LONDON, July 3O.-Austrian in
vaders and the Servian troops are
fighting in the opening stages of their
war on Servian territory. European
statesmen and rulers are engaged in
what they regard as an almost hope
less task Of trying to avert a general
clash of the millions of soldiers COM
posing the armies of Europe.
Sir Edward Grey, central figure
in the controversy, owing to his
strong efforts to keep the powers of
the triple alliance and triple entente
from each others throats is not able
to give any cheering news when he
spoke about crisis to the members of
the house Of commons this afternoon.
Grey said: Il regret that I cannot
say the situation is less grave than
it. was yesterday. Outstanding facts
are much the same. Austria-Hun-
gary has begun her war against Ser
via and Russia has ordered part mobil-
ization Of her troops. Corresponding
asteps are being taken by the other
powers, so far as our information
goes. We continue to pursue our one
great object of preserving the Eu-
ropean peace and for this purpose
we are keeping in touch with it and
we have, l am glad to say, had nc

sible for those powers to join in 9

DANIEL CUPID
RUSHES TO AID
OF MARIBETE0
Wife Who Had Nose Bitten Off
BY Jealous Husband Tells
Court He Loves Her.
LACK OF EVIDENCE
MAY GIVE FREEDOM
Wife Is Most Unwilling Witness
At Preliminary Hearing
Officers Disgusted.

Daniel Cupid, that little cherub
who rules alike the hearts of men and
women, has put in a splendid defense
for John Maribeteo, the Mountain
Iron man who bit his wife's nose off,
and it is probable that he will go
free.
Mary Maribeteo, the woman whose
face has been disfigured for life by
incisions made by her husbands
teeth last week while the latter was
beating her up during jealous rage,
told the officers late yesterday after
noon that her husband loved her or
else he would not have bit her nose
off.
"He loved me before he bit me and
he loves me now for he has come to
see me daily at the hospital when he
was taking every chance of being ar
rested and thrown into JAIL said the
little woman. During the hearing OF
the case late yesterday afternoon Mrs
Maribeteo was most unwilling wit
ness and little satisfaction was OBJ
tanned to secure conviction in dis
trict court. It is believed by the Of
ficers that the prisoner will have tc
be liberated unless the wife changes
her attitude.

Until it does the old prison cannot

Spruce Mine Tells of Polite
Activities.
POLICE IMPORTUNE
CITIZENS IN STREETS
City Employees Discharged, He
Says, Because They Signed
Recall Petitions.

That the recall of Mayor Gleason
and Alderman Brince of Eveleth will
be effected by an overwhelming ma
jority is the contention Of J. M. Ire
varrow, assistant superintendent of
the Spruce mine at Eveleth, former
member of the city council and one of
those most active in circulating the
petitions for the recall of Gleason and
Brince this week filed with the city
clerk at Eveleth. Trevarrow was in
the city last night. He declares his
side Of the contention is not being
given fair publicity in the newspapers.
~ have not in this NATTER" de-
clared Trevarrow, Represented the
mining companies, but the small prop
erty owners. We did not ask any of
the business men to sign the recall
petitions. Two of them insisted that
they be allowed to sign them, however.
The business men do not care, for OBJ
vious reason, to become involved in the
fight. The saloon men would not sign
the petitions for substantially the
same reason. Naturally, we could not
ask the employees Of the city to sign
so that practically the only element
available was the laboring men. l did
personally circulate the petition at
some of the mines, but on the sur
face only. We we're refused permis-
sion by the superintendent to go un-
derground with them. There were
just as many legal voters who refused
to sign among the mine employees as
there were voters who signed.
"The entire police force has been
busy for several days stopping people
in the street and asking them to with
draw their names from the petitions.
At the last meeting of the council,
every member of the recently appoint
ed election board, who signed the Pc
titions, was removed. / know two
men who were removed from city
jobs who will made affidavits that
they were promised positions for rest
of the summer if they would remove
their names from the petitions. They
declined, however. When the bust
ness men go to vote the majority of
them will vote to recall Mr.. Gleason
rand Mr.. Brince. The latter is par
ticularly sure of defeat"
Eveleth's forthcoming recall elec-
ton is attracting attention over the
entire range and is one of the most
bitter municipal fights ever waged in
this section. Both sides are working
with the voters night and day. Every
effort is being made at present to get
sufficient number of voters who
signed the recall petitions to remove
their names that their effect may be
nullified. The friends of Mayor Glea-
son and Alderman Brince profess tc
believe that the matter will never
come to an issue.

John Jacobson, Tom Karjola and

business and will add largely to their
stock of mich cows. He says that the
district there is well adapted for dairy

SECURING WOODS
FOR THE BANDITS

GARDNER, Mont, July 30.-United
States cavalrymen, aided by trappers
and foresters, secured the southern
trails of Yellowstone National park
last night in search of two bandits
who, with rifles, held up rs coachloads
of tourists in the park today and took
the money of 165 passengers. The
troops are under Lieutenant Colonel
L. M. Brett, park superintendent, and
are trying to intercept the robbers be-
fore they reach the Jackson's hole
country in Wyoming, a famed resort
of bad men.
The holdup occurred in the upper
Geyser basin, short distance from
the hotel in Spring Creek canyon. AS
fast as the coaches rounded a bluff,
they were stopped and the passengers
were ordered to alight and deposit
their money in a feed sack lying on
the ground. Each coach was quickly
reloaded and ordered to move on.
Nothing but money was taken, the
tourists being told they could keep
their jewelry. How much the bandits
obtained cannot be learned until the
park authorities compile a canvass
of the victims which is now in pro-
gress. A similar holdup occurred
several years ago near the scene of
todays robbery and large amount of
plunder was obtained.
The following is a partial list of
the passengers who were robbed:
Mrs. S. P. Kidder, Madison, Wis;
Martin Ruthowski and wife, Milwau-
kee; Frank Bole, Davenport, Iowa;
Russell Bole, Davenport, Iowa; Mrs.
H. J. Baldwin, Joplin, Mo-, and Mrs.

has been engaged since Monday in
the trial of the case of the Calumet
Land company against Mayor Victor
