S. ARMY COURTMARTIAL Somewhere in France sleeps Forest D. Sebastian, her soldier son. He died a ‘hero’s death in battle—but his mother! didn’t know. She only knew that he had been ordered shot, dis- graced for sleeping at his post of duty—for falling asleep after 24 hours of wakefulness. She only knew that her boy Forest was in disgrace—that | \same boy Forest whose Praises today are on every tongue) jin this town, who at 20 is Eldorado's first gold-star hero. Anguished over her son’s sentence, Mrs. Sebastian died five weeks before her son fell gallantly in action, at Sois- | jsons, on July 20, 1918, thus wiping off forever the blot | jagainst his name which had been lightened already by Pres- ident Wilson's pardon. |WORRY OVER SON’S TROUBLE |SENDS MOTHER TO DEATH | “Worry over her son had rankled in the mother’s mind,”| said Mrs. Katie Hampton, sister of Mrs. Sebastian, from | whose house the boy had gone to fight. “We never did, at any time, get a word of of- ficial news from the war department about the boy’s trial and condemnation. The first we learned of his sentence was in the newspapers. And we heard of the pardon the same way.” “I suppose if the boy hadn’t been pardoned, and they had carried out the sentence, we'd have never been notified until after the poor boy was dead. “For three months Forest’s mother was ‘frantic to know | what had befallen him. His regular letters stopped; then |his allotments on’ which she was particularly dependent, stopped; but no explanation came. “And then Mary fell sick.” “Up to the very last, Mary held out that she knew her |boy hadn’t meant to be a coward. She knew he would do his duty like a man. “Forest never mentioned his trouble in letters, even after! jhe was free, auntil he found out we had heard of it thru/ |the newspapers.” | Mrs. Hampton brought out the letter from Forest Se- | bastian in which he made his first reference to his sentence | ‘and pardon: He wrote: | “I'm not going to say anything about it now. \a Some day I may be able to explain to you all about | it. But PLEASE don’t think I’m a coward. Don't | think I am chicken-hearted.” | Eldorado’s citizens are proud of Forest Sebastian for wiping out the stain on his name, if stain it was. They also have some idea of what an injustice it is to let a group of army orncers pay jeg one of their best boys TD « T 2] '60-Year-Old Man Is Hit by Cycle | BE.
