scriDted into the rebel army in 1881 and
serving in the Texan Rangers, part of
the time ss MagTuder's aid. Up TO six or
L. mhnU ha unaha II his
mind to escape into Mexico with sixty or
seventy of his comrades. Before leaving
he exchanged $1,000 Of Confederate money
for $40 in gold, while his compan-
ions were paying 500 IN Confederate
money for & pound of tobacco.
Hall tells that Sam Houston, under
whom he served in 1861, was true Union
man at tho time of his death and before.
The rebellion so preyed on his mind IS to
hasten his death, and especially the fact
that his son was one of the chief rebels.

few of these are artillery or regulars, the
rest are known ss rangers, and are general
