Twenty tons OF hay, thirty chickens
and several farming implements also
were destroyed.
The fire was discovered by two
young men who were afterwards lost

The members Of the Bigger family

front door. When the door was

FATE Of DEWET IS
YET To Be DECIDED
Death Penalty For Treason Threat
ened; His Capture Ends
Rebellion
By 4ssociattd Prcss

London, Dec. 4, $50 A. M.-The
question as to what punishment should
be inflicted on General Christian
De Wet. the rebel leader in South
Africa, recently captured. is recognized
in England as one of great Importance.
Martial law is in operation in the
Union of South Africa and the death
penalty for treason would be within
the possibilities. The government
proclamation calling upon rebels to lay
down their arms offered amnesty ex-
cept TO those who had taken a promi-
nent part in the rebellion
Cape Town messages say that the
capture Of De Wet relieves the gov
ernment of great anxiety. The rising
in the Orange Free State at one time
threatened to be formidable because
of General De Vets military prestige,
but his capture is believed to have
ended ii.
The happenings at one town give an
illustration of the lengths to which the
rebellion might have gone. Five hun
dred farmers were Communicated to
defend the town. but a majority of
them went over to the rebels and
looted the place they had been called
upon to defend.
But for the introduction OF motors
into warfare, De Vets old-time tactics
might have enabled him to dodge his
enemies and worry them indefinitely.
The johannesburg Motor Club organ
lied force under Captain Bullock
which undertook the pursuit and Cen
eral De Vets horsemen were run to
earth by the superior speed of the
motors

"The personality of this slight and
almost le-looking prince was but
little known to the army until lie john

known it is a revelation. He is among
the keenest and hardest soldiers in the

breakfast every morning, drives his

and the services of the army.

Toledo, Ohio. Dec. 4.-One Louis
vile gunman is dead. three others are
hiding in the underworld section of
the city. Toledo man is in a hospital
with perhaps fatal wounds and his
wife is held by the police as a coroner's
witness as the result of the shooting
which took place in the residence sec
ton last night.
The wounded man is Harry c. Plum
mer. until about a year ago a saloon
keeper at Louisville, Ky. His wife is
said to have fired the shot which killed
the unidentified man.
The shooting occurred at Plummer's s
home when two men rang the door
bell and said we have a message for
YOU from Louisville, Harry" Plum
mer opened the door and the men
opened fire. Plummer fell to the koor
with two bullet wounds. His wife, in
her room upstairs, heard the shooting
and seized a revolver from beneath a
pillow on her bed. Hurriedly descend
ing the stairs. she fired at one of the
intruders. They made their exit
through a kitchen window. The dead
man was found by the police in the
rear yard. A dragnet was thrown out
The men were traced to the tenderloin,
where they were swallowed up.
Plummer says he knew the men in
Louisville but does not remember
their names. The police discredit his
story. The theory is that the shooting
is the result of an infraction of under
world rules and that the four men
came here to wreak vengeance.
The dead man was about 25 years
old. Portions of a Socialist newspaper
had been folded aronud the inside of
his hat band. The four men are said
to have come here three days ago in
search of Plummer.

COUNTY AUDIT FOR
1878 IS PRESENTED
Balance in Treasury at Beginning
of the Present Year,
$142,562.02

Dauphin county's audit for 1913 was
completed and filed with the Pro-
thonotary this afternoon.
The report was carried up to the
first Monday of January of the pres
ent year. January 4, 1914, and shows
that at that time the cash total bal
ance in County Treasurer Bailey's
hands was S142,562.02.
The statement of the assets shows
that the resources at the beginning of
the year in addition to the balance,
were as follows:
Sinking funds. s2S4,9S5.26; jail
building and fixtures, $35O,000; aims
house, 1855. 200; outstanding State
tax, S138.04; total of S1,249,213.11.
Aginst this were liabilities of S445-
900 divided into the following bond
issues: 1901. $269,000: 1902, S51, 200;
1908, S125, 900. The total resources
in excess of liabilities amounted to
1904. 4.213.11.
The various accounts show the fol-
lowing balances: Poor Board, $419.07;
school, s472.20; road. $574.29; re-
demption, $311.59, and dog tax fund,
S1,090.90. The prison account just
balances, as an additional requisition
of $920.70 was made to meet the
necessary expenses.
During the year s1,267.3O was dis
tributed to the various school districts,
s937.93 was paid out for the special
auditing of the Prothonotary's Re-
corder's and Registers books.
The bank interest on daily balances
netted by County Treasurer Bailey to-
tailed $2,040.32 and the assessment
upon which the county tax was based
was $297,435.10.
For maintenance of prisoners for
the quarter covering from January
to April /, 1918, the county got
s2,STS.s0 from the city; the total sum
received for, the same purpose for
previous keep totaled s6.402.5S. City
and county reached this figure after
considerable discussion. The county
received $2.0SS.49 from the State for
maintenance of lunatics.

Germans have formed another line

Allies May Have Begun
The first official word to indicate
that the predicted assault of the al
lies OH the German lines I'm Belgium
may have been begun came to-day.
The German War Office statement
says that the French have made re-
peated attacks in Flanders, which
were rcpulSed.
This brief reference does not make
1t clear how extensive the movement
Is. For several days IL had been re-
ported unofiicially that the allies had
determined on an assault which would
lead TO one of the greatest struggles of
the war with the object on their part
of breaking the German line in the
northwest, and, if possible, forcing a
general retreat.
! In Alsace, too, the French appar-
emily have made a new attack. The
German statement reports that an at
tempted advance northwest of Alt
kirch, Upper Alsace, was beaten back
with considerable losses for the
| French.
