 BADLY INJURED
YOUNG MAN WELL KNOWN HERE FALLS WHEN SCOUT
 ING FOR THE ALLIES

A. N. Reed, who lived in Seward last summer and was we'll known is now in a Boston hospital suffering from a broken back and other inJur- ies custained by fall from an aero pla le while he was scouting as mill tary aviator for the allied armies Tn France. While here last summer- that is 1914-Mr. Reed received sev- eral letters from Europe and always kindly brought whatever news they contained to the Gateway. He was evidently deeply interested in the war. After leaving here he managed to get into an ambulance corps bound for the front but later joined the actual fighting ranks. He then began a course of aviation to train for that branch of the service. Some weeks ago while scouting the aerOplane met with an accoident and fell. The aviator in charge of the machine was killed outright and Reed suffered in- iuries that will make him a cripple for life. Mir. Reed was here usually with Professor Parker and made sew eral trips out to the mining ground owned by the professor.

MILE EAST TOWARD CHlCkA-

There is movement on foot to build
a mile of granite gravel road begin

toward the Chickasaw lake. The ones
promoting the plan stated this morn

plans and specifications furnished by

material is along the road in great
abundance to do the work, and the
farmers living beyond state that if the
road is built that far out, they will
take up the work and push it along
further.
The city has agreed to grade the
street from the city limits west to
Washington street which will make
about two miles of granite gravel high
way. This work, it is reported will
begin within few days, and the work
will be watched by the city officials
with view of utilizing the same plan
on some of the city streets.

When asked when he would endeavor

the eastern portion of the state. Mr.
Pratt, in speaking of the new rule
promulgated by the comptroller of the

of overdrafts by national banks, said
that the same rule should be made to
apply to state banks. He also ex-
pressed the opinion that loans made
by banks should require the use of
revenue stamps, and stated that bank
ers might be in contempt of the feder-
al government by cashing overdrafts
that did not require the use OF revenue
stamps.

were few who overlooked this de-
