MEN TO COMPOSE THE
ARMY FROM AUDUBON COUNTY,
From This First List Of 210 Men Drafted This County Our Quota Of
1903 Soldiers Will Probably Be Selected.

The board of exemption in Audi
bon county finished up it's work last
Saturday of examining the 210 men
called in the first draft from which
was supposed to be selected the 1O3
men who passed successfully to fill
the quota from this county. The ex-
animation held last week was to de-
termine the physical qualifications of
each man.
From the list of men examined,
and published herewith, SO failed en-
tirely to pass the physical examina-
ton, while 1855 did pass. OF this
number II claimed no exemptions
whatever. lightweight filed claims
for exemption, and the past
few days the local board has been
meeting to consider the claims. How
ever, preliminary work was taken up
until today noon when the actual
work of passing on the claims was
begun
1t is only conjecture to make any
prediction whatsoever as to the num-
Der of men who will be granted ex-
emption. In some counties of the
state the exemptions were so heavy
that the board was compelled to call
several hundred more men in order
to make up the quota of the county.
The board at late hour this after
noon could not tell whether more
men would have to be called in Audi
bon county. They have their instruc-
lions from the war department, and
these will be followed to the letter.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
has informed the governors of all
states that one-third of the quota of
men drafted for army service under
the selection bill will be called to the
coors September first. and sent to
training camps between the first and
fifth of September. AS soon as the
local board sends in the complete list
from Audubon county the names of
those who will go at that time will be
published in The Republican.
