The fact was brought to light by

the first reading of the 19i7-1S bud

commission. this morning as TO
whether or not the proposed appro-
priation was too large. An appro-

was proposed for this purpose.

from the budget. but no further ac-
ton was taken.
The city. is in arrears TO the coun-
sty, ii also developed, to the amount
of $3,307.43 in payment Of the citys

late this afternoon after being in
session two days.

called to be examined by. the board
this morning and out of this number
SO failed to report, making a total of
about SO who had failed to report up
to the noon hour today in the second
call for soldiers.
County Auditor Tucker said this
was largely due to the fact that the
drafted men have become better ac-
quainted with the rules and regula-
| tions and have made requests for
| transfers to be examined by other
| local boards rather than make the
| trip back to Cass county. The audi
| tor stated that the transfers at this
compared with those OF the first.
Many men have joined the military
service, about half of those failing
to report now serving the colors.

This mornings mail brought word
to the clerk of the draft board that
@. Nicholson, called to report for
examination today, died on Aug. A.,
1917. This information was COM
municated to the board by AISLE
Nicholson, father of the young man.
G. Nicholson lived near kindred, and
during the term of Egbert Gilbert
son as county treasurer, preceding
the election of E. C. Eddy, he was
employed in that Office. Later he
took work at the Standard Oil Co.
of Fargo. His health became poor
and year was spent at Colorado
