Williams WAN No coward.

War stories of those mot mentioned in
the reports" are now coming In as return
ed soldiers recall the incidents of battle.
and very many of these are fun of the most
touching pathos, says the Courier Journal
Such a tale Of a Santiago hero was re-
Gently told to me by regular army off,
Ger. In the two days real fighting before
Santiago men of the different regiments
became mixed, and for a time were lost
to their commands. This condition gave
rise to the report that a certain few men
had shown the white feather"
One of the officers of Gen. Lawtons di-
vision observed a colored trooper of the
Tenth Cavalry among his men, who ex-
planned that he had lost his command
and asked that he be allowed to remain
where he was.
He stayed and did fine service that day.
and none of his white comrades were able
to Guido him in notable deeds of bravery
He twice risked losing mis- life assisting
the wounded to places of safety, but each
time escaped uninjured.
That night he asked the officer he had
met earlier in the day to give him a note
TO his own commander, explaining his alb
sence. and certifying to his good conduct
during the fighting that day. This was
Willingly given him, and with the precious
paper clasped tightly in his hand, under
cover of darkness he started in search of
his own command
The next morning at dawn Lieut. L
started on a search for wounded men In
his division, happened to stumble over a
PROSTATE body. He immedia tely recogniz-
ed the brave cavalryman of the day be-
fore, who was fast losing consciousness.
After struggling a moment for strength
to speak, the PROSTATE man held up his
precious little slip OF paper and said
Give it to Capt A., of l. Troop, If YOU
can find him, and tell him Williams wan
no coward
With look of satisfaction In his eyes
his hand dropped to his side, and he was
| dead.
That hero rests now In a shallow trench
with ten or twelve other unknown pri-
Yates.
