Idaho, Sept. 23. The mystery surrounding the reported death in France of Private Glenn Callan Perkins Per-kins of this city deepened today by the appearance of tlie young man's name in the casualty list and the receipt of another an-other letter from him by his parents today. v The letter is dated August 2S and was posted at the army postofhee August 28. Private Perkins was reported killed in action July 111, but the parents here had a letter from him dated August S, so it was thought that he met his death An-, gust !-), instead of July 19, as reported by the government. With the receipt of the letter today the parents are of the opinion that there is a mistake in the report and that their son , is still alive.
