CONPANY £ SOLDIER | KILLED BY FRIEND (Continued From First Page). other soldiers in the company show that Private Welch ana Private Ma- tulis were the best of friends and that there was never any trouble be- tween them. The young soldier, ia whose hand the rifie was discharged which cut short his comrade’s life, is heart broken over the tragedy and a pall of glaom has tled over the entire command. Dead Soldier Only 19. Private Welch was firat enlisted in Company E on June 30, 1916, just be fore the troops left for the Mexican border last summer. At that time he was only eighteen years of age. Mo served with this eemmand through the guard mounts and maneuvers slang. the internationsl Nne &t No- wsles, Arvizona, this campeny. ‘When the troops were again mobilised a number of weeks ago Private Welch ‘was one of the first to report for vice. Although he was & high spirited youth, full of strength and vigar, he ‘was well liked by the officers and men and his tragic, untimely death, mourned by all. , Private Matulis s also nineteen years of age. He en- listed in Company E soon after that command returned from the Mexican border last-fall. His home is on West street. b The dead soldier was the son of Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Welch, of No. 3 Sexton street and besides hls parents he Martin Welch, and eix sisters, Mamie, Marguerite, Anna, Hel¥n and. Grace Welch and Mrs. Vin- cent Kalanowaki, all of this city.

The third death in the reginient occurred Saturday when a member of Company D of Bristol was killed by a train. | Private Welch's tragic death was the fourth, and lkewise the third violent one. Company ¥ Record Command. The record of Company E is one of the most peculiar in the First Regl- ment. A few weeks ago, when Lieu- tenant Griffin took charge, the com. mand was the lowest in the regiment in point of man-power. Following a recruiting canmipaign however, personnel of the .company Iin-. creased and for more than two weeks now Company B has held the record of not only being the first company in the regiment to obtain 100 men an its muster roll, but has also held the record of the largest number of en- listed men. On Saturday another new. recruit: was enlisted. He is John I. Bawselt and his name made 102 men on the muster roll. The death of Private Welch brings the total down to 101 men and two commissioned officers. / By order of Lieutenant Griffin Corporal Henry Gardner was today re- duged to the rank of private and’ First Class Privates Arthur, W. Bfornberg and George E. Berry were promoted to corparals, gl SRR BOY HIT BY TROLLEY CAR.
