PENSACOLA BOY WAS
NOT ON THE MEMPHIS

Information received by his parents,
at st. Andrews, Fla, conveys the
happy message that Marion Mcclellan.
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Mcclellan.
was not on the Inflated cruiser Mem
phis, which was wrecked in San Do
mingo waters last week.
This young man was with the other
unfortunate Pensacolian, Mr.. RiedeI,
while the squad, in which they had
enlisted, were at Norfolk.
1t has now been learned that young
Mcclellan has been transferred to and
is now stationed on the Apache, and
is consequently not among those from
the crew of the Memphis, WHO either
lost their lives, or were injured when
the vessel went on the rocks.

thought has not been recovered. but
should the remains be found, the body

Decidedly the most interesting
matter to come before the board of

night will be the consideration of the
appointment of highway engineer
1t is not known definitely whether

tonight, but the chairman has an

There is more than ordinary inter

that the announcement that the mat
