A few Of the names printed in last
weeks Union are not included in the
above list for the reason that it was
found necessary to call others to take
their places.

In addition to his wife, he has grand
mother dependent upon him. He tells
this story in a letter to Mr.. Doane and

gated and Indian Murphy will proba-,.
bly, find that his age contention and the
digging up of grandmother at the
eleventh hour will not work out sue
cessfully.
Chas. J. Schelin of Milaca, who is
convalescing from severe attack of
pleurisy, will probably not be in con-
dition to go to camp for month. Al
though perfectly willing to entrain,

home boys to camp, and it is only

manifested. Charley has set an ex--
ample for slackers.
