traoted a fever, and it is supposed his
death is attributable to this sickness.

SOLDIERS AID SOCIETY.
Making Arrangements to Send Boxes to
Wyoming Volunteers.

At the last meeting of the Soldiers
Aid society it was decided to obtain a
roster of Wyoming troops at Manila
and see that each one of our soldiers
has a box of provisions as soon as it
can be sent.
AS far as it is possible to do so, word
will be sent to the various towns in the
state so that all soldiers relatives or
friends may have an opportunity to
contribute. 1t must be remembered,
however. that there are many who will
have no friends to think of them in this
work and the society appeals to all
patriotic citizens for assistance. Many
have given their sons, fathers, hus-
bands or brothers and they are willing
to look after their own, but to those
who have made no sacrifice must fall
the responsibility Of caring for the less
fortunate, but not less brave soldiers
of our country.
There will be boxes t. pack with such
articles OF food as the committee may
designate. Contributions of money
should be left with the treasurer, Mrs.
NJ. E. Ingersoll. Donations of food may
be left with any Of the mem
bers of the committee whose names
will be given later.
There will be no soliciting. The so
ciety wants it distinctly understood
