Editor Frontier, t
O’NeilJ,, Nebraska, '
Dear Editor:
The near approach of Flag Day
impels me to write you of a matter I
have long had in mind. It is this:
What became of the flag that
Company M., 3rd 'Nebraska Volun
teers, carried through the Spanish
War? Was it ever officially turned
over to Holt County? It should be
on display at the Court House at
O’Neill in the same manner as the
Regimental Colors and Flag are dis
played in the Capitol building at Lin
coln. Can you let me know if this
has been done?
On Memorial Day, I marched
through our city streets with some 150
of my comrades of ’98. At the note
•f the bugle we were off, every man
to step with the old army swing of
the long-gone service days. Oh, the
memories that were awakened and
came flooding through my mind to an
almost overwhelming degree. 1 was
a boy again, in camp at O’Neill.
There were the County Commission
er with the flag, and Captain Cross
accepting in behalf of Company M.,
promised it should be returned to
Holt County in honor, at any cost.
Then on to Omaha for regimental
muster, and from there to the fever
atricken camp at Jacksonville. Flor
ida. Here, with scores of others, I
was furloughed home on sick leave,
in October, under circumstances that
have burned into my memory that
can never be effaced. As our tram
got under way, there was the crash
of the firing squad’s rifles, for two
cars were filled with the bodies of
comrades of northern regiments; they
had given the “last full measure of
devotion’’ and were going Home, not
on a furlough, but to occupy little
green tents whose portal never out
ward swings, there to await the
Great Commander's final reveille.
“On fame’s eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread,
While Glory guards w i t h solemn
round
The bivouac of the dead.”
Sixty days of Holt County’s brac
ing air and I was back to the regi
ment at Savannah, Georgia, feeling
as good as ever. From Savannah the
3rd left for Cuba, arriving in Ha
vana harbor early in January, 1899,
and what a wonderful sight greeted
us as we p-+»’vd the v''mbor. Grim
old Mor~? „ ’ ibanas fort
ress guard "" ’ oe and the
beautiful ettv of Hi >n the green
shores of Onha In the distance, and as
our great * ’ * 1 toward the
dock, the nd, stationed
on the f’ of the vessel,
sends tbo soul-. iring strains of
the “Star Spangled Banner" rolling
across the bay to greet the populace
waiting on the shore to bid us en
thusiastic welcome.
On February 15, 1899, a battalion
of thq 3rd took part in the first mem
orial service at tnfe' Colon Cerrtetery
in honor of the victims of the battle
ship Maine disaster.
In our camp near Havana we tent
ed near the 7th Cavalry and what a
bugler they had. When the hour for
Taps approached, we would listen for
the calls from the different regi
ments, as they were sounded in rota
tion, and as we listened, watch the
flickering candles in the tents along
the Company street and perhaps,
somewhere near, hear “Speck” Sher
ry singing “Shadow of the Pines,”
and boy! how “Speck” could sing,
BINDER CANVAS
Are you coming to town tonight? If you are,
throw some of those Binder Canvasses in the car i
and we will have them ready for you when you want
them. We are prepared to repair any make of can- i
vas or make new ones, as we have in stock Canvas ;j
and Slats.
Now is the time to get your Binder Canvas fix- ;
‘ed—don’t wait until the grain is ready to cut.

fiwmuuum
too. Then the bugle calls would be
gin, first one and then another, all
along the line until, as a grand finale
the bugle from the Seventh rent the
blackness of the tropical night, ther
all was stilL. Then check roll call—
a quiet step outside and Charley
Hall’s voice came out of the dark
ness, inquiring “All in here?”. Char
ley’s voice has long sin^e been stilled.
The whole First Division knew and
loved Lieutenant Hall;,ffor no better
officer ever wore the, Army blue.
What a man he was.
On April 7th we broke camp and
started for the transport Manitoba,
lying in he harbor. And right here
I wan to relate an incident of that
hike along the dusty Cuban road into
the city. The clouds of dust from so
many marching feet obstructed the
view of everything except the closest
objects; suddenly up in front the
band struck up Sousa’s “Stars and
Stripes Forever” and, as if so order
ed, a gust of wind momentarily
swept aside the clouds of dust, dis
closing the Flag at the head of Com
pany M’s column, in victory and in
honor, on the way back to Holt Coun
ty.
Respectfully,
