Nameless, these 750 who lie In one grave, but among them, perhaps are many who followed Capt. Samuel Walker' and Col. Jack Hayes in the regiment of 'Texas Rangers which, nearly a century ago, stormed Chapultcpec and fought on the field of Molino del Key.

Capt. Ernest Hippc is custodian and superintendent of America's oldest national cemetery. As the marker says, the bones were collected from the various battlefields of the American war with Mexico and buried here In 1847. They came from Contreraa, Molino del Rey, Chapultepec and Mexico City. Arlington, the great national cemetery in Washington, came into being during the Civil war, but this spot of foreign soil was bought by the U.

S. government by act of congress in .1850 and the sale was consummated in June, 1851, the government obtaining the plot from the family of Manuel Lopez for the sum of $3,000. Besides tha 750 U. S. soldiers buried in one mound, 813 others rest under the uniform white stones under the trees.

Most of them are Americans who havs died in Mexico, but there are a few Germans, French and Mexicans.

Wilhelrc said he fired about 10 shots at the cars. One of the ma- ci. nes was abandoned near Wheatfield fay and Pavlench.

Kunkel believed the escape was planned for a long time "with outside help." He was attempting to learn where the men obtained their tools. It was the first major break from the prison since John Dillinger engineered the escape, Sept. 26, 1933. of 10 desperate convict-members of hi3 gang. All have been killed or returned to prison since that time.

Cummings and Hulburt were both senetnccd on robbery charges from Indianapolis, in 1934, Cum- mtngs getting a 15-year term and Hulburt 12 years. They made a similar break together from the Marion county jail at Indianapolis on Oct. 7, 1934, while awaiting removal here but were recaptured the same day. Pavlench, Gengo and Christian, all from Gary, were sentenced to from 10 to 25 years each for armed robbery in 1935. FURNITURE REMOVAL SALE 188-coil inner-iprinf mattreu.
