Interesting to His Mother, Mrs. J. J.
Fitzgerald, 2512 AIdrich Ave. S.,
Tells Of Hardships Of
the Trenches.

To Mrs. j. J. Fitzgerald, 2512 Aldrich
Ave. S.:
My Dear Mother:-
Well, Mother, here am again, we'll
and o. K; also Ray and St. John.
I just got out of the trenches yester-
day, after nine days of hard and hot
fighting.
I was surprised and happy yester-
day when got those big letters from
you and also one from Aunt Ellen
and some from Viola. Some of the
boys got their letters while on the
line. I didn't get any then, but was
just as happy to think I got back and
was able to get them here.
I sure was an awful looking sight
when I came in yesterday. Il. hadn't
had shave or wash for 10 days and
my clothes were full of dirt and mud.
I have been in two drives the last four
or five weeks. In these drives I have
been in the Intelligence Department
as an observer. It.is very interesting
and I like it very much.
We had it little difficult in estab.
fishing our post at times, for the Huns
would spot us. Once We had it in a
shell hole and one of the observers
with me got out of the hole for a
minute and was hit with big piece
of shrapnel through the lung. He was
a very good friend of mine. No SOON
er had that happened and shipper
spied us and started shooting machine
gun bullets all around us. We went
out and got him, but he got hit again
with a bullet.
Another exciting incident happened,
which was close call, when shell
fell about four feet from me. It hit
the lad I was with, and knocked me
about four feet in the air, but didn't
touch me.
So Dad wants me to send him a
Dutch helmet, plenty of them lying
around the battlefields, but it is too
hard to be carrying around with me
until l could get chance to send it
home. Ask him If he would like q
Dutchman's ear or nose.
I have a belt buckle which am 60
ing to send him some time. It says on
it, "Gott Nit Uns."
Well, don't know of any news to
write. I hope that package gets here
O. K. Another thing I want to let
you know that $4,000 you sent never
did get 1t. also can't draw any. pay
over here because they lost my record
book when was in the hospital, 80
don't know when I will get any pay.
II you ever send any more money to
me, don't send it through a bank.
Take chance and send the cash.
Remember me to the Flanerys and
Mrs. Martineau and tell her that Earl
Is fine. I saw him yesterday.
With lots of love to all,
Your loving son,

MET WITH HARD LUCK

Don I. Steele is at Topeka where
he has accepted a position as sales
man for large firm. During his
stay in this city with the Wa-Keeney
Clothing Company he has made many
friends who wish him success where
ever he goes.-Reporter.
A negro woman, an alley, Garfeld's
ightless night and a lonely Y. M. C.
A. dovetailed together Sunday night
to give d. c. Steele, of Wa-Keeney,
the great experience of his young
life. Steele is a clothing clerk in the
Trego county town and came to To-
peka a few days ago to visit Clyde
Gibson, who works in the law depart
ment of the Santa Fe. Gibson rooms
at 1921 Harrison street.
Gibson had date with girl Sun
the same predicament any young man
is in Topeka on Sunday night. He
was all dressed up with nowhere to
go.
Steele wondered into the Central
Y. M. c., found the conversation there
not sufficiently entertaining to satisfy
him and left about 9 o'clock for a
jaunt over the city. He wendell his
way east to Monroe street turning
south.
AS he approached an alley between
Ninth and Tenth street he suddenly
heard the rustic of skirts coming from
behind a tree near the alley A. blow
was delivered on the back of his head,
he told the police. Steele staggered
few steps and fell in the alley uncon-
scious.
In a few minutes, he says, he recov-
cred consciousness to find a negro
| woman bending over him with one of
her hands in his hip pockets while
another held a revolver.
"She swore at me and told me to
keep my mouth shut" said Steele.
She took two SIS bills from Steele
and left. He says he got up and
staggered back onto the street, sitting
down on a curb stone. The negro wo-
man came up again, brandished the
revolver and second time, according to
his story and orde-eI him to move
on He followed rs uctions to the
letter, staggered 20 Kansas avenue,
he says, where he found a policeman.

occurred on Saturday night when Geo.

discovered until Sunday morning when
Lester Worcester's jitney was miss
ing. The sheriff easily followed the
trail left in the snow and the car was
found in the creek east of the Cooper
home southwest of town. When Ford
met Ford then came a tug of war. At
Alva Reasoners he helped himself to
car but his joy ride ended in a snow
bank near the county line. An open
corral gate further on shows that the
third car would have been taken but
for its '1crankiness." At Voda he took
a east bound train. Though we hope
Sheriff Ray will not be an ex-Ray for

his man on Monday. Knox's case is a
sad one. A boy from an excellent
family, himself held in good esteem,
he was some how influenced to go
wrong The law caught him and to
escape its clutches he has doubled the
offense- The question is, how can he
be put right? What can be done to
make him again a good citizen and
to show him and others that it al
ways pays to be decent.-Hill City
