Charge is CursiDg in
Presence Of Ladies

W. Fagleman is in the county Jail on
a charge of cursing in the presence Of
ladies as the result of what was ap-
parently a brainstorm of which he
was the victim yesterday afternoon,
the stunt being staged on the farm of
Mr.. Wood, near Verden.
As stated by Mr., Wood, Fagleman
had worked for some days on his farm.
Yesterday afternoon he left his team
in the field and went to the house and
there, without apparent cause, roundly
cursed Mrs. Wood and daughter,
threatening to kill them, burn the
house and barn, steal the team and
otherwise demolish everything in
sight. Wood came to the house pres
entity and demonstrated with Eagle
man. but was unable to get him TO
stop his tirade of abuse or leave the
premises, and as Fagleman held the
balance Of power in the form of a club
force was considered by Wood as a
step far from diplomatic.
The officers we're notified and Dep
uty Stringfield of verden proceeded to
the scene and arrested the offender
1t was necessary for him to draw his
gun before Fagleman would lay down
his club or submit to arrest.

Naval Battle in North Sea.

Wireless reports of the firing OF
heavy guns at sea led to the belief in
London that the German and English
fleets are engaged in the North sea.
A news agency announced the re.
ceipt of wireless communication
stating that such battle was being
fought.
The first engagement OF the great
European var was fought in the air,
according to report received here.
The report says that German and
French aircraft have been flying just
over the frontier. The Germans are
using the Zeppelin type of dirigible
while aeroplanes are employed by the
French fliers. One of the latter sight.
ed a German dirigible on the French
side of the border line. The French pil
lot drove his machine straight at the
dirigible, which was manned by
twenty-five soldiers, and dashed
against the gas bag.
The dirigible was wrecked and all
aboard as well as the Frenchman were
dashed to death. 1t is believed that
the French fiier deliberately sacrificed
his life to deal destruction to the Ger.
mans.
Germany having invaded France. it
is felt in London that the time for ac.
tion on the part of England has ar.
rived.

Britain To Guard Shinrinn.

Upon the power of the British navy
rests the only hope that remains to
the United States that ships will be
available for transportation of Ameri-
can goods during the war.
In combination with the French feet
it is believed the British feet will not
only be able to seek out the German
fleet and give it battle, but will also
be able to spare enough ships to pro-
tect the commerce of her ally, France.
France has sent a fleet of twelve
vessels through the straits of Gibral-
tar into the Mediterranean. These
vessels, with the British fleet, will, it
is believed, keep the Austrian and
Italian navies from doing any great
damage to the shipping of their enc
mics. English and French steamers
will therefore be free to go anywhere
they please, and particularly to the
United States, solely because of the
assumed ability of the English and
French navies to protect such com
merce.
