TEXANS PAY HONOR
CAPT. SAM WALKER NOT KILLED IN MEXICO
TO WRONG WAR HERO

Austin, Tex. Jan. 25.-Pioneer men
of Texas as well as others who are IA
miliar with the early and tragic history
of this commonwealth have had their
interest greatly aroused by the state
ment contained in a recent published
press dispatch from Washington, D. c.,
that Capt Wesley hardwood, who died
a few days ago in that city, and Capt
Sam H Walker, who performed a he
roic part in the Mexican war and many
of the thrilling and sanguinary con-
flicts which took place during the days
that Texas was a republic, were one
and the same man. For "a years the
patriotic people of Texas have been
Faying homage to the memory of Capt
Walker, whose bones were believed to
be lying under a monument that marks
his supposed grave in the Odd Fellows
cemetery at San Antonio. The discov-
cry at this late day that Walker was
not the real name OF the hero and that
he was not killed upon the battlefield
of Huamatana, has startled the men
who were acquainted with his early ex-
PLOTS.
Austin Man Remembers Him.
One of these surviving friends of
Capt. Walker. by which name he was
known, is Capt. W. A. Pitts. of Austin
Capt Pitts was warm personal friend

of Walker in the 40s. and fought by
his side in many battles between the
ranger and border outlaws and hostile
bands of indians.
Capt. Walker was about 20 years old
when he first appeared in Texas. and
under the name of Sam H. Walker
Joined a ranger company. For 10 years
he served in the capacity of a ranger
on the frontier. When the war with
Mexico opened he and other Texans
Joined the forces Of Gen. Zachary Tay-,
Tor and fought from the Rio Grande TO
HUamatana. He was in the battles Of
PalO Alto. Resaca de Ia Palma, Mon
terey and Buena Vista, and so far as
the historic account goes of him he
was killed at Huamatana. It was in
that battle he was last seen Among
the wounded men found upon the bat
tlefield was that of a person who, with
his expiring breath, said he was Capt.
Walker His dying request was that
his body be taken to San Antonio and
buried by the side of that of Capt Gil
lespie. While the body of this supposed
Capt Walker was so badly mutil2ted
that Identification other than his re-
ported dying statement, afforded no
means Of recognition, no suspicion was
ever aroused, until this story reached
Texas from Washington, that it was
other than the Texas hero.

who now turns out to be the late Capt
Wesley hardwood. that Walker county,
Texas is named This county was
originally named in honor of Robert J.
Walker. The latter was a native OF
Northumberland county, Pa, being
born there July %, 1901. He moved to
Mississippi in 1886. and was reelected
to the United States senate from that
state. While serving in the senate he
introduced the first resolution to recOg-
nize the independence of Texas. He
was secretary of the treasury under
president Polk and was the author OF
the Walker tariff bill which brought
in a revenue that paid fOur-fifths OF
the Mexican war debt In 1856 he was
appointed governor of Kansas 1t was
in 1876 that Walker county, Texas,
was named for Capt. Robert J. Walker.
This Walker, however, incurred the
hostility of Texas people because he
fought on the side of the union in the
civil war. Because he sided with the
,.Orth the legislature of Texas in 1868
adopted a resolution with a long pre-
GmbIe in which it was stated that no
honor shall be attached to Robert J.
Walker because of the name of Walker
county" and that this honor shall be
transferred to Capt. Samuel H. Walker,

Bones Are Reiaterred.
It was a few years after the Mexican
war that Capt. Walter p. Lane was
delegated by the state of Texas to go
TO Mexico and collect the bones Of the
American soldiers who fell in the bat
ties of Monterey and Huamatana- Capt
Lane gathered the bones in bags and
brought them overland in OK carts to
La Grange, Tex. where they were
buried on Monument Hill
Steps have been taken to learn the
details of Capt. AIarkwood's life since
the Mexican war, and if possible, to
discover among any papers he may
have left what the secret Of his disap-
pearance was. It is a story OF mystery
which would be quite unbelievable but
for the fact that the report from
Washington. declaring the identity OF
hardwood and Walker was the same,
comes from an apparently authentic
source. If upon further Investigation
this fact is absolutely substantiated the
Texas legislature will be asked to make
provision for removing the remains Of
Capt. MarkwOode to Austin and interring
them in the state cemetery.

right TO PURCHASE
GAS STOCK'ASSERTED
Washington Company, Answering Suit,
Declares 0wnership Of George
town Shares Legal.
PRICE PAID WAS sl72,Oo4

The justice of the suit instituted some
time ago by the District Commissioners
against the Washington Gaslight Com
rpany on the grounds of its ownership OF
$500 shares of the Georgetown Gaslight
Company was attacked yesterday In
the answer filed by the defendant.
1t Is held in the answer that the stock
was purchased by the Washington COM
pany between 1855 and 1895, anc tEat in
1907 the certificate was exchanged for
another. The 'company's ownership OF
the shares, has been by legislative enact
ment acquiesced in and implicitly rati-
fed and approved by Congress" Is the
argument Of the defendants attorneys.
The answer sets forth that the stock
was purchased for S172004, and that II
is worth more than that at present. The
claim as to the legality of the com
pany's ownership Of the stock is based
on the theory that the government has
tacitly recognized the ownership, and
never has made any effort to disprove
the company's right to hold the shares
II is also the contention OF the de-
fendant that at the time the stock was
acquired the Washington Gasiight Com
pany was well within its rights In buying
the stock, and that that right was
maintained by legal authorities Of the
highest standing, and was not denied.
The court is informed that in 1870
when the company executed and nego-
tiated a bond issue Of $5,2ooOoo. the pay
ment was secured by q mortgage to the
American Security and Trust Company,
conveying all the property OF the cor
poration, including the certificate for
$3.50 shares CT stock
Strict proof OF the allegation that the
washington Gaslight Company con-
trolls and manages the Georgetown Com
pany Is demanded. -
