7 APPS Sounded For Another Morris Boy---
Earl Judd Buried With Military Honors

Cooley, Jr The firing squad gave
the regular military salute, after
which taps were sounded and the
hero soldier was lowered into the
grave.
The remains were escorted from
Camp Kearny by Sergeant Claire F.
Schick and he spoke in the highest
terms of Earl. He said: HE was
the finest man in the Division of 2O,-
600 and was loved by everyone of
his companions. His loss was keen
ly felt by the other members of his
company" AS tribute to their
dead comrade they bought the finest
mahogany casket that money could
buy to send him home in. His cas-
ket was draped in a large American
flag and this flag was kept by Mrs.
Judd and will be one of her treas
ured keep-sakes in the years to come.
Earl Soranzo Judd was born Febru-
ary 6, 1895, at Norris, Mimi, and
died at Camp Kearny, San Diego,
California, Dec. 5, 1918, from pneu-
monia. He enlisted the 18th of
April, 1917, at Willmar and was sent
to Jefferson Barracks, Mo. From
there he was sent to Noegales, Ariz,
and was put in the truck company,
where he stayed until Aug. 1917.
He was then transferred to Ell Paso
and stayed until June 1918 when he
was transferred to Douglas, Arizona,
and put in the calvary. While there
he saw considerable service on the
border. In August of 1918 he was
sent to Camp Kearny, Calf, and put
in Battery F of the 48th Field Art
illery, where he acted as supply SER
geant until he was taken sick.
Earl is dead but his memory will
live long after him and his mother
can be proud Of her hero son. The
sacrifice is painful, especially when
she was expecting him home in few
weeks to stay, but he gave his life
to the greatest cause, the cause of
Liberty. He proved his love for home
and country, for did not the MAJ
arene say, Greater love hath no
man than this, that he lay down his
life for his friends"
Earl is survived by his mother,
his brother Ralph, and his sister
Grace. They have the sympathy of
the entire community in their ber-
eavement but they should be COM
forted and happy in the fact that
their loved one died a hero.

Thorval Hanson this week received
letter from his brother, c. e. Han
son, of Co. G., 58th Inf, who was
last week reported wounded in Sept
ember. The letter is dated Novem-
Der 6, and Says
''This leaves me feeling all o. K.
My wounds are healing up nicely. T
am able to get around on crutches at
the present time. The weather has
been fine the last days; it is fair
and real warm for this season of the
year. Guess you are pretty well post
ed on the war news these days. Our
boys are still chasing the Huns. T
don't know how long it is going to
take them to reach Berlin, but I do
know we will see Berlin quite q
while before they see Paris. I am
receiving the very best of attention
while here in the hospital"

Whether death comes on the field
of battle or in preparation for serv-
ice, man has given the greatest of
all gifts to his country and those for
whom he gave up his life can but in
slight measure repay the sacrifice
by bowling in brief and laying him
to rest with all the patriotic honors
due him.
Another Stevens county boy is now
numbered among the dead heroes and
altho he never saw any actual fight
ing, yet he is entitled to the same
praise and glory as those who fell
while in action.
Earl Judd, son of Mrs. Sadie Judd,
of Morris, died Thursday of last
week at Camp Kearny, San Diego,
Calf, after an illness of few days
with pneumonia. Several messages
received in Morris last week stated
that he was very sick but the last
message said he was somewhat better
and would likely recover. Mrs. Judd
was planning to go to her sons bed
side, but on receipt of the message
that he was better decided to remain
at home. A message Friday morn
ing said that he had passed away
and the remains were being shipped
home.
The body arrived in Morris We'd
nesday afternoon but no funeral
could be held because of the re-
ctriot;opc of tho hoo1tb o,,tbor;fioc
The National Guard would have es-
corted the dead hero to his final rest
ing place but even this was forbidden
on account of health conditions.
However, six comrades, returned
soldiers from different camps, acted
as pail bearers, and Bugler Nobbs Of
the Morris National Guard, with the
immediate members of the family,
escorted the remains to the cemetery
where they were laid to rest in the
family lot.
The body was taken direct from
the depot to the cemetery and short
service was held at the grave. The
pail bearers were Walter Ferrell,
Will Cooley, Jr., D. e. Nelson of
Kerkhoven, Phil Stone Of Hibbing,
Archie Stone, and Sergeant G. F.
Schick of Camp Kearny. Rev. Stever
had charge Of the service which con-
sisted of short reading and prayer.

Friday the Thirteenth" Will See
Fire Traps Torn Down and
Salvage Sold at Auction

Delapidated old shacks which are
a fire menace in various parts OF the
city are today to be disposed of by
the State Fire Marshal. Some time
ago these buildings were condemned
as fire menace and the owners were
ordered to remove them. In most
cases the owners took no action, so
the state has decided to take action
itself, and this, week notices were
posted on the condemned buildings
stating that they were condemned
and about to be torn down and that
the lumber and other salvage would
be sold at public auction of Friday,
Dec. 18th, at 2 p. m.
The following are the buildings
that have been SO condemned and the

The influenza situation seems to
be improving in Stevens county al
tho in some families every member
is sick with the dread disease and
other people are coming down with
it each. day. There are fewer cases
at this writing than there were a
week ago and only one or two very
serious cases. DR.. Birch has the sit
uation we'll in hand and is working
night and day in cooperation with
the doctors to relieve the sick and
help in every way possible.
The influenza hospital has been
great help. There were sixteen
patients last week and many of these
have recovered and been returned to
their homes. Five nurses from the
cities are on the JOB every minute
and with six nurses of Morris and
other ladies who are helping, the
patients are being well taken care
of at the hospital and in private
homes. Mr.. Birch says he gets about

MINNESOTA GUARDS
RETURN HOME SOON
Total American Casualties From ALI
Causes Given Out by War
Department

All Minnesota National Guard un-
it's, now in France, with the exception
of the 151st (First Minnesota) Field
Artillery will return with the first
units to be sent home from abroad,
General P. G. March, chief Of staff,
indicated recently. The 34th Divi-
sion which includes the 136th, 135th,
136th (First, Second and Third Min
nesota) Infantry regiments, and the
18th (Second Minnesota) Field
Artillery, was named by General
March as among the divisions desig-
mated to be sent back from overseas
as soon as transports are available.
Thirty divisions, about 100000
men, will be kept overseas as an
army of occupation, and the remaind-
er of the American Expeditionary
Forces about 100000 troops, will
be returned at once.
Many other Minnesotans are with
aero squadrons, tank corps and other
special service units. which will be
sent home at an early date.
General P. c. March, the chief of
staff, also made public total of cas-
ualties In the American Expedition
ary Forces and long list of Ameri-
can units already ordered for the re-
turn to the United States as soon as
possible, including the seth Division
from Camp Grant, ILL.,, which was on
it's way to the fighting front uhan
the armistice was signed. y
The total American casualties.

cabled the War department as COM
plete, were as follows:

and city building will be built at the
same time, and architecturally will
appear as one building but the two
will be divided by an interior line
wall.
Arrangements will now be made to
get plans made for the building so
that construction can be begun as
soon as building operations can be
resumed.
The almost unanimous vote given
for the armory again demonstrated
the progressiveness Of the citizens Of
Norris. The armory will mean to the
city all that was pointed out in the
prediction campaign in the way of
providing the city with a large aud
itorium and a suitable Office build
ing for the city and home for the
fire department, but it will also mean
opportunity for again putting on a
great annual farm crop exposition
here. The Corn and Alfalfa Show
of five years ago was the biggest ad-
vertisement for this section that was
ever planned, but those in charge
at that time realized that it's import
ance could be greatly increased by
making it mid-winter annual ex-
position if suitable quarters could be
obtained. Heretofore there has been
no building in this portion of the
state that could house such a show,
but the new armory will fill this
need, and Morris on account of hav
ing the armory here at the seat of
the West Central School Of Agricul-
tural can have an annual farm show
every year that will attract wide at
tention and be of inestimable ben
fit.

INFLUENZA STAMPED
OUT AT AG. SCHOOL
Two of Returning Students are
Victims Of the Disease, But No
Others in Danger

The community was shocked on
Saturday by the sad news of the
death of two of the students at the
Agricultural School from influenza,
and wild stories began to be spread
of the prevalence of the dread disease
at the school. The public may be
reassured, however, that all danger
is now passed, and there are now on
1y two cases at the school and these
are recovering nicely.
The students who died last Satur-
day were Lloyd Lewig of Nashua,
and Leo Ferry of DeGraff. Lewig
had the influenza while at home when
the school was closed, but had re-
lapse after he returned to school, and
Ferry came down with the disease the
second day after he returned to
school. Lewig's roommate, John
Donnan, was also very sick with the
disease, but is now out of danger.
There were only about dozen
cases in all at the school, and most
of these were light. There have
been no new cases for over a week.
The state university, of which the
farm school is part, is directly un-
der the jurisdiction of the State
Board of Health. The university and
farm school at Minneapolis has been
running all the time, and the local
farm school was closed contrary to
the advise of the State Board of
Health and re-opened on their order,
and is acting entirely under the
direction of the state board.
The principal preventive measure
is the compulsory wearing of masks,
which accounts for the rapid stamp
ing out of the disease when it was
brought back to the school when the
school re-opened. Arrangements will
be made for the students to be vac
cinated against the disease.

STEVENS COUNTY SENT
MANY MEN TO FIGHT
Report of Board Shows County Had
256 Selectives Besides Volun-
teers

The report of the work of the
Stevens County Local Draft Board
has been compiled and shows some
very interesting facts. From the
county two hundred and fifty-six men
inducted into the service and accept
ed for full military service and only
twenty-six men were rejected for
reached the various training camps.
This is a surprisingly small number
and speaks in excellent terms of the
efficiency, care and ability of the ply
sicians of the county who conducted
the physical examinations of the
boys.
The above figures did not include
the volunteers of the limited serv-
ice men, neither does it include the
many men from the county who are
serving in the navy.
The work of the board started
soon after the declaration of war
and it has just completed it's work
Sheriff Zahl was the chairman of the
board and was appointed by the
president June %, 1917. Auditor
Wollthan was secretary and Miss
Minnie Zahl has been the very able
assistant all thru. Other members of
the board were Dr. Caine, DR.. White
more, DR.. Leuty and DR.. Geenty.
All of the physicians of the county
have assisted materially with the
work of the physical examinations
a work which could not have been
adequately accomplished without
their cooperation.
All inspection of the work of the
board was made by federal in
spector several weeks ago and the re-
port of this inspection showed that
the work had been done in a splen-
did way and that justice had been
meted out to each man who came
under it's jurisdiction.

FORMER SHERIFF DIES
AT HOME In OREGON
G. P. Maginnis Passes Awav After
Two Years Of Failing Health
Due to Cancer

News was received here Monday
by Peter Gaffney of the death of G..
P. Maginnis on Sunday night at his
home in Portland, Oregon. Death
was due to cancer, which began to
affect his health some two or more
years ago. A year ago last June.
Mr.. Maginnis went to Rochester, but
was there advised that the cancer
was so placed in his back that It
would be impossible to operate. 9th
er methods were tried, but without
avail, and for some months past, Mr..
Maginnis has known of the approach
ing end.
c. P. Maginnis, who was about 70
years Of age, was born in Liverpool.
England, and came to this country
as a small boy with his parents, who
settled in Goodhue county. There
he grew to manhood, and in Decem-
ber, 1869, was married to Bridget
this city. He came to Morris first in
1876, and moved here in 1877, and
settled on the farm at the south end
of Wintermute Lake, now owned by
Mr.. Jones. In 1880 he was elected
sheriff and served four years, being
succeeded by Geo. H. Munro. For q
number of years he engaged in the
grain and machinery business, and in
1898, he was appointed by President
Cleveland as receiver of the land
Office at Duluth, and held that post
for four years. He then engaged in
the land and timber business at
Duluth and gradually became inter-
ested in Oregon timber lands and o.
few years ago moved to Portland. He
is survived by his widow and six Of
his eight children. The surviving
children are Col. T. F. Maginnis.
Capt. John Maginnis and Sgt. Cyril
Maginnis, all in the army, Joe Magin-
mis- of Portland, and two married
daughters in Oregon.
Many of the old settlers remember
Mr.. Maginnis and speak most highly
of him as man and citizen Ever
kind, courteous and considerate, he
made a friend of all who met him,
while his sterling character endeared
him to all as a lifelong friend.
