of the national army men recently sent

centage than ever before, and alternates
from classes one and two must be sent

Local men said today the men reject
ed should have been accepted under the
modified requirements issued by the

Some of the causes for rejection re-
peated by returned men were one-six.

Of one ear drum and slightly under

State Lime Board
Will Contract Debts

The state lime board, under the
provisions of section 10 Of the act
creating the board, has authority to
go into debt for the purpose of com
pleting the state lime pant at Gold
Hill without becoming liable under the
provisions of the emergency board
law, which makes it criminal Of
Tense for satte officials or boards to
incur liability against the state with
out authority from the emergency
board.
This is according to an opinion given
by Attorney General Brown to Charles
A. Murphy, warden Of the penitentiary
and secretary of the lime board
The attorney general points out that
section 10 of the lime board law pro-
vides that all moneys derived from the
sale of products disposed of under the
provisions Of the act shall constitute a
standing appropriation which may be
used by the lime board.
So the board has authority to 20 in
to debt to complete the lime plant and
then pay off the obligation with the
proceeds from the sale Of lime.

Human Brute at
Large In SlvertOn

Led away Wednesday afternoon by a
strange man upon the promise that he
would give her some rabbits was the ex-
perience Of Rebecca, the little seven
year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Thos.
Lacey who live on Mill street. The child
was at play upon the street when ac-
costed by the man. He induced her to
go with him to the shed back of the
Henry DeGuire place on Water street,
for the basest reasons. The
man did not stay long with the child
but soon came out and was seen going
down the street on the run. Several
people saw man running away from
the building but he was so far from
them that they were unable to give a
good description Of him. The child left
the shed crying, but was uninjured. Mrs.
j. d. Drake found the child and took
her home.
The description Of the man drawn
from the child by the police was that
he was short, wore old shoes and had a
bearded face. With this meagre descrip-
tion the police have been searching for
a man answering it, but have been un-
able to find one this far.-Silverton
