Nat Burdtsfeld, Who Ran Away to Enlist
Found in Rock Island.

Found in Rock Island.
Among the passengers on this morn
ing's Burlington train was BE-. Burdts-
field. of Sterling, who came in search
of his son, Nat, who disappeared from
home last April, and who kept his
whereabouts unknown to his folks.
At the call for volunteers last spring
Nat was on the farm with his father,
two sisters and two brothers, his
mother having died four years ago.
The lad was anxious to serve his
country, but his youth was known
at Sterling. and therefore pre-
vented him from enlisting in the
local company. 50 he fled away from
home. coming to Rock Island. where
he joined Company A, marching with
his comrades through Porto Rico and
wherever else they were hidden by
duty. Nat was among those who con-
trAFted sickness in the south. but after
secured position in the
>store of q. +. Bailey * Co.
An ARGUs reporter was on the train
with Mr.. Burdtsfield this morning,
and hearing the fathers story, told
him where he could find his son. He
made straight for the store. 1t is
hardly necessary to say that the meet
ing was a happy and affectionate one
Nat will remain in Rock Island; and
his father, too. will probably locate
here.

An Important Document Filed at Spring
field Which Treats of the State Troops
Fart In the Hour of the Nations

mitted.
Adit. Gen. J. N.;Reece has presented
| his biennial report TO Gov. John K.
Tanner. The report covers the year
! 1897 and 1898. 1t embraces all the
transactions of the department for
| the period. Adjt. Gen. Recess re-
| port is probably the most important
| OF its kind ever made, covering as it
does the part Illinois soldiers took
in the Spanish-American war. No
other adjutant general since the civil
war has had occasion to make a re-
port to the governor of Illinois that
EN- bodies so much of Importance as
does this one made by Gen. Reece,
who. according to his report, assumed
the duties of adjutant general Feb. 2,
1897. He says:
Not since 1917 and 1913 has the
United Ssates been forced to measure
strength with q foreign foe. Not since
the Mexican war has it been neces-
sary to pit the courage and military
ability of the United States soldier
and sailor against those of foreign
power.
I'm summing up the work of mo-
bilizing the Illinois troops for the
volunteer service of the national gov
eminent under the first call of the
president, l desire to emphasize that
the soldiers rendered by the state
were above the average in intelli-
Oh hot
rigid physical examination before
muster proved them sound, healthy
and fully lit for field service; that
their patriotic zeal to get to the front
and in close contact with the enemy
was unbounded.
Speaking of the war records the add
jutant general says bound record
books of the rosters of Illinois regi-
ments and troops are now being writ
ten up, and when completed will con-
tain every possible obtainable data
connected with the troops in the war
with Spain. He reports that some
commanders have as yet failed to fur
nish the desired information and have
paid no attention to letters urging
them to do so. The adjutant general
recommends: Il have the honor to
recommend that all flags carried by
regiments of infantry, and all stand
ards and guidons carried by the caval
ry and artillery in the war with Spain
be ordered deposited in Memorial nall,
and that suitab bic cases be provided
for their reception. 1t is recon-
mended that the military code be
amended in accordance with sugges-
tions to be submitted to yourself and
the general assembly. 1t is recon-
mended that new building for re-
loading department, one for perma-
nent guard house and one for quar-
termaster's store house, be erected at
Camp Lincoln, also that new and
safer bridge he placed across the
creek on the rifle range.
The Fulton Incident.
In referring to riot duty done by
Illinois militia, the adjutant general
says the Illinois National Guard was
called into action once in 1897 and
once in 1898. Speaking of the former
instance, which develops a circum-
stance of particular interest, Gen.
Reece reports: In that year the citi-
zens of Fulton, in an endeavor to
