COMRADE CHARLES POTSWALD renews his subscription and writes,
"Please send the paper as I'm very glad to have it. It is so interesting. I always watch the names to see if I know some one. I want to thank you very much for the information you have given me about my first Sargeant, Oscar Kausche, of I Troop, 8^th U.S. Cav. Ft. Meade. I went to Chicago at Easter Time and met Oscar Kausche and another old Indian fighter from the 8^th Cavalry. His name is Fritz Schutze. He was the baker of the Regiment and he served 5 years in the 7^th Cavalry before. We had a good old soldier fashion time. We had plenty of good things to eat and we drank nothing else but Hennessee Brandy. It was some celebration of meeting again after forty-five years."           Winners of the West    Vol. XIV     No. 8          JULY, 1937

SERVED UNDER GENERAL PERSHING
COMRADE MORITZ EMIL GOETZE renews his subscription and writes,
"In renewing my subscription I wish to say I appreciate very much reading your paper and also the good work you are doing for the old Vets. Reading the paper brings to my mind the old days when I served in the 6th U. S. Cavalry in New Mexico. Gen. Pershing was our 2nd Lieutenant. He was in command of the Troop while the Captain was on sick leave in Europe and the 1st Lieutenant was at school. Since my discharge in 1891 I came to Springfield, Massachusetts, and spent 10 years railroading. I owned a farm for 28 years but had to give it up on account of my eyes. I traded the farm for city property and there is where I am. The pension I receive helps me to hold on."           Winners of the West    Vol XV     No. 6         JUNE, 1938

CAPTURE OF SOME SIOUX INDIAN SCOUTS
COMRADE LOUIS DOG renews his subscription and writes,
"When I was 21 and a half years old I became a scout under Gen. Nelson A. Miles, and was under Capt. Lewis at Ft. Keogh, near the present Miles City, Montana.

"I was present when three Sioux surrendered at the head waters of Tongue River. They had been scouting for the Sioux Indians. We surrounded them at night and they finally gave up the next day. One Sioux Scout was with us and was used by our Captain, to urge the three to give up. So they came and gave up their arms. This capture lead to the surrender of five Sioux, sometime later, who had been on the war path in southern Montana, and had previously attacked the Crow Indians, who were friendly to the whites."                           Winners of the West    Vol. XV     No. 4       APRIL, 1938

IN APPRECIATION
COMRADE WM. H. SMITH, Late Co. D, 3rd U. S. Infty., sends in his subscription and writes,
"I wish to apologize for the length of time I have taken in letting you know that I greatly appreciate your efforts in getting an increase of $5.00 to our pension. It surely helps a lot. I might say the last few years have not been very good to me. My wife has been under the doctors care for a long time and she recently passed away. This encurred lots of expense and not having much income to meet it the $5.00 per month seems a lot. I wish to thank you and Mrs. Webb for the interest you have taken in behalf of the Indian War Veterans and hope you may receive many happy returns."
