Nehrnskn Hero Who Died in Tire.
The Omaha World-Herald of last Sun
lay contained a likeness of L. C. Burnett,
jr., who recently lost his life in the Cedar
Rapids, Iowa, fire and has the following to
say of him. The young man was a son of
L. C. Kurnett, sr , of Nebraska City
who is a natron o The Herald and U
well known in Alliance.
"Louis C. Kuruett, who lost his life in
saving others in a hotel fire at Cedar
Rapids, la., recently, was one of the ster
ling young men of Nebraska who had dis
tinguished himself in many ways, even
though ho lived but tueuty-nve, jears.
"It was while on his way to California in
1S9S that the war with Spain seemed to
give him opportunity for adventure, and
he immediately joined Colonel Torrey's
rough riders. Hut he was disappointed in
not getting to Cuba on account of the acci
dent to Colonel Torroy and his troops
when eight men were killed in a railroad
collision at Tupelo, Miss. In ' September
of that year he cast his fortunes with the
Thirty-second infantry at Fort Leaven,
worth, and went to the Philippines. He
took part in sdveral engagements until
Aguinaldo was driven out of Tarlac. .In
eory fight in which his regiment engaged
he carried provisions to the men on the
firing line.
"In September he left Manila for Hong
Kong, Canton and other places in China,
The first of the year he sailed for South
Africa, hoping to find some excitement
there. Hat the ship was caught in a storm
off the cape, and did not stop until it
readied St. Helena. So he concluded not
to go bnck. but returned to New York. In
all he traveled j, 300 miles, starting out
with but Si 5, which was mostly all paid
out for his equipment at the beginning of
his journey to the Philippines.
"He never seemed to know what fear
was, uui was gentie and aitectionate to
ward his parents and friends. He enjoyed
his trips alone with his dog when at home,
sometimes tramping for miles through the
fields and woods.
"Burnett was the last person toleave the
burning hotel after doing all in his power
to save the other inmates. And when he
fell through the plate glass to the pave
ment Wow he remarked in a faint, but
cheerful voice as they picked him up:
".Veil. boys. I guess I'm done for this
time. Take my father's address and Mml
for him.'
In the hospital he was cheerful and pa
tient, repeatedly thanking attendants for
their kindness, saying, 'Sisters, you are
very good to me, thank you.' His last
words were: 'Turn up the light, turn up
.lH4tim. upon his lip "
