Governor Wells Will Promote One of
Them Today.

Governor Wells will today appoint a
surgeon for the Utah batteries in the
Philippines. The appointment will go
either to Lieutenant Critchiow. one of
the heroes of the battle of Malate. or 10
Commissary Sergeant Harry Young.
From friends of both men 1t was
learned that Lieutenant Critchlow
stands the best chance of being ap-
pointed. at least it is caid he can have
the promotion if ne so desires.
The appointment will carry with 1t
the rank of major, it is thought, ana
will therefore be a substantial advance
for the gallant lieutenant.
