Marshall County Boy in Band.
There are some Iowa boys in the

is a former Marshall county young
man. He is Ben Bovee, son Of Frank
L. Bovee, who lived all his life in Mar
shall county up to seven years ago,
when the family moved to Charles
City. The band, when it played there
last week, drew crowd of 5000. which
is one reason why the organization
may play at an overflow meeting in
the Baptist church. It will be the first
time in a number Of years that a band
representing an arm Of the national
war service has played in this city.
