FOIl j Sim Francisco (UPI) For the 2ftlli time In nourly a century (.'onKress Is scheduled to take !up till" John C. Fremont fam ily!) battle with the U. S. Army over ownership of a I piece of land near the Golden Clate. Fremont, known as "The Pathfinder," was the soldier I explorer who claimed Cali fornia for the United Slates ilurinK the war with Mexico. A few years later he settled i in San Francisco and, the l'ain lily claims, nought a 14-acre ' trad on San Francisco Bay. After Fremont joined the tffl, Union forces in the Civil War, the Army in lfiaa took over his estate as a fortress attainst a feared Confederate invas ion from the Pacific. It is now known as Ft. Mason. Frees Slaves During the war Fremont earned a reputation for froo Int; hundreds of Negro slaves but suffered discouraging de feats by Gen. Stonewall Jack son. When he asked for his land back after the war, the Army told him it never be longed to him. U had been re served fur the military since the Ullh Century, the War Department, said, and Fre mont was no more than a milliliter on a military reser vation whim ho lived there. For 25 years Fremont haunted Washington and the White House striving to gel the land back. He died in pov erty. In 1HU1 the California leg islature called on Congress to "rectify un Injustice of long standing" and puy Fremont's widow Jessie, for the land. In that same year she died. The Fremonts' son, MaJ. Francis Preston Fremont, car ried on the fight but died In 11)25 still without possession of the land. Then the general's grund son, lienton Fremont, came hack from Cuba to fight for the land. Last October he too died at San Francisco General Hospital, u few miles from the army-held estate that now would be worth around $5 million. Vows To Fight The generals greal-grand-son, Air Force Capl. John C. Fremont, vowed as he burled his father thai he would carry on the fight. He said he would press the clulm to Ft. Mason, an army port o embarkation, until his family is returned the land, or pnid for it. Hep. John F. Shelley, D- Calif., will introduce a bill to turn the question of who owns Ft, Mason over to fl court of claims. The family's attorney has assembled rec ords of 100 years of fruitless arguing with the government. "WATERPROOF $199 L pi T g ! For Children Fleece lining with side zipper. Warm and comfortable.
