Private Graves Speaks at Two
Patriotic Meetings Held In
The County Last Friday And
Saturday; Makes Very Inter.
esting Talk of Soldier Life

A falr-sized crowd went to loves
hall last Friday evening to hear Pri-
vate Graves. wounded American SOL
dier relate his experiences on the bat
tlefields of France. Private Graves
came to this city under the auspices
of the Fourth Liberty Loan commit
tee.
The Julesburg Concert Band met
the soldier at the train and escorted
him to the hall, where the bend rem
dered a number of patriotic selections
previous to Private Graves talk.
Father II. A. Geisert in most i'm
pressive manner made few introduc-
tory remarks most fittingly for the
occasion, concluding by introducing
Private Graves to the audience.
Although not an orator or possess
ing any eloquence whatsoever Private
Graves talk was straight from the
handle and he related his thrilling ex-
perlences in very interesting man
ner, which was greatly appreciated by
the audience. He told of the narrow
escapes which he had experienced and
how finally he had been the victim
of the German gas while at his post
as a machine gunner. Although now
disabled, he expressed his desire to get
back into the fighting ranks and help
his comrades give the Hun h.
Father Geisert closed the meeting
by making some very interesting re-
marks which were right to the point
sending home the all-important fact
that we at home must do our duty the
same as Private Graves and thousands
of other brave American boys were
doing their duty "Over There"
Private Graves spoke to similar
patriotic meeting at Sedgwick Satur-
day evening, at which large crowd
was in attendance. Chairman James

city being also present. they accom-

DIR. G. G.F.EWlNG IS
COMMISSIONED
FIRSTLEUTENANT

We believe about the proudest man
in Sedgwick county these days is DR..
G. F. Ewing. And why shouldn't he
be? The latter part of last week he
received word from army headquarters
to the effect that he had been com
missioned First Lieutenant in the
Army Medical Corps in active service.
and was instructed to report at Ft.
Riley, Kansas for duty on October Is.
Doc has many friends here who are
glad to know of his achievement and
hope for him the best of success in
his military career. He has been busy
the past several days arranging his
affairs here preparatory to entering
the service of his country and putting
in his best !icks in fighting for the
Stars and Stripes.
DR.. J. F. Hart of Elba. Nebr.. ar
rived here the first of the week and
has made negotiations whereby he
will assume Dr. Ewing's medical prac-
tice here, and DR.. Hart expects to
move his family here soon and become
permanently identified with this conf
munity. He is a pleasant man to meet
and comes here we'll recommended. We
extend, on behalf of the citizens of
Julesburg and vicinity, the glad hand
of welcome. and wish him success.

MISSING BOY IS
FOUND AFTER A
LONG SEARCH

Our readers will remember of the
account published in this paper last
winter in regard to the mysterious
death of Elige Shearer and disappear
ance of his son Emery previous TO the
fathers death. At that time it was
the concensus of opinion that the boy
had met foul play. but the search was
never given up there still remaining
the hope that the boy would turn up.
Last Thursday Deputy Sheriff Ed
Thunderstorm in company with Mr..
Shearer from Iowa. uncle of the boy,
drove to HaXtun, and near that place
they came face to face with the lost
boy Emery Shearer. who claimed that
he had been working at various places
in that vicinity for some time past,
and that only short time ago was
he apprised of the fact that his faith
er was dead. The boy was brought
to Julesburg, where he was question
ed in the matter, but did not give any
light on the mystery, he seeming not
willing to talk much about the matter.
There is still deep mystery sur
rounding the case, it even being more
intricate than ever now that Emery
that he had met foul play is shattered
to atoms. Recent developments in
the case have paved the way for new
clues and perhaps the mystery will
yet be solved. The boy and his uncle
left last Friday night for Iowa where
relatives reside

CLUB AND AGRICULTURAL
DAY NOT TO BE HELD

The Sedgwick County Club and Az
ricultural Day which was scheduled to
have been held at Ovid tomorrow, FRI
day, Oct. 1lth will not be held on that
date on account of the order of the
County Health Physician forbidding
the gathering while the Spanish In
fluenza epidemic is prevalent in the
county.
Many will be disappointed as an in.
teresting program was in store for an

have been the result, and no doubt a
large crowd would have been present
ut the occasion. We are not informed
as to whether or not the event VIII
be held at a later date, the weather
permitting, but presume that an effort
will be made to do so.
