BOYLE, 9-2 County Attorney. EXAMINATIONS COMPLETED Board Will Complete Examination of First 300 Called This Afternoon. The examining board have been busy this week examining those drafted for the first army. Dr. Gilligan has been assisted by Dr. Douglas, of Atkinson, and Dr. Wilson of this city, and the work has been pushed right along. The examining of the first three hundred called will be completed today and then the board will take up the matter of ex emptions on account of dependent relatives. It will take them probably the balance of the week to pass upon these claims. That the young men of Holt county are in splendid health is attested by the fact that the rejections, on account of physical disabilities, will not ex ceed ten per cent. About sixty per cent, of those examined have asked for exemptions on account of having dependents and on account of agri culture. About forty of those called have enlisted in some branch of the service since the registration. Those who em listed since June 30th will not be credited to this county for this army: but we will receive credit for them in the next draft.
