A telegram announcing his death
January II was received from PERISH
ing Saturday. 1t revealed no details
of the accident nor when or where
it happened. Shortly before receiving
the telegram his aunt, Mrs. Arthur

had a stove and plenty of wood and
was keeping warm in spite of the
cold weather.
Training Is Rigorous.
He told of the rigorous training
the troops we're receiving and that
he was constantly busy from o'clock
in the morning until 9 o'clock at
night. The officers theoretically were
to have leisure hours from 4 o'clock in
the afternoon until 7 o'clock, but dur
ing that time they ate their dinner and
censored all mail.
Lieutenant Mccormick was Is years
Of age and born in Omaha. He gave
up his business interests in New York
at the first calf for troops and en-
tered the first officers training camp
at Plattsburg last May. He was COM
nissioned . second lieutenant and
went to France with the Rainbow
division.
He was a son of Harry Mccormick,
who was also born here and lived for
years in the old Mccormick home
stead at Eighteenth street and Capitol
avenue. His mother was formerly
Miss Mabel Fonda, a graduate Of
the Omaha High school.
