sacrifice. Mrs. T M. Case of La
moni, recently received official
notice from the war department that
her son, Lieut.. Lyman e. Case had
been reported missing in action
since August 14th. Lieut.. Case was
student at the State University at
Iowa City, and was sent to .the
officers training school at Fort
Smelling in May. 1917. While at
the school he volunteered for avia-
ton service and was sent to Toron-
to. Canada, in July. and from there
commenced flying last November.
He sailed for England January
31st, and later to Scotland, where
he flew every day for a number of
weeks. and then went to France for
active service, being one of the
American aviators assigned to the
Royal Flying Corps. Lieut.. Case
was a general favorite, being grad
uate Of the Lamont High School, and
his friends are hoping that he may
have escaped with his life, even If
he is a prisoner in some German

fine if he would just let him 60,
claiming he did not want his moth

to Leon, stored the booze until an
order is received to destroy IT. and
Judge Fuller hapened to come in

court. The fellow gave his name
as A. r. Smith, and he sure was an
artist in putting up crying talk
about itEbeing his first offense, but
wanted to go into court at once and
plead guilty, so Judge Fuller con-

Pr0misCuous Manner.

Garden Grove was the scene of a
couple Of cutting and shooting
scrapes last Wednesday afternoon
which created con considerably .e9edt excite. E.
started Wednesday forenoon when
Pearl Richards, who works for the
telephone company went to the
home of a colored woman, Mrs.
Will White to collect a telephone
bill. Mrs. White resented his at
tempt to collect the bill and they
had words and little scuffliing, put put
Mrs, White came up town and visit
ed the shoe shop Of John Eph Bat
tie, colored man, and while she
was in the shop Richards passed
along the street. She secured a
shoe knife in the shop and started
out. after Richards, who ,endeavored
to keep away from her but she at,
tackled him and when he defended
himself Battle came out of his shop
and went to her assistance, and be-
fore bystanders could interfere she
had used the knife cutting Richards
on the hand and back. The woman
and Battle were both arrested and
and later in the day We're brought
to Leon and placed in the county
jail.

tor, white man met Frank Jones,
a colored gambler of Garden Grove
in garage and after a few words
Castor drew revolver and shot at
Jones, who started running, going
across the street. and dove through
the screen door without stopping to
open it, and on through the store
with Castor after him, and some
more shots were fired by Castor, one
of them striking Jones in the leg
and inflicting a flesh wound. Jones
ran north and hid in a barn, where
he was found-later and brought to
Leon and placed in jail. It is
claimed Jones had written obscene
letters to white lady of Garden
Grove and this was the cause of Cas-
tor going cunning for him. Castor
was arrested. waived preliminary
examination and was bound over

fore the grand jury, which he
promptly gave, and could have
given a bond for million.

fault of $1,000 bonds.

authorities, being charged with send
ing obscene matter through the
mails.
