ago, including the famous charge up San
Juan Hill.
When his period Of enlistment had ex-
pired he returned to ST. Louis and re-
manned here for several months. After
his stormy career as a soldier. however,
life as a civilian became too irksome and
he again enlisted, this time with Company
r Of the Seventeenth Infantry, and was
soon after sent to the Philippine Islands.
His regiment, which formed a part Of
the brigade under General Woods. was
ordered to the interior and the letters
which he wrote home indicate that his
two years on the islands have been an
almost continuous warfare.
The last letter received from him was
dated April !, and in 1t he mentions AMI at
tack that was in progress on the Datto
ALI. who are members of the Moro tribe.
It is thought that he was killed in this
skirmish.
The body will be returned to st. Louis
