mans. in an attempt to cut out that
portion of the German army which Is
thrust towards St. Mihiel.
Generally speaking, the French
claim to have made some progress at
various points along the front. Paris
reports that the allies have destroyed
fifteen German machine guns, two
of which were armored, near La Bas-
see. and battery of German heavy
artillery in the environs nf st. Mihiel.
Heavy Reinforcements.
Both sides are bringing reinforce
ments to the western front, where one
of the supreme struggles of the war
is on. The Germans are not bringing
new troops from the east but are
throwing every available man in Bel
gium into the firing line. They seem
to have the railroads working well, al
though they must have been seriously
damaged during the battles Of August
and September. Troops are being
over them and Dutch
sources report that train after train
of wounded is being taken back to
Germany In the fighting in this open
country where the men have not the
protection of elaborate entertainments
such as they have on the Aisne, the
losses must be very heavy. especially
where endeavors are made to carry
positions by assault.

The killing OF Frank Pulley.

Coroner Leigh and jury last night
held an inquest over the body of Frank
II. Pulley killed by Frank Vondra, n Bo
hemian. death resulting In the Peters
burg hospital, on Thursday evening,
from the effect of blows on the head
struck by Eondrn on "Wednesday night.
The two men were tenants and en-
ployes on the dairy fran of Hatcher
Seward, in Prince George, where Mrs
Nondra, n young woman, was employed
as cook. The two men because of SINH
lar names, were fnmiliarly known on
the farm as English" Frank and DO
hemian" Frank. They had been friends
up to the time of the difficulty. Tho
evidence in substance was that after
supper, while alone In the house, Mrs.
Vondra was attacked by Pulley. Her
screams were heard by her husband,
who, picking up something thick and
heavy, either wood or iron" rushed In
to the house to the defense of his wife
and struck Pulley on the head In the
fight that followed he struck Pulley
twice again, and then left the house
with his wife. Pulley talked with wit
nesses after the affair. but his condi-
ton finally became such that n physi-
Clan was summoned and he was brought
10 the hospital here, dying OH the fol-
lowing day.
The jury's verdict was, that Pulley
came to his death from u fractured
skull resulting from blows on tho head
!ustitiably inflicted by Frank Vondra.
