place of the house where the party was
gathered. The hostess, undismayed
hastily snatched the pies and cakes
which were provided for the guests
from the fireplace and piled them on
the bed, the only sunOccupied spot, and
the party proceeded as though nothing
had happened, although some of the
guests were compelled to remain all
night as they were unable to cross the
stream. On another occasion when
number of the ueighbors had sought
shelter in the Darlington home from
the overflow of City creek, a young
man who attempted to rescue a party
on the other bank was drowned while
attempting to swim the stream.
Captain Stanberg, who made the first
government survey of Great Salt lake,
made his headquarters at the Caring

Frances W. Darlington, who after
ward became Mrs. Zebulon Jacobs, and
whose death occurred on May 6. was
the first child born in the old house in
lS49, and five other children were born
there before the Darlington family
moved to more pretentious residence.
Almost Immediately after their mar
rage, Mr.. and Mrs. Jacobs took up
their residence in the cabin. which was
occupied by them until 1873.
Although used only as a store house
at the present time, the house stands
practically unchanged. The dirt roof
has been replaced by boards, and the
old adobe chimney which once stood
four feet above the roof, has melted
away under the attacks of the weather
until barely three inches of it are visi-
bic. The old fireplace has been re-
placed by a stove, but with these ex-
CeptiOns the house remains as it was
sixty years ago. The fruit trees and
flower beds planted by Mr.. Darlington
who was a noted fruit farmer, have re-
placed the cottonwood trees which for
merly shaded the banks of City creek.
A more pretentious residence has been
built in front of the old cabin, whose
walls resOund to the crack of the trusty
air rifle of the juvenile scouts of the
neighborhood playing pioneers, but its
,'-9's stand as firm IS when they were
first built.

In these days when d young man
starts out to secure a home for his

accounts, visits an architect and, if the
result Of his consultations is satisfac-

of home. In the days when the old

In l847 Albert Darlington crossed the

BATTLE OF SAN JAClNTO.
The Desperate Fight That HeraIded
the Dawn Of Texan Freedom,

tne lawn OF IeXan frOe00ms
On the morning of the 21st Of April,
1886, the day chosen for the battle
which was to decide the fate of Texas,
HOuston's first words had been, 1.-The
sun Of Austerlitz has risen again." He
had then called a council OF war and
asked the opinion Of his six field Off
GERS as to whether ehey should attack
the enemy or wait for the attack tc
come from them.
The fo-r senior officers strangely
counseled delay, but their arguments
did not convince Houston, who declar
ed that the hour for action had arriv
ed and plainly announced the inten.
tlon on his own responsibility to risk
a general engagement He then dis
patched Deaf Smith, his most trusty
scout, to cut down the bridge which
offered the only means Of escape tc
either army.
snake the best of your way" he had
said in his habitual tone Of kindly
friendship. "to vince's bridge, cut ii
down and burn it up and come back
like eagles or you will be too late fol
the day" And Just as the first charge
was starting horseman feeked with
foam from his painting charger had
dashed along the lines Of the patriot
army, as Houston had arranged that
he should do, calling out clearly that
all might hear, this deathknell to all
hopes of possible escape: 81 have cut
down Vince's bridge! Now, fight fol
your lives and reWember the Alamo"
The Texan army, with Houston rid
| ing at the front of the center column
| had then dashed forward against the
| Mexican breastwOrks, behind which
stood the army Of Santa Anna, drawn
up in perfect order and calmly reserv
ing its fire for short range. Their first
volley, however, by the grace Of di
: vine Providence, as the Texans declar
ed, went too high. Houston's leg wal
shattered at the ankle and his horse
severely wounded, but his columns still
advanced uninjured.
Then came the answering volley
poured into the very bosoms" of thu
astonished Mexicahs-unable to relOat
and without bayonets for the charge
The Texans had ''clubbed their mus
kets'' and dealt desperate blows, ant
finally, when they had thus battered
their way into the very center of TIN
Mexican army, they had drawn thei
murderous bowie knives and "iterall.
