SURPRISED THE JAPS
corpus Christ! (Texas), Sept. 30. When an American Indian marine sergeant went on the warpath at Guadalcanar he provided a super-surprise tor the Japanese.
The sergeant, identified only as a Cherokee redskin from Oklahoma, was with a patrol creeping up on the enemy. They came upon a small knoll, and, looking down from the top, saw a Japanese field piece.
Instead of tossing a grenade the Indian tossed his lariat, roped the field piece, and quickly drew it away from the startled Japs.— (Houston, C.S., “Chronicle”).
