Cared For BY Lorentz Post
Poppy Day funds were put to good
use Monday in caring for an ex- serv-
ice man who was found in the local
railroad yards suffering from a sun
who proved to be John Eddington Of
Pittsburgh. Pa, and had served with
the Sixth Division overseas, was,
taken in charge by members of
Lorentz Post No. II American Legion
and was placed in one of the local
hospitalss where he was given food
and medical attention. Yesterday
forenoon the young man was suppos
ed to be almost recovered from the
heat prostration, and asked one of the
attendants at the hospital to be per-
mitted o go out on the lawn and
smoke. He suddenly disappeared.
The police were notified of his dis
appearance and made a search of the
city for him. The unfortunate young
man had been gassed, suffered from
the flu, and contracted pneumonia
while over seas. After returning to
this country he was sent to a sani-
tarium at Hot Springs, Ark, where
he was discharged as cured. Since
that time he had been picking up odd
jobs working his way northward The
police made thorough search of the
city but failed to locate the missing
man. There is much concern among
the American Legion members, for
the young man was in a very weak
condition. Should he be located by
anyone, DR.. ]. A Hielscher,, comman-
der of LorentZ Post American Le-
gion should be notified, so that the
soldier may be looked after.
