Hauled to His Death Bed.

The police authorities received a
message at 9 o'clock last night
from near the Southern Pacific de-
pot, conveying the intelligence that
a man was found in dying condi-
ton alone in a house. Captain
Jesse Bennett sent the patrol wagon
after the man and he was conveyed
to the Santa Rosa hospital, where
his death is hourly expected. The
unfortunate victim is Philip Hye,
who came here over a year ago
from Ell Paso in search of health,
being a cOnsumptive. His case
was too far gone, however, and he
gave up to the malady and laid
down to die. He has no money, no
home and no relatives this side of

An Old Mans Pilgrimage.

An old man visited the Alamo
yesterday and manifested great in
terest in il, so much so that tears
would occasionally furrow his rug
ged cheeks. The temporary custo-
dian, Captain Lyle, became curl
Gus, whereon the stranger said that
his name was Hickman, he was
81 years old, lived in Tennessee,
and he had come to see the place
where his poor boys were mas sa-
cred in the fall Of the Alamo. The
man spoke with an earnestness
that bore the impress of truth, to
which his tears gave supportive
evidence. But either some one had
fooled him or he was off
his base. No such name
appears upon the role of the Ala
mo martyrs nor do any know of
any one of that name then con-
nected with the building; nor is it
likely they would be, for the Ala
mo fell 81 years ago, when aSsum-
ing the old man is 81 years of age,
he would only be "a years of age,
and is hardly likely to have had
two sons old enough to handle
muskets and fight for Texas. But
they humored the old man and he
went upon his way evidently salts
fed with the result of his mission
and duly impressed with the SOL
emnity of the occasion.
