ARTHUR HOLLENBACH DEAD.
that He
lb-ported to War Department
Died of ToberculoaL.
Arthur Hollenbach, son of B. 8. Hol
lenbach of this city, died at Manila
last Friday of tuberculous, if the re
port sent br Gen. Otis to the war
department and published In yester
day morning's papers is true, and, un
fortunately, there is no reason to
doubt its accuracy. Mr. Hollenbach
waa a member of Company E, Twenty
second U. S. Infantry. U enlisted at
Cleveland a year ago last September,
and had been in the Philippine about
a year. Two weeks ago in a letter to
his parent, he said that he had been
in the hospital, but the announcement
of hi death waa the first intimation
they had received that he had been
seriouily ill. It came a a heavy blow,
indeed.
Arthur Hollenbach was about 29
years of age. He graduated from the
Wellington High school in 1889, and
. waa the first soldier from thi place to
lay down his life for his country in the
present war.

A Timely
...Gift
ONE that keeps time,
pleases the eye and fits
your pocket book. A

corated in gilt scrolls, and has
a face that reflects the beauty
