ers to his recital of the Iowa boys
participation in the wonderful fight at
Sergy which changed hands several
times before the "Yanks" finally cap.
tured it and annihilated the crack
Prnssian Guards, the kaiser's own
regiment.
This fight waged for a week tho
latter part of July and il was during
this engagement that the casualties
of G company were more largely in
creased than at any time before. Hero
it was that some of the Ottumwa lads
made the supreme sacrifice and 9th
ers received wounds of varying de
grees of gravity.
The Oskaloosa company of which
Lieutenant Hoar is an officer, was
lined up on the left of G company and
he was able to give graphic account
of the battle and how the local lads
with the balance of the Iowans of the
Rainbow division covered themselves
with glory under battle of the fiercest
kind.
The Oskaloosan stated that ne wat
the only officer of his company tha

BOMB LAID TO HAYWOOD'S AID
"Shorty" Wilson, Secretary to |. w.
w. Leader, Named by Assistant
States Attorney Sullivan.

Chicago, Sept. John w. (Shorty)
Wilson, private secretary to William
ID. Haywood, convicted leader of the
Industrial Workers of the World, was
positively identified today by four
persons as man seen near the scene
of the federal building bomb outrage,
who ran from the Adams street side
of the structure shortly before the
explosion. .....
Michael F. Sullivan, assistant states
attorney, made the positive statement
the bomber had been taken and that
Wilson is the man. But federal off.
cials were more cautious, refusing to
confirm or deny Sulhvan's statements.
1t has been discovered that 100
sticks of dynamite were stolen a
month ago from a freight car near
Chicago. This is virtually the only
manner criminals may asquire high
eXplosives-unIess they are manufac,
tured in hall room laboratory-be,
cause permits are necessary to pur,
chasers.
That this stolen dynamite was used
in the federal building bomb is be.
lieved by the police. In reconstruc.
tion of the death dealing machine by
experts yesterday it was determined
the explosive agent was evidently five
sticks of dynamite.
