The distressing news came suddenly to this city on the evening of Ma ch 30th, that Bert J. Clark, youngest son of Mrs. Mary Clark, had met his death in battle near Manila. Bert was one of the fourteen recruits who left this county on last June 27th, to make up the full com­ plement required i>y the governor of the state. His application was in with the first lot of soldiers to be examined, but he was rejected on the score of over­ weight. He at once went at rugged work for the purpose of reducing his avoirdupoiB to an acceptable limit, and again applied, and promptly passed muster. He was of that disposition that if he believed there was opportunity to w hip the enemy he would pursue it, regardless of any danger to himself. He was a native Oregonian, born in Benton county 25 yeare ago. He held member­ ship in the order of Maccabees, with a $1,000 beneficiary. This order will hold memorial services in his honor in the near future. News of his death came as a great blow to his mother, who is now left with but oueson. The death of almost every soldier is a double sacri­ fice—a terrible pull at the heartstrings of parents, and a loss of the best blood of the nation. But there is more to re­ vere in the memory of Bert Clark, than there is in many a man who lives to thrice his age. From One »r the Wounded Boys. Charley Benedict writes his parents how the Idaho boys fought the Filipi­ nos in the engagement Feb. Sth. Since writing, be has been wounded, and his parents are anxiously waiting with others to learn how badly he is hurt. Charley says: “Sunday morning, Feb. 5th, we were ordered out, after a hearty breakfast, and soon we were in line of battle near the outpost, and as soon as we came to the skirmish formation we commenced a charge across a field about three quar­ ters of a mile, over which the enemy poured a continuous fire with Remington and Mauser rilles. We would rush for­ ward firing, until we began to get winded then drop and load and breathe a min­ ute, and away again. When about half way across, Gen. King ordered a third halt, but we never stop|>ed until over the enemy’s breastworks and dropping them on all sides. Our second batallion suffered more than the first; lost a major and several privates. We destroyed lots of property by fire, etc., and now wait orders to march upon the capital at Ma- lolos, about ten miles above here.’’ In another letter written Feb. 13th he says he had * just come in last night from Caloocan where a very decisive battle was fought Friday. About 400 natives killed, seven Americans killed and about 40 wounded. We were held as reserves for the 23d regulars, and the Kansans. Our company cook, McClure, was left with the kitchen outfit about HO rods be­ hind the American lineH. He got anxious to fight, and followed the Kansans till be caught up with them. When the bullets were flying thickest he got hit in the neck, and died before anyone saw him. He leaves a wife and little child near Boise. 1 have not been hit yet, but of course no one can tell When it w ill come. After the fight at Caloocan the Idahos were left to guard the road to Malahon, near Caloocan. The road was very nar­ row an
