HISTORY OF OLD FORT LEE
Consisted Merely of EsrthWorks and
Was Abandoned by Order of
General Washington.

The Fort Lee OF revolutionary days
two miles up the river from the viii
lage OF Edgewater, where the Fort
Lee ferry has its New Jersey landing.
In the strict sense of the word, 1t was
hardly worthy OF being called fort,
since 1t consisted merely of earth
works, Of which not vestige Is to be
seen today.
Tradition says that the fort was
laid out by Gen. Israel Putnam and
some of the historians thus account
for the fact that the defenses were
rather expansive for their purpose
AT first It was called Fort Constitu-
ton. but was soon renamed Fort Lee
This temporary stronghold was
really constructed to cooperate with
Fort Washington, on the New York
side OF the Hudson, in the defense Of
the river. In the. beginning II was be-
lieved that the two defenses would be
able to turn the British war feet back
and prevent IL from getting up the
river to West Point.
But from the first Washington Is
known to have questioned it's useful
ness and It was on his orders that 1t
was finally evacuated In November,
1875, all that was left Of the American
army in New Jersey abandoned the
fort and set out on It's historic retreat
to Philadelphia.
Tradition says that there was fort
under the cliff of the river front at
some point not far from Edgewater
earlier in the revolution, but there is
no authentic record Of its existence
and 1t therefore cannotbe credited.

The Cross Of Holy Rood.

For many years the miraculous cross
(Which was alleged to have saved
King David's life by interposing itself
between him and an Infatuated white
stag) was preserved In the abbey. Its
virtue. however, was tested in 1346
at the battle of Dunbar. The test
proved too much for the cross, which
fell into the hands of the enemy, who
paid 1t the respect OF housing 1t In the
cathedral near the field Of battle. 1t 10
said that the texture Of the Cross Of
Holy Rood was such that "no mortal
artiHcer could tell whether 1t was Of

Base Ball Try-Out.

All residents of this vicinity
who have an idea they can play
ball are requested to be present
at the local ball park next Sun
day afternoon when they will be
given an opportunity to show
what they can do. The best ma
terial will be selected and from
it will be chosen the men to COM
pose the team to represent Cot
tonwood this year. 1t is to be
hoped that all players will be
present at the try-out as the
manager desires to get the team
lined up and ready for practice
as soon as possible. Games are
now being scheduled and the
season will soon open. If you
want to try for a position on the
team come out Sunday.
The ball team has decided to
give a dance on Friday, April

Reubens Defeated Lewiston.

The Reubens base ball team
went to Lewiston Sunday and
took the team at that place into
camp to the tune of 3 to 2 in a
ten inning game. The defeat of
the Lewiston team is all the more
crushing when it is considered
that the team down at the twin
cities has been able to practice
ball for the past six or eight
weeks while the Reubens team
had not played a game this sea-
son and had not even got togeth-
er until they went to Lewiston.
The Lewiston team defeated the
Pullman college team at Lewis
ton a couple of weeks ago and it
was thought would have no
trouble in taking the scalps of
the jack pine savages with ease
but they retkoned without their
host.
Both teams put up a strong
game, as is attested by the low
score, but Reubens was success
full in, annexing the necessary
run in the tenth inning when
White, an Indian, made the circle
of the bases. Carr, formerly of
Grangeville, pitched for Reubens,
while Rustemeyer, of this place,
and White, of Reubens, were
held in reserve in case he should
weaken.

which carried higher rates of in
