LETTER FROn Ntzhugh,
Quartermaster Sergeant McEIugh
Writes of Experiences at
Manila.

Pat McHugh has received the follow
ing letter from his son Will, of Co. A:
l have been the busiest man in our
company ever since we left home, and 1
have been handicapped on every hand,
and if you knew how hard l have strug-
gled to keep things moving, in the face
of incompetent cooks, officers and chief
quartermasters, you would not be sur
prised my not writing. I stood it as
long as l could, and then let everything
go to blazes, so to speak, and when the
captain was returned to the company 1
told him I had lost all interest in my
duties; he promised to give me a chance
to rest, so l am now a kind of an assis-
tant first sergeant, having charge of the
second platoon, and as we are doing
duty altogether by p%latoons 1 am kept
busy making out details, ETC., but it is a
pleasure compared with the other.
We have three Chinese cooks now
and are getting along pretty well, as they
are good workers.
We are under orders to leave this
afternoon on a ten days march, which
means lots of fighting. The expedition
consists of the N. DIS 22d Infantry, 4th
Cavalry and II battery 9Th Artillery.
We are going to capture some insurgent
strongholds in the vicinity of Malolos.
General Lawton of Cuban fame, will be
in command.
The second battalion N. DIS were on
a similar expedition last week, and had
five men killed and two wounded.
Companies A and D were sent out
April l to drive in a strong insurgent
outpost which had intrenched itself in a
bamboo thicket about four miles from
Paranaque. We started at 4:25 and
crawled along through a valley for an
hour before We got in position for the
charge. At a signal from General King
we charged up a hill in the face of a
shower of bullets, yelling like Indians,
driving the niggers out of their trenches
and killing and wounding a number oil
them.
Tell Macnider that Lieutenant Nc.
Lean distinguished himself in this
charge by being the only officer on the
line who got out in front of the men, anc
waving his sixshooter yelled "Comc OF

from Private Frank Hungerford of Co.
A, N. D. v. The letter bears the date
of April 20. Private Hungerford was
formerly a Moorhead boy. He says they
arrived ia quarters all right after a
march of thirty days, covering owe a
hundred miles. Many fierce skirmishes
were INDUCED in. No. mail was received
while in the interior and they had no
chance to write. They lost five men

BRAVE BOYS.
Two North Dakotans Swan a River
Full of Alligators and Brought
Back Boats.
A special from Devils Lake says:

"A SpCC1d1 4lOu1 DCN1lS LUKE S6ySs
Through letters received this week
from Captain Cogswell and Lieutenant
Lonnevik it is learned that two members
of Company D, the Devils Lake com
pany, recently performed a task that
places them in the Hobson and Funston
class.
When the 1900 troops under Lawton
captured the town of Paysanghang,s the
native prisoners taken informed our men
that Aguinaldo's feet, consisting of six
steam launches, was in hiding a few
miles up the Pasig river, Company D and
part of G Devils Lake and Grafton) wore
sent up to capture the vessels. The
boys made a hurried march in order to
surprise the rebels, which they succeed
ed id doing. On the opposite side of the
river they discovered six steamboats, and
one large casco, all in good order. The
American soldiers had no boats, and vol
unteers were called to swim the river
which is teeming with alligators-drive
the insurgents from the boats, unite the
vessels from their mornings and swim
back with the ropes. Two men from the
Devils Lake company promptly volun-
teered to undertake the task. They are
Corporal Robert j. Wilson and Private
Albert G. Erickson, both expert swim
mers. With revolvers between their
teeth and knives in their belts the two
brave men jumped into the river and
swan direct for the enemy's gunboats on
the opposite side. The few insurgents
who were left in charge of the fleet aban-
doned the vessels and fled to the woods
without firing a shot. It took but a few
minutes for Wilson and Erickson to un-
tie the boats from their mornings and
swim back with the ropes and soon the
vessels were in charge of our troops, with
the stars and stripes floating from the
mastheads.
1t is reported that Wilson and Erick-
son received mention for special bravery
in regimental orders, but a more fitting
reward for such a daring deed should be
speedily rendered them.
The history of these brave lads is
somewhat obscure. Corporal Wilson
had lived in Crary, Ramsey county, about
three years before joining Company D
He worked on farms in that vicinity and
being aquiet and ~gentlemanly fellow was
highly respected. He was born neal
Rockford, ILL.,, where, it is understood
all of his relatives now live. Private
Erickson Joined the company at Fargo
and no one here knows anything about
him, but everybody is proud that he is &
member of Company D.

pelleVe they have made an arrest which
will lead to important developments in
connection with the several attempts to
blow up Big Consolidated cars since the
beginning of the present strike. This
forenoon John Schoenthal, a striking con-
ductor, was taken into custody on the
charge of being a suspicious person, and
has since been detained at the central
station, where he was subjected to a rigid
examination by the detectives.
several days ago Well digger named
Stokes, living at Nottingham, a suburb,
told the police that a street railway man
had tried to purchase dynamite from him.
The report was investigated and the ar,
rest of Schoenthal followed The prisoner
admits that he is the man who approach-
ed Stokes, but he says he made the in
quiry at the request of another man,
whose name he does not know He saws
he was approached by the stranger, who
asked him if he knew where ten pounds
of dynamite could be purchased The
prisoner told the stranger that he knew
man at Nottingham who used dynamite
and he might have some to sell. There
upon he went to Nottingham, saw Stokes,
but failed to get the explosive. He re-
ported his failure to the stranger and that
was the end of the matter.
The police will not say what they think
of the story, but declare they are not yet
through with the investigation, and they
look on the arrest as an important one.
Schoenthal had been employed by the
company about four years before the
strike began.
Good lawyers say the boycotters may
be proceeded against under the Ohio anti
trust law, which covers cOnspiTacies of
all kinds in restraint of trade. One law
yer. who has examined the law, says that
merchants who refuse to sell goods to
boycotted persons, as well as those who
assist in placing the boycott on them or

convicted of conspiracy without proof of
existence of a conspiracy. The penalty
provided is fine of from $50 to So. coo and

continues constitutes a separate onense.

Frank Millman was murdered instead
of being accidentally killed by falling
from Il Great Northern train near Way
zata, as was supposed Tuesday afternoon
when MS body was found on the embark
ment under the wagon bridge, about
block from the Great Nortbern's Wayzata
depot.
That he was murdered was proved yes
terday at the post norton examination
made by the coroner's physicians. A bull
let hole -yas found in the head. The ball
had cnp d Immediately back of the left
ear fatteuing against the skull, and
fracturing the skull. The bullet was eX-
tracted and upon eXamina ton proved to
be Of a thirty -eight-calibTe There were
no powder burns in the hair or flesh,
showing that Millman could not have
shot himself. On the contrary, the cor
oner's physicians feel positive that the
bullet was fired from distance of twelve
feet. The examination also showed that
Millman was standing up when the bull
let struck him and that death must have
been instantaneous.
Immediately upon discovering that muir
der had been committed, the coroner's
office notified Superintendent of Police
Doyle and detectives were put at work
investigating the matter. The circum-
stances surrounding the tragedy, how
ever, make the task of bringing the muir
dere- to justice apparently an almost
hopeless one.
When Millman left here Friday his
mother asked him if he had any money.
He said he had, but offered no informa-
ton as to how much and his mother of
fered him some. He took a IS bill and
refused to take any more. IIe told the
family that he would probably walk out
to Wayzata and might stay there a day
or two. He was acquainted with some
train men and said he could get a free
ride through to the harvest fields
As nearly as the police are able to learn
Millman did arrive at Wayzata Friday
Although crippled he was an excellent
walker. He was seen about Wayzata.
Owing to his crippled hand and peculiar
dragging of one foot while walking, his
sandy hair and mustache, he was a man
easily remembered. Once or twice be-

tween Friday night and Monday night
the cripple came to the house of Byron
Flumb, the mail agent at WayZata, after
water. AT no place in or about WayZate
was he seen in company with any one.
Charles H. Babcock lives in the only
mousse near the spot where MillInan. was
murdered and within easy hearing dis
lance. Last night Mr.. Babcock stated
that he had heard no shot Monday night
or Tuesday morning, and was positive
that had one been fired some one in the
mouse would have heard it, unless it had
oeen fired willie a freight train was pass
ing. three freight trains and a passen-
ger train passed over the tracks between
midnight and Monday morning. Mr.. Bah
cock stated that many tramps were gen
orally found under the bridge, sometimes
as many as fifty al a time, it appeared
to be a point where they gathered to
catch trains. He had never had trouble
with any of them and had seen nothing
of any man answering Millman's descrip-
ton.
Jack Welsh, superintendent of the
county morgUe, went to Wayzata last
night and secured a small bundle Of
clothing belonging to MiIlman and which
had been left at Wayzata when the body
was brought in Tuesday night. De &C.

around the spot where the murder oc-
CURED, but could find nothing of value
unless possibly it is a sock which was
found under the bridge where the body
lay and which had a tin laundry tag on
it bearing the initials "R. H. On the
motor line road the detectives also
found a letter which appeared to have
blood stains upon it. This letter was
addressed to r. H. Mattson and was
from NeilSVille, Wis A careful search
was made in hope of possibly finding a
resolver, but nothing developed other
than spots where a half dozen other
hobo camps had been located.
Coroner Nelson has the body at the
county morgue. The circumstances re-
quire an inquest, although little or moth
Ing is known beyond the fact that the
murder was committed. Ultimately the
body will be turned over to the family
and the funeral which was to have
been held at o'clock this afternoon
from the family residence has been
postponed until Friday afternoon at 2
o'clock
A strange fatality has pursued the
Mlllman family. A few weeks before
the fire in the old Tribune building
where William Fl. MilIman. commerciai
editor, lost his life, his wife was
asphyXiated at their home on Third
avenue south, near Seventh street. The
father, Christopher Millman, died. and
then another brother died. A widowed
mother, Mrs. Emma Millman, daugh-
ter and one son are all that now re-
main of the family. They reside at
5Oz4 Stevens avenue and the son is en-
pIoyed on the Duluth News-Tribune. He
came TO Minneapolis Immediately upon
receiving news of his brothers death.
