CLOSE DEAL. FOR
LIGHT WITH
MURPHY
Grand Forks Gas and Electric
Company to Furnish City
With Juice.

At the meeting of the city council
held last evening, several matters of
Importance were considered. The
proposition of Thomas Roycraft to the
city to furnish election light was
adopted. The proposition is about as
previously published in the Evening
Times, only few minor changes being
made. As soon as necessary wires are
strung, the city will again have light,
and the citizens will again have the
use of the electric lighting fixtures.
which for the last month or so have
not been doing business. The Grand
Forks Gas and Electric company will
furnish the city with electricity. the
city in turn to deal it out to the con-
sumers.
Attorney H. A. Bronson went before
the council, and claimed that there
was much gambling being done in the
City. He claimed that on DeMers, a
number of bawdy houses were being
conducted over saloons. Inasmuch as
the administration had been elected ON
a reform ticket, he said that this con-
dition should not exist. In a resolu-
ton presented to the council, but on
which no action was taken, it was
advocated that no saloon license be
granted to any person who allows
gambling place to be run in connection
with the saloon.
The applications for saloon licenses
were granted, with the exception of
that of ]. Angus Wood, which was laid
over till the next meeting.

posted. He was prepared for, battle.
The scouts reported that the enemy
would soon be in sight. and scarcely
had this report been made when Santa
Anna opened with his brass ~
FOUNDER, which was promptly an
swered with telling effect by the
Twin Sisters"
Houston ordered reconnaissance
in force on the evening of the goth,
under the direction of Colonel Sher-
. man, and sharp skirmish ensued.
The enemy withdrew and took his
position. and the operations for that
day closed. During the night Santa
Anna threw up rough breastwork
of packs and baggage. with open space
in the centre for his 12-pounder.
Before the great battle of the next
day began. General Houston ordered
Deaf" Smith, his trusted and most
reliable scout. to take two men and
cut down and burn Vinces bridge over
Sims Bayou. This bridge was the
only way of retreat, as the Bayou was
not fordable. and the banks nearly
perpendicular. The bridge was de-
stroyed, and Smith and his two COM
panions got back in time to take part
in the fight.
Texas was to be lost or won that
day, and Houston did not doubt, al
though greatly inferior in number to
the enemy. that he would succeed.
His men were fighting for home and
country, and were nerved to their
utmost endeavor by Santa Annals
butchery at the Alamo and Goliad.
and he had implicit confidence in his
men. and they in him.
The Mexican army was annihilated
in eighteen minutes. Remember the
Alamo" was the cry of the Texans as
they received the enemy's fire and ad-
vanced within point-blank shot before
a piece was discharged from their
lines. But two of General Houstons
men were killed and % wounded, six
of them mortally. The enemy's loss
was $50 killed and 20S wounded
More than 700 Mexican prisoners were
taken, among them President General
Santa Anna and the most of his
officers. Many of the Mexicans were
killed or drowned at the place where
the Vinces bridge had been destroyed.
Four stand Of colors and all the Mexi-
can camp equipage. stores and bag
gage were taken.
In eighteen minutes the battle was
gained and a nation born. Houston
was severely wounded, and his horse
shot under him. yet he never left the
field till the battle was over and the
victory complete.
By act of the state legislature the
battlefield of San Jacinto has been in
part preserved in a reservation sacred
to the memory of the heroes of that
day and the cause of Texan independ-
ence. Now it is proposed to purchase
an additional tract of land opening
the entrance to the park from the
historic bayou and in so doing pre-
serve for Texas something more than
an inaccessible monument to the tradi-
tons of a day that is past.
