A Dakotan of ninrvelous nerve ls
lrlvato Smith of Company 13 Klrst
South Dakota volunteers Smith was
marked for u victim of assassination
by the Klllplnos while patrollliiK U
most daiiKeroiiN heat on the line
Shortly after Hunset two natives came
toward him In hIiikIo Me When chal
lenged they answered promptly with
the usual friendly words Iluenos
noches iiiiiIko uiciiiiIiik flood even
ing friend As the Filipinos passed
on Smith resumed his walk hut when
turning away ho glanced sidelong at
the Htraiitfors a circumstance which
Bitvcd his life The second Klllplno In
the tllo hail drawn his maclieto and
was actuallV sprliiKluK forward to cut
down the miilahle sentry
Smith dodged the blow so as to wivo
Ills skull but the keen lilnde gashed
his cheek from temple to chin Whirl
ing upon his enemies the nervy fellow
Hhot ono through the heart before he
bad gone three lengths The reaction
from this effort weak as he was from
pain and the loss of blood caused
Smith to drop to his knees Hut ho
was not a dead American yet Kelond
Inj his rllle he took careful aim ami
brought down the other lleelng natlvo
just on the edge of a bamboo thicket
When Smith lay In the hospital Gun
oral Otis called personally to pralso
lilm for his bravery
The hot tight at Mnriqulna found Its
hero In the person of an
with soldier blood In his vohrs This
was Lieutenant John C Gregg scion
of the Pennsylvania family which has
u lighting record Young Gregg went
into bnttle with his chief General
Hale Ills hor io was shot under hlin
uml as he bent down to unloosen tho
saddle a soldier warned li tin to be on
Ids guard for the shot which had hit
his horse camo from a sharpshooter In
i tree near by Instead of taking to
cover as most of the men were do
ing the lieutenant stepped forward
iect with glasses In hand Coolly un-
casing the glasses he surveyed the
dangerous tree A puff of smoke a
High a quick grip of the hnud to the
chest and an American hero fell dead
on the blood bought soil of the Phil
ippines
It Is natural to discriminate In fa
vor of the valor which Is displayed for
tho rescue of a comrade A deed of
this kind which would have won the
Victoria cross In tho Hrltlsh army was
performed by Corporal Heno Fourth
cavalry In one of tho early skirmishes
with tho Insurgents In nn ambush
light one of the troopers named Da
vlckl was wounded and left behind
The party rushed for shelter and then
It was discovered that Da vlckl could
not move Heno dashed back under
lire dismounted and placed his wound
ed mate In tho saddle Holding on by
tho stirrup he galloped the pony a
distance of 00 yards across tho deep
stream to the shelter where his com
panions stood breathless at this ex
hibition of heroism Heno was a raw
recruit hut there Is something In a
iinnie for General Jesse Heno was ouo
of tho most gallant lighters of 1S01 2
Tho navy In tho Philippines 1ms had
little chanco to win glory slnco tho
Spanish Ueet was destroyed but tho
plight of the Spanish garrison at Ha
ler by the Yorktown developed a hero
In Ensign Staudley When tho ship
reached tho port It was found that the
Imprisoned garrison was far back from
tho shore and out of sight Ensign
Standley and Quartermaster Lysaght
volunteered to land and reconnoltor
townrd tho town Clambering up a
steep mountain side the scouts came
to n treo tall enough to give a view of
Haler and its surrouudlngs Standley
directed Lysaght to stay on tho grouud
nnd at tho tlrst sign of danger to run
for tho shore Ho himself climbed tho
tree relying upon its thick brunches
for n screeu Lysaght said he would
never have deserted his otllcer but ho
was not brought to a tost Standley
stayed In the tree until ho had sketch
ed tho whole position the fortress nnd
roads and this led to the release of 22
bravo Spanish boys who had helu their
little fort against the lusurgeuts for
more than a year
A brace of stories of heroism would
be Incomplete without a Aug capture
oplsode Tho army paper America
published at Manila says that one of
the pluckiest deeds In the campaign
was that performed by Sergeant Clem
ent C Jones of the Third battalion
Tennessee volunteers This Is the
ts a told on tho spot Tho sight of ft
rillplno dandard within 800 yards of
tho Tennessee outpost near Jnro grat
ed on tho sergeants sense of pioprlety
and ho determined to capture tho
Haunting emblem So ho slipped be
tweon tho outposts and ciossed the
river Into the enemys country
Incredible as It appears the ser
geant traversed unharmed a large
tract of open rlcellehls within full view
of the armed natives When he ar
rived within grasping distance of the
tlag ho Hindu a reach for It simply
Htupefylng for the time the Klllplnos
who were panic stricken over his sud
den appearance lie uprooted tho Hag
HtnlT and shouldering It started back
to his post the target all the way of
Manser bullets which the natives sent
after him as parting salutes Knscath
oil ho waded the river and only tho
worse for exposure to tho burning sun
arrived with his trophy which now
adorns tho Klrst Tennessee barracks
Tho Dakotan before mentioned who
won his commission under tiro Is John
U Holnian of Company C Klrst South
Dakota Tho gallant deed was one of
the Incidents of tho advance on Mn
rllao March M The Dnkotans found
tho natives Intrenched along the river
beyond the railroad Tho river was
too formidable to wade and tho enemy
poured a steady tiro upon the Ameri
can line The colonel thought It tin
safe to cross tho bridge with troops
especially as the Filipinos had set It
on lire at the farther end While tho
olllcers were discussing whether to try
to save tho structure or lot It burn
Holnian cried Ill go over and put
out the fire at the samo time dash
ing across he long bridge
Comrades looked on and oven Homo
of the olllcers cried Coino hack but
he got across safely and put out tho
Haines before they had mailo great
headway Then Instead of retreating
ho coolly turned on the Klllplnos who
were but a few yards away and open
ed Ilie with his repeating rllle In
spired by Dolmans example the regi
ment made a San lumi rush for It
crossed the bridge and put the Insur
gents to rout
General Lawton who Is himself a
prince among scouts took In hand the
matter of scouting as soon as ho got
the bearings of the lines nround Mn
iilln One day ho saw a citizen coolly
exposing himself out on the tiring
lino ami on liiiptlry found that the
reckless fellow was an old plainsman
by the name of Young When Young
explained his presence In the Philip
pines by saying Just thought Id
coino ahd help tho boys out a little
Lawton knew his man and made him
chief of scouts Tho members of the
band were selected from tho North
Dakota regiment This Is LnwtOns
own story of the first noted exploit
of Young nnd his lieutenant Harring
ton
During the campaign said the
general theso men did gallant
r c
OPENED KIRK ON T1IK ENEMY
Ice They would leave camp with only
rltles canteens and ammunition and
bo gone sometimes four days On the
way t San Ysldro the enemy had
crossed the river on our approach and
tired the bridge Then Youngs scouts
showed their metal Tho bravo fel
lows waded In the river on each sldo
of the bridge and using their cam
paign hats to dip nil water put out tho
tire while Young and Harrington
armed with big revolvers ouly stood
on tho bridge In plain sight covering
their men Whenever a KUIpluo rais
ed his head above the trenches a ro
volver bullet ended his career
Finally Young fell shot through tho
knee Harrington ran to tho wounded
leader and with a pistol In each hnud
stood over the fallen man shooting tho
Klllplnos who tried to pick him off
Ho held his position until the soldiers
enrried Young away to tho hospital
Then our men crossed the river nnd
drove out tho natives
A few days later Harrington took
his men to the front nnd after a hard
march stopped for supper nt 5 oclock
He sat down leaning against a bank
of earth to await tho mess call He
did uot respond when the call came
and his men found him leaning back
his head resting on his breast with
his rltlo hugged to his side a corpse
Next morning I scut this personal
messngo to Young nt the Manila hos
pital Harrington died nt 5 oclock
Inst night
Four hours later I received from
the chief surgeon of tho hospltnl the
return dlspntch Young died nt 5
oclock last night
The fearless scouts had closed their
last campaign at the samo hour
