2 UST 13, 1918 TUESDAY, AUGUST 13, HOME GUARDS — MUST OBTAIN DRILL LEAVE Absence without Cause to Subject Recruits to Reprimand; Next Drills on Wednesday and Friday Last evening the Home Guards went thru the drills which they have been learning for the past few weeks and also practiced some new move- ments. The men are learning rapidly, but the number of absentees is increas- ing, and Captain Lanning has given notice that no further absence with- out leave will be tolerated. Where a good reason can be shown | that the recruit is actually needed at some work or other valid excuse is offered, the matter of the recruit’s absence will be readily allowed, but the company officials have decided to put a stop to the promiscuous ab- sences that have occurred of late on drill nights. The time of the muster to be held next Monday has ‘been changed to 7 o’clock.in the evening, instead of 10 o’clock, in the morning, as this hour would suit both the officers from Cheyenne and the men of the company better than the earlier hour. The next drill will be held Wed- nesday evening, and then Friday evening will be the lastone before muster. With only two more drills between now and muster, it is im- perative that all those who possibly can be present at the Athletic field for the evening’s instruction. POSPEL MEETINGS WILL CONTINUE DURING WEEK The Gospel meetings being held in the tent at the cornergof Park and Center streets are to continue this week, the following subjects being scheduled for discussion during the next four days: Tuesday—‘‘The Ministry of Good Angels, or Do You Have a Guardian Angel?” Wednesday—‘‘Heavenly Sanctuary and the Earthly Tabernacle.” Thursday—‘Is Jesus Christ Is- rael's Messiah?” Friday—“The Judgment.” Meetings begin each evening at 8:15 prompt and a cordial invitation is extended to the public to attend. A good attendance is reported for the past week. MRS. W. B. D. GRAY SUCCEEDS MRS. MORTON AS CHAIRMAN | Mrs. W. B. D. Gray, of Cheyenne, has accepted the appointment of Act- ing Chairman of the Woman’s Com- mittee of the Wyoming State Council of Defense to succeed Mrs. R. A. Morton, resigned, who, sinée the creation of the office, has acted in that capacity. Mrs, Gray is well and favorably-known over the state and will no doubt maintain the same high standard of work as her predecessor. we “WHERE THERE’S A WILL—” [By United Press.] LONDON, Aug. 13.—“Braich yn dagrau,”’ wrote an ingenious Tommy at the head of a letter to his mother, and the censor, believing this to be a Welsh motto, passed it.

Young Reid is a member of the 17th Co., 5th |Regiment U. S. Marines. Reed is justifiably proud of his decoration, which is bestowed only for excep- tional bravery in action. In a recent letter to his parents Reid says: “I have been a pretty sick soldier {for a week or so. The doctors said it was influenza and trench fever. Anyway it sure was fierce, but at that it was better than getting shot to pieces by the Huns. It takes about six of those Hune and sometimes more to whip a marine. When we first ran into them they thot, a pris- oner told us, we were Algerians and then English. They never, once thought of Ameriecansj but he said that when they would counter attack us and we would not drop back they knew we were not English. ~ Before we finished the majority of them knew what we were. “The way I earned my war cross was: The French started their attack babout 6 a. m. and drove the Heinie |back quite a way. Heinie was rein- forced and brought Frenchie back. We were in reserve, The French wanted us*to hold Heinie back until they could dig themselves: in. The marine lieutenant took all of us in a little piece of woods in front of the French. You ought to have seen the ‘Frogs’ dig in; a badger didn’t have a thing on them. We could see Heinte coming about 600 yards away. He sure made a fine target. From his belt on up was above the wheat and “every time our Springfields seackoye one would fall. They kept jon coming until about 300 yards from us. Their lines were getting thin. I spotted a few Heinies assem- jbling a machine gun and our lieu- tenant said, ‘Let’s go and get ’em.’ We charged and came back with three machine guns and 23 prisoners; lost three of our own men, tho. “Tuesday morning the French colonel lined us up and presented crosses. He shook hands with us and gave us a long talk. I couldn’t under- {stand much, as he spoke French. I am sure proud of my Croix de Guerre. pee “This is the first real rest I have had since I landed in this country, but, believe me, I am getting some rest now.

I suppose you have heard of this famous Vichy water. |Say, it is awful tasting dope, both hot and cold. As I am getting tired, I guess I will close, hoping to hear from you soon.

The object of this commit- tee is_to keep a complete record of the men of Wyoming enrolled in the service and their achievements in the present world war. This is a matter of great importance —the brave deeds and noble sacrifices of our boys must not be forgotten.

He dis- armed her and took the gun to Buf- falo to surrender it to the sheriff. "Before leaving for Buffalo he told his nine-year-old son to stand guard over his sisters and baby brother and to shoot if the Mooneys returned and attempted to molest them, —” | Mr.s Mooney, her'son Archie, and ja hired man came to the John Mooney ranch while the father was on his way to surrender the gun he is said to have taken from the vornan. proach the house.

The nine-year-old boy opened fire discharging three shots, one of whicl scratched the boy’s arm, the other entering his abdomen, and the third missing him. Mrs. Mooney then approached the youngster. He shot and mortally wounded her. She died in ten min utes. The hired man was next to ap- proach the house. The boy shot at him and the hired man fled. ——$—$—$< $$$ An order received by us before 9:00 a.m. we will deliver anywhere in the city before noon, orders received ter that until 3:00 p. m. we will liver anywhere in the city that p. m., but only one delivery a day to any one family.

Upon the death of |her father the family moved to Lon- don where, for two years prior to going on the stage, Anna was a street singer. When 16 years old, Miss Held returned to Paris after touring Holland and other countries with a $$ en, Murray, members of the entertain- ment committee, were hostesses and! accompanied the bo: PAGE THREE. comedy company and after that ap- peared in all the European capitals, winning renown by reason of her beauty and the daring magnificence of her gowns. When she came to New York in 1896, the American publie’s desire to see and hear the chic Parisian had whetted by stories of her beauty, of the perfection of her com- plexion, which she was reported as sustaining by means of daily milk baths, and the charm of a French concert hall song, “Wont You Come and Play Wiz Me.” For more than 10 years Miss Held was in a musical comedy on the been | American stage nearly every year, appearing part of that time as one of the stars in plays produced by Florenz Ziegfeld Jr. Miss Held sub- sequently was married to Mr. Zieg- feld but after several years they sep- arated. A daughter, Liane Held, now 23 years old, born of a previous marriage, is now on the stage. She had repeatedly told interview- ers that she would “never grow old” and fulfilled her prediction almost to the end. Friends say she had a won- derful spirit, and. indomitable cour- age. Told by the doctors that she must die, she is said to have gayly ternarked to one of them: “It is the last curtain.
