In letter received recently by Mr..
and Mrs. ]. H. Allen of 23S Holman
street, Holmans addition from their
son, Arnie, who is in the army in the
P. L., the young man writes that he has
just received a Christmas box which
lIley started 10 MIN a year ago ldSt
November. After several months had
elapsed without the young man receiv-
ing his long looked for box from home
Captain Clad Hamilton was asked to
assist in the search and through his
kindness the lost Christmas box was
traced over the island to different
places. All trace was then lost and
nothing more could be learned of it.
Some time later the matter was placed
in the hands of Congressman Charles
Curtis who called the attention of the
War department to the missing box
and through them it soon reached the
anxious owner. The young soldier wrote
that the ants had eaten the fruit cakes
and candies and had commenced to de-
vour the candy boxes, but that many
useful articles the box contained were
in perfect state of preservation.
