HE IS NOW CALLED MARKS.
How a Lieutenant Earned a Nick
name On the Firing Line.
Especial to The Herald.)


San Francisco, Aug. 10.-The story Of
how man earned a nickname that
will probably cling to him during the
balance of his days, was related by
Major Grant to a group of friends in
the big rotunda of the Palace hotel
this afternoon. The commander of the
Utah batteries told his tale with great
effect, and those who heard his re-
cital listened with keen interest. 1t
ran like this:
One particularly hot day, when there
had been considerable heavy firing the
Utah batteries occupied a position on
narrow road a hundred yards away
from an insurgent town. The soldiers
had set fire to the buildings and the
insurgents, some distance on the other
side, were sweeping the roadway with
bullets that sized through the flames.
grooming death song for all who
might dare TO stand in their way.
Major Grant wanted to advance with
his men and guns, buzz although he
was willing to take a chance with the
Filipinos, he didn't like the blaze from
the burning houses. He knew if he
tried to go through the narrow passage
his ammunition chests might explode
and kill or MAIN a number of his SOL
diers. so he called halt and was wait
ing for the fire to subsida.
Suddenly, coming down the lane. with
smoke and flames rolling around him
in great wreaths, he saw a lieutenant
of volunteers riding placidly along on
a diminutive pale gray donkey and
carrying huge cotton umbrella over
his head. Zip, zip" went the bullets,
but the lieutenant paid no heed to
them nor to the fire. He came placidly
up to the point where Major Grant and
the batterymen were stationed. and

We are in a position to state that, in

more than one European government

in 1898.
