Historical San Antonio.

San Antonio is full of historical
interest, is the largest city in the
state, Isl health resort and attracts
thousands of visitors every year.
The founding of the city goes back
/ 100 years before the Revolutionary
war ard eight battles have been
fought within her gates or not
far away. It was here that Davy
Crockett and band of heroes were
besieged by an army of Mexicans
under Santa Anna and after siege
lasting eleven days every soldier
was killed. The Texans were in a
mission church known asthe Alamo
and after they all fell were burned
and their ashes scattered to the
winds. The missions, the cathedral,
the palaces, the parks and the
| plazas, make the city a most in
terestiug one TO the visitor. The
streets are narrow and crooked as
in Boston, being so made that it
might not be possible to shoot
through the streets. Eight flags
have waved over the walls of
San Antonio but the proudest boast
of the citizens is that they reside in
the largest city, in the wealthiest
county, in the greatest state in
the grandest country in the world.
The people in the south do not
call the city San Antonio nor San
An-tone but San Tone. Short
words do not need so much energy.

And is Killed.
(From Thursdays Daily.)

Frank Haynes of Lancaster NH.
came to his death, today forenoon
as the result of trying to steal a
ride on freight train No. 581 going
out of Baraboo. Just as the car
to which he was clinging reached
the south end of the depot, he at
tempted to change his position and
fell to the ground. His left arm
and shoulder rested on the rail with
his body outside the track. The
arm was cut off and the shoulder
was badly crushed. He was car
ried to the baggage room where
four physicians were summoned and
administered aid. He was placed
upon stretcher and taken to the
Wisconsin House where he died
about fifteen minutes after his al
rival as a result IF the loss of blood
and the shock.
Koenig or Haynes (he gave both
names) was about thirty years of
age. He worked for Ringling Bros.
two years ago but at present ap-
peared to have no occupation. His
home was at Lancaster, N. Fl. He
had been a sailor, and in his pocket
was a $500 life insurance policy in
favor of his father.
Coroner Gibbons impaneled a jury
this afternoon of the following per-
sons: Edwin Selleck, M. L. Patter-
son, F. A. Fhilbrick, VIM. Kunzel-
man, Sam Briscoe, Will P. Silnons.

one hundred incorporated towns
there, the largest of which has

The territory is decidedly a farming
community and those desiring me-
tropolitan advantages are requested
to postpone the time of becoming

The general conversation is of corn.
