Private Stover ordered the men tolie down and keep quiet while he andone man went to ascertain th<strength of the enemy.

After being . away about one halfhour the two two men returned tomake a report They told the menthere were about twenty of the in-surgents, but thought they ould takethe place. (All of the men were will-ing to try no matter what mightcome.

After resting about two minutes(all this time the enemy was keepingup a constant fire). Private Stoverstarted off on hands and knees, themen following under cover of theunder brush. After they had execut-ed a flank movement in this manner,they found they were only aboutfifty yards from the enemy and notyet discovered.

Tbe party immediately opened fireon the enemy. This took them socompletely by surprise that they act-ed like a lot of yellow dogs. Afterthe party had fired about two min-utes they withdrew leaving- eightkilled and five wounded. They tookwith them three, captured insurgentsand sixteen rifles and some ammuni-tion. Four insurgents esc&pad. Theparty also brought back the bodiesof the lieutenant and sergeant.

There was a great surprise incamp when the party arrived. Prl-

ate Stover was congratulated on hisuccess and the company comman-

der wanted to make a sergeant outof him and also recommend him for

This is not his first experience.He seems to enjoy getting into suchplaces just to see how easy it is tcget out, I hope his friends will notthink he is reckless, because he isvery careful of himself and 'men withhim. I hope his actions Will meet
