Rocky Ford enterprise., 1903-10-30

A portion Of Hon. n. NJ. HoEE's mission
to Rocky Ford this week was to look after
the interests Of two old soldiers, one Of
whom. Fred Mehrin, is in very feeble con-
dition, Mr.. Mehrin is a veteran Of two
nations and served two terms in each.
His second term in Germany was cut
short by his coming 10 America with
Carl Sehurz. who was prominent figure
IN American army and political circles
Mr.. mehrin also enlisted twice in the ser
vice Of the union. He is now in eondl-
ton to deserve to the fullest extent the
aid which grateful government can give
its defenders Congressman HogF had
been in correspondence with w. D. n.

wished him to give the ease a personal
examination tina, it might have the needed
