MINERAL POINTS MARINE HERO.
Commander in Chief, John J. Pershins,
Awards Citation TO Henry Springer
for Exceptional Gallantry.

Within the week past our fellow-citi-
zen, Charles F. Springer, has received
a document of infinite value and one
which surcharges his very being with
parental and patriotic pride. 1t is that
of Citation for Bravery" signed by
John J. Pershing, Commander in Chief
Of the American army in France. We
choose to call it a diploma than which
nothing more priceless could be be-
slowed upon an American citizen by
the government. 1t reads:
"CITATloN Private Henry Godfrey
Springer, for distinguished and ex-
/ ceptional gallantry at st. Etienne.
France, in the operations of the
American Expeditionary Forces, in
testimony thereof, and as an ex-
preston of appreciation of his
valor, | award him this citation.
Awarded Mar. q, 1919.
JOHN ]. PERsHING,
Commander in Chief.
During the strenuous action near st.
Etienne. from October Sd to 9th. 1918,
twenty-five members of the 3rd Bat.
talon, 9th Division, u. S. Marines, of
which Private Springer was one, dis
played wonderful courage and heroism
far beyond the call of duty by repeat
adlu avnnoipu tbar,ealyoa 10 ,.ack;,.o
gun and artillery fire to maintain per-
feet liaison and obtain valuable infor-
nation regarding the enemy. With no
regard for personal safety. and with
practically no rest for six days and
nights, these twenty-five marines con-
tinued to perform this heroic duty until
relieved from the first line.
This we gather from an explanatory
paragraph found in an official war pub
LEGATION of l76 pages, issued Dec. 3lst,
1918, treating of the gallantry of the
I'd. Division, then on duty as the army
of occupation in Germany.
Hank" is the only volunteer ma
rine out of Mineral Point for the great
world war He has experienced the
whole of Americas part therein, hav-
ing participated in the desperate charge
by try American forces at the Marine
and nelleau Woods which halted the
Huns decisively and was in the front
line Of attack in the Argonne on the
18th of November when the Huns
back was broken. His experience in
cludes being wounded at Belleau Woods
which necessitated hospital care for a
few weeks. He also knows what it is
to be gassed. In maintaining the dis
tinction by which the u. S. Marines are
known "Devil Dogs" Hank upheld
his end well.
This marine soldier is likely to ar
rive home in the near future, and Wen
all be more than glad TO meet him and
on behalf of Uncle Sam extend thanks
for services so well and timely rendered.

LIGHTNING SLABS CHURCH.


One of the fiercest electric storms
our city has experienced this season
was encountered last Monday evening
| about O'Clock. During the biff- band
of heavens artillery shot from an es-
pecially fierce outburst the gable on the
north side of Congregational church was
struck at the extreme outward point.
BY some mysterious chance no serious
damage resulted, A datS streak down
ward which can be seen from a distance
of hundred yards or more is the oniy
outward evidence of the stroke. Inside
the building there is little or no sign of
damage. What detected the electric
current is still speculative subject?
The main body of the edifice being of
wood and the roof OF wooden shingles,
it is next to miracle that the building
was not set afire. The heavy fall of
rain prevailing at the time may have
served as a checker.

An old-time fisherman tells us that
he broke his back one day just before
last weeks rain trying to dig up some
angleworms, but although he went
deeper than ever before he was unable
to find one worm. 1t was new expert
ence for him and simply goes to show
that the ground was not only dry but
unusually hard.
