because he was so efficient with horses
and we believe attained a sergeancy.
He insisted that. he joined the army to
fight and persisted in his demand that
he be sent to France. At last his re-
quest was granted and he was sent
across with one of the contingents and
assigned to the 101st Infantry. He was
in the fight but a short time when he
received his death wound.
Vincent Doody evidently enjoys soli

of year and a half he has been living

that appeared in last Sundays issue of
the P-I, was that of Alvin H. Smith, of
LOOMS, member Of G, Co., 101st In
fantry, who died of wounds July 49,
1918. Young Smith was a son of Hor-

who was murdered near that camp a
number of years ago, and was born in

ing crowd is rather odd on the part
of Mr.. Doody, as he spent quite
number of years in Oroville and other
towns where life was even more active
than in this place. In olden days he
was an expert mixer of liquid ingred-
tents stored with both Joy and trouble.
When the state went dry Vincent went
into retirement and remained there.
He has been in poor health for the
past year, and probably if he had not
been compelled to come to Oroville to
enter the hospital with threatened
attack of pneumonia he would not
have seen Oroville again until it had
grown entirely out of his memory.
Doody escaped pneumonia. but he is
