Quite number of Scotland people
attended Red Cross sale at Vodnany
last Sunday. The sale was gotten up
largely through the efforts of Father
Gross. pastor of the Catholic church
at Vodnany. The farmers contribut-
ed literally of farm products and the
ladies furnished many articles of fan
cy work and other household articles
for the sale Following the services
at the church the crowd gathered at
the hall where brief addresses were
made by DR.. Koobs, president of the
local Red Cross chapter; F D. Wicks,
chairman of the county exemption
board, and Jos. Janousek, of Yank-
ton, who spoke in Bohemian. The
sale was conducted by Sheriff Eads,
w. A. Cobb. and another auctioneer
whose name we do not recall. The
sale of articles brought nearly ST, 500
and other contributions brought the
receipts up to about $4,000. The
citizens of vodnany are 100 per cent
loyal. and in every call for war relief
they have responded nobly.

Mr.. George Hanna received a letter
the first of the week bringing the
welcome news that the message re-
ceived last week to the effect that his
son Eldon had been killed in rail-
road wreck was mistake. The name
given in the message was not Eldon
Hanna but there was close resem-
blance and messages of inquiry sent
to Washington brought replies that
seemed to confirm the original mes
sage. From the letter it appears
that his other son, Clifford, was OH a
train that was wrecked in France
when thirty soldiers were killed, and
Clifford had both legs broken. He
is now in hospital in France, and
as there appear to be no internal in
juries his recovery is expected. Flo
information was received regarding
Eldon, but the supposition is that he
was not on the train that was wreck
ed and is safe. The injury to Clifford
is bad enough. but the facts are so
much better than the first reports in
Dictated that the family are receiving
the congratulation of their many
friends.

east of Scotland, was struck by light
