HYMN Of the Alamo.

July 8 viii be Alamo day at the Chau
tauqua, and Hon. Seth Shepard viii de
liver the Grafton, md tho Monumental as
ISOLATION will have the karporama Of the
Alamo, prepared for the Spring Palace. on
the grounds. "Tho Hymn of The Alamo, :
by Potter, will be sung by large number
of tho the most talented singers in the
state. We give the hymn below. II seems
to have been modelled after the Marseillaise-
"Rise! man the wall--our clarion's blast
Now sounds It's final revoille--
This jawning morn must DO the last
Our fatod band shall ever see.
To life, but not to hope, farewell.
Your trumpets clang and cannon's poal,
And storming shout, and clash Of steel
Is ours, but not our oountry's knell.
Welcome the Spartan's death
'Tis no despairinG strife
We fall-we debut our expiring
breath
Is freedoms breath Of life.
Here on this new Thormopyl@
Our monument shall tower on high,
And alamo" hereafter be
On bloodier fields the battle cry"
Thus Travis from the rampant cried:
And when his warriors saw the foo
Like whelming pillows move below,
At once each dauntless heart replied;
"Weloome the Spartan's death
IT'S no despairing strife
We fall--we debut our expiring
breath
IL froedom's breath Of life!"
They come-like autumn leaves they fall,
Yet hordes on hordes they onward rush,
With cory tramp they mount the wall
Till numbers the defenders crush.
The last was felled the fight to gain;
Well may the ruffians quake to tell
How Travis and his hundred foil
Amid thousand foemen slain.
They died the Spartan's death,
But not in hopeless strife;
Like brothers died-and their expiring
breath
Was freedoms breath Of life.

The killing Of ]. II. purleson.


We will give some of the later particulars
OF this deplorable event. which was an
nounced in our last issue. II seems that
Mr., Burleson had some serious grievance
hgainst Foltz, who killed him. and a young
man named Poston. They had both resid'
cd In Burleson's neighborhood but had gone
to the scene of the killing some time before,
Burleson went down there the evening pre-
vious to have. as his friends allege, an ami
cable settlement with young Poston. Tho
fact that bo stopped over night with the
father OF Poston, fayors this statement
Young Poston, hearing OF his presence, alb
sented himself. The killing was done by
Foltz, early the next morning. The fol-
lowing passage from special to the San
Antonio Express appears to be q fair and
correct statement
Foltz was In the hog pen feeding corn to
tho hogs when Burleson came up to him.
Exactly what words passed between them
1t is impossible to learn. Foltz's friends
claim that he did the shooting in self-de-
Tense, while Burleson's ftiends don't be-
lieve that such Ia the case. Both were
armed and If Burleson intended to do any
shooting he never succeeded, as the two
shots from Foltz's pistol were the only ones
fred. One of the shots struck Burleson In
the face the other IN the side, causing al
most instant death. Foltz made no effort
to escape and was arrested two or three
hours afterward near the place where the
shooting was done.
Foltz was sent to jail at Lockhart, but Is
now out on bail. Burleson's funeral took
place at the family cemetery near Kyle and
was largely attended by relatives and
friends.
There was no man better known in Hays
county, and but few more highly respected
than Joe Burleson. He was citizen Of
twenty-five years standing, and had faith
fully served the people in official positions
of trust. He had been president of the
Hays county Farmers Alliance from the
beginning and held that position at the time
of his death. He was staunch friend Of
temperance. He no doubt had his faults,
and misdeeds like other mortals. but we be-
lieve that his general record was that Of
good, patriotic citizen. In the troubles
which led to his untimely end 1--WE say un-
timely, for 1t is stated he was but Go years
old and should, in the natural order Of
things have been good for ten years more
of useful and comfortable life) they who
know best are satisfied that he was ''more
sinned against than shining" Such is our
decided conviction. He was killed by an
enemy, and if we are not misinformed, in
the presence of another. We have only
their testimony as to what transpired-Joe
Burleson has no one to tell his side Of the
story. His friends will be slow to believe
that he played the part he Is reported by
his deadly foes to have done on that occa-
sion. 1t is an unreasonable story. We be-
leve there is much, very much. yet behind
the curtain in this bloody climax and the
circumstances which led to it. We earn
estly hope that the hidden things of dark
ness may be brought to light the truth
be revealed and justice be melted out to all
concerned.
