lASAlLE COLONY SITE LOCATED
Or. BOLTON FOUND EXACT SPOT
WHERE EXPLORER LANDED.
Says History of la Sale Is Wrong
He Was Murdered on the erazos
River Near Navasota.

San Antonio, Tex-A historical dis
covery of international interest was
announced Wednesday at San Antonio
by Dr. Herbert L. Bolton OF the Uni
versity, of California and formerly OF
the University Of Texas. Just return
ing from a research expedition, DR..
Bolton said that he had exactly To-
Gated, beyond dispute, the site Of the
French colony that La Sale, the IA
nous French explorer, founded on the
shores of the Gulf of Mexico in 1888.
A question of long dispute among his
torians will now be definitely settled,
he said.
The site of the French colony is on
keeran ranch, on the west side OF the
Garcitas river, and about five miles
above its mouth. Parkman and other
historians describe the colony as hav-
ing been located on the Lavaca river.
which flows into Matagorda bay.
1t was through long research that
DR.. Bolton made his discovery. He
unearthed maps aud records Of an un-
known Spanish expedition to Mata-
gorda bay in 1890. At that time La
Salle's French colony had already
been destroyed by Indians and dis
ease. The maps, said DR.. Bolton, rep
resent the Garcitas river, the Lavaca
river, the Colorado river and other
streams Of the gulf region with start
ling accuracy.
Although the maps and descriptions
offered uncommonly good evidence Of
the existence of the colony on the site
described. Dr. Bolton personally made
an archaeological and Typographical
survey of the locality. AS a result. he
said, he found remains of the French
colony on exactly the same spot to
which the old maps and descriptions
had directed him.
In making the surveys DR.. Bolton
was assisted by Claude Keeran of San
Antonio, owner of the ranch. They
are planning to erect monument on
the site of the old colony.
DR.. Bolton claims to have evidence
for exploding another geographical
theory concerning La Sales activities
In Texas. Other historians have held
that the murder of La Sale by his
subordinates, in 1857, while he was en-
route to Canada to get aid in main
tanning his colony, took place near
the Trinity or the Neches river. DR.. |
Bolton said that he had undeniably |
proved that the murder was commit
ted on the Brazos river, near the site |
of the present city of Navasota.
"My discovery Of the exact location
of La Sales colony" said DR.. Bolton,
solves about six geographical puz-
zles. This fact is further evidence of
the correctness OF the maps and rec
ords that have found"
DR.. Bolton has gained wide recogni-
ton for his researches in the archives
of Mexico and for his corrective study
Of Southwestern history. He has 10.

FIGHTING PHIL" KEARNY.

One of the Bravest Generals Who Fell
In the Civil War.
One of the bravest generals who fell
in the civil war was General Philip
Kearny, born in New York city June
2, 1916. On March 8, 1885, he was ap-
pointed second lieutenant of the
United States dragons, the first regi.
ment of cavalry organized after the
war of 1872.
Kearny was a born cavalry officer
He was magnificent rider, dashing
and adventurous, with the courage of
a lion. In 1887 he was stationed at
Fort Dearborn, now the city of Chica-
go. Later he studied cavalry tactics In
France.
On the breaking out of the war with
Mexico he recruited a splendid troop
of cavalry, largely defraying the ex-
penses from his private purse. In
gallant charge at Churubusco he lost
an arm. At San Antonio he was bre-
vetted major for galantry. In 1851 he
resigned from the army, Travelled
around the world and settled in New
ark, N. j. In 1859 he went to France
and served under Napoleon in the
Italian war and won the cross of the
Legion of Honor at Solferino. He lived
in Paris awhile, but when the civil
war broke out joined the Army of the
Potomac. He was made a major gen
eral July Z, 1862, but was killed before
the commission reached him. He met
his death at the battle of Chantilly,
having ridden right into the enemy's
lines. His remains were removed re-
Gently from Trinity cemetery, New
York city, to the National cemetery at
Arlington, Va.
The result was that eventually Gen
eral Thomas soldiers captured the
ridge.
When General Grant saw the men
up the ridge he turned to
Thomas and said, "Who ordered those
men up?"
81 don't know, but l did not" was
his answer.
Did you order them up?" asked
Grant of Granger, who was standing
near
Not l." answered Granger. "They
started without orders But no mat
ter; when those boys get started moth
ing can stop them"

We Are Coming, Father Abraham

We are coming, Father Abraham, three
hundred thousand more,
From Mississippi's winding stream and

We dare not look behind us, but stead
fastly look before
We are coming. Father Abraham, three

REGIMENT That Grant Commanded.

A peculiar interest attaches itself to
the Twenty-firs Illinois infantry be-
cause it was Grants old regiment.
The men in that command little
thought that the stranger assigned to
them as their colonel was destined to
become the grandest figure of the
war John W. Alexander succeeded
Grant as colonel He was an officer
Of rare merit, but was killed at Chick
amauga, where the regiment lost heav-
lily, 146 Of its men being captured or
missing. Its total enrolment was
1852 men, and the total Of killed and
wounded was 374. Grant remained
in command only until Aug. Z, 1861.
The regiment served in Missouri till
May, 1862, when it Joined Buells army.

When the Cruel War Is Over
BY CHARLES c. SAWYER.

Dearest love, do you remember
When we last did meet
How you told me that you loved me,
Kneeling at my feet?
oh, how proud you stood before me
In your suit of blue
When you vowed to me and country
Ever to be true!
CHORUS.
Weeping, sad and lonely,
Hopes and fears, how vain!
Yet praying when this cruel war IL
over,
Praying that we meet again.
When The summer breeze is signing
Mournfuly along
Or when autumn leaves are falling 90
Sadly breathes the song.
Oft in dreams / see you lying
On the battle plain,
Lonely, wounded, even dying,
Calling. but in vain.
II amid the din Of battle
Nobly you should fall,
Far away from those who love you,
None to hear you call,
Who would whisper words Of comfort
who would soothe your pain?
All. the many cruel fancies
Ever in my brain!
But our country called you, darling.
Angels cheer your way.
While our nations sons are fighting
We can only pray.
Nobly strike for God and liberty.
Let all nations see
How we love the starry banner.

PLAYING THE OLD WAX SONGS.
And floats aloft our spangled flag in glory
and in pride,
And bayonets in the sunlight CLEAN, and
bands brave music pour.
We are coming, Father Abraham, three
hundred thousand more.
II you look all up our valleys where the
golden harvests shine
You may see our sturdy farmer boys fast
falling into line,
And children from their mothers knees
are pulling at the weeds
And learning how to reap and sow against
their country's needs.
And farewell group stands weeping at
every cottage door.
We are coming, Father Abraham, three
hundred thousand more
You have called us. and we're coming by
Richmond's bloody tide
To lay us down for freedoms sake our
brothers bones beside,
Or from foul treason's savage grasp to
wrench the murderous blade
And in the face of foreign foes its frag-
ments to parade.
Six hundred thousand loyal men and true
have gone before
We are coming, Father Abraham, three
hundred thousand more.
