The New Bank.

H. c. Hjerleid was down from Cres-
co last week attending to business con-
nected with the new national bank.
The preliminary work has not pro-
crossed rapidly, but it Is now far
enough advanced so that we are per-
mitted to announce that county treas
urer, l.. b. Whitney, will be president,
Mr.. Hjerleid will be cashier, and in
all probability j. j. Haug, ofSpillville,
and G. R. Raker, of Ridgeway, will be
on the board of directors. Nearly all
of the capital stock has been subscribed
and there are sufficient applications
for the balance to indicate that the
full amount will be taken by the time
the bank opens for business. DEBORAH

Umpire BADLY Handled.

Kansas City, Mo-, May 1s.-The base
ball game between the Kansas City and
Milwaukee teams ended in disgraceful
scene on Friday. Milwaukee won out
in the ninth on doubtful decision by
Umpire Graves, which resulted in an
immediate uproar. Fred Lake, catcher
for the Kansas Citys, assaulted Graves,
knocking him down, and Immediately
several hundred men swarmed upon the
grounds and Graves was roughly
handled, until four policemen came to
his assistance. The policemen finally
dragged the umpire out through a side
gate, thrust him into wagon stand
ing near by and escaped from the mob
by driving rapidly toward town.

Battle at Grlboro.

Athens, May 15.-The resumption Of
offensive operations in Epirus greatly
complexities the situation and tends to
hamper the negotiations for peace. The
evident intention Of the Greek COM
manders is to capture the Turkish po-
sitions there in order to show that they
have not been defeated. In an inter-
view, NJ. Ralli, the premier, repeated
his statement that humanitarian mo-
tives are Responsible for the advance
in Epirus, but he did not deny the adj
vantages which might be hoped for
from the capture of Prevesa and the oc-
cupation of the adjoining Turkish ter
ritory. He said:
1--WE are still at war, and until an ar
mistice 10 concluded Greece retains her
activity to be confined to Thessaly, whore

we can. II we have not already prose-
cuted the war at various points. and among
them the islands OF the Aegean. 1t IL only

ton might be subjected"
The government apparently thinks
that renewal of the war will hasten
instead of rctard the armistice. This
calculation may prove to be correct. but
1t is more likely that Turkey will seize
upon it as an excuse for delaying the
armistice and will deal crushing blow
in Thessaly.

Domokos, May 1.-THE Turks have

Arta, May 15.-The fighting at Griboro
ceased at nine p. m. and the Greeks have

Griboro is on the road to Phillipiada.
Two brigades Of Greeks With many
guns, two companies Of sappers aud a
squadron of cavalry attacked the Turks,
who were almost without artillery. The
Greeks forced the first Turkish line Of
defense, but met with q stubborn reSist-
ance at the second. In several places
the bayonets were so close to the can.
non that they (the bayonets) could not
be used.
The gunboat fotilla has been attack
ing Nicopolis from inside the Gulf Of
Ambraosia, with simultaneous attack
proceeding from the land aide. The
Turkish batteries replied vigorously
and firmly resisted the attack. The

gagement.

centrated upon capturing Nicopolis and
Prevesa before advancing to Pente-

put in its slime taday proving the bones
taken from the vat in the factory were
those of Mrs. Lue1gert. Professor Val
ley testified positively that Of the bones
shown him in the court, one was from
the hand of a human being; one from
the foot: one was a part Of a human
rib n n was a fragment of the fore
arm. The witness did not qualify his
evidence in any degree, but stated his
conclusion in the most positive manner,
driving his testimony home with the
assertion: "They are bones from the
skeleton of a small person, very prob
ably a woman" Portions of a skeleton
were brought into court, AND the wit
ness showed the jury just where the
fragments Of bone were to be found in
the human body. 1t is likely that the
state will rest it's case on Monday.

best information, fully thirty persons are
believed to have persisted while 1S were
taken out of the wreck suffering from

The wreck was caused by a ~head-end
collision between a Denver and Rio

cussion that both engines, baggage and
