LETTER FROM WILL ROTH

Port Royal, S. c.. April 80.
Brother John and Wife:
received your letter and sure was
glad to got il. Did 'ou get that
package / sent you? I don't think
that | will ever want to wear the old
clothes again. | will answer both
your letters in one. as / have rot
got much time to write for ! have to
drill every minute of the day. 1t
was hard work at first, but il is just
as easy as rolling off a log when you
get used to it. We took a seven
mile hike today. then went bathing,
and then maybe you think | don't
have some fun swimming. | was
surprised to hear that Chuck had
joined the army.
When l get over to the main bar
racks | will write you letter that
will take two bits 20 send it, so
will cut this one pretty short.
/, There certainly is some bunch
here. they are all happy and so am
|. Tell everyone hello. Kiss little
sis for me and shake Kennels hand
and tell Chuck that / have got some
sea shells and pretty things that l
picked up on the beach. and | will
give them to him when | get home.
| suppose that / will be home when
the war is over because we all get
mustered out as there are too many
hire for Uncle Sam to feed and
nothing to do.
This is a beautiful island. there
are nothing but large palm trees
and maybe you think that it isn't
good to lay in the shade of one OF
them in the afternoon. for it is hot
down here. and when i go to bed l
almost freeze because that is just the
way ii changes here, hot in the day
time and cold as ice at night. May
be you think a fellow don't snooze
good. Am going to write letter to
a friend so will have to close for
this time.

PARTY FROM AUDUBON
STUCK IN THE MUD

A party of Council Bluffs men who
went to Audubon Thursday evening
10 assist in patriotic rally there
arrived home yesterday morning on
the train from Manning in what may
be described mildly as exhausted
condition, with terrible tale of the
condition of the roads between Aud
dubon and Manning as well as in
other portions of this section Of the
state. Included in the party were
Major Donald Macrae. Colonel Mat
A. FINLEY and W. r. Orchard.
The condition of the roads may be
judged in some measure by the fac:
that the Council Bluffs men spent
four hours traversing the nineteen
miles between Audubon and Man
ming. practically the whole journey
being through a heavy snow storm
in Ford car without curtains.
The passengers were obliged on
two occasions to help the car over
places which il was not able to ne
gotiate without assistance. In an
other they waited a half hour while
the plucky driver routed a farmer
from his bed to get a lantern with
which to enable him 20 mend a
broken tire chain The chains. by
the way, needed repairs on at least
half dozen different occasions.
The auto journey was completed
at Manning at ) a. m. three minutes
ahead of the Great Western passen.
ger train. which was five minutes
late. The whole auto crew had done
valiant soldering between slippery
trenches for most OF the night came
trenches without casualties other than
those which can be repaired by dry
cleaners Council Bluffs Nonpariel

MAJOR BURKE DEAD;
. BUFFALO BILL s AGENT
Famous Press Representative
and Indian Fighter Victim
of Pneumonia

Major John M. Burke. press agent OF
the late Buffalo Biz and an old Indian
fighter. died today at the Providence Hos
pital, Washington, of pneumonia. He was
a native of Philadelphia.
Worry over the death of his lifelong
companion, Colonei Cody, is believed to
have hastened Major Burke's end although
pneumonia was given as the cause of
death. Major Burke was seventy-four years
old.
The Major was known on several con-
tinents where he piloted the affairs of
Buffalo Bill. Through his connection with
the great scout he met many royalties in
different parts of the world. He always
had a great fund Of stories on hand and
wore a smile which made him good COM
pany wherever he happened to be.
Major Burke was born in Philadelphia
in the old Seventh Ward. His parents died
before he was two years old. Although he
was adopted by relatives young Burke, be.
ing of an adventurous disposition, soon
started to shift for himself.
The Major never lived in one place more
than a few months at time during the
last forty years of his life When he reg
istered at hotels he wrote the words
United States opposite his name.
He was in Washington when that place
was threatened by General Breckenridge
and General Early, and frequently asserted
in telling Of the events Of the Civil War
that President Lincoln was under fire in
the battle Of Fort Stevens.
AS the Major was often in the public eye,
he met every President of the United States
since Buchanan.
He went west in 1865, but was prevented
from crossing the plains by an uprising of
Indians. He then became acquainted with
Buffalo BILL who was then chief of scouts
under General Phil Sheridan. The friend
ship which they formed then lasted through
life.
The Major was also a great friend of the
kiddies throughout the country. Many of
them made n habit of hanging around the
box office at Buffalo Blls show until the
Major appeared. They knew instead of
being run from the place that they would
be chased inside the show.

FORTY AUTOMOBILES
AND GARAGE BURNED
Fire Causes Loss of From $4,000
to $75, 5,OO0-Gasoline Tanks
Burst

Fire destroyed forty automobiles valued
a. between $4,000 and $4,000, when
flames wrecked the garage of the American
Express Company at 2l7-219 North
twenty second street, shortly before day
break today. Officials of the company fur
nished the loss estimate.
Small tanks of gasoline exploded while
the fire was at its height damaging adja-
cent houses on Spring street.
The garage is in the center of a manu-
facturing district and the firemen battled
vigorously to keep the flames from the
largest tank, in which 500 gallons of gaso-
line were stored. Fire chiefs said that an
exp.osion of this tank would have wrecked
buildings within a radius of at least two
blocks.
The fire started at half past four in the
back of the garage, and although five men
we're working In the place at the time none
knew that the place was on fire until flames
shot up from the back of the building.
Within few minutes after the employees
reached the street, the automobiles were
, abaze and while employees were turning in
an alarm, two men who lived nearby sue.
ceeded in pushing four cars to the street.
They were Thomas McCafferty and William
Stinson.
The origin of the fire is not known, al
though it Is believed to have been started
by friction through an automobile rubbing
against one of the tanks of gasoline.
