TROOPS WILL Be
HOME BEFORE THE
FIRST OF YEAR
No Credence Given Report
That the Second Idaho
Will Be Converted Into
Cavalry Regiment.

Those familiar with the affairs of
are not inclined to take seriously the
published report here to the effect
that the Second Idaho regiment Is go
ing to be turned into a mounted or
ganization for extended patrol duty
along the border. They say this is
but a temporary arrangement to attend
to patrol work while enlisted men of
other regiments are withdrawn and
until other regiments can come In and
take their places. They set q month
as the limit time in which such serv-
ice will be required of the Second
Idaho. While there has been no defi-
mite information received here as to
when the Second Idaho will return
from the border 1t is said that the or
ganization will probably be back in
this state before the first of the new
year.
The fact that Lieutenant Dannemil-
Ter, who, from the time of the arrival
Of the Second Idaho on the border
until recently was or-inspector
of the regiment, had been transferred
to an Alabama regiment, Is consid-
cTeQ as IL VIII Dt IcInclll-
bered that Lieutenant Dannemiller pre-
ferred charges against Colonel Edel-
blute and Lieutenant Colonel Crow, al
leging inefficiency under the terms of
the new army law. A special military
court heard the charges but that Is the
last official statement that came from
Nogales with regard to them. These
two officers are in command of the
regiment. That there has been a con-
flict existing is claimed to be appar-
emit The rank and file OF the regi-
ment desire to return to Idaho. 1t is re-
ported here. while some of the officers
desire TO remain at Nogales. Had it
not been for this conflict. the claim is
made, the regiment would now be back
in Idaho.
The Second Idaho has made decid-
eddy good in the border service since
reaching Nogales. Plans are now be-
ing made to group the men enlisted in
the regiment, transfer them on the re-
turn of the regiment to Boise so that
each unit can be centralized and the
groups Will include all men in certain
localities of the state. The machine
gun company is recruited from men
enlisted from all parts of the state.
This is also true of the medical corps
and headquarters. All three may be
regrouped and given definite head
quarters
