Annual Memorial
Service of EIks
Was Held SUNDAY

One of the most impressive and
gorgeous ceremonies that has been
held in Bisbee for some time was the
annual memorial services of the Be
nevolent Protective Order of Elks
held at the Orpheum theatre Sunday
afternoon. The occasion was to pay
tribute to members who passed over
the great divide during the past year.
The solemn ritual of the Elks lodge
was carried out The exercises were
started with a musical selection and
then an address by the exalted ruler.
An elaborate program o. instrumental
and vocal selections was arranged for
the occasion and carried out.
Nineteen members of the local
lodge are now in the army of de-
mocracy fighting for America. This
fact was brought out by Henry c.
Stillman of Douglas. formerly resi-
dent OF this place and one of the
charter members of the Bisbee lodge.
In former years the annual memo
rial services of this lodge were held
exclusively for members of the lodge,
but an exception was made this year
and the general public was invited,
which resulted in the Orpheum thea
tire being crowded to its capacity. The
services were concluded by the entire
audience singing AUD Lang Syne."
+ Five members of the local lodge
died during the year. They were:
lillian c. Rector, ID. p. Hickey, J. X.
zoe. John Cox and Daniel j. Ken
nedy, the latter dying last Thursday
morning.
At the close of the services the
Elks in a body repaired TO the Gene
terry, where they attended the unveil-
ing of the monument dedicated to the
memory of George Warren.
The memorial services we're in
charge of Sam Frankenburg, and
much of the credit for the success
of the affair is due him.

ENLISTED men
GIVEN CHANCE
FOR EXEMPTIONS

Enlisted men who feel as though
they were treated unfairly when
they were drafted, and who feei
complete hearing by their local
boards in support of their local
for exemption, will be given another
opportunity to present and prove
their claims. These men also will
haze an opportunity to have their
ca es reviewed by division head
quarters.
Each applica ION for discharge
must originate with the soldier in
camp, who will write a letter to the
division commander, through his
company commander, in which his
claims shall be clearly stated and
substantiated with full and complete
proof of the grounds for exemption
pendents, and other responsible per
sons.
The men have until December Is to
forward such claims to the division
commander. and if they are unable 10
secure the proper affidavits within
such time they must forward their let
ter and state additional proof will fol
4ow at a later date.
Application for discharge will be
considered from soldiers where the
reason has arisen since their Undue
ton into the service. For instance.
should a soldiers father die, leaving
his mother absolutely dependent
upon him for support, his application
for discharge will be looked into.
Whenever a case like this comes up,
the men may apply for their discharge
at any time, and it is within the prov
ince of the division commander 10
either keep them in the service or let
them go.
Men who cannot unquestionably
prove their claims, or who have had
the opportunity to and did not sub
nit all their proof to the local boards.
need not apply for discharge, because
their claims viii be denied. This is
the latest official order regarding the
discharge of drafted men.

feet Of snow by the searching party

weeks ago.
Neighboring miners missing the
two men had instituted the search,
and when II was found that the cabin
had been wrecked by the snowslide
II was believed that the men would
be found dead beneath the debris.
The top portions Of the cabin, were
carried away when the slide hit It.,
and the snow was banked deep over
the portion that was left. When
the rescue party had dug away the
snow the bodies OF the two men were
found In bed. the slide having un-
doubtedly occurred during the night
when they were asleep. packing the
snow so closely about them that they
were smothered to death without be-
ing able to make q struggle.
The bodies will be brought to Ker-
by, q distance OF about IA miles, their
disposition awaiting word from rela-
tives in the east.
Both Stearns and Eautzenhiser
