gret to Inform you that Private
I James H. Boggs, Infantry, I official
ly reporiea a aiuea in action JUiy

The shock of the loaa of so spin
did an example of young manhood as
Howard Boggs was known to be, will
, be keenly felt la tbl dlttrlct. where
ho had spent nearly all of his life
, and where he waa well and favorably
known. It la an example, however,
of what Is being felt In every other
community In the land today, and
what baa been felt to n far greater
degree In France, Oreat Britain and
Italy for the last fonr years, and
which brings home forcibly the ter
rible sacrifices which are being made
for the future liberties) of mankind.
Howard Boggs, aa he waa known
to nearly all his friends, spent most
of his boyhood daya at Lorella, 40
miles southeast of this city. He at
tended the grade schools there, grad
uating with the class of 1910. Ho
thon spent two years at the Univer
sity of Nebraska, where he won hon
ors on the athletic field. He then
returned and engaged la the stock
business with his fither and brother.
He left for the front with the effec
tive draft contingent laat October.
He waa keenly anxious to go and hla
letter home all expressed the fear
that the war would bo over before
he got a chance to get Into the
trenches. He was a member of Com
pany A of the 18th Regiment and in
tba Sunset Division. He had been
transferred to the famoua Rainbow
Division June 19th. Ho'leives, be
