FRANK TRISKA GOES
"OVER THE T0F
Harney County oy Writes of
Experience. Helps Take Nest
of Machine Guns With Loss of
But One Man. Frank is Hurt
Tbe following letter was recently
received by Mrs. Frank Triska from
Frank. She very kindly gave her
consent to our publishing It as he
describes his experience of going
"over the top '
Prance, October 1, 1918.
My dear wife:
i After several daya of strenuous
' work I am able to write you a few
I lines to let you know I am still alive
' and happy to mention that I went
over tbe top and think 1 did my sbare
' of scraping. I am now In a hospital
with a sharpnel wound in my left
side and arm, hut expert to be out
In a couple or weeks. I am proud of
the beys from the ninety first and
am glad I had tbe pleasure to be one
of them.
I October 3.
The one thing I was disappointed
In was that It was hard to get close
enough to a "Boche " to have a good
look ut him. They would run before
we were anywhere near them. Some
would stay with their mai hine guns
! until killed or captured hut they were
few. As far as using a bayonet, 1
I haven't had the chance and took
imlne off tho gun the first day over I
the top us ii was -In the way for ac
1 curate shooting and fast advance
work. Talk about excitement! I for
I got to eai or drink the first day. lm
aguie sucTi u filing to happen with
me. s
nuriijK tbe advance I picked up .i
lot of soveniri but could not carry
them for i had a lot of 'my own GiiiiK
to pack tint was'qulte a bundle with
rations for several days In addition,
in one place there wen- twenty one
Germans. As wo advanced they tried
to get away across a field. Those thut
did try are still there as the hoys did
:om twill hooting. The rest stayed
land pat up a white flag. I happened
to.be there first to tiyp ore young
,-ny trom KeiitnK away into the brush.
: You see there was a distance ol a
; iiuarier of a mile between them and
us with barbed wire entanglements
to crOSI to Ket to Ihvm. Two or three
I of in boys raced through the wire
I to We'd them. 1 wai lucky enough
i to be there first and march twenty
one oi them qui Into a clearing where
they were surrounded by our troops
and marched awa. You ought to
have seen them pray for nieriy as
they went by me. fJaeSS I was a
hard spectacle to look upon. craz
mad and ready to shoot at them first
move. Many of the dugouts we cap
tured were well equipped and I guess
the Huns intended to stay a while
and didn't expert to be chased out of
that territory.
October 7.
I wanted to write you a line last
night but was about all In. Then th;
bed felt so good I was asleep before
I know It. Being used to trenches
and shell holes and then dropping in
to a nice warm bed would make any
body sleepy.
In one place, the first day over the
top, we were advancing across a
broken field covered with barbed
wire and trenches taking one ma
chine gun after another until we ar
rived at what looked to bo a strong
point. The boys watched every move
tbe enetry might make. Some one in
tbe bunch yelled "There goes a
Boche". He was a good long ways
off when the boys opened up on him
and stopped him from getting away.
Several of tbe Boches tried the same
stunt with the same results. We could
see some dugouts in a ravine and
were doing some planning as how to
approach them when a white flug
appeared on the scene and a big
German stepped out ot the dugout
and twenty more followed In single
file. One of them a young fellow
about twenty tried to sneak away
though the underbrush I raised my
gun to stop blm and he sure did beg
for mercy. He just lost his nerve
seeing all the guns pointed at him
was more than he could stand. The
bunch was surrounded and searched,
then marched to the rear with a lot
of others.
Farther up the slope we found a
young hoy of seventeen, wounded,
calling Kamerad. The Red Crosss
men look after all the wounded.
Some have Immediate aid, others
:ire not so fortunate and have to
wait for a good many hours.
DurliiK that day we mad" air al
nine 01 several miles. That nl(;lit
I had to rand guard, not a very
pleasant job after a hard day 1 work
aud ins steep, our battalion was
I ut of the regiment to go
over the top first. I had several
notches on the butt of my rifle, but
after getting wounded I had to give
1 up as 1 could ljot lake it to the
hospital. I have been acting corporal
'or sons ilme and was' In line for
promotion with my company but now
will have to start all over again aa I
aspect to be transferred on leaving
:he hospital.
During my stay in the Ursa Co. II
I met ,'ellows from all parts of the
tatea end bad to tell lots ol my ex
periences (ut w-'st to them as most
of them have never BOOS across the
Missouri liivcr. Among tho bunch
gtas ;i Digger named Qeorge Wash
ington Yates. He was all stirred UP
about the west and I heard him re
peat to the boys many times "Ah is
-mill goiu west '. 1 often think I am
too, uiiil mighty last when I get
started thai way.
All Hie stuff 1 had like toilet artlcl
os, towels, shaving outfit and other
things have been left on the field
Now I must get all those things new.
I lost my tooth brush in I lie IrarUS
and could not get hold of another
one. Consequences are my teeth are
not as white as (hey used to be and
when 1 am allowed out, the first
tiling I'll do will he to visit a dentist
anil have my teeth cleaned.
October 9.
Up on the line where I did my
share we had the Prussian Guards
against us. They are the best troops
t.i-iiiiiiiiv hits, its needless to sny
lliev had no chance wit 1 1 ns. Those
that didn't run awuy are either killed
or captured. Some of the Bodies are
treacherous and win Kilt a man '.rom

I'll never forget one Incident Imp

how we got away with only one man
wounded as they were firing ut us
across a liat not over one hundred
yards.
Three of us swung away from the
main body and started to flank
them. One of my men. Staton. had
a hand grenade ready to throw I
was a little ahead of them directing
him how anil where to throw. He

MIXTURE OF POLITICS
Republicans Cary State, Lower
House of Congress; Democrats
Control Senate. Two Contests
in County With Close Finishes
The result of the general election
held last Tuesday resulted in a vic
tory for the republican candidates in
this state. It also appears that the
democrats have lost tbe National
congress but have a majority in the
U. 8. Senate.
In this county the only contests
were between Sheriff Goodman and
A. K. Richardson for that off'.oa
which resulted in Cocdman being
re-elected; and between A. I. John
sou and Jap McKlnnon for county
commissioner, the latter being suc
cessful. In some of tbe precincts
there was no election held. The vote
