AT STONE MOL NTAI\; THE SWORD STORY

1 Dedication of the equestrian statue
 of General Robert l.. Lee at Stone
 Mountain, Georgia, yesterday came
 upon the anniversary of Lees sur
 render to General Grant at Appomat-
 tox, April 3, 1865.
 It might be fitting in this conncc-
 tion to shatter a popular fable in i connection with the great surrender. This refers to the notion that Gen.
 eral Lee handed General Grant his sword and that the latter magnani- mously returned it. The story has , gained wide currency and no doubt pictures have been painted of the thrilling scene, at least. in the
 back of our heads there is memory
 of once having seen one.
 Rossiter Johnson, writing in the
 New York Herald Tribune gives cir
 cumstantial evidence that this never
 took place; that General Lee was
 not required to hand over his sword.
 In the interest of historic truth, even
 if the story must be retold 63 years
 after it happened. we gladly give
 space to this clearcut evidence:
 Some one invented popular story to the effect that when Gen. eral Lee, at Appomattox. surrender
 cd his sword to General Grant the
 victor at Cnce handed it back with the remark that he knew no one so
 worthy to wear it as General Lee. l have rad this many times, and have heard it several times from re- srectable pulpits. If those who re- peat it would read the short letter written by Grant, accepted by Lee, and signed by both. they would it arn that such q transaction not only did not take place at Appomat- toS, but could not. For the terms of surrender as written. stipulated that the Confederate officers were to retain their side arns" that is, | rot required to give up their swords; and the enlisted men were permit ] ted to keep their horses.

And
Montoya DR. aw
At Border Ring

Tony Naldorama and Raymond
Montoya put ON rafting good
scrap at The Calexico arena last
night, and after 10 hectic rounds
3iN Tackett called the decision Il
Graw, Bill drew forth the "razz-
hcrry' from the part!sans of the
fighters, but the fans who can sit
by and watch contest without pre-
iudice applaudcd the decision and
recognized il rs fair one.
The lead in the carly part of the
fight went to Montoya, who pun
ishcd the little Filipino severely
with heavy body barrage. it was
not until the seventh that Waldo
rama really got working right and
from then on he outboXcd his Op,
poucnt and inflicted considerable
damage. Montoya kept up his good
work. and though he was tired ont
in the last two rounds he was clear
" entitled to the draw decision,
Awarding il to either man would
have been unfair to the other.
Homer Gaines took it in the first
half Of the main event, going down
in the ninth round after getting
terrible whack amidships from
Toby Montoya. Gaines tried to
claim foul, but Referee Tackets
refused TO allow it and examination
of the boxer in the dressing room
brought forth the statement that no
foul blow had been hit. 1t did not
look foul.
Gaines hit Montoya with every,
thing in sight for seven rounds and
Montoya took it, coming back for
more He found his way inside
Homer's defense and punished the
colored boy severely "downstairs >.
Gaines could not hurt Montoya with
blows to the head and shifted his
attcak to the stomach, but Mon.
toya was a topnotcher at defense
and blocked anything that looked
like trouble. MOntoya took Il wal
loping that would have put away
many boxer and proved that he
is plenty tough.
MARTINEZ and De La Fuente went
to a draw in the opening fight.
