ARE THEY LOST?
Remains of Fred M. Jennewine
Accusing Anxiety.

Fears on the Part OF Friends that they
Have Been Hisearried in Some Man
nar-Many Mistakes have Been Made
They We're Started Home Three
Months age-Nothing Definite Heard
Since.
Where is Fred NJ. Jennewines re
mains? This is question that is
being asked every day by people
here who are interested and no sat
isfaetory answer can be given. Have
they been started from Manila?
Have they reached Frisco? Has
some accident occurred that has re
suited in them being sent to the
wrong place? These and many 9th
er questions are arising and there
seems to be no way of finding out.
In letter to the New DOMINION
written three months ago or longer,
Bandmaster Walter A. Mestrezat Of
this place wrote from Manila that
he had seen the dead soldier placed
on Transport to be sent to San
Francisco for transmission to his
relatives in this county The news
was learned with interest here and
it was hoped that he would soon be
at rest in the county that gave him
birth.
Since then nothing has been heard
although the relatives have been ex-
pecting word all the time A few
days ago an inquiry came from
Grafton that has set people to guess
ing The superintendent of the
cemetery up there phoned down
here to ask about the disposition of
Charles L. Garrison of Company /.
18th Infantry.
1t was that feared that Garrison
and IJennewine had gotten mixed up
in some manner and that the re-
mains of the soldier lad from this
county who had given up his life in
the Philippines would never reach
home. A great many accidents of
this kind have occurred since the
plan of sending the bodies home has
been inangurated. The workings
Of the commission having the mat
ter in charge has been very unsatis
factory and another may have been
added to the long list of mistakes
that they have made.
/ Jennewine was member of the
Famous Fighting Tenth Pennsylvan-
ia and was killed by Philippine
bullet in battle with the natives
His brother was with him at the
time. 1t is to be hoped that the APP
prehensions of his friends may be
unfounded and that the remains
may be received here in due time.
