According to an official message received yesterday by Mr. and Mrs. James S. Sheehan of 421 Main street from Adjutant, General Harris at Washington, D. their son, George W.

Sheehan, died in France Oct. 11 from wounds received in action. Despite the fact that the telegram came from general headquarters, the parents are clinging to the hope that CORP. GEORGE W.

The interval that has elapsed since he. was' said to have succumbed to his wounds is also referred to, and there may be something to this-as a number of TJarentsof soldiers who met their deaths during November were notified weeks ago. Corporal Sheehan was born and reared in this city, receiving his education In the Anaconda schools. Following his graduation from the high school he" entered the employ of the Butte, Anaconda Pacific railway, being employed in the West Anaconda shops. He was possessed of an adventurous nature and formed the idea that the life of an engineman was more to his liking.

He applied for a position as locomotive fireman and was accepted and despite his meager training for the position, made good from, the start. Locomotives that were shunned by' other firemen ori account of th.eir poor steaming o.ualities had no terrors for him, and he was soon one of the most popular men on the system. LMter he resigned to accept other employment; and prior to entering the serv ice was working in Butte, leaving there for Camp Lewis in place of another -man that was supposed to have gone with the contingent that entrained on Sept. 23, 1917.

That he saw much active service after the battle in the Chateau-Thierry sector is evidenced by the way his letter, dated Aug. 28, was censored. He had attempted to describe some, of the battles, but as the greater part of the missive had been obliterated by the censor, his parents could only guess at the news he had endeavored to convey. While his many- friends sincerely hope that he has not been called upon to make the.

supreme sacrifice, they feel assured that if he did face the final test he did not but went to his death fighting to the last for the cause he knewto be just and righteous. He was attached to the first division as! a member of Company G. Eighteenth infantry. Fraternally, he was affiliated with the Sons and Daughters pf Montana Pioneers.

The secretary's report showed the past year to have been a most successful one both financially and on account of the valuable work, accomplished. Last year's roster showed a member- ship of 484 members, which, together with a cash donation of and a balance of $26.79. from the preceding year, gave the treasury a balance of 1515.70. Outside of a small amount expended for miscellaneous accounts and for purchasing supplies and making repairs at the clubhouse, the greater portion of the disbursements, amounting to $323.59, went for propagating purposes, and it can safely be said that the anglers of this community have profited much through the efforts of the club during the year. The club starts the present year with a balance of $204.20 in 'he bank, which, with the membership fees for 3019, means much towrfrjir stocking the adjoining streams during the year.
