their son, Albert, who as far as Is

May Is. 1917.
Dear Mother:
Tuesday. May sth. we got off from
Paris and after three days of easy driv-
ing we arrived at our post An ambu-
lance section was already here and we
came as their relief so that they could
go on to a more active part of the front.
The new sections are sent as far as
possible to comparatively quiet regions,
so that they can get broken in to their
work gradually
"A year ago the heaviest fighting of
the war was here and our ambul ance
men worked night and day; now things
are quiet enough that only six of us are
on duty at one time. OF course, if
either side begins an offensive we will
work all the time. We work for "a
hours and then have two days of rest.

FIND MISSING BODY
IN kANKhKEEHN
Shocking Discovery is Made
by Jasper County Sur
veyor Yesterday.

GROWN POINT. IND, June s.-Ths
body of stephen Mullaney of Wheat
field. was found by Surveyor l. A.
Bostwick of Rensselaer, about twelve
miles north of Wheatheld in the Kan
kakee marshes.
Mullaney had been missing since last
March and it was supposed by the peo-
pie IN the vicinity of the Kankakee
that he had left for the west. as he
had purchased a ticket OF the Wheat
field ticket agent and for this reason
no search was made for him.
In the dead mans possession was
found a quart bottle of whiskey. prac-
tically empty, and a little money. and
it is the opinion of the coroner that
Mullaney had consumed almost the
entire quart of whiskey between
Wheatfield and the place where he was
found and that he became so drunk
that he was unable to get up and died
from cold and exposure.
