Lieut.. Lane to Return.

Sheriff Lane is in receipt of a
letter from his brother, Lieut.. r. l..
Lane, stating that he expects to re-
turn to America about February 10.
Lieut.. Lane has been with the fam
Gus eth division in France and has
participated in some heavy fighting.
He escaped without wounds, although
he was gassed at Chateau-Thierry
and was laid up for 10 days. Lieut..
Lane was one of the first men from
Dillon county to go to France. He
went over in September Of 1917 with
Lieut.. John David. The letter from
Lieut.. Lane was dated January 1st..
and as he stated that he expected to
be home in six weeks it is probable
that he will arrive here about the
middle OF the present month.
