LIVED TWO DAYS
ON WILD BERRIES

Albert Brooks on Saturday Night,
Gives Himself Up to Officers.

INDIANAPOLIS. July S.-Driven
to his home by hunger William F.
Logan. who Saturday night shot and
killed Albert Brooks, In a construc-
ton camp north Of here, was arrested
late Monday by deputy sheriff. He
is charged with first degree murder.
Famished and sired of lodging
officers Logan went to the home of

BULGARS THREATEN
RETREATIHG SERV|ANS
Little Talk of Stopping the War
is Heard at Meeting of Rep
reSentativeS Who Discuss
Boundaries.

LONDON. July s.-The most i'm
portant news from the seat of war
Monday is the report confirmed from
Sofia OF the appearance of a large
Bulgarian force at Vrania, threaten
ing the Servian line of retreat.
Still more significant, as tending to
confirm the belief that the Seryians
are suffering defeat, is the announce
ment from Belgrade that only meager
reports are being received from the
Servian army headquarters, and that
the government has decided TO only
publish reports on alternate days.
Whatever the policy of the Euro
pean powers may be, little is now
heard of attempts TO stop the war.
The ambassadorial conference met in
London again Monday, but apparently
did little except discuss the bOun-
daries of Albania. Meanwhile, ROu-
mania and Turkey give signs that
they will not long be idle spectators,
and the Balkan states continue the
struggle which will paralyze them for
years to come.
News of the fighting continues con.
Trajectory in character 1t is almost
invariably from official sources in the
respective capitals; no Independent
testimony is available. This applies
equally 10 the SlIuRBle between the
Greeks and the Bulgarians and be-
tween the Bulgarians and the Ser
VANS.
A dispatch from Salonika reports
that the Greeks have occupied Dem
irhissir and Strumitza, and according
to the most likely information, the
Bulgarian general, Ivanoff, has been
slowly retiring before the superior
Greek forces northward since his
army was weakened by the departure
Of his right wing to attack Krivolak.
1t should be noted that another
dispatch asserts that Gen. Ivanoff by
an unexpected attack scattered the
Greek army of $4,000 commanded by
King Constantine, and occupied Nj
grita and other points on the Greek
line.
1t is possible that both reports are
correct and that that crediting victory
to Gen. Ivanon has reference TO a
later date. after the Bulgarian COM
mander was reinforced.
An interesting detailed report from
Greek official sources of last week S
operations, describes how the Bull
garians by incessant labor had trans
| formed Kilkish into another PleVna
with a surprising extent of trenches,
guns and defenses. and asserts that
the Greeks by their successful advance
prevented the execution of a plan for
a Bulgarian attack on Salonika.

CORNISH, n. H., July S.-The
cheerful glow OF wood fires in the
summer white house Monday night
brought cosy warmth from the au-

the possibility of his extending his

decided definitely that he would not

From the Diary of ST. Lence

The city council met last evening
for the purpose of hearing the remon-
strances against the building of con-
crete sidewalks recently ordered by
resolution by the city. Several prop
erty owners interested in the improve
ment appeared. some praying that ac-
ton be delayed in the matter, others
claiming the Improvement not neces-
sary in their several instances. After
considering the question the council
decided that the preliminary resolu-
ton should stand intact and by unani-
nous consent passed confirmatory
resolution ordering the work done in
thirty days and instructed the city
clerk TO so notify the property own
ers. The question of the Improvement
of the Bezor ditch was again taken up,
VIII ]. Davis Jr. appearing before the
council with letters from Mr.. Under
wood of the Erie railroad bearing out
in substance the article appearing in
THE TINES yesterday. in which the
railroad agrees to the proposition of
putting a culvert under and across it's
right of way due north on Main
street. The Strengthening of the Be
zor and deepening of same for several
rods at this point will be a consider
debated the question as to the most
feasible way of proceeding in the mat
ter. Some of the members are In favor
OF making 1t a public water way and
assessing the residents contiguous to
its territory and whose property is
drained by it, for all improvements
which may be made. This plan, while
feasible. would probably meet with Sc
rious opposition the ditch is dry
most OF the year and not a running
stream and the proposition OF going
down in their jeans to pay for improv-
ing the ditch would be considered any
thing but justifable to them. The
matter was placed in the hands of the
street and alley committee Of the coun-
ell for further investigation.
