Towns. Will Make Il

Last Friday boomer, who gave his
name as +. s. Foster, arrived in our
city and proceeded to act up and got
caught in the act. He went into the
second hand store and bought some fur.
niture and other things which amount.
ed TO about $7.45. He gave Mr.. o 'Roke
q check for $50 and tho second hand
man gave him a check in exchange TO
the amount Of $l2.55. Foster immedi.
ately went into the Eager Grocery store
and cashed the check and beat IL for
the railroad.
Mr.. O'Roke became suspicious and as
soon as the bank was open at nine that
morning, or two hours after Foster had
bought the goods, he asked IL the man
had any money in the bonk. He was
told that the man was unknown and
never did have any money there, so the
officers were summoned and they soon
located the forger at the depot. and put
him under arrest. He was tried before
Justice McElroy, who sentenced him TO
80 day in the county Jail. lie had $ll.20
in cash when taken into custody, hav.

There have been numerous crooks in

For six months he had been under

weeks TO overcome practically all IN

Four sons and two daughters, besides
Mrs Harburger, survive Mr.. Hamburger.
All but one OF the sons were present

When he retired from the Office OF
Sheriff last January l he had been

thirty-one years. He began as court
Interpreter, then served as Under Sher-

COSSACK BATTERY
SHELLS ROUT TURKS
Assault from Heights OF
Erzerum Proves 10
Be a Surprise.
rBv cable to The Tribune


pefroorad. Nov. iO.-The Turks made
determined effort on Saturday to
oust the Russians from an important
position taken the day before at kon-
rikoi. on the River Araxes, thirty-two
miles from Erzerum. This region Is
practically all mountains, which rise
more than 5000 feet at Erzerum' with
a fortress on the summit.
The Turks moved up couple OF
divisions. under cover Of large body
of Kurd light horse. from Hassan
Kaleh. ten miles further along the high
road to Erzerum. This force had
forty-eight field guns and several
pieces Of heavy artillery. The Rus
SLAMS had occupied the heights. which
the Turks stormed time and again, al
WAYS being repulsed in vigorous as
saulte. which aimed at turning the
Russian right flank. The fight, which
lasted the greater part Of the day, was
decided by a bold movement Of the
Cossack mountain batteries, which
secured the heights IN the rear Of the
Turkish forces and proceeded to shell
them from an entirely unexpected
quarter. The result was the Turks
broke and fed precipitately, first on
their left and then along the whole
lire.
The Russians thus remained IN pos
session OF the next stage Of the high
road to Erzerum. which they probably
will reach to-day or tomorrow. Rem
nan.s Of the broken Turkish forces are
dispersed among the dehles and passes
Of an extremely difficult mountain
country.
The Turkish feet apparently is sill
purs uing its methods OF independent
piracy, carefully avoiding meeting the
Russian fleet. This is contrary 70
Turkish traditions In their many
wars with Russia the Turks on the sea
have never shown the white feather,
even against overwhelming odds, OuC
the Germans have taught their Nos
lem vassais mucn and their teachings
are daily bearing fruit. The latest
act Of piracy - ne bombardment OF
the open town c. Pot! by a cruiser, be
lieved to be the Breslau, which fired
$50 shells az the town port, railway
station and lighthouse, doing damage
described as insignificant.
Receiving from the undefended town
no hostile reply, the cruiser put IN
close TO the Dreakwater and opened
fire with MaXims on the troops, wound-
ing six altogether and three seriously.
The troops had artillery and rifles,
with which they replied TO the Turkish
ire. The first hits made BY the Rus
sian field artillery caused the cruiser
20 turn tail and run northwards, pre-
sumably 20 repeat her act OF piracy
at the next port. Sunthum. about sew
entv miles from Poti. Poti IS only
thirty-two miles north Of the Batum
forts, which were left severely alone.

Her last moments furnished one of the
most dramatic scenes that the nurses

Just before III o'clock this morning

girl smiled and told her mother not TO
be unhappy.

said. smiling, "and | wish you were
coming with me. / am not unhappy
and have nothing TO tell. The only
thing l want to do before ! 40 IS to

She then lay back on her pillow and
started 70 sing Nearer. My God, TO
Thee" Doctors, nurses and patients in
me ward were silent as the girl sang
the first two stanzas. In the middle of
the third her voice became weak and
then failed her. A few minutes later
she was dead
One of those who heard the death
song was James Fralcy, the youth who
nred the fatal shot and then sent a
bullet into his own stomach He was
lying IN critical condition in another
ward.

ship ROUTS BIPLANE
And 2 SUBMARINES
French ArmOred Cruiser
Waldeck-ROuSseau Has
Exciting Trip.

Paris, Nov. 9.--A thrilling story "
how French cruiser engaged with an
seroplane and submarine simultaneous
w is told by a midshipman, who says
that the French armored cruiser Wal
deck Rousseau, 1880 tons, was head
ing for Cattaro in the small hours OF
the morning and was warned that three
submarines had stolen out to get her.
Day had scarcely broken, when also an
Austrian biplane came sailing through
the air straight toward the cruiser,
lowering at not more than 1900 feet
above the ship.
Unmoyed apparently by the hail OF
shot by quick-hrers, the bipiane let
fall a bomb which splashed into the
sea about thirty feet 10 the starboard,
abaft the bridge \ second bomb just
missed the port quarter. At the same
moment the lookout signalled sub
marine 500 yards TO starboard. The
submarine discharged torpedo al
most as soon she was sighted, but
the ship had time 10 shift her helm,
end the deadly shaft went swlrling
by not more than three feet from the
stern.
Before il could make a second shot
the cruiser had blown away its PERI
scope. and another broadsde must
have sunk her, for she was never seen
again. Another submarine came sneak
ing up on the other side. A destroyer
endeayored 70 draw the cruisers fire
while the submarine crept in and dealt
deadly blow.
The Waldeck-Rousseau was easily a
match for the two, and shortly after
the destroyer turned and ran for the
harbor with a nasty list 20 port, while
the submarine diyed 70 escape the
storm OF shell and did not show itself

RHEA ISN'T AN OSTRICH
Which Means That Feather
busters Will Cost More.

Washington, Nov. 9.-The feather
duster is soon TO take its place in the
high cost of living procession because
Of a ruling Of the Treasury Department
that certain feathers can no longer be
imported.
In an order issued to-day the depart
mont prohibits the importation Of the
feathers Of the rhea, often called the,
south American ostrich, on the ground
nat il is wild bird Of plumage'
paragraph 347 Of the tariff act pro-
hibits the importation OF plumage %

but the department has decided that
the rhea is not an ostrich, and conse-
ouently It's feathers cannot come INTO
this country. ,.,4
Feathers Of the rhea are used almost
wholly for the making Of feather aus

London, Nov. 10-The Petrograd
correspondent Of "The Daily Chroni-
Gle" says:
Twenty miles from lnsterburg, five
miles from Goldap and, as the crow
flies. less than seventy miles from
Posen--this Is the position in which
the Russian forces stand. This is the
new phase of the war which has fol-
lowed the general German retreat to
the Austrian border
The last units of General Won Hin
denburg's army have been driven from
the district where they took refuge in
the retreat from near Thorn. Once
more Staliuponen is in General Rem
nenkampf's hands and Cossacks are
bivouacking in the royal stables at
Trakehner, where the Kaiser has .
famous breeding establishment.
No private person in Prussia suffers
more than the Kaiser from the Russian
advance. His great hunting estate at
Rominten, with its collection Of Euro
