friends in a light vein about
unimportant matters.
Reaching home he placed
himself in a chair to rest and
talk for awhile, and the end
came in few moments as de-
tailed above.
WAS ACTIVE IN BUSINESS.
Mr.. Deatrick was the only
son of the late r. FL. N. Dea-
trick. who for many years was
a prominent business man in
this city, and whose death
several years ago was recalled
by the manner in which the
son expired. The younger man
early displayed many of the
business traits which had
brought a large measure of sue
cess to his father, and had won
for himself an enviable position
in business and financial cir
cles in this city and county.
Following in the footsteps of
his father, he assumed control
of the dry goods and shoe store
in this city, and also conducted
a general store at Kearneysville.
Under the same care and bust.
ness judgment he brought to
bear upon his other business
affairs, both places of business
were successful. He also was
closely connected with other
business and financial enter
prises in this city and county,
and was a stakeholder and di-
rector of the Old National bank;
one of the principal stockhold-
ers anu managers of the Berk-
eley' Orchard Co., and formerly
president of the Martinsburg
Gas Co. He was also an investor
in other business concerns here.
In church matters he was
also we'll known, being a mem
Der of the council of ST. Johns
Lutheran church and treasurer
of the Berkeley Bible society.
Mr.. Deatrick was also a promi-
nent Mason, being a member of
Robert White lodge. a member
of the Royal Arch chapter, No.
2; a member of Palestine COM
mandery, No. 2, and a member
of Osiris shrine, of Wheeling.
He was treasurer of Robert
White lodge, a position his
father held at the time of his
death.
In addition to his places of
business and his investments in
financial and business concerns
in this county, Mr.. Deatrick
was owner, wholly and in part,
of valuable real estate in Mar
tinsburg, among which are the
handsome home on West Burke
street and the brick building
occupied by his dry goods and
shoe establishment and The
Evening World. His estate,
which will be a handsome one,
will also include about $3.50
in life insurance.
ALWAYS LIVED HERE.

man is from Virginia and comes well
by his fighting spirit, being descend
ant of Davy Crockett of Alamo fame.
He came to the Philippines as a wagon
master in General Lawton's division.
He has performed valiant service in
a number Of expeditions against the
outlaws. On the last of these he was
absent eleven months, during which
time he "hiked" 1000 miles through
the tangled Businesses of Samar, the
unruly island which the Spaniards ney-
er conquered and which the Americans
have not wholly succeeded in pacify-
ing. About half of these Samarites are
fanatical desperadoes, and the question
Of their subsection is one of the prob
lens which confront the administra-
ton.
Young Crockett was sent into the
country with a small detachment Of
constabulary to penetrate district in
fected with hostiles. There are no
roads in Samar, and when the troops
are sent after these bandits the warn
ing is spread by means Of sentries who
blow conch horns from the hilltops.
BY this means of signaling the news of
the approach Of an enemy the alarm is
echoed over the valleys for hundreds of
miles in few hours time.
Crockett and his men soon found
themselves in a deserted country, but
they held pluckily to the trail. The
young American and his faithful ma
tive soldiers suffered every conceivable
hardship. They waded in mud to their
waists, were thrown into streams by
capsized boats and marched many wea-
ry days and weeks with wet feet. AS
soon i'll from fever and rheumatism.
Only on three occasions were they able
to corner the outlaws ald force the
fight. Once when the company was
separated a force Of 200 ladrones were
surprised by a squad Of thirteen of the
constabulary. By the time Crockett,
with only sixteen men, arrived to re-
enforce them eight of the original thir-
teen had been killed.
The fighting which took place on this
occasion was of the most desperate
character. The American was in the
heart Of the jungle, miles from the
nearest army post, his support consist
ing Of only a small, worn out, bedrag-
gled force Of Filipino soldiers. Yet the
outlaws were finally repulsed, leaving
Seventy-three of their number dead Oh
the field. Crockett did not lose a single
man Of his squad Of sixteen reinforce
ments who had saved the situation.
That the plucky Virginian was in the
thick of the fight is shown by the fact
that he was shot and cut four times
and grazed twice He himself killed
eleven OF his antagonists. If he had
fallen during the fight his men would
have been annihilated
Their greatest hardships came later.
There was no doctor to treat their
wounds, which they had to sew UP with
hemp. Before they could reach the
coast their rations gave out, and for
fifteen days they suffered terribly from
the fortunes Of starvation. At first they
tried to get along by eating roots and
bark and by making salt from sea wa
ter. Bats, hawks and lizards soon be-

came acceptable food. They manage
to exist for several days on the meat
obtained from a shark and devilfsn.
Finally, when despairing, they encoun-
tered two large, fifteen foot snakes,
which they proceeded to kill and eat.
Crockett eventually delivered his brave
command through to the coast without
losing a single man except those killed
in the fight. Although the expedition
ended several months ago, Captain
Crockett has not fully recovered from
his wounds. He is considered one of
the most dauntless men that ever serv-
ed in the Philippines and has been CIV
en- medal for his bravery.
Lieutenant Edward Y. Miller is an
other American who has won renown
in the Philippine service. Miller is gov
ernOr of the province Of Paragua, the
most isolated portion of the Philippine
archipelago He, too, has successfully
led native troops against the renegades.
He is the governor of zone contain
ing 200 small islands, the total land
area Of which is 5000 square miles. In
this province there are $4,000 savages,
who speak ten different languages, yet
the total white population consists Of
only thirteen Americans.
These exiles are Governor Miller and
his secretary, two constabulary officers,
three schoolteachers, one customs in
spector and three discharged soldiers
who have embarked in the lumber bust
ness. The only white women in the
province are the wives Of the governor
and the customs inspector. These two
ladies live $50 miles apart. Governor
Miller's capital is hundred miles from
the nearest port of any other province
in the Philippines and is 275 miles from
Manila. Although the Millers have been
in Paragua three years, they have ne1f-
er had a white visitor. The people of
their islands know almost nothing
about the ways of civilization, because
the Spaniards made no attempt to oc-
cupy this portion of the archipelago
when they were in possession there.
The outlaws Of the Philippines, called
ladrones or bandoleros, are constant
menace to that part Of the native pop
ulation which would engage in peace
full pursuits. The outlaws demand trib-
ute from community, and if this is
not forthcoming they swoop down up
on it to murder, loot and burn.
1t is said that one Of the noted ban
dOlero chiefs who is now causing a
great deal Of trouble in one of the
southern provinces was formerly an
Independent farmer who turned bandit
because the local hemp buyer, who was
cacique, continually cheated him out
Of the fruits OF his toll. This farmer
would carry his little crop on his back
over mountain trails for miles, only to
receive few cents for it, when in real
ity it was worth as many dollars. If
he tried to sell to any one but the boss
he was punished. AS consequence of
such treatment he gave up trying to
make peaceful living and on more
than one occasion has visited terrible
vengeance for his wrongs.
The poor countryman has no concep-
ton Of the idea of liberty of personal
privilege. He is slave and chattel in
many respects. If he cares to rebel
against those who hold him in bondage

they have the power to crush him in
more ways than one. The government
has great task to suppress the rule of
the petty bosses and feudal lords in the
Philippines.
Striking proof Of the state of affairs
is shown by great case now engaging
the attention of the courts of Manila.
The richest plantation owner in the
Philippines is being tried for encour-
aging outlawry.
This man owns a principality consist
ing of many acres of land, upon which
there are thousands of employees and
countless herds of cattle and caribou.
1t became known to the authorities
that he had given money to the Ia
drones in that locality. The evidence
brought forth at this trial revealed
how deep rooted and pernicious this
system has become. This millionaire
farmer admitted that It was cheaper to
pay the bandits a certain sum not to
modest his stock or people than to re-
fuse their demands and suffer loss
from their depredations. How hope
less is the case of the average poor
man when the richest and most power
full citizen in the country is found
yielding to the influence of brigandagei
Another case was found where a rich
plantation owner had kept a band of
ladrones in his employ in order to keep
other thieves away from his locality.
