CORDoVA.-Saken Judas shot and killed a native named Wassella about IS miles above Naknek, and shot and wounded Bandley KOvik, also native, at the same time. The natives had been drinking native beer and were all more or less intoxicated.
 It seems Wassella had been abus- ing the mother of Judas, boy 12 years of age, and he secured a gun and shot Wassella through the fore head, just between the eyes, killing him instantly. Kovik heard the shot and was coming to the fish house, where the shooting occurred, to find out what was the matter, when Ju- das fired a shot at him wounding him in the chin. The last shot was made because the boy was frightened and not because Kovik or Judas had had any trouble. Judas has been bound over to the district court charged with murder.

TRAGEDY IN HIGH LIFE OR
 THE TALE OF A CHIMNEY.
Thrilling Story Showing How Virtue Is Rewarded In The Town
 Of Seward.

Through his attorney Judge Green, Mayor Boe brought suit yesterday against George H. COnklin for the sum of $32.5O but the case never came to trial as Mir. Conklin paid the amount and the costs. This ends one of the most thrilling romances ever enacted in Seward. The first chapter in this stirring drama opened with a deep plot about the giving of the con tract for the building of the school house. The second chapter introduced a chimney ant the final tragedy came when the price of that chimney came into court.
 To review the piece briefly; Mir. Conklin had the contract for the schoolt building. When he came to the conclusion it was found that the build ing had been provided with no fue. The council seemed to be divided equally on the question as to whether Conklin should build the chimney or not. Finally it was agreed that he was to meet half the expenses and the council he other half.
 Now Mir. Conklin, it is said, owed Mayor BOe a personal debt of $25O. He gave Mir. Boe a check for that amount and, to make a long story short, when the mayor went to cash the check at the Bank of Seward he found that Mir. Conklin had on de- posit a sum which was $S2.5O short of the amount coming to Boe, This s825O was just exactly the amount which Conklin had to pay towards the building of the chimney acOrding to the compromise and as the mayor had voted to make Conklin pay, Mir. Conk- lin is supposed to have been ambitious to get even with his worship.

DUTCH SEIZE SHIPS
 WITH GERMAN GOODS
Serious Occurrence Takes Place Which May Involve
 Holland

AMSTERDAM Dec. 12.-All Hol- land is excited today by the news that the Dutch authorities have seized fifteen river steamers at Hansweert which contained grain and other kinds of supplies which the Germans were attempting to smuggle up to Antwerp by way of the river Scheldt. The German authorities contend that the cargoes were private property and the most serious consequences may ensue unless the government of this country releases the vessels at once.
 To reach Antwerp from the sea it would be necessary fer the steamers to go up the river Scheldt which pass es through Dutch territory and the government of Holland declares that the cargoes were contraband of war and their carrying through Dutch ter ritory would mean a violation of HOl- lands neutrality. Holland has been forced to the action lest Great Britain would regard the permission for the goods to pass as a violation of neu- trality so that this country is be- tween the devil and the deep sea. Needless to say there is much un- easinesS here owing to the proximity of German armies and the fear that Germany will take the seizure as an act of hostility.

BRITAIN IS STRONGEST
 IN A FINANCIAL SENSE.
Owing to Her Foreign Investments All Countries are Paying
 Her Expenses.

STOCKHOLM, Dec. 1O.-The Svenska Dagbladet publishes a report of Professor Gustav Sassel, a nation al authority, on Financing the War" He says in part:
 "Those countries which are big creditors of the neutrals have nat urally special strength in war time, in that maturing liabilities are readily taken up. This is most distinctly seen in the case of England, which under normal circumstances invests between $50 ,OOO, ,OOO and $75,OO0,OOO per month abroad, this being the normal form for the application of the surplus of England's balance against foreign countries. Should England now, as might be the case, cease to make these investments the corresponding amount would stand at her monthly disposal.
 "This explains the excellent finan- cial strength of England just now. England is the capitalist par excel lence who can live on the returns of her capital, and who, thanks to her resources, can force the whole world to contribute towards her war ex- penditure."

FINDS TWO BIT NUGGET
 IN THIRD ST. CELLAR.
Frank Nickerson and J. l.. Graef Strike Gold Recently Under
 Their Buildings.

While digging this afternoon in the cellar under his house on Third street Frank Nickerson found a nugget worth twenty five cents. Jack Roman did the banning. About a month ago J. L. Graef, the hardware merchant, was digging in the cellar under his store when he ran into quite pay streak. One pan taken by him had about twenty cents and he still holds the gold to show it. In both cases the gold was found at something like seven or eight feet below the surface of the street and in the gravel where there was no sign of bedrock. Mir. Nickerson after finding the nugget banned quite bit more but found nothing else.
 The gold found by Mir. Graef is coarse but flat and apparently we'll washed or crushed.

BELIEVE CRUISER DRESDEN
 HIDES IN PATAGONIA German Ship Which Escaped From Battle is Still On the Sur
 face of Ocean.

VALPARAISO, Dec. 12.-It is re- ported that the German cruiser Ores den which escaped from the battle off the Falkland islands has taken refuge in an inlet on the Patagonian coast with the hope of hoodwinking its pur- suers. The waters in the neighborhood are supposed to be teeming with hos tile ships in search of her and her chances of escape are believed to be very poor. While it is supposed that she suffered some damage during the fight, the injuries must not be very great or she could never have made so clean a getaway.

NISH Dec. 12.-The Servian government officially announces that the Servian army has reached the Kolubara and have crossed that stream near Valjevo as a consequence of the defeat of the Austrians in northwest Servia. Valjevo has been occupied and the Austrians have re- treated to considerable distance be- yond. The Servians have also occupied Lazarevatz in the northern part of Servian territory and on the whole have regained tremendous lot of ground which had been taken by the invaders on their march into the coun- try. The government reports that in the recent fighting the Servian armies have taken eighteen thousand prisoners. The Austrian army is re- ported to be continuing it's retreat with the Servians hotly in pursuit.

PETROGRAD IS

PETRoGRAD, Dec. 12.-The Ger man front has been pierced in two places between Czestochowa and Przemysl resulting in the severing of the communication between the diff ferent columns of the Germans oper- ating in those places. In the meantime the Germans are making night and day attacks on the Russian positions between Lowicz and the river Vistula and strong German endorsements are constantly arriving at that part of the battlefield from all other quart CTS of the front with the evident in- tention to force a way to Warsaw by sheer weighs of numbers. The Rus sians are reported this afternoon to be holding their own against the at" tacks with steadfastness and the re- treat has been coverted into a new general battle in which the enemy may yet be defeated and driven backward.

FRENCH CLAIM
 SOME SUCCESS GERMANS EVACUATE WEST BANK OF YSER CANAL AND
 ALLIES OCCUPY.

PARIS Dec. 12.-The official an nouncement this morning contains the information that the Germans have evacuated the left bank of the Yser canal and that the allies have once more re-occupied it. The left bank has been occupied on several occasions by the enemy but each time he has been forced to fall back. Artillery en- agreements all resulting favorably to the French have taken place at diff ferent places along the whole line from the Belgian border to the Vosges mountains. Some of the principal artil- lery fights took place near Arras, neer Nmpcel in the province of Aisne, near the forest of Lagrueris, on the heights of the Mouse and in the Vos- ges province. The fighting was all long range work and no real advance of position was gained but the effect of the French fire was that several ho tile guns were put out of action and many artillerists were killed or wounded. No infantry attacks are re- ported this morning in any of the places along the line.

GENERAL ASSAULT BY
 ALLIES SOON COMING
Great Forward Movement Ex- pected To Drive Germans
 Out Of France

LONDON Dec. 12.-That the as- saulrs being delivered now in spots by the allies against the lines of the en- enemy is the forerunner of one tremen dous general assault along the whole line of battle to drive the Germans out of France is the opinion of mili- tary experts and of all the people gen rally. The renewed activities in France on the part of the allies ar- very extensive but they have not yet attained the dimensions of a general assault. Berlin is already speculating as to whether the allies are not now beginning to take advantage of Ger many's pre-occupation in the great Russian struggle by making a gener- al movement designed to push back the German lines. Already the Ger mans are being pushed back here and there as if the allies were bent on making movements of the nature of tests to ascertain whether the Ger mans have been weakened materially by the withdrawal of large forces to the eastern battlefelds. It is un- doubtedly a fact that several Ger man positions have been taken within the past few days and it is evidently the intention of the allied generals to give the enemy no time while they are hard pressed by the Russians in Poland. It is generally conceded that if the Germans compel the Russians to evacuate Warsaw the Germans will be able to detach large forces for service in France and Belgium.
