ly modelled of selected feathers, and
stocks are so large that a perfectly
comfortable fit is assured everyone.

Jefferson Constable
Injured by Fan

Sheriff Needham was notified short
ly afternoon today that Constable
Jones of Jefferson had fallen in get
ting out Of an auto at Turner this morn
ing and had suffered a fracture of the
skull. Some time this morning a war
rant was issued in Jefferson for the
arrest of several boys who had passed
through the town in an auto, and this
was given to the constable to serve.
The constable wired the sheriff to head
the boys off and the sheriff wired the
constable at Turner to watch out for
them and get them if they reached
that place. This the Turner constable
did and phoned Jones to come and get
them. As Jones reached the constable s
place in Turner he stepped from the
auto before it had fully stopped and
was thrown heavily, sustaining, it is
reported, fracture of the skull.
The boys were taken back to Jeffer-
son by Constable Miles of Turner, and
word was sent that the injured man
was being brought to one of the hos
pitfalls here. Inquiry at these just be-
fore press time failed to locate him
at any of them. What the nature of
the offense for which the boys were ar
rested could not be learned.

Two more Company NJ allotments
were received today, according to in
formation received at the Home Ser
vice section of the Red Coss. This in
dicates that the allotments which have
all been held up, are due to arrive
within few days.
For some reason, all records of the
allotments of Company M were either
lost or mislaid and the wives of SOL
diers in the company have not been re-
eeiving their allotments. The matter
was taken up by the Home Service see
tion of the Red Cross and through the
Red Cross Washington officials, cable
grams were sent to the officers of Com
pany NJ asking that the allotments be
made over again.
