VANDYCKE BACK
WITH LEG GONE
Henry County Soldier Who Lost Leg
In Verdun Fight 10 Back
Home.

A distinguished soldier from Hem
ry county who returned this week
is Private Harry Vandycke, son of
Jim Vandycke of Clifty.
Private Vandycke left an Allan
tic port with the 18th Infantry of
the Fifth Division April year ago,
landing in France in early May. He
was in some of the very hardest
fighting of the war, and in the big
drive at Verdun when the Huns were
driven across the Meuse River, young
Vandycke, who is 25 years old, was
shot in the left leg by an explosive
bullet, which necessitated amputat-
ing his left leg near the hip joint.
Vandycke was in France until last
February when he was sent home,
and remained for sometime in the
hospital at Newport News, where his
leg healed and he was fitted with an
artificial limb. To see Private
Vandycke standing the artificial limb
is not noticeable, but he says that
he is to get still better fit as soon
as the special limbs ordered by the
government are received.
In the meantime Vandycke is re.
naming here at home, and his many
friends and newly-made admirers
are congratulating him on getting
out of the big fight alive.

tory of American Methodism and the
response already said to be mag
nificent.
The funds raised will be rscd TO
extend the helping hand to suffering
Europe as we'll as the filthy, pagan
tribes in Africa, Korea, Japan and in

Two NEGROES in
JAIL DELIVERY
Saw Bars During Night, And When
Sheriff Feeds Them They
Climb Through.

Two negroes, prisoners at the
county Jail, sawed the cell bars last
Tuesday at noon, and made a get
away when sheriff Hagler had left
the corridor with the main door OPP
en- to go after some salt for their
lunch.
The negroes are Dave Morris and
Hezzie Dumas. Sheriff Hagler fail
ed to get back with the salt in time
to put it on them, and as result
failed to make the catch. These are
two of he negroes charged with bur-
glarizing Virgins Jewelry Store re-
Gently, and were only apprehended
couple of weeks ago.
1t seems Sheriff Hagler. entering
the big corridro through the main
door, was issuing the dinner plates
to the prisoners through the cell win
dows. Hezzie Dumas, who was in
the cell with Morris, politely reques-
ted the sheriff to return to the kitch-
en- and bring him some salt, which
the obliging sheriff proceeded to do.
Durng the night previous, however,
the prisoners had sawed out the bars
of the cell where they could not be
detected, and when the sheriff went
out, the prisoners climbed through
the sawed-out bars and got away.
Later in the day they were located
by a posse and Deputy Butler got
close enough to them in the vicinity
of the Maplewood cemetery to take
shot at them, but the negroes final
ly eluded the posse and are still at
large.
