PEARL M0URNS FIRST
SOLDIER DEAD
Tender Tribute Paid to Brave
John Mclean, Who
Died in Action.

Saturdays papers gave the name
of John Mclean of Pearl in the casu-
atty hst-the first of Gem county
soldiers TO give his life for the cause
of human freedom. He was the third
son of Mrs. Dave Mclean, one Of the
old settlers of Pearl, but who moved
to Boise short time ago after the
death of her husband. John Mclean
was born and raised in Pearl. He was
IS years and months old He en-
listed in the marines at Portland, Ore,
April 26, 1917, and arrived in France
February 27 of this year. His last
letter hame is dated May 10. and IN it
he told of being transferred from the
120th to the sth company of the [. S.
marines. He was then having 4 fine
time and was well pleased with the
service and his prospects. 1t is as
sumed that he went to the front soon
after that and fell fighting in one of
the fierce marine actions of the past
few days. He is survived by his moth
er, six brothers and one sister. One
of his brothers. Kenneth, is in the
army, in Battery B Of the field artill-
cry.
The following tribute, written by
F. B. Turner OF Pearl, represents the
sentiments of the people in that sec
tion and gives to the stranger IN i'm
