) One of the dramatic stories of the war
In the Philippines is told in the New

during the Malelos campaign Lawton
related the incident at gathering Of
officers in Manila; in his own words it
was thrilling piece of dramatic recita-
ton.
@'Soon after leaving Manila" he said,

greatly annoyed by their sharpshoot-
Srs. One morning 1 had ordered halt
TO make a reconnaissance. Sitting on
a log some distance in front of where
my staff and 1 were standing / saw n
man in civilians clothes cooly watch
ing the operations. I asked who he
was, and one of my staff told me that
he did not know, but he had seen the
snan on the firing line several times,
and, although he had been frequently
ordered to the rear, he as frequently
disobeved the orders. The lieutenant
added: He has been continuously in
front of our lines under fire, but the
men can't keep him away
sI ordered the stranger sent to me
and said TO him: Who are you and
what are you doing thereT He replied:

Tsidro the enemy had crossed the river
on our approach and fired the bridge.
''Then Young's men showed their
xnettie. The brave fellows waded into
the water on either side of the bridge,
and, using their campaign hats to dip
UP the water, soon put out the Are on
the bridge. while Young and a man
Damed Harrington, his lieutensnt,
armed only with revolvers, stood in
plain sight on the bridge covering them.
The brave officers held the bridge amid
n storm of bullets till Young fell, shot
&hrough the knee. Harrington ran to
&is wounded leader and with pistol in
each hand stood over him picking of
Filipinos. He held his post till the sol
diers came up and carried Young off to
the rear. Later Young was sent to the
Manila hospital. Then Harrington, at
$he head of his scouts, charged at the
Eilpinos and drove them out of their
trenches, running far ahead of the reg
-slar troops until called back by me, as
4 feared they would be ambushed.
"a few days later Harrington took his
rne7 to the front and after a hard march
stopped for supper at four o'clock He
sat down, leaning against a bank, and
told the men to go ahead and he would
come in atmess call. Mess call sounded,
but he did not respond, so his men went
to look for him. They found him
still leaning against the bank, with his
mead resting on his breast and his rifle
lying by his side. A stray mauser bull
let had passed through his neck, Kill
ing him while he slept.
The next morning sent this person
al message to Young in the Manila hos
pital: Harrington died at four o'clock
last night A few hours later an order
iy came up to my tent with the message
from the chief surgeon of the hospital:
Young died at four o'clock last night.
SO the two brave men had closed their
last campaign at almost the same mo-
ament."
