Private George W. Engler was starred
today by some admirlng visitors, who
had been referred to him as the man
who had found safety in flight and a
plunge in a river when a horde of Fill
pinos were following tropically on his
trail. Engler didn't like to tell the
story because ne is modest and hates
both scenes and signs, and anything
else OF melodramatic flavor. After treat
ing with whitening contempt a Sugges-
ton that ne was out looting that day,
Engler came forward with the story.
THE hill where our guns were sta
toned was several hundred yards from
the river and waterworks. and past the
river a. few hundred yards was Mari
quina," said he. "Grantham and Noble
were along. We crossed the river TO tho
left of Mariquina armed with our re-
volvers. We We're making for the big
near by. Just before we reached there
we noticed the people got excited and
while we were standing there a CARO-
mata went daShing past up and we saw
that a man on the inside wore the two
silver bars of Filipino first lieutenant.
Grantham drew his revolver and want
ed TO shoot, but We persuaded him
not to.
I'VE then went down the road as far
as the big residence and close to the
church. Grantham and ] stood on the
outside with our guns in our hands and
Noble went in. Just then I happened
10 turn round and saw a woman wavs
ing her hand as if calling attention to
us. There was a big crowd behind her
and several We're running out from the
houses. l saw most of them were SOL
diers from their uniforms, and nearly
all of them carried guns. Grantham
and l started running up the road and
they We're right behind us, yelling
'Altoi Altoi AmericanoSi'
about 100 yards down the road we
cut into a cornfeld, and in a few min
utes came against the river. We got
over that ali right but it ruined our
artillery and ammunition. We could
see the soldiers walking around
crouched down, but felt pretty sure they
had missed the trail. Right there the
river forms horse shoe and we were in
the loop. We ran little farther and
hid in some heavy bamboo. We. of
course, thought we were surrounded. In
a half hour or so we made run for
the river and got over and reached the
outpost"
What became of Noble?''
He took a carbonate from a native
woman and got away easily"
why didn't they shoot us? Oh. Colo.
mel Stantsenberg told us later that he
had warned the Filipinos that he would
lombard Mariquina if any more Amer
lean soldiers were fired on there. They
looked as if they'd have been pretty
glad to take us prisoners, though"
Engler was tired by this time of
story telling, and walked away. He

learn from him the incident of how the
battery horse fell dead under him dur
