After being . away about one half hour the two two men returned to make a report They told the men there were about twenty of the in- surgents, but thought they ould take the place. (All of the men were will- ing to try no matter what might come. After resting about two minutes (all this time the enemy was keeping up a constant fire). Private Stover started off on hands and knees, the men following under cover of the under brush. After they had execut- ed a flank movement in this manner, they found they were only about fifty yards from the enemy and not yet discovered. Tbe party immediately opened fire on the enemy. This took them so completely by surprise that they act- ed like a lot of yellow dogs. After the party had fired about two min- utes they withdrew leaving- eight killed and five wounded. They took with them three, captured insurgents and sixteen rifles and some ammuni- tion. Four insurgents esc&pad. The party also brought back the bodies of the lieutenant and sergeant. There was a great surprise in camp when the party arrived. Prl- ate Stover was congratulated on his uccess and the company comman- der wanted to make a sergeant out of him and also recommend him for medal of honor. He refused hoth saying, I am not looking for stripes and medatls and I want to be nothing better than-a common buck private and that settles it. Too much praise cannot be given Private Stover for his bravery and presence of mind. This is not his first experience. He seems to enjoy getting into such places just to see how easy it is tc get out, I hope his friends will not think he is reckless, because he is very careful of himself and 'men with him. I hope his actions Will meet ith approval. I would not dare tign my name to this for fear I would ose my head. Yours respectfully. \ X. Y. J. /ILL COMPLETE RAILROAD TUN- . MEL.
