The Richfield recorder. (Richfield, Idaho) 1909-1931, 1916-10-27

Dismissed by courtmartial from
the army he had served for nearly
80 years, Just as his regiment was
going into action, in 1914, this Eng
lish officer, disgraced at time in
life when changes Of fate weigh
ed heavily against man fighting
for suddenly lost honor, found re-
fuge in that queerest of all military
organizations, the foreign legion OF
France"
Lost in the maze of battlefelds,
mere legionaire in the ranks, Colonel
ELLINGTON, late of the royal War
wickshires, was all but forgotten.
None of his old friends, his old fell
low officers, none of the men who
had seen him win the queens medal
in South Africa; none of these knew
that Ellington was out there, some
where in France" recklessly winn-
ing his way back.
But now Ellington is back in Eng
land.
Pinned on his breast are two OF the
coveted honors of France-the mill
tary medal and the military cross,
but the most valuable of all is bit
of paper which wipes out the errors
of the pasta proclamation from the
official London Gazette which an
nounced that the king has graciously
approved the reinstatement OF John
Ford Ellington in the rank of lieu
tenant Colonel, with his previous
seniority, in consequence of his gal
liant conduct while serving in the
ranks of the foreign legion in the
French army.
Not only has Colonel Ellington
been restored to the army, but he has
been reappointed to his old regiment.
In the same London Gazette In Oc-
tober. 1914, had appeared the crush
ing announcement that Ellington
had been cashiered by sentence OF
general courtmartial. What his err
ror was did not appear at the time.
The charge, 1t now is stated, did not
reflect in any way upon the officers
personal courage.
But with fallen fortunes he passed
quietly out of the army and enlisted
in the legion, that corps where
thousands of brave but broken men
have found ashelter and now and
then an opportunity to make them
selves whole again.
Crippled by Wounds.
Colonel Ellington did not pass un-
scathed through his fire. His fight
ing DAYS are ended. His knees are
shattered and he, wakes heavily up
on his sticks.
"They are just reminders OF
France" his aid of these wounded
knees, and smiled In happy reminis-
cence of al they meant.
ut is wonderful to feel" said Col
onel ELLINGTON, that once again /
have thee onfdence Of my king and
nv country. l am afraid my career
in the field is ended, but l must not
complain"
Colonel Ellington made no attempt
to cloak his name or his former army
service when he entered the ranks OF
the legion.
"Why shouldn't be private?" he
said. ut is an honor for any man
to serve In the ranks of that famous
corps. Like many Of the other boys,
/ had a debt to wipe out. Now 1t Is
paid. Statesman.

Governor Alexander would have the
people believe that he alone stands be-
tween them and the payment to Attor-
ney Coffin of $4,000 demanded as fee
in the Allen bond case.
If the demand is absurd, and many
people believe 1t is, it is no more so
than the Governors claim.
IN the first place. Coffin has nc
claim for $14,000-never has had one
filed against the State, as an ac-
count is ordinarily filed and as Gov
ernor Alexander indicates has been
filed
The Governor and no other State
official has been called on to pass up
on it nor will be called on to pass upon
it
HOW, THEN, COULD THE GOV
ERNOR, AS HE SAYS IN HIS
SPEECHES., PREVENT PAYMENT?
The fact is that Coffin went direct
to the courts. AS a private practition-
err, and not as an empIoye Of the State,
he filed lien on the judgment secur-
ed against the bonding company, and
later enjoined payment.
That matter is now before the SUI
preme court of Idaho
Governor Alexander said in his Twin
Falls speech and in others: Il am
sure they (the COURT have the in
terests Of the State at heart, and /
abide by their decisions"
YET HE ATTEMPTS TO MAKE
IT APPEAR THAT HE INSTEAD OF
THE COURTS is TO PASS ON THE
COFFIN DEMAND.
However, if, as the Governor would
have the people believe, he has any
thing to do with the case, wouldn't
you think that he, as a business man,
and as a member of the State deposi-
tary board, would have made some
arrangements with Coffin as to his
fee7
Would the Governor contract for the
erection of a house or for any service
without knowing the cost?
Now, isn't it cheap political bun
combe, under all the circumstances.
for Governor Alexander to pose in this
Coffin matter as the savior of the sit
uation, when the whole thing is in
the hands of the courts where Coffin |
took it as a private attorney.
It is true that at one time Coffin
was employed in the Attorney Gener
ais office. He resigned last Deem
Der, at which time he urged that !
worded resolution of praise
for his services be adopted.
Later on, Mr. Coffin was re-engag-
ed, and was serving as Assistant At
q ~ney General when the Attorney
,ene ~al's office brot suit on the Allen
,ond There was no power, however,
o prevent Coffin, as private citizen,
ling the lien against the judgment.
IL did that entirely on his own init
tive. and under the strenuous objec-
ions of the Attorn sy General.
The connection wiz the Attorney
office has not ling whatever
o do with the lien he is ettemptlne
o enforce in the courts as a private
PRACTITIONER.
And neither has Governor A,exan
er anything to do with it.
1t is in the hands of the courts alod
ever has been anywhere else.
The Governor says he trusts the
ourts.
So do the people
The case surely should be allowed
D rest with thee ourts insead of be-
lg made part of the Governors per
onal politics.

THAT COFFIN LIEN

Never Has Been Anywhere Else

Ever Had Anything to Do Official

FIFTY DOGS ARE
SLAIN BY POLICE
Efforts to Reduce Canine Evil are
Meeting With Great Success;
Must Have License.

Fifty dogs died in the gas box at
police headquarters this morning as
a part OF the city's crusade against
unlicensed dogs. Many more will fol-
low in the next few days, If licenses
are not secured by their owners.
City officials hope that when their
efforts are finished. every dog now liv-
ing in Keokuk will have been licen-
sed-or slain. The license campaign
was begun a week ago. and so far has
met with considerable success.
The dogs are slain in a gasbox.
This is an alright compartment
large enough to hold several dogs.
The dog is placed in the box, the door
is closed, and Illuminating gas is
turned into the coffin. After the box
has been filled, the gas is turned off,
but the box is left closed several min
utes in order to insure death. Six
minutes is the time usually required
for killing a batch of dogs.
