Some Facts From the Border

In Camp, Douglas, Arizona,
August 10, 1916.
Editor Ekalaka Eagle,
Ekalaka. Montana.
Dear Sir:
| have received numerous in
qulrles concerning the heath of
the Montana regiment on the
border. | am aware that it has
been reported that there were
200 cases uf dysentcry in the
regiment, however that account
is subject TO considerable explain
alton, when a few cases had ap-
peareu in the regiment orders
were made at once to list all men
complaining, the men evidently
thought that it was fine opror-
tunlty to declare themselves a
small vacation, bat when it was
learned that they were to be fed
on an exclusive diet of oatmeal
and rice without sugar or milk.
the percentage OF cures was a.
boat % in the first tWenty-four
hours.
AS far as Company | is con.
cerned. the general health has
been excellent, but one man has
been taken to the hospital since
our arrival in Douglas and his
stay lasted 4S hours. The men
are being accustomed to the eli
mate and the work very gradu-
ally and are suffering no hard
ships. The first practice march,
es were about five miles ia length
IN light marching order at the
present we are making about II
miles IN half day with approxl-
mateIy half the weight of heavy
marching equipment. After the
first hike there We're a few sore
feet. on the last IlEe there were
none.
| note that there is a Certain
tendency among the men of the
regiment to write home accounts
OF the hardships they are under
gong, 1t is we'll to take into con-
Slderatlon that all Of them are
willing to pose as heroes in the
ewes OF the home folks' and
considerable allowance can be
made for the stories Of their des-
perate prlVations.
Five hours Of the day are de-
voted to drill except on DAYS
When practice marches are TAX
en-, this constitutes the heavy
work Of the day, the hours at
d1lIi are broken with frequent
rest per!oos and for a man in
good health prove 40 hardship.
There is some grumbIing here
and there about the food h,1t that
would be the case We're the men
at home, am enclosing some of
the bills Of fare picked from the
past week. | believe that they
show that the men are getting
as much OF a variety as can be
expected when the problem of
transportation is once considered,
As far as the amount is concern
ed, men are privileged TO have
all they can eat.
| would appreciate It very much

Word was received to-day from counsel

Deer Isle Man Charged With At
tempted Criminal Assault.
Delbert NJ. Small, aged twenty-four
years, OF North Deer Isle, was brought to
the county Jail in Ellsworth last Friday,
bound over for the April grand jury on
charge of attempted criminal assault on
Miss Ruth M. Torreg, aged twenty-three
years, OF Reach, Deer lsle, school teacher.
Miss Torrey's way home from her school
lay through lonely road. Small lives
between the school and Miss Torrey's
home, and had seen her pass almost daily.
Last Wednesday afternoon, as Miss Torrey
was on her way home, man, scantily
clad, sprang from the woods by the road
side and seized her. HIS face was con-
cealed by handkerchief, but in the
struggle that ensued this was torn of, and
Miss Torrey says she recognized her as
sailant as Small, whom she knew by sight.
Miss Torrey finally succeeded in break
ing away from her assailant and ran to the
house OF Caleb Lowe, which she reached
in state OF collapse. The arrest OF Small
followed.
Miss Torrey is a daughter OF Stedman
F. Torrey, OF Reach, first selectman OF
Deer Isle. The people Of Deer Isle are
greatly aroused over the assault.
