OF IDAHO IS SHOT
PRIVATE CHARLES X. OVERTON
GETS TASTE OF COWARDLY
WAR

Charles K. Overton, private in Com
pany C, Idaho National Guards, a boy
of Is years who enlisted at Coeur
d'Alene few weeks ago, was shot
Friday night while guarding a rail
road bridge near McGoldrick's mill
near Spokane.
He was under the bridge near mid
night when he noted shadowy form
approaching from behind a lumber
pile. Without warning the fellow
fired two shots. One of them passed
through the calf of Overton's leg
without striking bone. He crawled
to the top of the bridge, called to a
comrade at the opposite end of the
bridge and was taken to a Spokane
hospital for medical attention. His
injury is not considered serious.
This is the first blood drawn by an
enemy on any of the Idaho boys, many
of whom are performing this bridge
and tunnel duty. Shots have been
fired at guards in other parts of the
country, but this is the first in this
section.
