it requires a weeks trip to get a load of wood and two weeks for a load of
Tien leaving this country a drive of twentyfive miles was made in the early
orning before reaching a house for breakfast The house was a half dugout
e kome of a young couple from Central Texas who bad been living there about
u jears While the house was scrupulously clean it was lacking most of the
ajenienccs of life and many of the necessities The furniture consisted of two
> a bed without sheets or pillow cases a bacon box covered with domestic for a
user overhung by a mirror of six by eight inches in dimensions There was no
noting no wallpaper no bricabrac
A sweetfaced young woman was cooking the breakfast with one hand and
wing 4 baby with the other arm Beside the faces and demeanor of the couple
only evidences of refinement were photographs of some good looking people in
ha silver frames and a stack of Cosmopolitans and McClures
A cr eating the lady was handed 50 cents for the breakfast and she stated that
e meal was worth but 25 cents and asked the traveler if he did not hae a

CURED BY IMMERSION
Jake Smith and his outfit had been shipping cattle from Baird They had worked
all day Saturday and almost nil of Saturday night About 3 oclock Sunday mottl
ing they loaded the last car Tired cold and hungry they went by a saloon and got
enough whisky to warm up on and then went out to their camp which was on a
small creek near the town Jake felt weary and wrapping his blankets about him
lay down and was soon fast asleep He awoke to find himself sailing through the
nir into a tenfoot pool of water Swimming out he said nothing for even the
Boss must take what comes when the bojs are 111 a rollicky humor
In turn each of the sleepers was treated to an ice bath About the time the last
man was crawling out on the bank of the creek and just as the sun was rising a
stranger came riding over the hill to he camp and inquired if they had seen any
thing of a small black pony Yes sir replied Jake hes out thcie with the bosses
Git down and warm and the Ivys will get him tor you The stranger nltRlitcd but
had no sooner touched ground than a stalwart cowboy walked up to each side of
him and catching him by the arms started to the creek with him singing as they
went Amazin grace how sweet the sound Whrn they reached the creek they
caught him by the slack of his troineri and in he went He rose to the surface and
swam to the bank Sitting there he calmly survejed the crowd and remarked
Gentlemen is this thing customary in this country
Yes its customary a Jake s reply We will teach you to hunt bosses on
Sunday The stranger mounted his horse and roile off with the water sloshing out
of his boot tops while Jake led in the song There were ninety an nine
PROFIT IN ANIMALS
Colmesneil has an industry that is unique and it elicits interest and patronage
from all parts of the Union About four years an enterprising young farmer resid
ing near town decided to combine with his agricultural pursuits that of a side line
which he designated as his department of natural history specimens He gathered
about him a collection of animals fowls insects rocks ores etc native to this
section and is now raising ground squirrels flying squirrels wood mice rabbits
birds etc and is doing quite a paying business in selling and shipping specimens of
his collection to people interested in such things Not until early lait year did he
begin soliciting patronage for this department which he did by placing advertise
ments in Eastern papers devoted to natural history During the jcar just ended
he received orders mostly from the New England States and some from Canada
his shipments during the year netting to him about 500
Among the shipments made by him were a number of chameleons or green liz
ards ground squirrels wood rats both live and taxidermized birds minks wood
bugs or beetles butterflies bird eggs and spiders including a tarantula
The catlier process of acquiring small animals and birds was that of trapping
but this was uncertain and slow and the young man now has a regular museum of
pet animals and is raising them by the score of several kinds His business in tln < s
line is rapidly growing and because of its lucrativeness and I113 pleasure in it
threatens to overshadow his agricultural ambition It is also an excellent object les
son in turning to good account an opportunity unthought of and unseen by others
