Last evening the Lincoln County board of examiners issued a call for one hundred more men to
report for examination next Friday and Saturday. This call has been made necessary by the
fact that the net number of men that have been examined, passed and certified up to this date
has not been sufficient to fill Lincoln County's quota of one hundred and fifteen.
So far Lincoln County has sent fifty-two men to Ft. Riley, leaving sixty-three to be
available when called. This is a greater number than is at present certified, and it is
not known how many are yet to be certified on the first lot examined or how many will be
certified on the lot examined last week.
Under these conditions the local board deemed it necessary to call in another hundred men for
examination. Those who have been notified to report are:

The Lincoln County board of examiners last Thursday, Friday and Saturday examined one hundred and thirty-one
military registrants. Thirteen of these were discharged as physically unfit for army service and
eighty-one claimed exemption, leaving thirty-seven good, stalwart young men who having no
cause for exemption would probably as soon fight as eat.
The percentage of those asking for exemptions was much greater than at the first examination.
It is probable that some asked to be exempted on rather flimsy pretenses, figuring that if the
excuse held well and good, if it didn't hold they would be none the worse off.
Considerable criticism of the work of the district board in Omaha is heard; this, breaking out
in rather severe form at Gering last Saturday. There it was claimed that wealth and politics
influenced exemptions. This charge is undoubtedly not true; at least such cannot be charged
so far as the board has acted on Lincoln County men.
