COUNTY
CONTINGENT
IN FRANCE
Left New York on November
26th-14 Days on
Water.

Most every citizen of Idaho county
will be more than pleased to at last
have authentic information relative to
the safe arrival in France of the old
Second Idaho regiment, of which Com
pany 8 from this county was a COM
ponent part. The daily papers of the
state have made no announcement rel
ative to their arrival until recently
when letters from members of the diff
ferent companies have been published
However, on the 7th of December an
nouncemnt of a local chapter was made,
stating the safe arrival of Company e
on French soil and everybody natural
ly rejoiced.
1t has been positively known for
several weeks that the Idaho troops
departed from an Atlantic port on the
26th of November. and during the past
week letters have been received stating
that safe arrival had been effected.
Mrs. o. l.. Cone, Of Alexander Freid-
enrich Co store is In receipt of an un-
dated letter from her son, Corporal
Leon Cone, Company e, 10th Engi-
neers, A. Il. f., in which he stated
I'VE arrived in France today after two
weeks on the water and / am sure glad
to he here although l enjoyed the trip
in most ways. We are still in the har-
Dor but expect to unload in the morn
ing. | wasn't seasick at ALL but some
of the boys sure had it, There is little
l can write on account of the strict
censorship"
Fourteen days on the water would
place their arrival in the French har-
bor on the 9th of December. and If n
landing was made the following day
the 10th would place them on French
soil. At any rate the matter is very
immaterial, since we positively know
the boys arrived SAFELY.
Letters have also been received from
Mac Leonard. Charles Turner, Fred
Guthrie and Captain r. B. Kading but
on account of unfamiliarity with the
censorship contain little of news value
excepting to theh ONE folks.

own the lots adjacent to most Of such
streets. The district court awarded

were sustained. NJ. Reese Hattabaugh
