THIRTY. THIRD REUNION.
One Of the Boys Has Recently Been
Mustered Out.

The mails of yesterday brought a
surprise for the boys of the Thirty
third Regiment, who are to hold re-
union In Oskaloosa September 8,
and 10, in the announcement of the
death of Peter j. Haze, a fellow
known and liked in every company
lof the regiment. Peter was member
of Company G and after the muster
out of the regiment joined the regu-
lars and as a musician travelled to all
parts of the country. He was a faith
full attendant at the reunions of the
survivors of the old Tnirty-third and
was the life of meeting. Few, II
any of the members of the regiment
knew of the death of the comrade and
the announcement causes greatest
surprise and deep regret. When the
announcements of the reunion were
sent out, one of the circulars telling
of the coming gathering was mailed
to Haze at his former address. The
announcement brought a reply from
Mrs. Agnes Haze at Van Couver,
Washington, stating that Peter, her
husband, dropped dead at eight o'clock
on the morning of October 26, 1907,
from heart disease, induced by Cuban
fever. The death occurred only a
short time following the last reunion
at Pella, and at which Peter was an
attendant. The announcement of the
death Of the old soldier in some way
failed to be circulated locally. Mrs.
Haze writes good letter to Secre-
tary John N. Martin. wishing the boys
success at the coming reunion and
all kinds of a good time. ., v..sT
w. A. Quaintance. who lives at
Monticello, sends word that he will
be here If possible. He has been very
