Perry Enterprise: W. n. Brandon, the
Noble county boy who was reported kill
ed December 3rd, while lighting hand to
hand with the Filipinos was a member
of the Thirty-third Infantry, to which
several Perry boys belong. He was a
member of the First Territorial regiment
which didn't see any foreign service, and
his sympathies were so truly American
that upon his return he re-enlisted in the
Thirty-third TO see duty in the Philip
pines. Mr.. Brandon was a h0mesteadeI
of this county, having a good claim
near Summer, and was one of the most
popular young farmers in that part OF
the county. His record in the volunteer
service was of the best, his life as a citi-
zen was above reproach and his death
was as brave and tragic as of any soldier
in the present war. Particulars are mea-
ger, but the announcement Of Mr.. Bran
don's death brings sorrow to many warm
friends of Perry and Noble county.
