 Mir Loerpabel received word of the .wounding of his son, Harrison Loerpabel, formerly of Nome now at Cienfuegos, Cuba where he is em- ployed by the Davison Sulphur and tary-treasurer of the company writ ing from Cuba, February g says. Cuba as you may have noticed in the papers is undergoing another re volution and rather suddenly band of rebels attacked the mine where William was working. Unfortunate ly your son was shot and received four bullet wounds before the re- bels cleared out of the camp. Two wounds are in the arm, one in the thigh and one in the abdomen. He received medical attention immedi- ately and few hours after was taken to the hospital at Cienfuegos. There he was at once operated upon and the doctors reported that the abdominal wound was naturally the worst but no vital organs had been cut, the bullet having lodged in the muscles. I have been up to the hospital to see him today and his condition is most encouraging . He is having the best medical atten- tion and the hospital is equal to any in the United States with staff ot highly qualified and American train ed doctors and good graduate nur- ses'' The letter pays a high tribute to the esteem in which the young man was held by all who knew him.
