RQVAL BAKING POWDER CO., NEW YORK,
Deiuti nt Bert J. dark.
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<l alsmt 1500 yards long, over tide
lands where the mud was alsmt two feet
deep; when the tide was in, the water
was about four feet deep. We went down
about 600 yards towards the city and
with our bayonets threw up intrench-
ments across the road. We only got
them about a foot and one-half high, but
lay behind them and put out a picket 100
yards ahead. In the morning at 6:45
they opened fire on our pickets and they
retreated to the breastworks. We re
turned their fire, helped on either aide
by companies E and F. Onr company
in four hours fired near 10,000 shots. We
could not determine what the enemy’s
loss was. Co. E of Idaho was the onlv
one hit on our aide.*’
