OLLIE E. DoBSoN WRITES TO
HIS PARENTS FROM ENGLAND
Somewhere in England,
February %, 1918.

February %, 1918.
Dear Mother and All:
Just received my first mail yester-
day since left the states and believe
me, l was glad to get it. Got the
letters with the pictures and papers,
and also letter from Maud George,
but l think from the tone of the let
ter l did get, that you have written
letter that l have not got yet. If
/ ever do l hope to get it before long.
Well, mother, this is some country.
The rainy season is about over now
and everything is green and that
makes the country look pretty nice.
The weather reminds me a whole lot
of Oregon. They have more inns and
taverns in this country than ever
expected to see. 1t seems like there
is small town or an inn on every
cross road. They have funny rail-
roads here and in France, too. Their
coaches would onlym axe about one
fourth of one of our coaches, and
they are divided into compartments
and each compartment will seat eight
people. Can't go from one coach to
another when the train is running,
you have to wait until the train
stops. You can imagine things look
funny to us. Don't think they know
what riding pillow is.
Last time l wrote to you thought
we were going to Egypt, that is the
reason l said what / did about you
being surprised when you heard from
me again. / have seen lots of France,
and hope to get back there-again be-
fore long, as l like it better, there, like
the people better there, like the peo-
pie altho l can't talk their language.
Funny things come up sometimes on
account of that, but / could soon
learn enough of their language to get
by on.
Those pictures sure looked good to
me, especially coming when they did,
as there has been tleven of us put
off to ourselves on account of the
humps. You ought to have seen me
about three days ago. You have seen
a bull frog when he is croaking. Well
that was about the way l looked.
Would liked to have got a picture of
myself. We were sure comical
looking bunch but am getting along
fine, and will be out in day or two,
but know what it feels like to be in
Jail for about eight days. A couple
of the boys got packages with good
oud American candy in them that
helped some, as that is one thing we
miss here is candy or anything sweet.
We brought quite a bit of tobacco
with us so have got plenty Of that for
awhile, but it is going to be pretty
hard to break ourselves to this stuff
they call tobacco over here. Other
wise we are getting along fine. Think
most of this letter will get thru the
censor's Office, so will close, with love
to all.

SEVEN MOBILES GET
 FREE RIDE ID JAIL

Marshal Bobby Burns had his tin beetle out for a little fresh air, Friday morning, and while passing the Miller ranch, noticed three wobblies lounging on the Santa Fe right of way, oppositei the Miller ranch. Thinking to let the hoboes know that their presence was unwelcome in that particular locality, he stopped his car and went over to the men to have a few words with them.
 As matter of precaution he searched the three and found two of them heavily armed. He accordingly instructed h e three, all of Mexican descent, to accompany him to the city jail.
 At this point, young Mitchell junior, from the Mitchell ranch across the track, came through the railway bridge and inform ed the marshal that there were four more of the hoboes on the other side of the track. Bobby quickly gathered in these four also, finding two of them arm ed, and gave the entire seven free ride to town.
 The four who were found armed were detained and will be brought before Judge But ton on a charge of carrying con- cealed weapons. One of the four answers the description of a Mexican wanted for murder in Yavapai county.
 In the sock of one of the wobblies was found a supply of I. w. w. literature.
