February 26, 1902.. j I have just returned from a fleer hunt out in the mountains day before yester day. Than was a party of fourteen left here oathe morning (of the 92nd, for the mountains back of Odonnell. We camped the first night in the hills and at day light we divided into two parties, one taking down the valley to drive the deer and the others on the hills to the right. We drove nntll about 10 o'clock, and then set fire to the long grass to be able to see the deer as they came out. There were two oivllians, saloon keep ers here In Tarlao, two Spaniarda and eight Philippines besides a hospital corps man and myself with rifles. The Whole pueblo of Odonnell had turned out with bows and arrows, or spears, so altogether we were quite a party and had, when we set fire to the grass about fifteen deer corralled. We had gotten four already and were sure of more, so we went down to a creek abou a mile away where we had agreed ,upon before to eat dinner. We came down in twos and threes at about fifteen minutes apart. The first ones to get down were Henrigul Caatilbe, a Spaniard and Quail a civilian, and when they arrived at the creek they found the other civilian Bit ting on a rock with his face in his hands and bloody all over; they thought at first that he had killed a deer and smeared the 1 blood on himself; they asked him but he only motioned with his hands for them to come and fell over. . mv;"!'': ' They got to him as quickly as possible and found that he had been shot through the forearm and the chest, and the bullet lodged in his back. The party gradually assembled and we finally staunched the flow of blood with our undershirts and constructed a Utter of bamboo and car ried aim into Odonnell, a distance of about six miles. There the hospital man got on his horse and rode to Capas, distance of nineteen miles, the nearest station of troops, for a doctor. The doc tor arrived about nine o'clock that night and re-bandaged the wound, he found nn :V - - - - v The very that he had been shot through the right lung. We had the natives to construct another litter that night and at daylight started with him for Capos arriving there at ten o'clok, when he became uncon scious and died about .one in the after noon. He never told how It occured but from the position of the wound he must have been leaning his forearm on the muzzle of his rifle with the butt resting ou a stone from which It slipped strik ing the hammer and discharging the pelce, a 44 Cel., Winchester. It wvs certainly a sad hurting trip for us. Be was brought up to Tarlao yester day and buried in the Catholic ceme- tary by the priest. I was one of the pall bearers.
