Bullet That Killed Hamilton Fish Lodged in Culyer’s Body. Private Culver s a Cherokee Half- Breed, was the New Yorker’s Comrade at who La Quasina and Received the Bullet Th Passed to Him From Fish and Will Pro bly Keep it all His Life. The Mauser bullet that slew Ser- y eee Hamilton Fieh, the first Amer- | can officer to die on Cuban soil, pass- = clear through his body. Fish at} | the time was lying at full length on| |the narrow trail. Beside the aristo- cratic New Yorker lay his chum and | comrade, Private Edward Culver, a Cherokee half breed from Indian | Territory. Culver’s body received | the bullet that passed to him from | Fish. Culveris now a patient at} the United States Marine hospital | and the Mauser projectile is lodged, perhaps for all time, in the soldier's back near the spine. It isa gruesome memento to carry around in one’s body but Culver re gards it as atropby of war that will} be ever dear to him. He considers it a dying legacy from his sergeant and says he will take it with him to his grave Of the great fight in the pass of La Quosina no man is better able to write than Private Edward Culver, who now brings back to America, lodged in his body, the first Spanish bullet that killed an American officer, and who uow tells the story: Under the kindly and careful treat ment 1 have had here atthe United States Marine hospital, Iam recov ering from the effects of the wounds I received at the battle of the rough riders, and after a brief furlough I shall be ready to go back to the front. Thereis much for me to do in Cuba. The Spaniards killed my best friend, Sergeant Hamilton Fish, as he lay by myside and the score is not settled yat. I have Cherokee blood in me and I carry in my back the same bullet that passed through his bedy, andI will take it back to the front with me and stay there uatil the whde debt is paid and I get revenge. I know what I haye lost and who ia responsible for it and I am goiog back. Does anybody believe that I have forgotten a moment of that time- Every day asI sit on the edge of my my wounds, t all comes back and I “You're allright, old man; but I am done for.

HAMILTON'S AIM WAS ACCURATE AND DEADLY. Tean.) Merchant Dropped two Men in Their Tracks. They Had Assaulted From Friends of the Dead. Ky, Aug. 10.—A shecking tragedy, in which two men lost their lives, occurred in the gen- eral merchandise store of Marsillas Hamilton, the wealthiest and most highly respected resident of the lit- tle village. Early this morniog Con Littrell, a rich young society man from Lee County Virgiuia, entered Hamilton's store, it is said, in an intoxicated condition. He accosted Hamilton's son about the settlement of a debt that he Hamilton The controversy between them at tracted the attention of several by- standers and trouble was averted, for the time, but Littrell departed swearing vengeance, boasting that he would make Hamilton pay “nature's debt” before another sun rose.
