The following telegram was re-
cciycd from Lieutenant Hall last
evening after the Missoulian had
gone to press:
Chattanooga, Tenn, Aug. 24.--
Especial tn the Missoulian. Private
Edmund Johns of Troop L died to-
day at noon of typhoid fever. He
will be buried tomorrow at the Ma
tional cemetery, Chattanooga. Pri-
vate George Harris is seriously i'll
with typhoid fever. Private VIM.
Burton is seriously i'll with typhoid
fever. Corporal Fred Owens has been
taken down with malafal fever.
Eight men have been discharged for
disabilities and % given 30 days sick
leave. Most Of them 60 to their
eastern homes. All the rest Of the
troop are i'll. There are not a dozen
men left. Letter tomorrow. 49,
The death Of Private Johns is the
first death that has taken place in
Troop i though it has been known
for some time that sickness prevailed
in the camp, and that all men not
sick are broken in spirit. The troop
is to be mustered out and the mus
tering out cannot come too quickly
to suit the people Of Missoula who
want to see the boys come home as
there is no more fighting to be done.
Private Johns was a nephew Of the
Drs. Ellis who used to live in Mis-
SOula and was accounted the hand
soonest man in the company. Those
who did not know him personally will
recollect the tall, slim. young man
dressed in cowboy costume and who
was in town for several weeks before
the company was mustered in.-Mis-
