FIGHTING MON TANANS"
That Is the Term Applied to the
Montana Soldiers.
THEY WANT COME HOME
c. P. Monroe of Company M Writes That
the Boys Are Kept Guessing as to
When Their Turn Will Come.
Filipinos Not Successful.
THEY WANT TOCOME HOME

The fighting Montanans' is the
ippines to the Montana regiment"
says c. p. Monroe in a letter which
was yesterday received by Peter
Smith, a member of the Anaconda fire
department. The letter reads in part
as follows:
Manila, P. l., June Ill received
your letter on Feb. 10 about noon, and
if you remember, that is the same day
we made the famous charge on CAL
ocean. We commenced to advance at
about o'clock and we have been on
the firing line ever since. so you can
see for yourself how much time l have
had to write. l am at present in quar-
tiers at Manila on sick list, wore out
from hard work more than anything
else. l don't think there is any use
of me giving you any details on our
fighting qualities, as you have seen by
the papers that the Montana boys did
their duty every time they were called
upon. Company NJ has cut quite a
figure in the present campaign. They
were on outpost when every attack
was made from the time the present
trouble started. The other soldiers,
when abiding to us, call us the fight
ing Montanans,' and the term is just
right, for the Montana boys are fight
ers, and they have shown it. n
I'VE had a great slaughter of Fill
ipinos yesterday morning. They made
an attack and tried to recapture San
Fernando from the Americans, but they
got badly fooled in their attempt. The
enemy suffered a very heavy loss. The
Americans only had one man killed and
several wounded. Company NJ was on
outpost as usual. l am sorry i was
not there to be in on the fun. The
one man that was killed was from
Company NJ. His name was Dave Sill
yer. l don't think you knew him. [
tell you, Pete, we have had some hard
fighting since the trouble started. The
Kansas and Montana regiments havs
had the blunt end since the start.
They have made a start toward
sending the volunteers home, but |
think our turn will come just about the
time snow commences to fall in Mon
tana but l hope it will come sooner.
] would like to see the I'd brigade go
home together There are three regi-
ments in the fighting I'd, namely, Mon
tana Kansas and Sd artillery, acting
as infantry.
There have been four men killed
in action and two died of sickness in
Company NJ since we arrived en- the
Islands. Campbell, Meitchke, Murphy
and Silver were killed and Archibald
and Saxon died from disease. l hope
we have lost our last man.

A Party of Amateur Fishermen
Raided a Chicken Coop.
HAD LEFT CRUEL NOTES
Farmer j. c Holm Got Mad and Had
Joe MulveEill, Frank Warwick and
Gus Bird OF Butte and w Shend
of This City Arrested.

Farmer ]. C. Holm whose place is
near the race track, believes not in
practical jokes. Because of this lack of
belief a party of festive Butte and
Anaconda amateur fishermen are now
in the tolls of the law
Joe Mulvehill, well-known Butte man
and all around good fellow, came down
from Butte Tuesday for fishing trip.
He, Frank Warwick and Gus Bird, all
of Butte, and William Shend of this
city, betook themselves to the western
borders of the city and fished up and
down the stream, camping near by.
Yesterday they broke camp and scat
tered to their respective homes.
Also yesterday Farmer Holm ap-
peared at the Office of Prosecuting At
torney Duffy with blood in his eye and a
doleful tale of woe to tell
According to his story, his hen roost
was robbed on Wednesday night and
five plump chickens distracted. From
certain marks and indications left by
the marauders, he was convinced the
Mulvehill party had been tempted by
The fowl and fallen.
Not content with robbing him of his
animated egg factories, the robbers had
left cruel notes behind them for Mr.
HOlm's perusal. One of these notes was
stuffed in Mr.. Holm's key hole with a
lot of feathers. 1t read as follows:
We never were admirers of chicken
feathers, but we believe you are stuck
on them"
Elsewhere We're piled up a stack of
chicken legs bearing this note:
THE legs of your chickens are not
as palatable or as digestible as are the
bodies. The bodies are o. X. Well
tackle the bodies; you eat the legs and
the feathers"
Great was the wrath of Mr.. Holm
when ne read these messages He
straightway came to town and demand
ed of Prosecuting Attorney Duffy the
issuance of warrants for the appre-
hension of the four alleged offenders.
Warwick and Shannon were al once
arrested but Mulvehill and Gus Bird
had escaped to Butte. where they We're

was signed at Manila, June 5, by Chap
lain G. c. Stull for Colonel Kessler
Before sending the money" said,
Colonel O'Leary, the ladies having the
matter in hand consulted Adjutant
Calkins at Butte as to the manner Of
sending. He said the proper way was
to send the money to Colonel Kessler,
who would see it was properly distri-
buted. The colonel, no doubt informed
the companies the money had been seat
when he received the cable message.
June 5, when the $500 for the two
companies reached Manila, Colonel
Kessler was doubtless at San Fernando.
There must have been delay in getting
the draft to Colonel Kessler. and then
he would have to take the draft back to
Manila to get it cashed at the bank
Two weeks is the least time in which
the money could have been received by
the colonel after the arrival of the
draft.
Captain Hallahan of Company NJ
from about April p, has been i'll in the

Malolos was reached, when his condi-
ton was such he had to be invaded. So
far as we know, he has not been able
to rejoin the regiment"
Captain Hallahans friends are in
dignant al the allegations made con-
corning him, and refute the idea that
he would hold back company funds
from the boys. His friends point to the
splendid record he and his company
have made in the Philippines, and to
the stirring words of praise concern

HE WAS MISTAKEN.
Evidence That the Funds for Company
NJ Were Not Held Back.

Evidence That the Funds for Company
NJ Were Not Held Back.
Friends of Captain Hallahan and of
Company NJ are convinced that the
company has received the $3.50 sent it
by the people of Anaconda, and that
when the volunteer, whose letter was
published yesterday, was writing that
the money had been held back by an
officer, he was writing under a mis-
apprehension. In his letter, written
June Is, this volunteer said the money
had been received by the officer two
months before. Inquiry yesterday de-
veloped the fact that the money did
not reach Manila until June 5, and was
probably not placed in Captain Halla-
hans hands for two weeks or more
after that.
The money was forwarded from Ana
oonda by Col. T. O'Leary, whose wife
was treasurer of the fund. The colonel,
in explaining the matter yesterday,
said:
in the first place, it should be I'M
derstood that all moneys sent a COM
pany go into what is called the COM
pany fund. The company commander
is the custodian of that fund, and an
account is kept of it by the company
clerk. This account is subject to ex-
animation by the inspecting officer. and
. must be inspected at least once a
month and vouchers must be furnished
for every cent expended. 1t is a trust
fund, and the government sees that it
is carefully guarded in the interests
of the men. The company council, con-
sisting of all the commissioned officers
of the company, must also inspect this
account once a month.
THE money sent from here to Com
panies X and NJ was forwarded April
10, 1899, to Colonel Kessler. At that
time we cabled him of the fact The
money was in a draft of Hoge. Daily
G. Co., London sterling exchange the
bank charging us nothing for the

which was signed 'O'Leary, Colonel
