Am enjoying the best of health. I have not written a letter in so long I know you are worrying about me.

They sent over heavy shell fire but didn't hurt any of us. Shells bursted all around me. While we were seeking shelter from their shells in the basement of a building, shells came through the roof. When we were sent out as a working part to do some work that had to be done, shells bursted so close to me they threw dirt all over me. They were close enough for me. One night we were sent over to the German trenches. We must have gone down the trench for 100 yards before we saw a German. They discovered us and threw hand grenades. One struck the top of the trench right by me and I was covered with dirt. We all were lucky in getting back." Albert is with he 350 infantry. - Albert is buried at Ennis Cemetery. Headstone

Mr. Newman admits that he forged the note in question. He wrote a check on the Monett National Bank for three dollars in favor of H. A. James and signed the name of H. S. Horine. He took the check to J. G. Medlin's grocery store where he traded it for the value in groceries. When the check was presented at the bank, they refused to accept it saying the signature was not that of Mr. Horine. Investigation showed that Newman had presented the check and endorsed it as H. A. James so the arrest was made. At the hearing before Justice E. A. O'Dwyer, Wednesday, Newman confessed his guilt, waived preliminary examination and was bound over to the November term of Circuit court. Being unable to furnish bond, Sheriff Brixey took him to the county jail, Thursday. Newman said the reason he forged the check was because his family was hungry and needed supplies. He has a wife and several children and they are in poor circumstances.
