friend has placed in hands, for insertion in the
Union, letter from Lieut. Claiborne of the company of
mounted rifles lately commanded by the chivalrc Walker
written in reply to inquiries concerning the fate
of youth Of this city, who with four Others has been
missing since the battle of Huamantla
Walkers company, it will be remembered was re-
cruted for the part in Washington and the surround
ing neighborhood Its gaanty and services have been
long of proper pride with Westinghouse and
Marylanders. We have letters from many officers
concurng in the opinion herein expressed that these
five patriotic youths died for their country at Huamana
not having been made prisoners was at first supposed
These letters all concur in representing Richard A. De-
men though but seventeen years of age, to have been
one Of the most gallant and efficient men in the army
MEXICO CITY, Jan. IL, 1918.
DEAR SIR: wish that | had it in my power to give
you some information concerning your son. My own
hopes that he had fallen into the hands of the enemy
hurt derived from Santa Annals of the
battle of HHamanta, in which he stated he had taken
some prisoners II this is true, we have heard
any news from them whatever. But doubt now veryl
much whether he took any psoners and it is lttlei
likely that he took any of Walkers company for they
were who did not know how to yield; and among
the most courageous and gallant of them ALL Richard
A. Dement, have seen him in action. He was byl
my side at La Hoya and would not even take cover there
Walker esteemed him very highly as did also; nori
do believe there man his superior In the com
pany. take pleasure in stating this that he may
be gone forever-more especially If it be consoations
