Ellery Phillips, of this place, received the sad news yesterday, that his nephew, Emery Kafader, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Kafader, of Bidwell, had passed away at Selma, Cal., last Monday night. Emery suffered a serious attack of pneumonia about a year ago, while at a training camp in Oklahoma, and he never recovered. Emery was a graduate of the Surprise Valley Union High School and was a bright young man and highly esteemed by all who knew him. The Record extends deepest sympathy to the bereaved ones in hour of sorrow. WOUNDED IN BATTLE News was received here last week that Glenn Ward of this valley, had been seriously wounded while fighting in France on the 28th of September. It was said that his leg had been broken by shrapnel. Mrs. A. J.
