classmate of her brother, Fred Dent,
and he saved the latter's life in the
Mexican war, carrying him wounded
out of battle at the risk of his own

after, about six years ago, gave up
| his commission and went into bust
in New York, taking up his residence
there. His and his brothers (Ulys-
ses) connection with the firm OF
Grant & Ward, the failure of which
precipitated so much distress and
harsh criticism at the time is wei
