TWEN1Y-ONE YEARS IN
ARMY IS RUNGE'S BIT

This is the enviable record held by
| Sergeant Emil Runge, Company L
Nineteenth infantry, Ray, Ariz
He is given credit for % years
service due to the fact that he has
had a great. deal Of foreign duty for
which, up until 1914, the government
counted time thus. spent as double. In
reality he has served only 21 years
in obeying the laws and orders as
were passed down to him.
Enlisting in 1898, to serve our coun-
try in the apparent hour of need and
remaining with it up to the present
hour, is a record of achievement TO
be proud of and worthy of emulation.
When enlisting in 1898 little did he
think that he would spend the next
22 years in the service of his country
His first enlistment was for the
coast artillery. His next was in the
infantry, which he recognized as be-
ing the best branch to serve in, for he
has remained in it ever since.
His has been an interesting life, for
it was filled with action a plenty
from putting down. the Chinaman in
his rebellion or chasing the Moros in
the Philippine islands, down to watch
ing the actions of distJUbers of the
peace along the Mexican border.
He landed in the Philippine islands
April %, 1899 Was in the moving
expedition June 2 to 8; was in the
advance to San Fernando, taking part
in the battle at that place on August
8; took part in the capture of Calu-
lut and Santa Rita; in the night at
tacks at Guagna, September II to 13.
He had eleven engagements from Oc-
tober 10 to 20; took part in the cap
ture of Mabalacat and the battle of
| Bambam; advance to Taclac, Novem-
Der %, 1899; in first expedition to
China, June, 1900; advance to Peking,
August 4, and in battle of Pertsam,
August 5, 1900. Later he was in the
expedition to Samar, June, 1907. His
life has been too filled with active
ness to continue further in detail.
Many of his engagements ended in
close encounters with the bayonet
and hand-to-hand fighting.
Not little of his life was spent in
hardships, for many weeks passed
when he was deprived of the absolute
necessities of lie.
Looking back upon his long service
the hours of pleasure and the hours
of battle-he can't help but smile a
smile of contentment for his past
years of service are all fond memories
to him now.
He attempted to leave army life
once or twice, but couldn't. There
was too great fascination presented.
He is now thinking Of what he'll do
when he does leave the service. What
he'll do without the boys.
When Sergeant Runge receives his
finals, Uncle Sam will say goodbye
to an honest and ever-loyal soldier,
one who did his, duty as he saw'it and
for which the critics are bound to call
good.
Company I lost several men during
the past week, they having been dis
charged.
Charley G. Boyle, bugler, left for
Omaha, Neb.
Melvin Baxter left for Aberdeen

SERIOUS OPERATION

Word has been received in Ray of
the successful operation on Mr.. ]. w.
Phillips, formerly of Ray. He started
to Toronto, but only succeeded in get
ting as far as Kansas City, where he
was taken i'll. The examination and
subsequent operation revealed the
presence in his body of three pieces
of steel, the combined weight Of which
amounted to six ounces. These were
in such a position they were endan-
gering his health, and this led to his
desire to return to Canada for his
operation. Pus sacs began to form,
which necessitated the immediate re-
moval. The many friends of Mr.. and
Mrs. Phillips will be pleased to learn
of his successful operation and will be
glad to see them upon their return
to Ray.
