The main body of the troops com-
ing up through the prairie now form-
led and the battle became general. The
Texans charged the ravine and charg-
ed up from the left also. A portion
of the Indians who were attempting to
approach the troops on the right flank
'Were repulsed. The Cherokees fled
jWhen the charge was made, leaving
eighteen of their number dead on the
ground The Texans had three killed
and five wounded. The fight com-
menced a little before sunset and the
pursuit ended at night.
| On the morning of the jfjth the
troops proceeded on the trail made by
< i the Indians the previous flight. In
the afternoon they were found strong-
ly posted in front of a ravine half a
mile from the -Veches river and seem-
ed anxious to again meet the Texans
in battle. While the troops In front
were dismounting the Indians com-
menced firing and killed one man and
several horses before they could form,
but a charge drove them back into
the ravine. They were now protected
by the ravine and a thicket and the
whites had to charge through open
ground and down a bill,
i The main body had now come up
and firing commenced at the distance
of 100 yards. The Texans kept ad-
vancing and firing until within 50
yards of the ravine, when a rushis*
| charge was made. This was more
< \ ’ than the Indians could stand and they
ended the conflict, which lasted more
than an hour and w'as well sustained
by the Indians until they came to
close quarters.
The loss of the Texans was five
killed and 27 wounded, making a total
in both fights of eight killed and 32
w-ounded. The Indians had in all 100
killed and wounded and among the
former were the two principal chiefs,
Bowles and “Big Mush.” In the two
fights the Texans had 500 men and
the Indians 800. The trail was fol-
lowed again for some days, but the
Indians were not again overtaken and
the men were disbanded.
Attitude of the Indian*.
The Texans have been censured by
some for this battle, but it must be
remembered that the Cherokees were
immigrants to this country, same as
the Americans were, and obtained the
land from the Mexican government,
and when Texas declared her inde-
pendence and her people were being
driven to the extreme border by San-
ta Anna, ruthless tyrant, these In-
dians should have been found in the
ranks of General Houston repelling
the invader and letting off a few of
their blood curdling yells on the plains
of San Jacinto. But instead of this
they hovered around the little army
of Texas in a menacing attitude and
plainly showed their preference for
the Mexicans. The Texans fought the
battle alone, and had a right to drive
these enemies from her soil. The
Cherokees would have been glad to
have seen the Americans annihilated
at San Jacinto and every woman and
child driven beyond the Sabine and
scalped. President Lamar’s policy
was to expel every hostile tribe of
Indians from Texas, as their pres-
ence retarded the settlement of the
country.
The Cherokees were finally rounded
up and removed peaceably to the In-
dian Territory, where they now are
prosperous, having farms, stock,
schools and churches.
Andrew Tumllngon Killed.
in the fall of 1831 a party of In-
dians came down the Guadalupe river
and stole some horses from the set-
tlers in DeWltt’s colony. Andrew Tum-
linson. in company with several oth-
ers, came upon two Wacos, who made
no attempt to fight or run. Believing
that they knew something about the
stolen horses they were captured and
their arms aken away from them. To
all questions as to their knowledge of
the horses they gave a negative an-
swer until told that if they did not
show the horses they would be killed.
One of them said to follow him and
the horses would be shown to the
white men. Believing that they would
be killed if they did not show the
horses they formed the bold design of
trying to get away and one of them
drew a knife which was concealed
about his person and which had es-
caped search of his captors, and with
a quick and furious lunge buried it in
the body of Tomlinson, killing him in-
stantly. Both then ran but soon fell
dead from the rifle shots of the other
men. The settlers finally found the
horses and returned with them. This
was an unfortunate affair, as these
Indians evidently were innocent in
this particular case and the white
men were operating on their fears
to induce them If they did know
where the horses were to reveal them,
hut if they had stuck to their first as-
sertion it is likely they would have
been turned loose.
Tomlinson was buried near where
lie was killed, which was somewhere
east of the present town of Seguin.
Roland, Steward and Gray.
Ezekiel Howland was a native of
Alabama, came to Texas with his
parents, in 1836 and first settled in
Washington county. in 1827 they
moved up the Brazos and stayed for
a while at the old town of Tenoxtit-
lau and then went to Burleson coun-
ty, near Caldwell. After his father,
Joseph Rowland, moved to Burleson
county, Ezekiel entered the rangers'
3crvice, in which he remained three
years. In the spring of 1853 he join-
ed Captafn Steward in an exploring
expedition to the Wichita mountains.
The party was out about three months
and accomplished their mission, ar.d
started on their return home.
Mater was scarce on the route and
on several evasions the men came
near perishing from thirst. On one
of these occasions when no water
eouid be found Captain Steward took
with him to search for it. instructing
the other men to reamin together
where they were, and if water was
found the signal would be the firing
of a gun and for them to come to it
The search was successful. A beau-
tiful stream was discovered and the
captain and his companions, after
quenching their thirst sat down in
the shade of a large live oak tree to
rest and witt~for the other men to

be distinctly heard by the other men,
but whether they fired the signal or
not before the attack was made could
not be known.
The Indians were gone and the
three white men lay close together
under the tree, the latter having sev-
eral arrows in it and also scarred with
bullets. Bloody spots were found
away from the three, indicating that
some of the Indians were killed or
wounded. The bodies of the slain
men were burled under the tree where
they fell and the balance of the men,
deprived of their leader and two other
brave companions, once more took
their course for home and after suf-
fering at times for water and having
several fights with Indians arrived
safely without losing another man.

Springtown, Texas, Sept. 1—Cotton
picking began here last week and will
be in full swing by the end of this
week. The yield will be light here,
perhaps 60 per cent of last year’s
crop.
Corn is being gathered, and there
will perhaps be enough for home use
in this vicinity. Hay and forage crops
were cut short by the drouth.
The peanut crop is short, but will
help out.
No rain here since July 27. I tried
to get an equation on the date of the
next rain from the weather prophets.
Uncle Rufus Hudson says we wll have
no rain until it frosts, and Uncle Wes-
ley Graham declares that it can not
frost until it rains. So their equa-
tion is indeterminate even Horner’s
method of approximation fails to ap-
ply.
W. i. Lovelace has sold his farm
and bought 1600 acres of land in Ter-
