Major I,evlin, United States army, had

was most amiable gentleman and had
made himself very popular among the Cit

learned that Colonel Devlin had been Or
dered to Portland, Or. AS soon as the
date of his departure was made known
several prominent citizens made up their
minds to tender Colonel Devlin fare

called for the purpose of soliciting sub
scriptions, and this matter, - well as the
other arrangements, was placed in the
hands Of Fritz Bender, German resident,
who went around with subscription list.

The complimentary banquet was grand

Alamo city was present. The banquet con-
sisted Of eight courses. When the third
course, which consisted Of fish and oysters,
was brought in, Fritz got up and in his
deep voice said:
