Down to my left was Lieutenant
Frank E. Kinds of Minneapolis, a
Former telegrapher. He was hit and
died of his wounds. He used to be
in the nineteenth company, volun-

Ahead of us were some of the sew
enty- eighth battalion in the first
line. They were to take the first
German line in our sector, we were to
take the second and the company
behind us the third. The artillery
strife was the most dazzling thing l
ever witnessed. l looked over and
saw rows of guns go off, each in it's
turn, yet so fast the flame seemed
like tooth edged ribbon all along
the line.
No Use Hurrying
81 stood up and waved my hand
and said, Come on, fellows when the
order came. Over we went. We just
walked ahead. 1t was no use hurrying
the guns played on the German nrSt
line for about three minutes giving
our first wave chance to get up there
and drop in the minute the Smelling
lifted to prevent the Germans from
bringing up their machine guns from
the dugout The first line took these
trenches, and we plunged through
the second We were losing few
men through our own shells, but
only a small percentage. We always
figure on a number of defective
shells in a big strife. Our shrapnell
were breaking over our heads con-
tinuouslv, but that's all right for
shrapnell because it always fell
forward We took the second line

went on ahead to establish that
strong point, anxious to get it done
in case our third wave should have
trouble in taking the third line.
Just as. we started digging. a runner

he was elected representative to the
Dakota legislature. He owned large
and valuable farm in South Bend.
Mr.. Pugh is survived by one son
Edward H. Pugh, who is engaged in
the brokerage business in Duluth. He
was a cousin of the late John E. Pugh
of this city. XIX AK
More than twenty years ago Mr..
Pugh took up his residence in Du-
luth and he served that city in the
state senate for several terms. He
spent considerable time in this city
last fall, being interested in work on
his farm in South Bend. He was an
affable gentleman, a good converse
tionalist, well-informed on public
affairs and took a deep interest in
current events.
The immediate cause Of Mr.. Pugh's
death was heart disease. He had not
been in the best of health for num-
Der of years, although when he was
here last fall he was feeling better than
he had for some time. Mr.. Pugh was
an interesting character who will be
missed by a large circle of acquaint-
ances in the northwest.
Mr.. Pugh at one time represented
Blue Earth county in the Minnesota
legislature. He was quite successful
as a law-maker and always made
friends among his co-workers. His
death removes one of the early resi-
dents of the county and man who
performed his part in the work OF
laying the foundation stone for the
structure that goes to make up this
county.
The remains will be brought to
Minneopa Friday morning at 1890
and the interment will take place
in the Minneopa cemetery.
