sEEKs LOST IRON GROSS

Henry Brauer, who lives on North
jefferson street, is looking for an
Iron Cross, which was presented to
him in 1866 by William l., King of
Prussia, and afterward Emperor of
Germany, for service in the Austro-
Prussian War. Every member of
Mr.. Brauer's company was given an
Iron Cross not for any individual ac-
ton but for general merit through
out the campaign. Mr.. Brauer thinks
his medal is in an old trunk at his
sisters home in Milwaukee. His grand
daughter, little Miss Gladys Huene-
field, is very anxious to find the in
sigma of honor worn by her grand
father. Mr.. Brauer was born in
Mecklenburg-Schweri and came to
America in 1863. He is very much in
terested in the success Of the German
arms in the present war.
