SOLDIERS LETTERS
To Beatrice Brumley


Somewhere on our way" Oct 90.
Miss Beatrice Brumley,
My Dear Little Friend:
will now take the greatest pleas
ure in trying to write you few lines
as l have a few moments spare time
and / haven't heard from you for
some time. We are now on our way
back from the front. Our division did
itself credit. We took about two
thousand prisoners and about twenty
two miles of front, and the old 129th
was sure a lucky bunch. Bud and
Mike, your cousins, were among the
lucky ones, and also the two Indian
bows who are in my corps, and say
YOU know them. They say Indians are
hard to beat when it comes to fighting.
Now what / mean they sure are, at
least in this company. Of course l
know you know both Of them Kish-
ingky Bright Wing and Merton Eagle
Feather. They are both Tulsa boys
they are the ones who gave you the
kodak that Sunday evening we went
out kodaking in Camp Doniphan, Okla
Say, did you ever get those pictures
finished? If you did wish you would
send me some of them. / sure would
like to see some of them and especial
" the ones / taken of you and the two
Indian boys. / know they are good
The first chance / get am going tc
have some photos taken of myself and
nv horse. sure have a dandy. Sure
wish you could see him.
Beatrice, you should have seen vi
coming back from the front about
weeks whiskers and some Of us wer'
not wearing enough clothes to flag
bread wagon, but We were not worry
ing about how we looked. We weru
all happy to get out alive. Just a
soon as we get back a little fathe
we can buy fresh cheese and chicken

FILES HIS ANSWER
Denies Allegations Of His Wife In Di-
vorce Proceedings and Makes
Counter Charges

In the District Court Of Cherokee
County, Kansas, Sitting at Columbus
Zula 2. Malloch, Plaintiff, VS.. Fred
Malloch, Defendant.
Answer
Comes now the above named de-
fendant and for answer to plaintiffs
supplemental and amended petition
alleges and states:
That he denies each and every ma
terial allegation in said petition con-
tanned except such as are hereinafter
specifically admitted.
We admit that plaintiff and defend
ant are husband and wife, that they
have one minor child, Pal Malloch,
age twelve years and that they are
and have been for more than one year
next, preceding the filing of plaintiffs
supplemental petition residents of
Cherokee County, in the State of Kan
sas.
Defendant expressly denies that he
has at any time been guilty of ex-
treme cruelty toward The plaintiff and
expressly denies the specific acts of
cruelty alleged by plaintiff in her pc
tition and in her amended petition.
Further answer defendant says
that plaintiff has been guilty of eX-
treme cruelty toward the defendant in
this, to-wt: that in the city Of Spring
field, Missouri, about the month of
March nineteen sixteen (1916), the
exact date being now unknown to the
defendant and he being unable to
state the same, the plaintiff entered
into conspiracy with one Ira Herrick
to have the defendant assaulted and
beaten and that the said Ira Herrick
encouraged by the plaintiff attempted
to carry out said conspiracy and did
assault and attempt to do great dily
harm to this defendant.
Defendant further alleges that in
the city of Baxter Springs on the -
day of January, 1918, the plaintiff was
guilty of extreme cruelty toward this
defendant in that she then and there
entered into conspiracy with one w.
D. Strong to assault, wound and kill
this defendant and that in pursuance
Of the said conspiracy with the plain
tiff, the said w. D. Strong did assault
and attempt to kill this defendant, in
flicting a wound upon him with
sharp knife and that after the assault
upon the defendant by the said w. d.
Strong and while the defendant was
suffering from the aforesaid wound
and confined to his room the plaintiff
corresponded or attempted to CORE
spond with the said W. D. Strong and
regret that they had not
succeeded in their plan and purpose
to get rid of the defendant.
Wherefore, having fully answered
defendant prays that plaintiff take
nothing by this suit, that defendant
recover his costs and go hence with
out day.
Attorney for defendant.

The trustees of the Burnham lease,
w. A. johnson, C. F. Adams, Mark
Fitzpatrick, w. F. Warren and Chas.
VonWeise, all of Ardmore, have begun
building a $50 ton mill on the lease
on the state line, across the road from
the Broomcorn mine north Of Cardin.
John H. McGhee of the firm of Car
mody and McGhee of Joplin, is the
contractor and E. Van Drevelt is mine
superintendent.
One of the features of the new
building is the foundation, which diff
fers from anything ever built here as
IN place of the piers on which all mills
are supposed to stand, a solid wall OF
concrete will hold up the new building.
The Burnham lease is supposed to
be unusually rich but it has not been
drilled as thoroughly as some Of the
properties of the field. One shaft is
down to the ore and another part way.
The property is surrounded by good
mines. MI
Mr.. Van Drevelt is a miner of wide
experience, having mined in this and
several countries. He came here from
Mexico from which he was forced by
the war in that country.
The Premier Zinc Company has
something like 1000 tons of jack in its
bins at the Premier plant in the south
ern part of the city of Picher and is
adding to it at the rate of 100 tons
week.
The Premier is extracting lead at
the rate of 65 tons a week which pays
for operation and more, and the jack
will be piled high in the bins to await
the high price that is sure to come.
Last week, which was supposed to
be a poor one for the field on account
of the shortage of labor, saw the Pre-
mier produce 81 tons of jack and "a
tons of lead. The lead brought the
company $6,4OO, and the jack was all
stored in the bins.
