One sad thing happened in Tom Egg
gleston's company that brought sor-
row to the old Idaho boys, for Law
renee Dresser, an old schoolmate of
mine in the grades, found his fate
while swimming in the river Lilies.
HIS companions were unable to get
him out owing to the depth of ne
water and the current. One of the
corporals in Toms company nearly
lost his life trying to rescue him. 1t
is only a game of chance over here,
so if man is doomed he will lose,
whether in battle or in the rear.
