SAN ANTONIO, Tex Feb 90 -
)f all careers Of modern times none
GEMS fuller Of sheer adventure than
that of General Frederick Funston,
no died while seated in the lobby Of
It. Anthony hotel last night.
He was born in New Carlisle, Ohio,
lovember ., 1865, and was of Scotch
rish ancestry. His parents We're Ed
yard Hogue Funston and Ann Mitch
! Funston. When he was two years
f age the family moved to Kansas,
there the father was an active fig
re in political life for quarter of
century. He served In the Kansas
ouse and senate for number of
erms and was u. s. representative
rom the second congressional dis
rict for eleven years.
The son did not share his fathers
aste for politics. After completing
high school course at lola, young
Frederick failed in his attempt to
;ain entrance to West Point. Immedi-
tely he started on his first search of
ldventure which took him down in
,lexico, where he remained long
nough to learn the language and inn
)ibe general idea of the Mexican
haracter.
At the age of 20 he returned to
<ansas and entered the state uni
ersity at Lawrence. BY way of
making his expenses he engaged in
ailroading. At this time he was de-
cribed as being 5 feet 3 inches in
eight and weighing less than 100
lounds. But the fearlessness char
.cterized him later in. life was very
much in evidence. On one occasion
he is pictured as calling the bluff of
two hundred pound bully and COM
ing out victor. On another he kick
cd six shooter out of the hands of
an intoxicated cowboy who insisted
ipon making trouble for passengers

he man of his dangerous weapon. he
made him leave the train and chased
him quite distance down the track
10 assure himself there would be no
urther trouble from that source.
He remained at the University for
our years but as far as books were
concerned achieved Indifferent sue
cess, and failed to receive his college
degree.
Later he embarked upon news
paper career in Kansas City. This
proved too tame for him and shortly
he responded to call of the wild
and joined an expedition bound for
Death valley, California. For weeks
he and his companions lived in n tenn
perature that reached as high as 1877
degrees. More than half the party
Uttered terribly as result of their
experience. One of Funston's horses
died of exhaustion and another me.
lcath by going over a cliff and came
;ery near carrying his rider with him.
Funston's next adventure took him
TO a cold climate. In 1893 he was ap-
pointed commissioner of the depart
mcnt of agriculture to explore Alas
ka. As was most characteristic Of
him he took the most dangerous
routes. On one occasion he crossed
the Chikoot pass and made the long
est trip ever covered on snow shoes
by white man. He jouineyed down
the Yukon river LILO miles in an
open boat, not seeing human be-
ing for weeks. All the time he was
busy gathering botanical specimens
and cataloeuing them,

been successful it appears the his

might have been very different.
Shortly he returned to the United
States and secured Il position as au-
ditor in a Santa Fe office, where it
5 said he devoted considerable time
20 familiarizing himself with the
guns used in modern warfare.
A few months later he sailed for
Cuba where he enlisted in the army
and was made Lieutenant of artillery
under Gomez. For two years he
fought under Gomez and Garcia
the latter the man to whom the fa-
mous message was sent. During the
time he received gunshot wounds, In
he arm, hip and lung. His bravery
won for him the position of major
and command of artillery. Malaria
n his system and the suffering from
his wounds necessitated his taking u
ick leave While bound for Havana,
he was captured by the Spanish and
My saved his life by eating the pa
pers he was carrying and telling his
oaptors he was on his way to the
spanish lines TO surrender.
He made his way to New York by
being smuggled across on the Ward
liner. After a few weeks stay in
america he got the malaria out Of
1is system but not the love of ad-
yenture.
When the Spanish American war
role out he organized the twentieth
egiment Of Kansas volunteers, and
| vas made colonel Much to his cha
,rin his regiment never got farther
han Tampa, Florida, before the war
,nded.
Before the campaign in the Phillip
mes, Funston, or the Fighting Ban
am of the Army" as he was called,
was very little known considering his
extraordinary experience as an ex-
,lorer and soldier In the Cuban
army.
In the Philippines he became the
nation's military hero. In 1901 he
rganized the campaign that captur-
ed the Filipino leader, Aguinaldo.
During the same month he was made
brigadier- general, at an. age most
successful soldiers are serving as leu
tenants.
While stationed in San Francisco
before leaving for the Philippines, he
net and married Eda Blankart, n
sreat beauty, who possesses marked
.trength Of character and high de-
rec Of culture as musician. His
lcquantance with the woman he won
or his life companion had been of
six weeks duration, his courtship eH-
ended over period OF few days
and his honeymoon was walk
round the block just few hours be-
fore his ship sailed for the Philip
pines.
When the San Francisco earth
quake occurred II years ago. he was
n charge Of the soldiers stationed
here and had a most important part
n bringing order out of chaos When
our soldiers were sent to Vera Cruz
he changed the population at that
point from foe to friend, restored or
Ter, set the courts in operation,
started schools, stopped gambling
and cleaned up streets and cellars in
n manner that was a revelation TO
he Mexicans.
During the recent Mexican trouble,
It is understood he chafed greatly un-
der the restrain imposed upon the
army officials. The feeling was gen
sral, had he been given free hand
the Mexican problem would have
,een solved when death called him.
