EXCITING DAY OF 1898.
Reunion Of the Forty Ninth Iowa at
Cedar Rapids Recalls Incidents
of Spanish American War.

The proposed reunion of the For
ty Ninth Iowa Volunteer Infantry at
Cedar Rapids on June list and End
reminds us of the stirring times
thirteen years ago this month when
Co. "E" was in camp at Des MONIES
and was daily expecting orders to
proceed south to the seat of war.
Many will remember how Co. E
responded to the, call and left on
the morning of April 20, 1898, in
response to orders from Adjutant
General Byers. Many Of the scenes
attending the departure Of the boys
are still vivid in our minds, more
especially those of our citizens who
We're closely related to the volunteers
On June End, 1898, Co. was mus
tered into the United States SER
vice as Co. E, Forty Ninth Iowa Vol
unteer Infantry, Later in June, un-
der orders from the War Department,
the regiment left Iowa for Camp
Cuba Libre at Jacksonville, Florida.
There they remained in camp until
November, when the regiment was
removed to Camp Onward, Savannah,
Ga, preparatory to embarking for
Havana.
In December 1898 the regiment
took ship for Havana and remained
in Camp Columbia until April 1898,
returning to Savannah at which
point the boys were mustered out on
May 10, 1899.
Returning to their homes, the
boys took up their work in civil life,
where they had left 1t thirteen
months previous but have since
scattered all over the United States.
In the thireen years the regiment
mustered out, there has never
been gathering or reunion of any
kind for that reason, the proposed
reunion at. Cedar Rapids promises to
be largely attended.
The committee in charge of ar.
arrangements has received responses
to invitations from all parts Of the
country, from Patterson, Washing
ton from New York City, from Mem
phis, Tennessee, from Jefferson, S.
Dakota. and from Cody, Wyoming,
this fact indicating the extent in
which the old members of the regi-
ment have scattered.
The executive committee, Room
46 Kimbal Building. Cedar Rapids,
will be most grateful for information
as to the present residence of any
of the boys of Co. E who served in
the regiment. They want to get in
touch with each and every member
of the regiment.

chant, Held as AccOmpIice.

Minden, Kan, May 1S.-Local people
were startled when they learned that
a woman who was prominent in Barton
county for many years had been lock-
ed In the common Jail at Shreveport.
La, along with her husband charged
with attempted blacknlail and kidnap-
ing. The couple mentioned are Mr..
and Mrs. Tom Allen, who left Lamar
about nine years ago.
A French women in Shreveport, who
was bosom friend of Mr.. Allen, re-
Gently received a letter through the
mail stating that unless she gave up
big sum of money her little 9-year-
old grandchild would be kidnapped and
il that event it would cost her $4,000
to get the child back, if she got her
back at all. The chances were the
little girl would be put to death.
Mrs. Filiquer, the woman threaten
ed, gave the letter to the chief Of po-
lice. The officers worked faithfully on
the case. but hey could get no clue.
Finally another letter came last Thurs
day, saying that the writer would let
Mrs. Filiquer off if she would place $500
be.,iEd a certain cigar store the next
night. The officers instructed the wo-
man to place the money at the ap-
pointed place at the hour mentioned,
and they would see what happened.
Mrs. Filiquer did so.
Woman Picks Up Money.
Presently a woman, evidently from
the rooms above the store came out
into the alley and began the search.
She stopped over and 1t looked as If
she picked someahing up. In an in
slant she was surrounded by the walt
ing police. She grew deathly pale for
a moment but she recovered herself
with a quickness that was amazing.
She would say nothing. but when
the officers wanted to search her she
Indignantly refused. Finally after sat
isfying himself that the woman had Sc
cured the money, the chief of police
ordered an officer to hold each of the
woman's arms, while he opened the
front of her waist. He unfastened
the front of her upper garment, dis
closing every one of the marked bills.
The woman was told she would have to
go to jail
Mrs. Filiquer was confronted with
the woman who had unquestionably
written her the Black Hand letters.
She almost fell in swoon as she look
ed upon the features of her nearest
and dearest friend, Mrs. Allen. The
two women became acquainted in New
Orleans a number of years ago. After
they moved to Shreveport they con-
FiIiuuer had shown each of the Black
Hand letters to Mrs. Allen, who had
read them over in well simulated hor-
ror and deeply sympathized with her
in her trouble.
Mr.. Allen was also arrested and lock-
ed in Jail along with his wife. The
officers seem to think that he was an
accessory to the crime, as they claim
ed they had seen him out in the alley
evidently hunting for something.
The Aliens left Lamar in 1902.
