CAMP STOCKADE EMPTY

AnniSton, February 25.-(SpeclaL) The stockade a Camp Mcclellan is now one of the most deserted spots on the reservation, the prisoners heretofore confined there having been transferred to Camp Gordon, or tried for the of lenses for which they had been held serve the sentences entered up against them by the special and general courts who passed upon the evidence in the many cases.
 The task of cleaning up the stockade and giving the 100 or more men a hear ing was delegated to Col. J. B. Wilson about the first of last November, and the colonel has been steady on the job until the last case has been disposed of. In the work of cleaning out the stockade Colonel Wilson has been ably assisted by Lieut.. Herbert E. Catlin of the development battalion, and the young officers record has been so rec ogniZed by the war department that he has been transferred to Washington for special duty in this line of work.
 When Colonel Wilson was assigned to the stockade task by General Jarvis last fall he found that no charges had been preferred against a majority of the prisoners, that many of them be- longed to organizations already over seas. and in many cases no evidence was available either for or against the men confined in the camp prison.

Anniston. February 25.-(Special) )-First Lieut.. Charles Gaboury of Jacksonville. who recently returned from an overseas tour of duty bringing the English bride wooed and won on the other side, was arrested at his home in Jacksonville Mon day afternoon by Capt. Meade NJ. Good wyn, provost marshal at Camp McCle- Ian, under charges of being absent with out leave from his command, embezzle- nent of government funds and for shortage in his personal accounts.
 Lieutenant Gaboury was sent under guard Tuesday morning to Newport News, Va, and he will either be tried there upon the return of the organi a. tion to which he belongs or will be sent to France, where the alleged irregulari- ties were committed.
 Lieutenant Gaboury is native of Jack sonville, to which place he returned two or three weeks ago. bringing from Eng land with him the young bride whom he had met and married on the other side The lieutenant and the pretty English girl have been the center of interest for the Jacksonville people since his arrival at the home town. and the arrest of the young officer there late Monday after noon under the trio of serious charges created a sensation in the town.
 The announcement that Lieutenant Gaboury had been taken into custody by the military authorities created no less interest in Annston, where the accused officer and his family are all we'll and favorably known. The accused officer was brought to the cantonment Monday night. kept under guard of the provost marshal and sent to Newport News Tues day morning.

He has been a frequent vis- itor to Anniston since his return to his home in Jacksonville.

JONES REACHES HOME

AnnlSton, tebruary 9. (Special.J Wounded five times by shrapne and ma chine gun bullets. prisoner in Germany for more than seven months, and feel. ing lucky that he is back among his friends, John w. Jones reached his home in Oxford Monday after what is probably the most exciting army career coming the way of any local soldier who fought the good fight against the Germans.
 Private Jones' who was a member of the Oxford company, was captured on May F, last year, after two bullets had penetrated his right leg below the knee and his right knee cap had been shot off by steel-jacket bullet fired from a German gun, and for many weeks his family heard no tidings of the man who had first been officially reported as miss ing in action.
 Seven weeks in a German hospital, dur
 ing which the Oxford soldier claims that he was given the same kind of treat ment as the Germans who had been wounded, was the history of the first section of the local soldier confinement. After he had recovered and was able to walk Private Jones was put to work in coal mine three miles under the ground, and it was there that many o. his worst experiences were recorded The German guards were cruel to the prison CTS and the Americans were horribly abused by them in many cases.
 Private Jones says that they secured
 better treatment after 10 or 12 of the guards had been found dead after heavy stones had fallen on them. but that it became dangerous for the Americans after it became evident to the prison au- thorities that the heavy stones were fall ing onto nobody except the guards in the mines.
 Private Jones went with the Oxford company to the border during the MeXl- can trouble and served with his organi- | zation through all of it's campaignine until he was captured last May. The Oxford soldier, who was for a long time | mourned as dead, has been the center of interest among his friends since his 1 return to his home here. Beyond a l slight limp he is little the worse for his [ experiences on the front, and is looking extremely well. After his release from
 the German prison Private Jones was talk l en in hand by the Red Cross, given a new uniform and sent to Holland, from which place he journeyed to America. | The returned soldier is the oldest son l of MT. and Mrs. R. P. Jones of OK" | ford, and the return of the son to the | old home Monday was an event ln the l lives of the father and mother who had i grieved for him as only a father and | mother can grieve.
