When the early day -id tiers i;iit
thin a light with the Indian.-, they
tried lii kill the chef because the
sight of seeitiif their leader fall us-

redskin lii such an extent that

-11 i > « itli a different twist:
Hack in I KMT, during the day.
iif the Texa Republic, the mvngc
made . n tunny Incursion - aga n -t
the ettlers that the I'exas Con
gre-s declared war against them.
I.h ulenant I tent Mm \ en and Mile-,
with a force of Ik mounted Ran
gi tv, encountered I "ill Indian on
the headwaters of the Trinity on
Nov. 10.
There was a tierce light which
lasted two hours. The Italian chleif
was killed and the redskins fell
back but In 20 minutes they re-
turned to the battle, having mean
while elected a new chief to lead
them.
Hut the Texans had used this
delay to good advantage; they had
taken a position on a knoll among
si me timber. The savages were
unable to drive them out and lo t
heavily from rille tire. So they -et
tire to the gra.-s all around them
and this brought the Texans out
but hardly with the result that the
warriors bMil expected or wanted.
The Hangers charged out of their
threatened position with such de
termination that, after consiilera
hie of a struggle, the Indians fled,
leaving 50 dead. The Ranger
lo -es, while not so heavy, were
heavy enough nine had been kill
ed, including Lieutenant Mile-,
and three had been Wounded.
And that is the dory of an In-
dian fight In which the chief was
killed and then the redskins .stop-
ped just long enough to elect a
new leader and came back for
more which they received from
the Texas Rangers.
(leneial Sam Houston not only
won the battle of San Jacinto
but he financed the military cam-
paign that was climaxed by that
great victory.
The cntumander-in chief'- ban
gage was a pair of saddle wallet
which his -ervant carried. I lie. e
lontailied his olficial papei and a
• haiige of linen. The army had no
funds. The only money that Hon-
ton ii i d in the campaign was $200
of hi« own.
While the Texas army was le
treating before making the -taiul
at San Jacinto, two women were
found seated on a log. One ot
them was the widow of a Texan
who had fallen In the Alamo. She
was absolutely penniless. Houston
handed her 150 from his pocket.
Years later, after Texas had lie
come a state, she wrote to him,
scylng -lie had used the money to
buy cattle and the increase had
made her and her family indcpcml
eht.
Incidentally, 111u (rating the lack
of strict military discipline of the
Texas army, Houston made a
.speech to the man. .lying that he
had been criticized for not fight
ing the enemy hut thill,as ooii as
i m instance.- were advantageous,
he would. A big man, whose name
wa- Harmon and who wa- known
toi his good nature, called out,
"tieneral, let it be an ea-y goin'

Texas Ideal for
Wool Manufacturing
LCIIIIOCK. The advantages of
Wesl Texas as a site for wool tex-
tile manufacturing are .stressed i'i
n new bulletin released by the
Texas Technological College Re
search committee.
Titled "Wool Textile Industry
Survey fin West I'eya.-," the hul-
letin was prepared for tin Wet
Texas Santa Fe Industrial commit-
tee of the West Texas Chamber of
Commerce, Abilene. Its main pur
pose i.- to point out lie. liable plant
locations in We I Texa- near the
source of raw materials.
"It i- not intended a a definite
Instruction for locating a spec tic
mill in a given locality," the com-
mittee points out. Rather, it Is
alined at presenting the broad pic
lure to the woolens industry.
In uipport of its contention,
the committee cites the III IT wool
production figures, which -how
that 25 percent of the total clip
came from Wesl Texas. Of this,
'.15 percent wa- of "the highest
quality combing wool," the com-
mittee *iy .
"West Texas i.s strategically lo
cated in that it in not far -oath of
the center of the t inted States,"
the report continue.-. "It is nearer
to the farm wi st, southwest and
far west market- than is the north
eastern section ... its location
should enable it to take advantage
of the South American market

also mention- the t;r ora'ile labor
