SON WITH OCCUPATION ARMY.

James H. Cameran, of Kankakee, 111., formerly I. H. C. blockman of ' this territory, was in Rensselaer Sun- ■ day. In the evening he continued to ■ Monticello, where he expected to assist Blockman W. C. Kincaid on the Monticello 'block this week. Mr. Cameran has received a letter from his son in which the latter tells of a very interesting incidenfr-whieh-happened to him before the armistice. A shell exploded close enough to 'him to blow him into another shell hole. When he lit he looked about and found that his only companion was a wounded hyena. The animal took a look at him and seeing that he was an American remained, quiet and peaceful. Lieut. Cameran has been pretty severely gassed but is improving. He is in Germany with the army of occupation and does not expect to be sent home until Germany has signed the peace treaty.
