All take great interest in their
work. There was quite an excite.
ment in this part OF the town one
day this week. Just as the pupils
were marching out for the noon
intermission, two of the boys
broke out of the ranks and rushed
out toward Cansky,s barn north OF
the school. They ran hard. and
we'll they might. for there was a
life at stake. A COW that was
occupying the barn at this time,
evidently wanted tg get a breath
of fresh air. But the lower par,
of the barn door was closed and
seeing she could not walk out. re.
solved to try her skill at Jumping
out. But ALAS That fatal spring
There she was hanging on the
barn door, half in and half out.
Well the boys soon came to the
rescue. They tried to relieve the
poor creature but the hind legs
would simply not go out nor the
front legs into the barn. But
where there is a willthere is a way
They soon procured a hammer
and broke off the door much to
the relief OF the COW. They cam.
marching home we'll satisfied
with their heroic deed. One Of
the boys afterward declared tha
the COW intended to commit sui
! eide.

was held In $1,000 bail by United States
Commissioner Craig for trial in the federal

With Frank G. Marin, alias Judge

No returns can be given from the villages
or rural districts, because the fatalities
there have not been reported. NO record
has been kept of the number OF peasants
whose lives have been sacrthced In the

are therefore more likely to be under than
over the truth.
Since the LIST of JUNE there have been
several bloody encounters like the mutinles
of the soldiers and sailors at Cronstadt.
