route on the first leg of his journey
for the England where
he has been called to enter the army.
There are now seven brothers In
the English army. most OF them
from the mother country. and two.
we think, from Canada. At any rate
they are giving themselves to the
cause with a devotion that is inspir-

boys and may the snme preserve
them from the horrors which have
been the lot OF the teeming thousands
who have made the last supreme

day for the people of that village and
the large number of campers who are
enjoying the summer on the river.

were married at HALEY early in the
week. Mr. Abbott is son OF Mr..
and Mrs. F. O. Abbott, who are pio-

Frank McWilliams and Mrs. Mary
Latimer of Syracuse, New York, were
married at Pocateflo Friday OF last
week, and went Immediately to
Featherville to spend the remainder
of the summer. Frank is too we'll
known in Mountain Home to need
any mention, and his bride has many
friends here where she has visited
with relatives ON several occasions.
On Sunday evening after church
services all the residents and campers
took their cars and gathered in both
bridal parties at Featherville where
they proceeded to hold a party in
their honor After midnight the
hall was opened and dancing begun,
which lasted until daylight. The
two blushing grooms were all but re-
required to buy Cap. Winters store
in an effort to properly treat the
crowd and real jolly time was en-
joyed.

Very truly yours,
]. B. BURNS,
Assistant Adjutant General.

Assistant Adjutant General.
The story about Abbott originated
in Boise and was to the effect that
the adjutant general had received a
telegram stating that he had beer
courtmartialed and sentenced to
fourteen years penal servitude for as
saulting an officer. 1t was repeated
by word of mouth for several days,
and was written to parties in this
city by an employee of the draft
board in Ada county. A telephone
call to the adjutant generals office
seemed to confirm 1t and the story
was published. There have been
similar stories circulated in Noun
tain Home about other young men
who are members of the National
Army and 1t is apparent that there is
an organized effort to spread propa-
ganda of this nature The only safe
method is to challenge every such
tale as soon as heard and start run
ming it to its source that the good
name of our boys may be protected.

JESSE ABBOTT NOT
sent TO PRISON
Story Was Lie and Was In
dustriously Circulated.
Abbott Has Been Trained
and is Now in France.

The story published some weeks
ago that Jesse Abbott had been sent
to federal penitentiary for serious
breach of military discipline, was
untrue. A letter from the assistant
adjutant general completely dis
proves the story and puts 1t In the
class of canards that have been cir
culated all over the United States in
the effort to frighten and discourage
the folks at home with the dire eff
fects of the war.
The letter denying the story was
received at this office Thursday, and
reads as follows.
Adjutant Generals Office,
Boise, August s, 1918.
Mr. George r. Lee,
Mountain Home Reublican,
Mountain Home, Idaho,
Dear sir.
Your letter of July 31st. received
and we take pleasure in informing
you that the information first re
ceived in reference to Jesse Abbott
was not correct.
The information first came to us
from an employee in the postofiice
and had newspaper reporter OF the
Capital News find out about the mat.
ter and found out there was nothing
to 1t. Have since seen Lawyer Wood
and asked him about the matter and
he said that there was nothing tt
confirm the story and that he had
received information two days age
that he was on his way to France
which we are glad to know
Your letter implies more thar
what we were informed of and We
take pleasure in correcting any state
ment that may have been made tc
the disparagement Of Mr.. Abbott ant
we feel confident that he will make {
good Army man
Very truly yours,
