Father Dying, Atty. Coyle Hurries
to Illinois.

Attorney John J. Coyle was called
to his old home, Freeport, ILL.,, Satur-
day by telegram informing him that
his father was dying. He was accom-
panied to Illinois by Mrs. Coyle. AT
this writing it has not been learned
whether or not his father is dead.
MIR. Coyle's father has been res
ident Of Freeport, ILL.,, practically all
of his life and he well remembers the
debate which took place in that city
between Abraham Eincoln, just prior
to the time the Great Emancipator
was elected president, and Stephen A..
Douglas, the Little Giant, democrat,
who opposed Lincoln. Mr.. Coyle's
father often told of the way the two
men were received in Freeport that
morning. Douglas was dressed in the
height of fashion and he was escort
ed to the fair ground where the mem-
orable debate took place, in royal
style, accompanied by delegation
of prominent citizens.
Lincoln drove up in front of the ho-
tel, riding in hay rack, drawn by a
yoke of oxen. He was only commonly
dressed and did not put on any airs.
How the debate came out that day
proved in an effective way that old
adage, that CLOTHES do not make the
man

Ed SOLDIER returns

Only II Years of Age, Returns
From France a Veteran of Many
Great Battles.

Raymond Gillette, son Of Mrs. H. A.
Geer of this city, the first M;not SOL
dier to be wounded while fighting in
France, returned to this city Sunday
from overseas duty. Altho a youth
of only seventeen when he enlisted,
Raymond is a veteran of many of the
great battles of the worlds biggest
war and he carries scars from wounds
received in battle, that he would nos
trade for million dollars.
Raymond looks fine, altho he has
been in a hospital receiving treatment
for injuries received in gas attack
and from shell shock.
Raymond was member of the First
Division, which received such a glow
ing recommendation from the Ger
mans About 1900 North Dakotans
were members Of the First Divis-
ion.
Raymond was wounded three times
and suffered from one gas attack. He
was gassed in February year ago in
the first big gas attack launched
against the Americans. He took part
in the first battle launched by the AM
orleans a year ago March i. 1t was
in this battle that Frank Midak of
Minot was killed. Midak was the first
Minot soldier to be killed. 1t was also
in this battle that Hector Rollman, son
Of Mrs. Arseth Of this city, was taken
prisoner. Rollman has been releas-
ed from the German prison but has
not arrived home yet. Forty per cent

killed or wounded in the big battle Of
March /. On April 8, the First Di-

left Minot with that company. He

Mrs. H. A. Geer, the noble mother
who permitted her youthful son to en-
ter the great conflict, is deserving Of
share of the honor bestowed upon
this brave young soldier, who took
such an important part in putting fear
into the heart of the Hun.

CLARK HOVEY, LONG
missing, IN CHICAGO
Former Deputy Sheriff Who Was
Mourned as Dead. Writes Family
From Chicago. Where He is I'll
in Hospital

Clark Hovey, former Minot attorney
and deputy sheriff, who disappeared
mysteriously year ago last winter,
at Mandan, N. D., is i'll in a hospital
in Chicago, according to information
given by him in letter to his wife,
who resides in this city.
Mr.. Hovey, while acting as deputy
sheriff under former Sheriff John j.
Nedreloe, went to Mandan, N. D., on
business connected with the office and
a day or two later, his clothing was
found on the banks of the Missouri
river. 1t was feared that he might
have ended his life in the river. No
thing was heard of him from that
time until the letter was received by
Mrs. Hovey the other day. Mr.. How
ey's records at the sheriff's office
were found to be perfectly clear and
there was no apparent reason why he
should have taken his leave so un-
tremendously. The receipt of the
letter has lifted terrible load from
the family and the prospects for an
early reunion are bright.

north DAKOTA'SOL
EST SOLDIER RETURNS
NJ. G. Breslin, Aged 50 Years, Who
Enlisted in Signal Corps in Mi
not, is Back From Service Along
Battle Line.

NJ. G. Breslin, of Mohall, N. D.,
who enlisted in the Signal Corps, in
Minot, returned yesterday from over
seas and stopped in this city day
on his way home.
Mr.. Breslin, who is 50 years of age,
was the oldest soldier sent across the
seas from North Dakota and so far as
he was able to learn he was the old
est soldier, outside of the army offic-
ers, who went to France. He has had
27 years experience as a telephone
lineman and he was thus able to get
into this branch of the service. He
was in No. 421 Telegraph Battalion
of the Signal Corps. Mr.. Breslin's
work took him up just behind the
front lines, where the signal corps
was engaged in rebuilding the tele-
phone lines. For instance, when
Metz was. taken, he was ID miles this
side of that city. The signal corps
would go over the battle-ground just
two tlys after the battle had been
fought. There were always countless
numbers of the German dead lying on
the field and the Americans would
have to bury them. The German dead
would be buried usually in shell holes
and no effort was made to mark the
graves. The American dead would be
carefully buried and the graves mark
ed. Uncle Sam is preparing for an
immense cemetery 35 miles from
Brest, France, which will be one Of tho
most beautiful spots in the world.
Mr.. Breslin said that in rebuilding
the lines, old worn-out Ford cNrs or
old trucks would be used to excellent
advantage. The insulated wire would
be fastened to the rear axle of The
car and the car pointed in the direc-
tion desired. The front axle would
be locked to keep it in straight line
and the machine would be started. 1t
would proceed on its way stringing
the wire without a driver. In the end
it was certain to be wrecked in some
shell hole, but often the car would
go for eight or ten miles. The boys
often remarked that the car made bet
ter progress without driver.
Mr.. Breslin stated that for ten days
after the armistice was signed, Uncle
Sam frightened up and bettered his po-
sition along the entire front. We be-
lieved that Germany was insincere
and that she was merely playing for
time. Had this been the case, our
troops were so we'll prepared that
nothing in the world could have stop
ped them. The airplanes were buster
than deer during that period watching
for signs Of German treachery and
climbers were placed in tree tops and
on all high elevations to keep watch
