The Alumni boys. most all OF whom
had been playing this season, tried to
break Platteville's line. But after
playing five minutes Platteville held
them for downs, the ball was then
transferred to Platteville who tried
an end play which failed, due to the
frozen ground. A punt was then

Victor Galbraith.


The curious student whose eyes are
open will find much of more than local
historical interest about him. How few
there are, for instance, in Mineral
Point, Wis, WHO know that Victor Gal
braith, whom Longlellow immortalized
was once a resident Of their city. None
of the present old residents of that his
toric mining town remember him and
indeed it was not until he had been
handed down to fame by the poet be-
cause of his tragic and ignominious
death that he was recalled by his for
mer neighbors. Galbraith in his early
youth lived with his parents in Mineral
Point. He was a tailor by trade, but
was possessed of a remarkable musical
talent. which, however, proved a detri-
ment to his success at anything prac-
teal 1t made him great favorite
about the saloons and gambling houses
where he acquired a taste for drink
He possessed violent temper, and
while under the influence of liquor
would act like a mailman. In 1S43 the
family removed to Galena and it was
from this city that Galbraith was in
duced to enlist as n musician for the
Mexican war. Knowing his infirmtes
he held out long against all entreaties,
but on the captains promise to stand
by him he finally enlisted as a drummer
On the mastering out of the Galena
company Galbraith re-enlisted with a
Texas company, as buger The COM
pany mached with General Taylor
to Monterey. Gabraiths second cap
tain unlike the first had no personal
interest in the musician and when in
one of his dreaded moods the latter
threatened to shoot his officer. he was
court -martialed and sentenced to be
shot A few comrades who had known
him in his northern home were UNI
willing witnesses OF his fate. As re-
lated by Longfellow. the first volley did
not kill him, but his apparently dead
body was placed in an uncovered pine
coffin and with others awaited the hour
" burial. Before that hour, however,
to the CONSERVATION of ALL the supposed
dead hugler arose out of his coffin, and
advancing toward the soldiers, begged
piteously for drink of water. This
was given him and then in anguished
tones he cried out: Now shoot again
and make sure of your work this time"
Longfellow's grewsome picture of this
pathetic scene is:
Three bullets are in his breast and brain
But he rises out of the dust again.

The water he drinks has bloody stain:
