Boyd County's List Shows Surprises

Extracted from The Butte Gazette, July 26, 1917

Last Friday and Saturday were anxious days for many Boyd County people, and the task of arranging the numbers, checking the contradictory ones, informing registrants and their wives of the standing of their husbands or sons continued the excitement until Tuesday, when the fairly accurate list published herewith was finally arranged so that anxious ones could be posted.

Arthur Ficenec was the first man to be on the Boyd County list. It was not long before the numbers below 824 began to pile up, and on Friday evening the names of 40 were on the list. All who had received last week's paper could compare the list with the numbers drawn and know their chances.

William Horst was the first Butte township man on the list. Paul Weber and Frank Lechtenberg were the only others known on Friday night.

Saturday, four more Butte township men, Guy C. Thatcher, Homer B. Orr, Ivan H. Bright, and Robert L. Wills, landed in the 100 column, being 51, 86, 89, and 100. Roy Hendricks drew No. 57, bus will not be called on account of his physical condition.

On account of the contradictory figures given, it has been hard to make a list that is accurate, but the one given below, which only goes far enough to include the names from which Boyd county's 59 will be taken, is fairly accurate. It is expected at this time to continue the list next week, so that those not in the first drawing may have the satisfaction of knowing just where they stand.
