headed in the same direction.
you. he oemanueu, a tit. ,
by the sharp, incisive tones I reootj-j
nized Colonel Stotsenburp
'Towl of Company II,' I replied
'Well, never mind your company,
but come with me," he returned, nei
ther slackening his pace for a moment.
So. side by side we rundown the rouph
declivitous slope of thehilUide toward
the deployed line of our regiment,
where the Dooming of pringn'elds
and the flaming tongues of beautifully
even volleys replied to the spiteful
erackle of the insurgent rille tire sput
tering from the sweeping arc of trees
close to the opposite bank of the nar
row San Juan river.
The outbreak of the Philippine in
surrection had caught me undressed
and ready to turn in for the night.
Consequently, after throwing on my
clothes and snatching rifle and cart-
ridge belt. I was one of the last of the j
stragglers to leave the camp ana nas
ten toward the position which I knew
to be designated for my company, and
that's how I happened to fall in with
the colonel.
As we ran toward our line we passed
through zones of enfilading lire where
the bullets swarmed about our heads
and feet like hordes of angry hornets.
But although 'we stumbled and fell at
times we were getting along well
enough until both of us toppled over a
low embankment into a mucky cari
bao wallow. I scrambled out easily
enough, but turned at a groan from
the colonel to find that in the fall he
had so severely wrenched his right leg
and ankle that he could not stand
alone. For the moment I was sure
that he was wounded, for the bullets
were spattering into the water and
throwing the mud into our faces.
I got to his sideasquickly as I could,
and with his arm alut ray shoulder
carried him out of the hole without
further mishap. But from that time
on, all night long, and half the follow
ing day, I acted an anomalous part I
was not an orderly, for whoever heard j
of an orderly going about with his .
commanding oHicer's arm about his '
neck? Although away from my com- j
pany, I was not on detached service, ,
for I was very closely attached to the ;
colonel In short I was no Ionizer Pri-
vate Towl of Company II, but the ;
right leg of John M. Stotsenburg,
colonel of the First Nebraska. l S. ;

be everywhere at once, carrying reck

wherever he a ppeared. the frail bodied (
little colonel hurried, dragging his
right leg-with hiin. And sometimes
over holes and ditches the right leg j
would pick up the whole liody and j
spring lightly across as though it iiad ;
carried only a feather. And again, at ;
times when breath failed the colonel, '
the right leg. unconscious of its sole
duties as a pedest rial a ppendage, would '.
raise a raucous cry and hoarsely voice "
tbe whispered commands of the colo

the moment forgetting everything and
hurling maledictions at the heads of

rits anfj I'anuon UH.medthe knell for
the souls of men, many of them our
; coin rdes and best friends. But still
i the colonel was as ubiquitous andinde-
fatitrable as in the night. He paid no
j attention to the bullets which purred
and hissed about his head. Although
I at times he dodged when he could see
a volley tired point blank in our direc
tion, he did it as unconsciously and
L,ract.fUiv Jls ije would lift his hat to a
ladv ylen were sbot down aU about
him. but he was so intent on watching
the big game, that he did not see nor
notice. We stood for a moment at the
breech of one of the guns of the Utah
battery. The colonel had just sighted
the gun with his own hands at an alcove
in the big church of San Juan del
Monte, across the river, when a ragged
brass Remington tall tore the whole
top off the head of the man who was
just in the act of shoving the cart
ridge into the breech, spattering blood
and fragments of brain all over the
colonel's clothes. But I am sure he
was unconscious of the fact. He
turned and calmly gave his commands
to the gunner who sprang forward to
catch the shell as the dead man was
dragged to one side. When General
Hale, who rode up at the moment,
urpe(J tbe colonel to get under cover,
he appeared not to have heard. Yet
w ithal he was never rash in his cour
age, and never exposed himself unnec
essarily. His skill, coolness, bravery
and thoughtfulness for his men in ac
tion endeared him to the whole regi
ment, and won him the most unbound
ed admiration wherever his name was
known.
Before noon of that memorable Sun
day the colonel was able to hobble about
with a stick, and I was put tocarrying
orders back and forth along the line,
where, perhaps, 1 did as much gcod as
though I had kept my rifle red hot all

appreciate the amount of pleasure and
enjoyment the young people of 42
years ago, the old young people of to
day, derived from the opportunities of
that time.
Clark's was a big saw mill with
rough floors of cottonwood, but the
early settlers used to gather there by
the hundreds and have high old times.
The only place in Plattsmouth,
Nebraska Territory, which offered
such an opportunity for a similar
amusement was the big square house
of Lloyd Lucas, the first residence to
te built on Wintcrsteen hill. When
this house burned to the ground a
number of years ago Mrs. VVintersteen
built the double house which still
stands just east of her residence and
which is almost an exact counterpart
of the old Lucas house.
Among the well known residents
about here who used to attend the
dances on Wintersteen hill and at
Clark's mill, were Joe Johnson, Andy
Taylor, Henry and William Eikenbary,
Sam and James Thomas, Ed and Ami
Todd, Mrs Alf White, Mrs. W.J.
Streight, Mr. and Mrs. Elam Parmele,
all of w hom w ill recall with more or
less vividness the incidents of that
time, when they read this article.
