BOYS ARE IN FINE METTLE.

Quite number of parties wercmadc
up here to visit the boys at Camp
Moore near Columbia Sunday. Most
OF them went down by automobile, but
several went down on the train.
A large crowd Of visitors were at
the camp. The Laurens boys were
found in high spirits, although about
third Of them were turned down by
the medical examiners. The company
now numbers little over GO men and
these will 60 to Mexico as a definite
unit in few days, possible on Friday.
In the officers quarters there was an
air Of disappointment over the failure
of more boys from the city to enlist.
Some resentment was evident too over
the efforts to organize another COM
pany in Laurens when men were need
ed SO badly for the Traynham Guards.
However, the failure to recruit the
company to full strength and to a
number that would compare favorably
with other companies has stimulated
the fighting spirit in the boys and judg-
ing from their words Sunday they are
going to make it hot for the McXicans.

No complaints were heard as to the

pulled off to get by the medical cN-

G. NJ. Clarke is asking $3.50 from the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Rail-
road Company for the alleged injury
and death to horses shipped by him
from Ottumwa to Chicago. Clarke says
he shipped a carload of horses out OF
this city for the Chicago market and
alleges that on account of the rough
handling and neglig,$ ace of the COM
pany the animals were damned, bruised
and injured. The delay shrunk the
prices so that he lost $40 on the car
and lost one animal valued at $40.

Robert Mills place southwest Of the
city, known as the Ross farm. Luckily
there was little property damage and
neither Vern nor Leon Mills, who were
working there, were hurt The bolt
struck the roof of the barn, tore off a
couple of punches of shingles and fol.
lowed the rafters to the ground. A door
was knocked off it's hinges. but the
barn did not catch fire. The repairs can
be made for s25 or $50.

Two barns were struck by lightning
and burned, during the storm in Mon

gan school house. 1t was a new barn.
built last year at a cost of $500. 1t
had just been filled with hay. The
other barn was on the Bees farm on
the township line south. 1t may have
been in Pottawattamie county, as there
are Bees farms on both sides of the
road. We have no particulars except
that the building was burned to the
ground. Frank Fogarty Of Irwin lost
