Sad, indeed, were the early hours of yesterday morning for Mrs. Christian Boers, Bellevue, Kentucky. Driven from anxiety to desperation regarding the fate of her son, who was a yeoman on the ill-fated gunboat Bennington, Mrs. Boers was in a pitiful condition when a messenger appeared and handed her a telegram. She seized it eagerly and read the short but precious message: "Safe and well. Ed." Then she collapsed and wept with joy.

Await News From Her Wounded Boy
Mother of Edward Boers, Sailor on the Bennington, Hourly Watched For Letter
Edward Boers, who was wounded when the gunboat U.S.S. Bennington was blown up last week, is a Bellevue (Kentucky) boy, having been born and raised in that city. Three years ago he enlisted in the Navy and was sent to the training station at Norfolk, Virginia. From there he was sent West, and in May 1903, was assigned to duty on the U.S.S. Bennington. While there, he contracted diphtheria and was laid up in the hospital at Bremerton, Washington. On his return to his ship, he took a cruise to Honolulu. He is 21 years of age. HIs parents, who live at 216 Popular Street, Bellevue, received a letter from him written the day before the disaster. They are now waiting patiently for a letter from him telling them how badly he is hurt and describing the accident. The report came through The Commercial Tribune that he had been scalded on the legs and feet, but that his condition was not considered serious.
