Good Lungs Saves Boys Life

Cyrus Citizen:
A pair of good lungs probably saved
the life of Henry Manning, II year
old son of J. H. Manning, last Sun
day. The LAD was playing in the barn
yard on the Manning farm, about two
miles southwest of this village, when
he was suddenly attached ny a bull,
which had been let out of the barn
for an airing. The boy saw him COM
ing, but was obliged to go thru big
drift of snow and was unable to get
out in time to escape the animal. Find
ing that there Was nothing else to do,
Henry brought his lungs into play and
let out few piercing screams that
brought his father out Of the house in
hurry. When Mr.. Manning arrived
on the scene the bull was playing ball
with the boy, so to speak, and had
tossed him into the air several
times before Manning could rescue
his son from the perilous position
in which he was in.
As luck would have it, however.
young Henry was not serio lsly in
jured and aside from a few minor

France certainly needs wheat, at

other Allies. There is a call for every
one of us to do his utmost.
wheat, however, is only part Of

the girls that they were afraid to
clay their best and consequently
they made only one field basket,
but their opponents never got a
point only on fouls. At the end
of the third when the games was
supposed to be finished the game
stood four and four. Then they
played for fifteen minuets or
more until all were very tired
when the referee called the
game. The boys started out to
play their usual snappy game de-
termined to win and then the re-
feree began to call fouls. They
bo. didn't know when they made
fouls and became fused. and
then angry. Tne way they play

day. Sunday nights and Monday
morning the citizens Of Cheyenne
Wells turned out aad showed to
the soldier boys coming from
Camp Funston through this city,
that we had not forgotten them.
They were met at the depot by
a large concourse of our, citizens
who stayed up all night to be
there when the trains pulled in
and supplied them with coffee.
cakes, sandwiches, etc. Our bus
mess men opened up their lar
ders and supplied the boys with
apples. bananas, grapes, cookies
tobacco, etc in fact all kinds Of
eatables were furnished.
DR.. Homer furnished tobacco
and smokes for the boys. The
ladies Of the Red Cross furnished
coffee. milk, etc. also several
other citizens furnished coffee
cakes, ETC., for the boys, and
those whose boys were on the
train furnished eats for their own
'boys and enough for several 9th
ers, and the boys all appreciated
this treat and said this was the
first town on their trip out of
Funston that had treated them
in this fashion, and that it made
them feel as if they had gotten
among home folks again, and that
they never would forget the cili-
zens Ut Cney enne Wells.
Our merchants w>.re not stingy
with their gifts, IS they took up
ples and such like by the auto
loads and had them put in each
car. candies, cakes. sandwiches.
etc were given by the children
and older people. The coffee was
kept hot on the stoves at the de-
pot, in fact the depot was taken
possession Of by our citizens
without q murmur from the u.
P. operators. and how the soldier
boys die relish this hot coffee.
The school was dismissed on
Monday morning so the children
might have a chance to see some
OF the soldier boys, and they took
advantage of it by coming down
and helping to distribute the cof-
fee. sugar and cream to those Of
the boys who wished it.
The Cheyenne county boys have
about ali gone to California ex-
cept three boys. Avery Parham,
Waiter Snyder. and a young man
by the name of Gray, we saw
most of them as them as they
passed through, for we stayed
there to see them. They nearly
all look good, and say they are
feeling fine. but they were pleas
ed TO think they were going to
California, for then they would
be in a warmer climate.
AS the last train pulled out
from the depot the boys gave
three rousing cheers for Chey-
enne Wells and their generous
citizens, who had not forgotLen
the soldier boys.
On these trains that passed
through here. there were boys
from Texas, Mexico, Arizona.
Kansas, Colorado and several
other states.
When these things were being
passed 10 the boys some said they
did not have any money to pay
for them, they were promptly in
formed that it was for the boys
and it was free to all. They said
at one place in Kansas that they
charged them 40 cents a dozen
for doughnuts. and we did hear
of place where they charged
them 60 cents for a boz of sar-
dimes. If this is patriotism, we
