JAMES O'NEIL
 KILLED BY AUTO
Was Struck By Machine at At tawaugan at Midnight
 Saturday
Was Wandering Mill Operative and
 We'll Known In Putnam

James 0'Neil, a wandering mill op- erative, who or various occasions has appeared in the Putnam city court on charges of intoxication, was struck and killed by an automobile at Alta waugan last Saturday about midnight.
 According as the story has been iearned by officials who have been in vestigating, O'Neil and man named McLynn had just walked up from At tawaugan crossing to the village They had been drinking and had a half pint of liquor with them. Me Lynn, who was himself knocked down and stunned by blow on the back of the head, says all he remembers is taking one drink on the walk up from the crossing.
 Four automobiles bound from Moos- up, where the occupants had attend ed a Forester's meeting, to Grosyen- ordale, passed the spot where O'NeiPs body was found in the highway about midnight The owners of the three first cars have been questioned by of fieers.
 Telesphore Biron of Grosvenordale, driver of the first car, denies hitting anyone on the trip. He drove to Put nam, but later returned to the scene of the accident where the cars follow ing stopped He said he returned to see where the rest of the party was. thinking they might have met with an accident.
 In the Biron ear were Adelard Der thiume, Mr Lahamee, Philip Despel- teau, George Eabonte and Victor La bonte, the last two of Putnam.
 The second ear was driven by Jos eph Buregard of Grosvenordale and the third by George Pompeo, also of Grosveaordale The fourth car could have had no part in the accident, as it was too far behind
 Whether 1t was this string of ma chimes that struck and ran over O. Neil's body has not been determined, but according to a local officer who was on the spot soon after the acei- dent, several cars did pass over his body, as nearly all of his bones were broken. He also had a bad scalp wound and a deep cut at the base of his spine
 McLynn was found with a cut on

PULLMAN RED CROSS
HIGHLY EULOGIzED
Workers and Townspeople Are Ac
comprising Wonderful Results
in Backing Up the Boys in
the Service

AS | walked down the main bust
ness avenue Of Pullman yesterday |
passed little shop that arrested my
attention and held it, There were
tables and tables and more tables,
and at every table there were rows
OF women in white, diligently plying
their needles on large quilted pads.
There were women with silyering
hair, young matrons, and younger
maids, but old and young, all had
deft hands and radiant faces, for they
had found the only happiness that
IS worth while-the JOY that comes
with service and sacrifice. Many of
them had put their personal duties
and pleasures by and had, already
been stitching and stitching for
hours, though it was stil early in the
afternoon.
talked With one OF the women
wearing a blue veil, and learned that
they have made 1000 of these split
irrigation pads" and that each one
represents an average of one hour
and Is minutes of time. Besides
these, they have made 1900 other
pieces OF surgical dressings-alI
since April /.
Across the street | found another
Red Cross room, where groups of
women were busily engaged in MAX
ing clothing for our own boys and
for the destitute families Of the sol
diers of France and Belgium. There
were stacks of pajama suits, night
shirts, sweaters and soX for the sol
diers; operating masks and gowns
for doctors and nurses; black sateen
dresses for little children, and COM
plete outfits for tiny babies.
Next door to this shop | found an
other known as the Red Cross
Store which was most UNIQUE. Il
had racks of clothing, shelves Of
canned fruit, antique jeweIery-in
short everything from buttons to
pIows and pigs Everything had been
donated and the woman in charge
was donating her services. This lit
tie shop banked, for the Red Cross.
$223.S0 from March - to April u.
But though there are willing
workers, all OF these things could
not be accomplished if it were not
for the splendid loyalty Of all the
people of the community. Last
week some generous citizen donated
three purebred roosters. On Satur-
day some half dozen young women
walked the streets all day in spite
OF the chilling winds, and sold
chances on these cocks. BY even
ing they turned in $75, This sue
cess was made possible only by the
loyal support Of the public. And
these cocks may be the source Of
still more money, for two of them
have not yet been claimed They
are waiting for numbers 2lq and
1902. If they are not claimed by Sat
urday April 20 they will be re-sold.
The Red Cross Of this community
has been most generously supported.
but it also has need of it. The ma
terial in the 1000 split irrigation
pads, alone, cost $500. to say nothing
