that Mr.. Crutcher is very loyal sup

The above message received Tues
day afternoon by Mr. and Mrs. w. S.
King, residing northwest of Spring
dale, brought information of the
weunding of the first Springdale boy
while in action on the war front. The
message gave the young mans initials
incorrectly, as it should have been
John II. instead of John P, and the
press dispatches made the same err
ror, but this error could have been
made in transmission. Press reports
also gave the date as February 25.
and this was also probably an error.
Judging from the message received
here it is not considered likely that
the young mans wounds are at all
serious.
Mr.. King is 2G years of age, and
was reared here. being son of Mr..
and Mrs. w. S King. Several months
ago he went to California to work.
and was called in the first draft, hay
ing registered at Imperial Valley. He
entered the service in October. and
after few weeks training sailed for
France, arriving in that country
shortly before Christmas His par
ents heard from him shortly after his
arrival, but have had no word from
him recently. He is young man of
splendid physique and str -.-s.i-
tuition, and his home I'll nds are Of
the opinion that he Win account for
several of the Kaisers ninions yet
before the war is over.s
