fights they had seen, and a dispute
arose as to the most perfect type
of fighter. Finally the matter was re-
ferred to Captain Jack Harris, an
old Indian fighter, who had also seen
service in both the civil and Spanish
wars. Captain Jack considered the
question for a minute and finally said:

SWAN THE BAG BAG.
True Story of the Incident by One
Who Was There.

The following is Lieut. Collin H.
Balls story of crossing of the Bag Bag;
with reference to the crossing of the
Bag Bag river on April IS, during the
advance of CaIumpit, I have this to
say:
Owing to the excitement and con-
fusion which always attend an event of
this character, it would be impossible
to estimate the particular acts of in
dividUals. I would not attempt to say
who all crossed the river at this time,
under fire, for fear of doing some de-
serving soldier a grave injustice.
The popular impression is that Gen
eral Funston called for volunteers in
this particular instance, and such is
not the case. The facts in the matter,
as l recall them, are as follows:
The Twentieth Kansas infantry was
halted under cover of the timber three
quarters of a mile from the Bag Bag

ana drive the enemy from its fortified
position at the farther end of the
bridge. Shortly after the car opened

and ascertain whether there was any

to the end of the bridge. I moved the

four men up to the end of the bridge
and then ran out on the structure. The
insurgents removed the ties and all the
woodwork, so that we made our way
along the top of the iron girder. Arriv-
ing at the end of the broken span, I
removed rubber Doncho from my
shoulders and slid down an iron rod
into the water, followed by the men one
at a time. We swan from here to the

I ut was ticklish crawling along there,

on the top of the stone pier and had
something mighty solid under my feet.
It was necessary to go around it, and
that brought me out in view of the
trenches again. There was no use try

was so dark I couldn't see. and when
the lightning came was partly blind

mostly on touch and somewhat on my
general knowledge of the construction
of bridges.
