In the two or three weeks that
Funston and his men devoted to the

Forms Kansas Regiment.

There are not many people that
know Of Funston's military activities
before he Joined the United States
cClors, and his Cuban career, there
fore, is all the more interesting.
He had just about recovered his
health and strength. when the war
with Spain was started. Immediately
Leccming active. in his home state
Of Kansas, Funston organ ;zed the
Twentieth regiment of Kansas Volun-
teers. a body Of free-hearted, heavy
f:sted, hard-riding and hard-fightins
men, much after the order of Roose
velt's Rough Riders. OF this regi-
ment he WAS made colonel, and almos
as soo.l as the regiment was mustered
into service, it received orders to
move to San Francisco.
Funston found a br de, during his
short stay at San Francisco, and

Then followed career Of daredevil
exploits which culm' mated in the car
ture of Aguinaldo. But the arrest of
the Filipino was only the elimination.
Before it. occurred scores of Incl
dents which proved the mettle OF
Funston and his men. The Twentieth
Kansas were volunteers, but their ac-
tive serv &c had hardly started before
the Filipinos began to fear them
especially the Filipinos have al
ways feared all American men who
happened to wear blue clothing with
brass buttons.
Funston pulled off a "Stunt" lust p
little bit more than pe,t,l,ular On
one de of a stream, Il band Of 400
to 600 Filpinos were under cover Of
trees and bitches. A rude bridge was
thrown over the stream by he Amer

WALTER B. T
Assaulted and Robbed

Mr.. Tom Triplett, brother of Mr..
Nathan Triplett, was assaulted and
robbed of 5000 yesterday about u n
down just across Hashuqua creek bridge
seven and a half miles west Of Macon.
The deed wss committed by two ne
groes and Mr.. Triplett and Mr.. Pinky
Hemphill, who was almost in sight at
the time, were able to give a good
description, and one Nick Estes has
been arrested and is in Jail. One, who
was a mulatto, wearing a light colored
hat, hit Mr.. Triplett, who was riding
in a buggy, with a stick. AS he fell
out of the buggy, the black negro hit
him and he was rendered unconscious
and it was six hours after before he
gained consciousness. Mr.. Triplett
had about 5000 in his pocketbook, and
realizing that robbery was the cause of
the assault, he attempted to throw the
book 1 the weeds, but when the black
hit him he did not know whether he
was successful in throwing it or NOT.
Mr.. Hemphill was coming from Macon
and was in sight of the bridge at the
time and Mr.. Walter Hunter in COM
pany with Rev. Mr.. Barley, of the
Baptist church in Macon, was coming
from the other direction. They saw
MIR. Triplett lying apparently lifeleSs
and Mr.. Barley jumped out and lifted
him up. He was strangling badly from
blood in his throat and MI. Hunter be-
lieves that had they been five minutes
later Mr.. Triplett would have died
from strangulation.
Mr.. Hemphill gave a general descrip-
tion of the negroes and when Mr.. Trip
lett became conscious he gave the
same description. Nick Estes, who
has a criminal record, was arrested
this morning near his home in Macon
and when asked where the other negro,
Will Spence, was, he replied that he
twas in the house." Spence made his
escape. though, and a not been ap-
pretended.
Mr.. Triplett, said one of the negroes
asked him for some change in Macon
W ednesday night and he recognized
him just as he was hit.
Mr.. Triplett was brought to town
today by DR.. Hubbard and ne positively
identified Estes as one of his assailants.

mine the sanity of j. II. Barnett, who

sane. A number of witnesses from
