Adolph Imfeld, a Newport boy of about 14 years of age, was playing in the cellar of the District School on York street, and grabbed a handful of hot ash and rushing up to Richard Osborne, exclaimed, "Now I am even with you," and buried the burning stuff full into Richard's face. Dr. Buckner thinks that the eyeballs have not been burnt and hopes to restore the child's sight.

A letter was received Friday by Mrs. Imfeld of Tenth and Columbia Streets, Newport, from her son, Adolph, now a Sergeant in the Philippines. The letter was written from a hospital on Corrigenda Island, 30 miles from Manila. Imfeld is now there being treated for a wound received during a skirmish with the natives. He says the hospital is a model institution and he had received excellent treatment.
Sergeant Imfeld was formerly a member of the Newport company, Second Kentucky Volunteers. At the close of the Spanish American War he re-enlisted in the Sixteenth Infantry, with which he went to the Philippines, where he has been eight months. He has been wounded twice, the former wound being received in the arm. Imfeld says the natives are treacherous and make attacks from the rear.
Imfeld has been twice promoted for bravery on the battlefield and lately awarded a medal. His officers also complimented him. A letter recently received from a friend of Imfeld's warned his parents to advise their son to be more careful of his safety. It stated that in several engagements he entirely forgot his surroundings and advanced beyond the lines under heavy fire to rescue comrades. Imfeld in well known in Newport, where he is very popular.
