Gus trains this summer have not

Not long ago this railway had a Sc

and was gratified in being able to
find Mr.. Elliot and also to receive

among historians regarding this re-
markahle incident OF the war with
Mexico Mr.. Elliot says that he en-
listed In Company b Of the Fourth
Regiment of Illinois Infantry. He
had been learning the printing trade
in Sangamon county and left his
case TO go to the front when war
was declared. The regiment did not
meet with much action until the ia
nous battle of Cerro Gordo. This
was fought on April Is, l847. In
the course of Mr.. Elliot's narrative
he describes the hasty retreat of the
Mexicans when their batteries were
attacked by the American troops
charging across the open plain. The
Fourth Regiment advanced rapidly
to the Jalapa road in which stood
the luxurious and gayly caparisoned
coach of Gen. Santa Anna, harness
ed and ready to leave. This coach,
however, had been rendered unser-
viceable by the artillery fire, one of
| the mules on which an outrider usu-
ally rode was being cut out of the
| harness as the American troops
came up. The latter noticed the Mex
leans mounting an officer upon this
mule, but they did not know unit
later that this officer was no less
