SAM HOUSTON BUS
TORN TO PIECES
Historic Relic of Early Texas
Days Ends in a Waste
Heap.

After standing in the alley west Of
Patters9n's livery stable since 1873
the stage coach Of Sam Houston was
torn to pieces yesterday and the timber
cast IN a waste heap The Sam Hous-
ton was the victim OF city legislation,
It having been ordered moved from the
alley, but being in such q dilapidated
condition IL could not be moved The
coach was torn to pieces and another
relic of Texas days has passed into
history
II the old stage coach could talk IL
could tell OF some Embarrassing events
that would probably make the blood
and thunder" stories look Ike % cents
Mexican money. II made its first run
between Austin and Brennan in the
year 1871, when Texas was filled with
Indians and bad men. Six and eight
mules were driven 10 the old coach,
six being driven In good weather and
eight in muddy weather
In ats day the Sam Houston was
the scene OF many a fight and hold
up. The wood was marked in numerous
places with bullet holes, which were
all that remained IN history of many
of tie fights In which the coach was
the center Of battle. Guards were al
ways carried along with the coach in
the early days to prevent Indian at
tacka and hold-uDs by bad men who
wanted to rob the mail.
SoIne tine ago a movement was
start ed to have the Sam Houston pre-
served as a historic relic Of early Texas
days but the move failed to bear fruit,
and now il Is too late
The Sam Houston made its last run
from San Antonio TO Austin In 1873
II was abandoned and had to get out
Of the way, for the railroad took its
place, and now IL had to be taken out
of the alley because is was deemed un-
slightly and in the way.-Austin States
