An Arkansas City Soldier Writes of His
Experience Abroad.

Experience Abroad.
Arkansas City, March 1S.-Roy
Lane, an Arkansas City boy, who is on
duty in the Philippine islands as a
member of the United States regular
army, writes to his mother. Mrs. E. M.
Lane, some interesting news in regard
to some of his experiences in the for
eign land.
Roy is at present corporal in COM
pany F. Second infantry, and his regi-
ment is stationed at Jolo Jolo. He en-
listed in the army in January, 1906,
and when his regiment had been
placed on board steamer ready for
transportation to the far-off land the
boat caught on fire and was burned
in San Francisco narbor. They were
again loaded and sent to Uncle Sam s
possession in the Philippines. After
reaching the islands Roy was stricken
with an attack of fever and for several
months was unable to be on duty. Dur
ing this time his mother heard MOTH
ing from him and did not know of his
misfortune until he had fully recOv-
cred his health
Now comes the news in letter from
Mr.. Lane, in which he tells of an ex-
perienoe with a Bya Moro woman
while on duty as guard. The native
woman sneaked- up behind Lane and
came near cutting him to pieces with a
large knife. How long he was in over
coming this trouble he does not ex-
plain. but a photograph which he sent
shows the long and deep scars in
flicted by the horrible knife on his
arms and back. The picture is of his
upper body, stripped to the waist. and
the many scars plainly show that the
wounds must have been quite serious
for a time at least. Mr.. Lane says
that at present his regiment is camp
ed in a beautiful cocoanut grove and
he is enjoying life in the Philippines.

his praises this summer will be as lib
