no moral right to do. and the oppo-

London, Nov. 16.-The nnonnce

gle line telegram from Constantinople.
1t lifts a corner of the veil which has
been battling observers for some days
regarding the movements of the vie.
torious invaders in front of the cap
ltal.
Their appearance at Kilios shows
that they have managed to creep
around behind what is known as the
forest OF Belgrade, on the outskirts of
Constantinople, and are now in close
proximity to Therapia, the summer
resorts of the residents of CONSTANT
nople. From Therapia a good road
leads to within a few miles of Kilios.
Nothing has yet come to hand to
show whether the Bulgarians at Kilios
are In strong force or merely a de-
tachment of cavalry scouts blazing a
new route of APPROACH to the Turkish
capital. There is a strongly defended
fort at Kilios, but this was construct
ed to defend the place from attack by
sea and may be open to assault on the
land side.
kilios a Vital Point.
Kilios is only three miles to the
west of Cape Rumeli, at the Black sea
entrance to the Bosphorus.
If a strong Bulgarian force is al
ready at Kilios on the flank of the
Turkish army the fate of the Ottoman
troops cannot, in military opinion, re
main long in doubt IL the Bulgarian
troops decide to enter Constantinople
before a definite armistice is agreed
to.
For the moment the action of Tur-
key in applying directly to King Ferd-
fnand of Bulgaria for ar armistice has
superseded the proffers of the powers
TO mediate.
That an early peace Is assured Is
accepted as a foregone conclusion, but
whether it will be brought about be-
fore or after the surrender of Con-
stantinople is probably known only to
King Ferdinand of Bulgaria and his
advisers.
Montenegro Stands Pat.
The differences between Austria
Hungary and Servia evidently are in
q fair way toward settlement, but
Montenegro, which jumped into the
war ahead Of its allies, seems loath
to r%elinquish any of the spoils gained
In the fighting. The peremptory re-
lection of King Nicholas Of Montene-
gro of Austrian and Italian interven-
ton Is causing some concern to the
European powers, who are anxious
for an immediate cessation of hostil
tiles, and now comes a further report
that King Nicholas has informed the
Bulgarian government that he will not
agree to an armistice until the Turk
ish troops evacuate the fortress OF
Ecutari.
The ministers of the European pow
ers communicated to the Greek gov
eminent at Athens the porte's request
for mediation. The Greek foreign
minister expressed his thanks and
gave the same reply as his Bulgarian
colleague had done, namely, that a
final response would be forthcoming
after an agreement had been reached
by the Balkan allies.

Man Named Thompson Pulls
Off a Daring Deal but
Gets Canqbt

Hettinger Record: DR.. Johns had
rather an unpleasant and expensive
experience Wednesday when he pur-
chased from q youthful stranger, CIV
ing the name of Frank Thompson,
team of horses, wagon and a set
Of harness, paying $3.50 in cash. The
events that preceded and led up to
The sale Of the outfit haze been de-
tailed something as follows: About
a week ago A. D. Kirkpatrick Of Gov
ert, South Dakota, left home and pro-
ceeded on his way toward Hctt1nger.
Afer he had been out for couple of
days he met the young fellow giving,
as aboV stated. the name of Frank
Thompson. They stopped: at one or
two farms on the road where they
did some work which they had been
hired to do, then continued on their
way to Hettinger where Mr.. Klrkpat-
rick expected to secure work on Mir
ror Lake dam. Wednesday forenoon
while Kirkpatrick was down at tie
West Side livery barn, the fellow by
the name OF Thompson took the team,
wagon and harness and offered tho
entire outfit to DR.. Johns for $3.50.
The doctor was rather surprised at
tle offer, thinking it too little, and
even made a remark to that effect to
Thompson. This was explained away
by Thompson who said that his moth
er was very sick at New England, and
that he lad to get there at any cost.
After he had questioned him careful
ly as to where he was from, whether
the team was free of all encumbrance
and many other queries of similar ma
ture the Doctor finally handed over
the $3.50, and took the outfit.
About two or three hours afterward,
Mr.. Kirkpatrick came to look for his
team, then it was discovered that
Thompson had stolen the horses from
Kirkpatrick and had then taken them
over and sold them to DR.. Johns.
The doctor at once got busy. He tele-
phoned or wired all points on the Mil
waukee railway that are Immediately
east or west from Hettinger, but no
trace of the missing man was found.
Finally it was discovered that he had
taken an auto for Regent or New Eng
land. Regent was at once called and
it was found that he had just taken
a train from that place for New Eng
land. A description of tho man was
at once sent to New England, and
when the train pulled in ne was at
once taken into custody This morn
ing deputy sheriff Newton accompa-
>niew by Lewellyn Johns started in
L. NJ. Howell's auto to bring the pris-
oner to Hettinger. They are expect
ed to get back about s or 6 o'clock this
evening. Later-Thompson. in charge
of deputy sheriff Newton, reached
Hettinger this evening" He has prac-
tically admitted having stolen the
horses.

farm HAND
SUICIDED
Mercer County Farm Hand
ShuffIes Off by Use OF
Shot Gun

KREM, June al. W. Barker Of
Golden Valley brought in word that
Charles Simmons, hired man work
ing at c. K. Van Deventer's about
three miles northwest of Golden VAL
ley had committed suicide with a
Winchester.
DR.. L. G.. Eastman, Atty. H. L. Ber-
ry, H. L. Van Benscoten, and J. T.
Smith left at once for the scene of
the crime.
It seems that while Mr.. and Mrs.
Van Deventer were working in the
field, Simmons was hauling rock to
the house. He attempted rape upon
their little eleven year old girl. The
child defended honor and ran to her
parents. The father hurried to the
house and found that Simmons had
gone taking his Winchester with him.
Mr.. Van Deventer Fastened to Joe
and Lou Barker's for help and guns
but they were both away and he did
not secure any gun. While returning
he saw Simmons lying on the prairie.
When he reached him he discovered
that he had blown out his own brains
and was lying in dying condition.
Help was quickly summoned and
Mr.. Barker came here to notify Coro-
ner Eastman.
Thus it is again proven. that "Tae
wages of sin is DEATH"
Simmons was about forty years old,
separated from his wife and has three
children living with his mother In
Montana. Tie burnt condition Of his
mouth indicated that he had taken an
acid before shooting himself.

CROWDS OF People
ARE Leaving PARIS
viii Attend the Grand Pfix
Automobile Races Which
Start Tomorrow

Special to The Tribune
PARIS, June 24.-CrOwds OF people
are leaving Paris for the Dieppe cir.
cult, where the Grand Erik automobile
race will be started at early dawn to-
morrow 1t will be the first automo-
bile road race of international i'm
portance held in Europe in nearly
four years and upon its success de.
ponds the future of the sport on this
side of the Atlantic.
The Dieppe circuit, one leg OF
which lies along the English channel,
is the same that was used in the
Grand Erik races in 1907 and 1908.
The circuit is 47.S miles long, tri-
angular in shape, with approximately
16 miles to leg. 1t is claimed to be
the fastest that can be found in
France.
The race this year will occupy two
days. 1t is to be $50 miles in length,
478 miles, or ten laps of the circuit
being run on each day. The starting
point will be just outside of Dieppe.
The most elaborate arrangements will
be made to prevent the mobs invad-
ing the track. Nearly ten thousand
soldiers will be stationed at forty.foot
intervals along the course, and no
person within the Enclosure will be
permitted to cross till the race is fin
ished.
There are more than fifty entries
in the race, mostly from France and
England, though the United States Is
represented by one car, and there are
entries from Italy, Germany, Belgium
and Switzerland There are practl-
cally no limits to the construction OF
the cars entered in the first class, 50
the manufacturers have had free
rein to construct cars with the great
est possible speed ability. In view OF
this it is expected that the old speed
records will fall, and that a new
worlds mark at road racing will be
established.
