EASTERN BATTLE
CENTER OF INTEREST
Russians and Germans IN Death Grip
OH tho Eastern Frontier,

OH tho Eastern Frontier.
London, Nov. 19.-Public interest in
the European war now is centered in
the battle of the Russians and Ger
mans between the Vistula and Warta
Rivers in Poland. 1t is believed the
outcome there will have marked eff
feet on the operations elsewhere and
on the duration Of the war.
Both German and Russian head
quarters are very sparing with infor-
nation. All that is definitely known
is that the Russian advance guard,
consisting largely of cavarly, which
advanced right onto teh German from
tier after the battle of Warsaw, met
superior forces and has fallen back
more than half the distance covered
in the advance
Ihc Germans arc sending strong
forces into the country between the
two rivers where the battle must he
iought, hoping that in this confined
area the Russians will not be able to
dcploy their enormous armies TO
advantage. The Russians, however.
ncw can choose their own ground for
the battle and it is probable they will
select 1t as far as possible from the
German lines of communications
In Galicia, before Cracow and in
East Prussia, the Russians are push
Ing their advantage, apparently dis
regarding the fact that their center
mas been compelled to fall back. They
also are showing much activity in tho
Carpathians to prevent the Austrians
from retiring into Hungary. 1t Is
stated that they already have cut off
100000 Austrians, who will now be
compelled, if defeated, to retreat west
ward
In Flanders and France the battle
which has been going on for thirty
hve days has again developed into
an artillery duel. This doubtless is
/ cue to inability Of the infantry on
either side to operate successfully ov-
er the muddy ground, and to the ex-
tended flooded area between the coas,
and Dixmude. While the Germans ar,
moving men eastward to oppose the
Russians they are reporte to be bring.

CAPE HUNTERS LOST
IN Big CANE BRAKE
Arthur Bowman and DR.. KimbrO
Wander Hours in Bear
Thicket.

AS a result of some faulty informa-
ton as to the location of a big wild
turkey roost in the swamps just be-
low Nash, DIR. E. c. Kimbro and Ar
thur Bowman after experiencing nu-
merous hardships, met with bitter dis
appointment and returned to the city
early this morning empty handed.
Before starting on their adventure
they had provided themselves with
charts and blue prints which they had
studied carefully in their efforts to
familiarize themselves with the topo-
graphy of the section in which the
game was said to abound.
They also provided themselves with
guns and ammunition, and long be-
fore daybreak they were speeding in
an automobile in the direction of the
turkey center. They reached Nash
station before dawn, and from there
proceeded by auto through the dark
ness to the forest bed chamber of the
coveted birds, expecting to be on hand
for a slaughter when dawn broke.
For some reason they failed to reach
the locality described in the plans and
specifications and when daylight found
them, they were in the midst of a
dense cane brake, lost and without a
compass. They gave up their search for
game and attempted to make their
way back to the station. The heavy
smoke concealed the sun, and it was
impossible for them to keep their di-
rection.
The nimrods struggled on, however,
until finally DR.. Kimbro, who was in
the lead, called to Mr.. Bowman and
advised him that he had just discover
ed the trail of a man who was evil
IDENTIFY giant.
He urged Mr.. Bowman to hurry as
he was anxious to overtake the man
with the big feet and have him guide
them to the railroad track. They fol-
lowed the trail for sometime through
the dense growth of miniture bamboo,
and finally the nimrods found them
selves back where they picked up the
trail. Then it dawned upon them that
they were walking in circle, and that
the mammoth tracks were being made
by one of their own party.
Mr.. Bowman then proposed a plan
by which they would be able to over
come the tendency to walk in circle

JANLTOR IS Held
AS A MAIL Thief
SikestOn Man Accused of Steal
ing Shoes Sent by Parcels
Post.

H. j. Mayberry, janitor in the post
office at Sikeston, Mo-, was brought to
this city yesterday morning, in the
custody of U. S. Marshal E. G. Han
cock, charged with having robbed the
parcels post of package containing
two pairs of shoes, valued at Sc.
Pending his hearing before U. S.
Commissioner F. A. Rage, at o'clock
Monday afternoon, the prisoner was
placed in Jail in this city.
The package which Mayberry is ac-
cused of having taken was mailed at
Chaffee on November 10, by Slagle &
Sliclman, and was addressed to the
Model Store at Sikeston, which estab-
lishment is also owned by Slagle &
Slickman.
On November 20, it is charged that
Mayberry appeared at the. Sikeston
store of Slagle & Slickman and asked
to exchange a pair of shoes which his
wife had purchased from them a short
time previous. 1t is alleged that the
shoes were accepted and identified as
one Of the two pairs that had been
mailed.
When Mayberry was arrested and
questioned, it is said that he admitted
having found a package containing
two pairs of shoes, which had been
left on a radiator in another part OF
the building away from the post Office,
and that he made a false statement to
the merchant when he represented that
his wife had purchased the shoes of
fered in exchange.
He denied having stolen them from
the post Office, and stated that he did
not know what had become of the
other pair. He duplicates another
party in Sikeston, in whose Office he
claims the package was opened.
The prisoner was brought to the
Cape by U. S. Marshal Hancock, and
Post Office Inspector, ]. w. Patterson
remained in Sikeston to conduct fur
Their investigation.
Attorneys C. n. Mozeley of this city
and Bailey of Sikeston have been re-
tanned by the defendant to represent
his interests.

LIGHT co. TO GET
CHANGE OF VENUE
Corporation That Ignored Promise
DOSe'nt Want Case Tried
Here.

Believing that the people of Cape
Girardeau are so incensed at the Light
e. Development Company that it can
not get fair trial in this city, that
corporation, which owns the Missouri
Public Utilities Company, has made
an application for a change of venue
from the Court of Common Pleas.
Judge Ranney will take the matter
up today and probably decide where
the case will beNtried. Opinions of
eminent lawyers are that the law re-
quires a case transferred from the
Common Pleas Court on a change of
venue will go to the Circuit Court.
If this is the view taken by Judge
Ranney, the Light & Development
Company will be forced to go to trial
before Judge Kelley, who sist at Jack
son. The Circuit court will convene
the first week in January.
The suit pending against the Light
& Development Company was filed by
Major Gihvuey Houck, who is asking
for damages amounting to $25 900 for
the failure Of the company to take
over the street car company.
One of the stipulations made by the
Light & Development Company when
the Missouri Public Utilities Company
was given franchise in this city, was
that the Light & Development Com
pany, which was to reap the benefit
out of the franchise, would take over
the Cape Girardeau & Jackson Inter-
urban Railway Company, which oper-
ates street cars in this city.
After obtaining this franchise the
Light & Development Company has
refused to take over the car company,
but for more than year has collected
all of the money taken in by the street
cars.
Mai. Houck's suit prompted the fill
ing of similar actions by all of the
stockholders in the street car COM
pany.
