the patients. We stayed there until
the Hun was driven to the vesle and
at last we were ordered out, this
time, we supposed, for a rest and a
change from the thunder Of the guns.
They issued US new clothes and then
we started to the front again and
now here we are in the thick of an
other victory.
II can't tell you where we are, but l
am able to say that our drive was SO
sudden and so completely victorious
we did not even open a hospital, but

This district is normally republican

lican candidate for Congress, Fred
erick N. Zihlman of Cumberland, is
believed to be stronger than his
party, which is due to his popularity
with the working classes in the min

he will be reelected by a substan-

Our company was given charge of

and an attorney from Idaho Falls had passed the

way to Challis.
At about o'clock large number of our citizens
met and proceeded down the road point about 100
wards below the school house and erected barrcade to
stop the entrance Of the carrying the party named a.
bove into town.
An offer was made the visitors the effect that if thew
would go to the Challs Hot Springs for the night the
Council of Defense would meet with them the following
morning Judge Cowen said he would consent to this ar
rangcment provided he guaranteed entrance to
town the next morning. This could be assured him
and after some farther parlyng the Judge and his party
returned to Mackay.
There was violence offered dsrespect shown to

SON TO WHAT WE WILL GET IF WE
DO NOT CHANGE OUR WAYS.

On the 11th of November 1918, Judge F. Cowen call
ed E Michael Clerk of the District Court On the phone
and asked him to call meeting of the citizens and if
they would not make changes regard to the
antne situation here. The meeting called and the
following message ordered phoned to Judge Cowen
"The County Board of Health, consisting ola
majority of the Board of County Commissioners
have established quara antine but not prohibited
travel along the publictghways and only require
people coming from infected districts to submit
to reasonable regulations not to spread
the disease If any person will submit to these
reasonable regulations they freely enter the
quarant1ned district and travel unrestricted to
any place therein
We are supporting the law and quarantine
regulations and protecting as best
people against the afflicton of Spanish Influenza.
We have no desire to violate your orders and be-
lieve the facts have been misrepresented to you
We have always had the greatest respect tor you
and your orders Judge and believe when you
get all the facts you will appreciate our stand
and until then ask you to withhold Judgment
and stand with us in protecting the lives OF our
people and to not1Ssue further Court Orders Until
side is represented.
Upon receiving the above the Judge replied that
the people were not recedn from their position in main
tanning the quarantine and that did not change our
methods we would get into a worse condtlon
than Spanish influenza could possibly put US.
Citizens of Custer County and Idaho what do you think
of this?
Is torture and punishment in store for the law abiding
citizens of this district just because they trying to
protect their wives their children themselves and all that
is dear to them from this terrible disease?
Judge Cowen has threatened to call the Governor to
establish martial law in this secon but the Chairman OF
the State Board of Health phoned that martial law
