Kendall, Montana, December 2, 1902. 5. SEARCHING FOR PUNS &Ai Run Away to War and Was Badly Wounded F. G. Howe, an Eighteen -Year - Old Boy, Travels Far and in the Search. F. G. Howe, a boy 18 years of age. who has lost the use of his voice and his hearing and who is still suffering from open wounds which be received in the Philippines and China, was in Helena a Iew days ago hunting for his mother and stepfather, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Stephenson, for whom he has been searching since last Jan- uary. Young Howe was mascot for the Ninth United States infantry and the Twentieth Kansas volunteers, Gen- eral Fred Funston's regiment, and he carries the scars of five wounds as evidence of his services in the east. He was shot twice in the head, onoe in the breast and twice in the right leg. The last time he was shot was while he was marching with the Ninth on Pekin. The bullet struck him in the head and since then he has lost the use of his voice and his hearing. The lad is without tunds and works his way from place to place selling newspapers. He says that he some- times has hard work getting along but that he thinks that he will get through all right. He is a manly. young fellow and does not complain. He'hopes to be able to learn of the whereabouts of his parents through the newspapers. After he returned he could not learn anything about weir whereabouts from friends in his old home in Kentucky, for his family left Kentucky shortly after young Howe ran away and nothing has been heard of them since. In speaking about himself last night the boy said: \I was born in 1884 in Marysville, Kentucky, and when the war broke out I ran away from home and went to Kansas, wnere I joined Company K. Twentieth Kansas Vol- unteers, and went with them as a mascot. In August, 1898, we went tci San Francisco and shortly afterwards we sailed for Manila by way of Hon- olulu. We got to Hong Kong and coaled there and then went on to Ma- nila, which place we reached on Nov - 8th. We were in Manila for awhile, doing police duty and were then sent to Calocan, at which place tnere were over 2,000 Insurgents. \On Nov. 28th the fellows in the trenches opened fire on the Filipinos and a long battle took place. The Montana, Kansas and Nebraska vol- unteers and the Third Utah artillery took part in the fight, and it was a fierce one. We ate our dinners in a trench and in the middle of the fight our fellows ran out of ammunition. they sent me to get some cartridges from the quartermaster's tent and af- ter I had distributed some of it, a manger bullet bit me near the knee, but the wound was only a slight one and it soon healed. After that I was put to carying wale ran in thrying to get through the lines one day an in- surgent shot me above the ear. \In February we marched on to Manila and in a tight there I was wounded in the right leg. Shortly after that we got into a hard fight near the town of San Fernando del Monte, but we took the town and burned it. After that we did scout duty alont the Calocan and Bag Bag rivers. \We started toward San Fernando on May 3, 1899, but we did not get there in time to go Into the battle. When we were coming back we got into an ambush and I was shot in the breast. I was sent to the hospital and stayed there a long time and when I did get out I learned that my company had been ordered back to the states. Then I went to Company C, Ninth United States infantry, and was with them at the time of the Beige of Pekin. I suffereu most in the China war, for it was in China at the time the Ninth was almost wip- ed out that I was shot in the head and also suffered a fractured skull from the effects of which I have lost hearing and speech. When I got back from Manila I could not find any trace ot my folks and I have been hunting for them ever since.\ Largest stock of Stationery, Perfum- ery.
