"Dead Hero Coming Home".--Friends here have received notice to the effect that the body of Lawrence Edwin Jobe will arrive at Hoboken from over sea on July 15. Lawrence was the second son of Mr. and Mrs. E.A. Jobe, former residents of this city, now of Crook, Colorado. He enlisted early in the war with Company E of the 168th Infantry, a regiment of the famous Rainbow division, at Shenandoah and went oversea with that organization. Late in July 1918, found his regiment at Chateau Thierry facing the German hords who were determined on the capture of Paris. Near the little village of Fere-en-Tardenois, during this historical fight, Lawrence gave up his life. He was picked up by stretcher bearers and carried to the first aid station with the life blood flowing from five machine guns wounds in the abdomen. He died before the stretcher men could get him to the first aid station. He will be brought to Sidney for burial and if suitable arrangements can be made the body will be given burial with military honors. This is the second occasion in Sidney and will, according to the best of our knowledge, be the last. Let us all turn out to honor our hero dead. Further arrangements will be announced later. There will be a meeting of ex-serivce men at the Masonic Hall tomorrow evening to make arragnements for the military funeral. Everybody out.
