From letter received we CLEAN the fol-
lowing: Corporal Geo. E. Frost, 4th Infan-
try U. 5. a., Manila, ?. l., has received an
appointment as inspector of the custom
house of that port. Mr.. Frost is a graduate
OF the Beverly, Mass, high school 81, later
taking two years course in the business
training department, which has well fitted
him for his position. On July 8th, in COM
petition with over three hundred appi-
cants, he was selected to fill this position.
1t is with pleasure that we record the
above. for Mr.. Frost was born near here
and his father and grandfather were long
residents of this place. 1t may be remem-
bered that George Frost was the man who,
at the exposure of his own life, saved the
lives of several soldiers by shooting insane
Captain McQuinston at Manila. The press
report at the time was as follows: Captain
Charles McQuinston,7 commanding officer
of Company NJ, 4th Infantry, stationed a.
Cavite VIjeo, was shot and killed by pri-
yate soldier after ne had killed one of his
sergea nts in fit of insanity" Further
details are given as follows: without any
warning the captain drew a revolver and
fired at Sergeant Dunn, killing him in
stantly. He then commenced to fire pro-
miscuously into the company until Private
Frost, who was on the scene, being in peril
of his life seized gun and fired the fatal
shot. The soldier is entirely eXonerated as
the captain showed that he was beyond
control, and had big arsenal Of rifles and
ammunition at his disposition with which
he could do up the whole company"
Letters later showed that Mr.. Frost was
commended by his superior officers in the
act and was promoted for his GOODNESS and
bravery. The many friends of Mr.. Frost's
people are rejoiced to hear of his promo
ton. The interesting letters from Mr..
Frost in the Beverly Eyening Times inii-
cate that George is typical Vermonter
and is making mark of which his State
and his friends are proud.
