L, Thirty-thirrt Michigan Volunteers- the Sons of Veterans company- and was wounded in the fight before Santiago Friday by the bursting of a shell which tqre off his right arm and injured his hip. His regiment was just alighting from a train to deploy before the Spanish army at Aguadores, when a shell burst in the company, killing two and wounding three. He is the son of Mrs. Mary G. Stark and his father the late Jacob Stark was a veteran of the civil war and at the time of his death janitor of the court house. Don before he entered the army, was employed as a barber by J. A.
