Zncffitnent as c/7/ustered Sn A S a matter of record it is interesting to show how the regiment was made up when first mustered into the United Stated service at Heleha, May 9, 1898. The names of the men com posing the different CO. A, GREAT FA L L S, CAPT. JN O . F. M ORAN. In the old days, when larger bored guns and heav ier bullets were used, one shot could not be counted upon to lay low more than one man. Now tr. . . ... ..... ______ it -s different. The sm a ll bored rifles like the Mauser will send a m i s s i l e through t h r e e o r four men but not o f ten with such deadly effect. K a rl J. Pet erson of Company G of this city had a very unpleasant ex perience with a M a u ser bullet at Caloo- can on February 10. He describes this in cident as follows: “ 1 was in the act of closing the m a g a zine of m y gun and the firing had almost ceased when I was hit under the left arm. The ball went in under my left arm penetrated my lungs and cam e out one L inch from my spine. I was fired at by one of the sharpshoot ers in a tree. Tho same ball w e n t through Bill K e n nedy’s l e g a n d clipped off a portion of another man’s gun. I was laid up in the hospital after that and left Manila April 3. I reached San Francisco on the 28th and landed May 1. My left arm was paralyzed and I remained in San Francisco for treatment and now I have the use of my arm .” “ W h a t did it feel like when you were h it?” Mr. Peterson was asked. “ It did not hurt me,” was the reply. “ I do not know exactly what it felt like. It did not feel good. A t first I did not know what was the matter, but a moment afterw a rds I realized that I had been hit. The shock was not very great.” com panies are taken from the report of Adjutant Gen eral Charles F. English of Helena. General English com piled these names from the muster rolls in his pos session. There may appear to be some irregularity in spelling them, but in every instance they are given as signed by the soldiers to the rolls. The regiment when mustered in was made up. as follow s: Field and Statf. Name. Rank. H a rry C. Kessler ....C o lon e l Com manding Regim ent. The first man the Montana regiment lost was R o b ert Lennington of Anaconda, who died in San Francis co, July 6, 1898. He was originally a member of Com pany K, but a few days before being taken ill, had been transferred to the hospital corps. His death was caused by typhoid fever. CO. B, BUTT Robert B.
