Erightencd From HIS Post.


Frightened From His Post.
GRAND ISLAND, Neb., Feb. 1-(Special.)
In I'm interview in the New York Times
with members of the returned Astor battery,
the following story is told Of a Grand Island
boy: The battle in which the battery par
ticipated with such bravery took place near
a church and here the dead and one sick
man were left in charge of Company E Of
the Thirteenth Minnesota and Private
George s. Gels Of the Aston battery while
the remaining force pushed on into Manila.
The insurgents, who had been refused
admittance into the city by the Americans,
swarmed abou. the old church in an angry
mood, denouncing and threatening the
Americans. The lieutenant Of the Minnesota
company decided to vacate the church, fear
ing trouble during the night, but Artillery
man Gels refused to leave his post. The
lieutenant, after giving Gels a rifle, with
drew his company, leaving the artilleryman
alone with his sick comrade and the dead.
All night angry Filipinos were gathered
about the church, where Gels stood, gun in
hand. awaiting the attack which he felt sure
would come before daylight. Now and then
q squad Of scowling insurgents would enter,
only to be cowed by the bold front of the lone
artilleryman. Once a party more daring
than the rest refused to leave the church
until the resourceful Gels presented each
with a chair belonging to the church. His
comrades returning for the dead next morn
ing found Gels sitting there with his rifle
on his knees. He had kept the rife and ex-
hibtted 1t yesterday while his comrades told
of his vigil" e
Mr.. Gels is the son Of an old soldier who,
with his wife, occupy a cottage at the
Soldiers home. When the battery went
through Hastings the aged couple took the
train for Hastings to see their boy as he
passed through that city over the b. & NJ.
for New York, though the meeting was brief.

Globe National Bank Stockholders
Vote TO llquidate.
The Low Rate Of Interest One Of the Lead.
ing Causes Of This Action.

The stockholders. or a very large
majority of them. Of the Globe Nation
al bank, have, by practically unani-
nous vote, decided to liquldate. Fully
four-fifths Of the $500, 600 worth of stock
was represented by those present and
the few who were not in favor of the
trend of affairs made no opposition,
but simply refrained from voting
This action upon the part of the
stockholders has been brought about
by the continued low rates of interest
and the small amount OF deposits. 1t
has become impossible TO give the
stockholders return value for the
money Invested. The view OF the direc-
tors was that of the stockholders. and
IL was voted To place in the hands OF
the board the power TO take the neces-
sary steps for immediate liquidation. A
dividend of $50 on each share has been
declared by the board of directors. and
as the par value of the shares is $50.
in liquidating the dividend amounts to
120 per cent
The total amount TO be paid is $780,
600. which is now available i'm cash, and
the cashier has been directed to make
payment to each stakeholder at once.
IL is said that many OF the stockhold-
ers will seize the opportunity to make
investments in the Union Trust COM
pany.
