"WEE CHARLEY" MAJ
TRAINS DOWN AND CArv5S
A LlEUTE TENANCY.

/ One year ago "wee Charley" Nab
butt, noted local amateur heavyweight
boxer and wrestler of the Salt Lake
police department, and with his family
and 2S7 pounds of avoirdupois, left for
the east to recast his fortunes. He
succeeded. Yesterday his former fell
low cops were given a staggering
surprise when he called at police head
quarters, wearing the uniform of a
commissioned officer of the United
States army, and introduced himself as
First Lieutenant Charles Mabbutt, of
the ordnance department.
Mr.. Mabbutt's first stop after leaving
Salt Lake was Detroit, Mich, and later
he continued to Hartford, Conn. where
factory. When the call went out for
officers and men for the grand national
army, "wee Charley promptly res
ponded and was selected for the Off
GERS training camp at Fort Sheridan,
Ill. Recently he received his commits
sion as a first lieutenant.
Lieutenant Mabbutt, who is accom-
panied by Mrs. Mabbutt, will spend
several days in Salt Lake before re-
porting for duty at Camp Coster. Bat
tie Creek, Mich, where he has been
assigned to take charge of an amuni-
ton train, with which he will depart
for an Atlantic sea port. His ultimate
destination is Somewhere in France"
'"Wee Charley's original weight was
reduced just fifty pounds in the train
ing camp.
The above from the Salt Lake Tri-
bune is pleasing news to Shoshone.
Although Salt Lake City seems to
claim the honors due to having a citi-
zen recognized for high honors. but
of a right may claim Charlie,
or rather Lieutenant Mabbutt, since
this is his really and truly home. Hav-
ing been born and reared here and his |
mother and brothers and sisters still
reside on the Mabbutt farm just west |
Of town.

A FALSE CHARGE.

The many friends of VIII Keefer,
Frank Crandall, Ed Gallimore. Ed Far
rell and Chas. Lind, of this place win
be glad to learn that the charges
against the gentlemen which led to
their arrest for bootlegging at Twin
Falls last week were dismissed at the
preliminary hearing Monday and the
parties discharged. 1t appears to have
been a case of over jealous officers
using poor judgment as to evidence
In this case their official blunderlng
cast an Unjust and slanderous charge
on the characters of innocent and up
right men.

A GREAT MISFORTUNE.

Last Tuesday E. w. Cowley and fam
lily, who are travelling through the
country in an auto, lost a walrus hand
bag containing all the family clothing,

out other clothing than what they had
on at the time. They went on to En-

the lost hand bag will confer a great

charge last Monday. Charley Hansen

Shoshone and has a host of friends
who wish him well. and hope to see

WAR CAMP HORRORS.

1t has been notorious fact that the
Germans and Austrians have, contrary
to all humane rules of international
conflict, treated their prisoners of war
with utmost cruelty. Before the Uni

bassadors protested in vain against the
German practice of barbarism. Just

The flag should be shown at
every dwelling and every place

on every coat lapel. No matter
how small it is, the flag should

Don't Think of
Taking Ca|oInel
LemOiaC Has Proven a Scientific
Substitute.

For many years it has been
the one thought that when the
system needed to be rejuvenated,
when the liver failed to perform
it's functions, calomel would be
the only effective remedy. But
today, through wonderfully
scientific research, Lemolac has
been found to accomplish the
identical result as calomel, with
out the sickening and unpleasant
features.
Lemolac is purely vegetable
purgative, is mild in its actions
and easy to take. It is the one
remedy of it's kind that does not
grippe or salivate. You can give
it with safety to the smallest
child.
When the liver seems lazy"
when you feel all out of sorts
and particularly when constipa-
ton is annoying you, try Lemo-
lac and you'll be more than
pleased for doing so.
Lemolac is sold by A. G..
Thornton, Brandon, Miss, and
Kings's Drug Co., Pelahatchie,
Miss, who will gladly refund
your money should it fail to &C
complish everything claimed for
it.

A prominent farmer of this
county said to the writer during
the week that at first he did not
pay much attention to this hue
and cry about raising foodstuffs,
but since he had been looking in
to the situation and reading the
warnings that have been sent
out, he had decided to reduce
his cotton acreage and plant just
as much of his lands as possible
in corn. peas, potatoes, etc.
This man, like scores of others
in this county, has been led to

duty. -Woodville Republican.

bill bears such a strong resemb-
lance to the regular SIS bill that
you are liable to get ''stung" if
you don't watch out. A number
of concerns over the country
where quick change is made
have taken the new bills by mis-
take for five spots and are now
exhibiting them on the inside of
their show cases as a warning to
the unwary. Of course the new
bill on closer examination is
plainly worth only one dollar in
stead of five, but the general de-
sign and coloring is very similar
to that of the old familiar five
dollar greenback.
