A deputation team from the Uni.

sponsored by the Y. M. C. A. of

The team is composed of six mem

Milam joined the Meixican forces and
was captured and for a year impris

returned to Texas which was by that
time at a farther .<»tage in its revo

ties and he was made a colonel in
Santa Anna’s Revolutionary army.

against the Mexicans at San Antonio.
Clinton Scollard has made Ben Mi
lam the hero of a brisk bit of poetry
in connection with the capture of
San Antonio;
"Oh, who will follow old Ben Milam
into San Antonio?”
Such was the thrilling word we
heard in the chili Decembei
glow.
With rifle crack and sabre hack we
drove them back in the
street;
From house to house in the red ca
rouse we hastened their fly
ing feet;
And ever that shout kept pealing out
with the swift and sure
death blow;
has arisen as a part of the nation in
the southwest.
“It was four for one, and not gun for
gun, but never a curse cared
we.
Three hundred fearless and faithful
men who had sworn to make
Texas tree,
it was mighty odds, by all the gods,
this brood of Mexique dam.
But it was not much for heroes such
as followed old Ben Milam.”
For his services in the destruction
of the Mexican army Jefferson Mi
lam. who survived, was given a tract
of land twenty miles square which
was later made into Milam county,
now a prosperous section of Texas,
and settled with many members of
the Milam family. His wife was a
Miss McKinney, whose brother was
a signer of the Texas declaration of
independence. McKinney county was
formed from land given to him.

was made that tlie soldiers would be
dismissed. The letter says that on
hoaiing this "the soidiers grew very
iudigant, but Ben Milam stepped to
the front and waved his hat and
shouted, “Who will go with old Ben
Mjlam into San Antonio'.'” Cheers
arose and more than 300 volunteeied.
While still dark on the morning of
December 5 the men stole silently to
an old building from which Milam
was to issue orders for the attack.
At 5 o’clock Mills led his division
to storm the Alamo, but this was
only a ruse to permit Col. Frank
Johnson to enter the city unobserv
ed. The Texans opened a lively fire
on the Alamo, completely surprising
the Mexicans, who were diverted to
the Alamo, allowing Milam to enter
the city unobserved at another quar
ter. Mills then hearing Milam's guns,
withdrew to his support. For several
days the struggle raged until tinal-
