Place Where Col. Crittenden and
Men We're Buried, Found.
They We're Shot by spanisrds Fifty
two Years Ago in
Cuba.
CRITTENDEN's LAST WORDS

An inquiry started by former Ken
tuokian, Mr.. Isaac T. Sturgeon, now
OF st. Louis, has led to the discovery
of the place Of interment Of Colonel
william,L u. Crittenden and his follow
ers, who 80 years ago were put to
death in Cuba by the order of the Span
ish captain general, Jose de Ia Concha.
Colonel Crittenden, who was men,
Der Of the distinguished Kentucky
family of that name, organized COM
pany of Kentuckians and Joined Cen
eral Lopez in Cuba during the revolu-
tion OF thst time against Spanish rule.
Theodore o'Hara, who became famous
by writing The Bivouac Of the Dead"
also Joined General Lopez. He es-
capped with 200 men, taking vessel
and reaching the coast OF Florida in
safety, though holly pursued by the
Spaniards. The venture proved ILL
starred, and shortly after joining the
insurgents Colonel Crittenden, with a
considerable portion OF his men, were
cut of from the Cubans and were tax =
en- prisoners by the spaniards.
General La Concha ordered every
American shot. The men were led
out in squads Of ten, required to kneel
and were then shot in the back. Col
onel Crittenden and one Of his officers
were reserved for the last. When his
turn came Colonel Crittenden refused
90 kneel or turn his back. saying
proudly. "A Kentuckian kneels only
to his God and faces his enemy al.
ways" With no bsndage over his
eyes ne stood erect and received the
charge. The bodies of the heroic men
were mutilated by the rabble, who pa.
raded Havana with the arms and legs
Of the victims on poles.
The bodies were finally given . rude
burial, but the friends of the men have
never until recently been able to ascer.
tain the exact location.
Mr. Sturgeon. who, during his resi-
dence in Kentucky and later life in
Missouri, has been a close friend of ev'
cry member Of the Crittenden family
has never wearied Of his efforts to To-
cate the spot where the Kentuckian'
lie. When he learoed of their execu
tion by the Spanisrds he called pub
lie meeting in st. Louis, which was
addressed by many prominent citizens
of this country. including Governor
Reynolds, Of Illinois. Great indigna.
ton was expressed at the cruelty Of
the Spani.rds. When the Cubans final
ly attained their independence Mr.
Sturgeon determined to renew his
efforts to find the body of Colonel Grit
tenden. and accordingly directed {
communication to the state department
asking them to institute inquiries.
letter to Mr. Herbert G. Squiers, en-
voy extraordinary and minister pleni
potentisry Of the United States il
Cuba, from Secretary Carlos de Zal
do, of the department of state and
Justice, states that data furnished by
the Bishop of Havana shows that tbs
bodies of Crittenden and his follower
were inferred on the brow of the hill
Castillo de Arteries. The CUBAN au
thorities will make further investiga
tion and supply Mr.. Sturgeon with al
the information obtainable.

rsti"ed from the board of County
Commissioners and NJ. Fred
Weymueller assumed the duties for
a three years We. m.
1t can tfuthfdlly be said that
Mr.. KIeinsmith has made one Of
the best County nissioners
Hooking ever had. In the first
place he is man of ability, pos
sessing thorough knowledge of
Building and coast action of public
work. With this ability he is
gifted with disposition to be
ccreful, and with care'ulness he is
endowed with that most noble of
virtues, honesty. No qualification
is more necessary in pCblic Office
than honesty, and the new Com
missioner, NJ. Weymueller, is the
embodiment of truth and honesty.
No man can say to the contrary.
Mr. Weymueller goes Into Office
with the full confidence of our
people, and in the midst of pull
and haul CT clamering people, he
will be found going along in the
straight path, doing his duty as he
sees it and he will be able to sup
port his opinions.
Mr.. Weymueller goes into Office
associated with two pleasant gen
tlemen, Strentz and West. Mr..
Strentz was elected chairman of
the present board, and Mr.. Wey-
mueller, after receiving a state
ment from the Auditor as to the
condition of the funds, and what

to his colleagues, saying that they
are all now brothers of one family,
