War having been declared and a
state Of belligerence existing in the
vicinity of Glasgow, an attack was
made Sunday afternoon upon the ene-
my, the object Of the attacking party
being directed against that portion of
the county roadstead lying east from
this city. Rear Admiral Albert Mel
son, the noted land man, was in COM
mand of the attacking forces with
Captain Sam Grossman in charge OF
the good flagship "Cadillac". Assum-
ing a dangerous position we'll in the
forefront of the fleet of twelve dread
naughts with Old Glory bravely wav-
ing from the masthead where it had
been nailed just before the battle op-
ened, the command was given to ad-
vance and the greatest naval charge
in history was in full swing. Like
his compatriot, Dewey, the hardy vik-
ing in command stood at his full
height at the very bow Of the flagship
and informed his gunners to begin fir
ing when ready. The heavily forti-
fled port of Nashua YVES declared to be
the objective of this attack and Rear
Admiral Nelson declared it would be
taken or every fighting man sent to
Davy Johnes' locker. And in fierce,
furious, flashing fight, the day was
won and the victors returned within
four hours, tired, dirty, hungry and
happy.
An enthusiastic member of the at
tacking party was Gunner Horwitz.
who stood by the guns with those
brave sailors, Steel Flack, Chuck Will
son, and Bill Reeser manning the flag
ship battery. Sweat, begrimmed fac
es, dusty clothes and blistered hands
gave evidence of their having battled
loyalty for the great cause. Judge
Rapp, commanding the battleship
Maxwell, with hardy crew of C. L.
Terry, Domar Snyder, and one other
gave conspicuous evidence of their
prowess, the Judge showing greatly
at every attack made. A fat man is
always sure to sweat when big guns
are booming.
In line of battle and where The fight
ing was thickest, steering his gunboat
Buick deftly, was Captain Robert
Champagne, whose gunners, Art Carl
son, Stats Gebhardt and Bob Adams
rendered remarkable service to the vic
tory won. Henry Kleppe with the
super dreadnaught Ford and val
liant crew of heavy weight gunners
consisting of Chas. Wild, Henry Jen,
sen and Carl Danielson, attacked the
enemy fearlessly, coming out of the
fray without scar and the captair
and crew rejoicing.
Another super dreadnaught bull
for carrying off honors, in the com
mand of Captain G. L. McAtee witt
handy crew gave evidence of being
where the smoke was thickest, and re
cefved medals of honor for Drawer!
and courage in face of danger.
Commander Geo. Birmingham, will
his cement armored cruiser Metz an,
dauntless crew was seen everywher'
and carried off big honors for service
during the day.
Conspicuous in the battle formation
was the battleship Overland in Com
mand of Captain C. c. Storing, who's
crew of Sam Rugg, Vern Mcintyre
and Thos. Dignan were in the mos
eminent danger throughout the tryin,
ordeal. First gunner Rugg nearly up
set the battleship many times in hi
anxiety to personally win the battl
and he was offering odds all day, wit
no takers that he could overcome tn
enemy single handed if given the op
portunity.
Captain Alfred Peterson, in com
mand of battleship Maxwell One an
pure viking crew composed of E
Odegaard, H. Halvorson and Pet
Peterson charged the enemy again an
again with victory perched on the
banner always. Pete wanted to shoe
glue at the enemy but was restraine
