PAY TRIBUTE TO KENosHA.
Men of the Thirty sixth Detachment
Have Pleasant Memories of Keno
Sha and The: Training


Sergeant William M. Brown of he
thirty sixth detachment which was re-
Gently in camp at Camp Herring, has
some nice things to say about Keno
sha in an article recently contri-
buted to one of the army papers.
He has this to say:
Kenosha is fine little city with a
population of about $4,000 and every
one seems to have warm place in their
heart for soldier. They always meet
the lad on the street with a smile and
when it is possible he is taken for an
auto ride or out to lunch at their homes.
On Sunday from two to five are
visiting hours at tine barracks and the
citizens come out in their cars and
SIT and talk among the boys and en-
terrain them.
Our camp is only about a mile from
the beach and we have been longing to
take plunge into the waters Of Lake
Michigan, but, unfortunately, the
weather is so cool up here that the
water in the lake is like ice water.
We boys being from Texas and not
the North Pole or Alaska, are I'M
able to stand the torture of such cold
water upon the body.
We are longing to rejoin the "Pan-
ther Division and hope that instead
of joining it in Camp Bowie, Texas,
we will join it somewhere en- route
cover there

soT ALL HEROES AT FRONT
Manus Duooan, Twenty-Year-oid
Irish Lad. Saves rs Miners, but
y. Loses His Own Life.

Not all the deeds OF bravery are In
the war zone. When a fire In the
Spectator mine. near Butte. Mont. en-
tombed several hundred men and
brought death 10 145 others, a twenty
year-old Irish lad named Manus Dug
gan. known as a ''nipper boy" or tool
boy, saved % miners by his coolness
and self-sacrifice. But he paid for de-
votion to duty with his life. His body
was taken from the mine five days
later.
When the first flash OF flames. smoke
and deadly gas cut Off all retreat from
the mine, Duggan was caught with a
number OF companions In distant tun-
mel. Reared in the mines at Butte,
he knew every nook and turn In the
underground workings. He guided a
party OF miners through the tunnels to
n spot comparatively free from gas
and fire. There he constructed a tenn
porary bulwark. He had few timbers
at hand, and principally put of the
fires approach by building wall OF
dirt, rocks and clothing taken from his
companions and the bodies of those
who already had fallen victims to the
fire. AS fast as one temporary wall
was thus constructed. he fell back with
his charges and built another. He
finally directed the party to point
where their rescue was effected by
miners from above. Whether the boy
turned back to seek others or was
overcome while building his last de-
Tense against the rapidly approaching
flames and gas. no one seems to know.
But he died at his post and his body
was buried among the victims OF the
grim tragedy.
But what he did will never perish
from the memory of 25 men who owe
their lives to the "nipper boy" Manus
Duggan.
