Attys w. T. Hammock and Messrs.
Wall and Grantham, attorneys at law,

James Park, telegraph operator,

J johnson, through Atty. J. w. Hay
good, has filed his involuntary petit
ton, in which he alleges that he is

With the arrival this morning of the
official list OF the numbers drawn LOT
the draft on July 20, employees OF the
local exemption board began today to
shape their work for the summoning of
registrants for examination. AS soon
as the list was received the working OF
checking the cards, as they We're ar

the complete newspaper list, was De

An additional stenographer was set
to work this morning making copies OF
the list in the order of drawing from
which the men will be . summoned
eventually. The preparation of this
list will probably not be completed be-
fore early next week.
Find Half Are Married. A.
Clyde Morse, who is in charge OF the
clerical work of the board, has estap-

registered are married. AS a matter Of
fact the count of the 2,S29 cards shows
that LIS are married, and 1,4lt are
unmarried, or rather were at the time
they registered Such being the case,
and presuming that all, or very nearly
all OF the married men will make claim
for exemption with the proper afIidaV-
its. it is regarded as doubtful whether
the county's quota of 226 will be oo-
tanned from the $50 first 10 be sum-

Der summoned to get the quota may
be very much larger than $50, when II
is remembered that quite large per-
centage will be rejected because OF
physical disqualihcations.

board from the governor the official
order notifying the exemption board
that it must supply the 226 men OF the

then only if the war is German fail
