About 20 members of the high school civics class attended the meeting this afternoon of Sheridan’s city council.

Owen A. Teague, who left Sheridan on Sept. 18 for Colorado College with the draft contingent from this county, is ill with Spanish influenza, according to reports received by relatives here.

The local board has received a call for the entrainment of 20 Sheridan registrants during the five-day period beginning Oct. 21. They will entrain for Fort McArthur, Texas.

A committee has been named by the local Red Cross organization to have charge of the collection of nut shells and fruit pits for use in gas masks to protect the doughboys in Europe.
