LOWELL BOYS PROMOTED
Six Local CMTC Members Receive Warrants on Promotion to Sergeants |
Among those to receive warrants on July 19 from Col. Lucius C.
Bennett, camp commander of Fort McKinley
CMTC¹
on the event of their
promotion to the position of sergeant were six Lowell boys: Peter
McQuillan of 162 Avon street, who is a member of Company A; Frank S.
Fay of 71 London street, who is a member of Company I; David J.
McLellan, Company C. of 29 Perrin street; Alcide C. Boucher, Company
L of 61 Fifth avenue; John D. Gralton, Company M, of 212 Mt. Hope
street, and Robert Marks, Company L.
The warrant issued is somewhat similar to that issued to a regular
army non-commissioned officer, duly signed by Colonel Bennett, and
sealed with the camp seal. It is a memento that is treasured in
after years, as an evidence of outstanding ability in competition
with other boys from many communities. |

Albert Loranger of 95 Gerrish avenue was fined $100 for driving while
under the influence of liquor by Judge Frederic A. Fisher in district
court today. He was also fined $5 for drunkeness.
Officer Bernard J. Gilbo testified that he had arrested the defendant
on the night of July 4 near the railroad station in Middlesex

liquor, and that at the time Loranger was unable to give his name.
Officers William P. Doherty and Michael J. Connors gave corroborative
testimony, testifying that the defendant staggered when being taken
to the patrol wagon.
Under examination by his counsel, Attorney James J. Bruin, Loranger
stated that he had been shell-shocked in the war, and that at the time
of his arrest he was extremely nervous.
