A Goliad man would help when Goliad would have heavy rains which could cause a debris choke point, especially around the bridge leading to La Bahia. He would jump in the river and attach chains to the trees that washed down and became stuck under the bridge. The men on the bridge would then pull the chains and remove the trees
Once he found a canon and attempted to wrap the chains around it but it was too heavy for the men to hoist it up to the bridge. This story was confirmed by some of the men who were there when the canon was found.
