PRIV. RANDALL
OVER SEAS.
One of The Four out of $50
Men to Win Merits in Tar
get Shooting-Says Soldiers
Need a Smile more Than
Luxuries.

Louisville, KY, July ESPECIAL
to The Breckenridge News)-James
Dwight Randall, one of Cloverport's
boys who was born and practically
reared in that city was selected for
the military service of our country,
ard when called for service he was
placed in the regular army instead
of the National service. Since enter
ing service Priv. Randall has won
merits and placed in positions by his
excellent shooting at target practice,
his average being thirty-eight out of
every fifty possibilities. There were
only four men out of two hundred
and fifty in the infantry who won this
score. This placed Cloverport boy,
Dwight Randall, as first man in first
line, in first squad of his Company.
On account of this average he was
one of the four equipped to handle
one of the new Browning Automatic
rifles which is fired, from the hip in
stad of the shoulder. He also carries
an automatic pistol which with his
rifle gives him fifty seven success
i've shots. His belt is extremely wide
and is made of a webbing of steel
links, supposed to be bayonet proof.
This-belt contains $50 rounds of am
munition. In addition to this, bay
onet in scabbard, trench knife, gas
mask and steel helmet are his trench
ornaments. His pack consists of
blanket, canteen, mess kit, emergency
box for wounds and an emergency
box of sufficient rations to sustain
life for forty-eight hours.
Priv. Randall says "a soldier does
not need luxuries as much as he
needs letters of encouragement; and
when they are called to receive their
mail, each one is anxious to hear his
name called next and when he does
not receive mail he certainly has a
down hearted and disappointed look.
Such boys are in no frame of mind
and heart to be soldier" Priv.
Randall also added that his letters
from home gave him buoyancy to
"cross over" He told of amessage
of boy friend who wrote, so long,
Dwight, the Yanks are waiting for
you, whoop 'em up! Another mes
sage from w. r. Hensley, who is
we'll known in Cloverport said good
bye, safe journey, speedy return and
bring me the Kaiser's mustache."

merits of his company.

8 CONSTANT EXPRESSIONS
IN SOLDIERS LETTERS

The Censor, through whose hands
passed thousands of letters home,
says that there are three expressions
almost constantly occurring and have
become well nigh universal in these
letters. -
81 love you"
Don't worry"
pray for me-"
These messages are common to
the man, whether he comes from the
Riverside residence or the prairie
cabin. the East Side or the University
hall, from the sons of foreigners or
the blue bloods of New England, out
Of human heart to mother or father.

tunnel and the hysterical survivors
were unable to give a coherent &C.
count of their experiences. Many of
them insisted that second train had
ploughed into the rear of the one
which had carried them and this was
the theory of District Attorney Lewis
until he had carefully sifted the evil
dence at his command. He finally de-
termined, however, that only one
train was involved.
Mr.. Lewis and the police asserted
that the train was running fully forty
miles an hour when it took the curve
and plunged into the concrete side
wall of the tunnel. 1t was difficult
for them to believe at first, they said,
that there could have been such
heavy loss of life unless two trains
had been involved. The tunnel was
completed only recently and it was
declared that only a motorman fa-
miliar with the line could have nego-
tiated the curve safely even at mod
crate speed.
When the first car jumped the
track it side-swiped the west wall
and ran along the ties for nearly one
hundred feet The cars behind it
crashed through it and then buckled
against the roof and fell.

the assertion of Mr.. Lewis. "The
accident appears to have been the re-
suit of a green motorman running
his train at an excessive rate of speed.
The police now are searching for this
man"
Mr. Lewis said warrants would be
issued for the arrest of all officials
of the corporation who could be held
responsible for the disaster. An in
vestigation of the wreck was in prog
ress late tonight at the offices of the
public service committee. The Brook
lyn Rapid Transit Company had made
no statement concerning the wreck
and four hours after is occurred ignor-
ance was professed of exactly what
had happened.
The wrecked train was packed to
the gates with home-going men, wo.
men and children. Service on the
company's lines was materially re.
duced because of the strike and every
train which left the Brooklyn Bridge
was literally jammed by the thou
sands of delayed residents Of Brook
lyn who also fought to get aboard.
Details Not Known
Hours after the accident it was diff

and sold them to the ignorant, and as
they saw their profits menaced, they
raised a loud cry, "Great is Diana of
the Ephesians," thinking to hold the
people to the worship of their false
gods. There will be similar clamor
after war for the return of the old
gods of private exploitation. But have
we not learned our lesson? Before the
war what was the basic reason under
lying our supply of food, clothing and
shelter, the prime necessaries of life?
Simply that some individual found a
profit in producing it and other indi-
viduals found a profit in distributing
and transporting and delivering it to
the ultimate consumer. When we went
to war it was soon made plain that
this was not sufficient incentive to
produce the abundant supply which
we needed for ourselves and our al
lies. There was not enough profit in
getting out coal to attract capital and
we went short of coal Not enough
profit in transportation, SO we went
short of transportation. Not enough
profit in sugar and ships, so we went
short of sugar and ships Labor went
jumping about from one job to an
other, being lured by the promise of
higher wages here and there. Chaos.
chaos everywhere and not a drop to
drink Obviously there was one thing
and one thing only to do, and that was
to lay the heavy hand of the people
through the administration of their
government, upon the individual and
in one way and another compel him
to put himself at the disposal of the
common good in order that the war,
to which the entire strength of the
nation was pledged, should be fought
to a successful issue
Let him beware who is bold enough
in bad cause to demand a retuyn to
individual greed and selfishness and
re-establish that principle as the
prime motive for our supply of food,
clothing and shelter We have learned
a better way and the new idea of CO.
operation is born, to grow into a lusty
giant. The kaiser was the apotheosis
of the old order, the United States
should be the avatar of the new.

A PRAYER FOR THE BOYS "ovER THERE"

God of mercy from Heaven look down,
Upon boys in khaki gowned;
Guide and protect lest they follow the Rhine
Made so treacherous by Germany's line
Our Father and God of all,
Keep the boys that have been called
Guide and protect them wherever they stand,
Be their Good Shepherd in No Mans Land
Be with the boys who are falling in France
In this great struggle freedom to advance;
Help them dear Lord, to look to Thee,
Their greatest Commander and General be-
Our dear brave boys in the trenches overseas
Are dying from wounds and various disease,
Caused by the Kaiser's hate and greed
To conquer this world Germanys need
Johnson and Roberts, heroes from the black fold
Quentin Roosevelt of the aviation roll
And many others too numerous to name
By deeds of bravery have much fame
Dismond and Ransome, Colonel Denison's sons,
Proved themselves heroes in the fight with Huns
Stalwart and fearless though pressed by the foe
Defended the front on the Western shore
We pray for the men in khaki clad,
That Thou wilt cheer and make them glad;
By giving them victory on every line
And finally let them cross the Rhine.
Be the Chief Dispatcher every road,
Superintendent of all forces abroad
Field Marshal and Manager too.
All this dear Lord ask of you.
Then let Thy Sweet Spirit be their Guest,
In every trench and place of rest;
Abide with them and be their friend
Linger near till the battle shall end.
Amen.

playing with a bow and arrow and
that one of the arrows had lodged
in tree across the street. In run
ming to recover the arrow. Coyne
darted directly in front of DR.. Lach-
ner's car and was run over. It was
brought out at the inquest that DR..

five miles an hour when he ran
over the boy and that he succeeded
in stopping the machine within its
length after he had felt the front
and rear wheels OF his car pass

the stranger called to Harold a.
Taylor of Moline that q man lay

lance. In the confusion the man
who hailed the lieutenant was not
to be found. Dudley died on the
way to the hospital.
An autopsy conducted over the
remains Sunday morning at the
Barnard funeral home revealed that
Wealth probably was due to crush
ing of the front of the hips and
groin, caused by severe blow,
presumably from a passing train.
Contrary to first reports, his legs
were not severed. Aside from the
bullet wound in the scalp the body
YVES practically unmarked.
Whether a freight or passenger
train Of the Burlington or Rock Is
land lines struck Dudley is not
known. 1t is thought that the MUIR
Gerer, wandering close to the rails,
was hit by a passing Rock Island
freight, westbound. No report OF
the accident has been made at head
quarters of either the Rock Island
or Burlington lines, and in all prob
ability the stricken man was not
seen by the crew of the train which
ran him down. Several freights.

bound, on the Rock Island passed
through Moline Just preceding the
finding of Dudley, while Burlington
passenger train No. 80, westbound.
left the Moline station about 1880.
It could not be learned where
Dudley secured the revolver with
which he did the shooting. Neigh
bors and friends declare that they
had not known him to own pistol,
and it is thought that he purchased
the weapon Friday night prem edi-
taung his deed
Dudley and his wife were each
about 80 years OF age and had been
married since Dec. 10, 1917. It IS
alleged that two years prior to that
time the couple had resided toseth-
er as man and wife. Mrs. Dudley
is a daughter of Mrs. Margaret Muir
ray of Peoria, the family residing in
that city.
Inquests To-day!
According to Coroner John G.
Miller, an inquest Will be held over
the body Of Mrs. Dudley at the
Wheelan parlors tonight. Inquest
over Joseph Dudley probably viii

Mrs. Dudley is survived by her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. George w.
