More Red Cross N
Workers Needed
Mrs. Burr Starts Surgical Dressing
and Gauze Work in
Ordway

Red Cross workers of Ordway
commenced the surgical dressing and
gauze work Monday of this week un
der the direction of Mrs. C. H.
Burr of Boston, who is here getting
classes started in that line of Red
Cross work. The parlor of the Be-
rendo hotel was converted into
room especially for this sort Of sew
ing, as it must be away from the
other garment work and in room
as sanitary as it is possible to have.
Mn preparation for this the officials
Of the Twin Lakes Land and Water
company, which owns the building,
allowed the carpet to be removed
from the floor and permitted other
arrangements necessary.
Mrs Burr states that splendid
work is being done by the women
here and that she is delighted with
their interest in this branch of the
Red Cross supply work. She has had
the sewing room filled each afternoon
besides having Tuesday and Thurs
day evening class started. She hopes
to have a Saturday morning class.
The Red Cross work is of vital ne
cessity, states Mrs. Burr. She deems
that the war of necessity calls the
women to this service just as the
Chil has peeh hiduS Aoi hiSi " '"S
army.
1--WE must. in every community,
get down to business" said Mrs.
Burr. "The Red Cross is calling for
more supplies, and a million band
ages are needed during the next two
months. They are now being used
at the rate OF 1900 day"
Mrs. Burr Is devoting her time to
this work at her own expense. She
does not receive a salary. nor does
she have her expenses paid. Her
whole heart and soul are in the work
and she is doing her share in this
way and urges the necessity Of every
woman doing her "bit.''

WAUGH is ACTING

At the outset Of the case, when the
defendant, A. F. Enyart, was given
preliminary hearing and was bound
over for trial, he filed an affidavit
disqualifying Sheriff Worker to act
in the case in summoning jury and
during the trial. Names were then
furnished the court from which the
state and defense could agree on
summons to act, and after numer-
Gus ones had been considered and
several sessions held D. X. Waugh
was selected.
Among the names submitted by
the state were Thomas Fountain.
Charles Schroeder, Will Kropf, J. R.
Thomas, Fred Hoffman and D. X.
Waugh, members Of the coroner's
jury setting in the case last February
after the killing of Black, and D. F.
Bartlett, E. P. johnson, Fred Tar
box, Cyrus Cravens, N. o. Walker,
]. e. Downey, w. r. Ferguson, H. E.
Mast and w. P. Huffman. Among
those suggested by the defense were
Thomas Gallavan, William Auck-
land. James Smith and A. L. Butcher.
The affidavit disqualifying Sheriff
Worker would have thrown the jury
summoning into the hands of the
county coroner, w. w. Griffin, but
the state in turn disqualified Griffin.
When the case opened Monday a
motion was made that Deputy Sher-
iff Homer Reid be disqualified as
bailifY and the defense asked that no
one connected with the sheriff's Office
be allowed to act as bailiff. j. E.
Downey was then agrLed on as bailiff
and has charge of the jury during the
trial.
