MONTANA MAN
DIES IN SPAIN
DEFINITE PROOF OF HIS DEATH
IN CIVIL WAR Is RECEIVED
BY SISTER
Is Believed to Have Been Killed in
Battle Of Teruel Fighting With Abra-
ham Lincoln Brigade in Loyalist
Army.

Since August, when word came
of the death in Spain of H. ]. Par
rotte, his sister, Mrs. Lester Tin
finger of Cascade, has scanned
every newspaper in the country
and written several letters in an
effort to check the authenticity of
the report of her brothers death.
Last December Mrs. Tintinger ran
across newspaper article about
Bob Thwtng. who had returned to
service with the loyalist armies in
Spain. Thwing, 81. Of Murdo. S. D., it
said, related that he was still "jittery"
from his narrowing experiences. He
was one of 1000 Americans who fought
on the loyalist side and among 1900
who survived and were DISCHARGED bv
the government forces.
In answer to letter Mrs. Tintinger
wrote Thwing. he stated that he had
known Parrotte and that he was at
the front in March. 1898, when the
loyalists were forced to make a big
retreat. Ray Molten came out o. X"
he wrote, but Harry will never come
PACK; Just why we went. most of us
each other. we took 1t for granted.
Democracy seemed very important to
u.s."
Thwing did not know Clifford Haley.
Few people in the United States
realize how lucky they are to be Amer
icans,' Thwing wrote. THE threat Of
the spread Of fascism and naziism is
lot more alarming to people in Spain
and other European countries than it
is here. Hitler has his eye on South
America already and If dictatorship
takes Spain, he won't hesitate to come
this way"
Fighting in the loyalist ranks were
Spanish, Americans, Canadians, Eng
lish. French. Germans Italians and
other nationalities, he said, Most of
the rebel troops were Italians and
Moors, principally. and Spaniards. The
loyalist forces, he said, had an excel
lent medical system, headed largely
by German doctors and adequate equip
ment. There was also plenty Of food.
We we're compelled to eat mule
meat a few times, but we often had
fresh meat from the Argentine" he
wrote. Nearly everyone conversed in
Spanish and If they didn't speak the
tongue, they soon learned enough to
pass muster"
Thwing was wounded by shrapnel
and suffered shell shock He was con-
fined in several hospitals during his
enlistment period and served most of
his time in the Abraham Lincoln bat
talon, composed principally of Amer
leans.
"Parrotte," he said died in an eff
fort to make this country a safe place
for others children, that they may
not have to suffer as do the children
of Germany and Italy"
Harry J. Parrotte was born in Great
Falls in 1910. the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
James E. Parrotte His mother died
in 1929 and his father in 1884. He was
graduated from the Great Falls high
