SALINE COUNTY BUILDING
ROADS WITH REAL GRADER

SaIina Journal: The county com

the purchase Of Monroe road lev

tive force OF road machinery now
owned by Saline county. The other
property consists Of a big 1890 gas
oline tractor and a giant Austin
Western road grader. Already the
machinery is at work on the county
roads and the commissioners say
that they will soon be able to show
several miles Of the best graded
roads in this part Of the state.
Z The leveler Just purchased is the
ssme machine as was tried out on
the Ninth street road last Thursday.
There, following the grader, 1t did
very satisfactory piece Of work
and the success in building up a
weIl-rounded roadway in a short
time had much to do with the pur-
chase yesterday. The other pieces Of
road machinery were purchased
early in August and have already
been put to the test.

ONE WOUNDED IN
FIGHT AT HER1NGToN

War between Germany and Next
co was officially declared last Thurs
day when Pete Homan attempted,
by force of arms, to put to rout one
Ambello who was invading his prop
erty. 1t appears from the evidence
given at the trial in police court
that Ambello had been buying milk
Of Homan but had neglected to pay
for It. whereupon the latter said
there was nothing doing in the milk
line when the Mexican called for a
supply Friday morning. According to
Holman Ambeilo abused him. Homan
went into the house and got q gun
for the purpose Of driving the In
yader from the premises. At this
point the stories differ greatly. Ho-
man says that Ambello took the
gun away from him and shot him
in the arm. The latter says a scuffle
ensued and Homan was accidentally
shot. In any event 1t cost John AM
bello SO for disturbing the peace
and Francisco Ambello SO for flour
fishing knife. Romans wound was
not at all serious.
1t appears also that several Mexi-
cans on two or three different occa-
sions bombarded George Pauley's
house with bricks, knocking out a
number of window panes. Two Mexi-
cans were fined IS each for this
offense. This trouble started over
some sewing Mrs. Pauley was doing
for the Mexicans.- Harrington Times.

ROB MILLER STORE
AT JUNCTION CITY

The Miller mercantile store Al
Junction City was broken into and
merchandise stolen Wednesday
night. Some of the finest clothes
and silk goods were taken. The
robbers changed clothes, picking out
the best in the shop for their new
attire. The robbery resembles in
some ways the operations OF the
silk thieves, though the silk thieves
usually do a more workmanlike job
and do not usually bother about
changing clothes while in the store.

COLONIES MAY CHANGE
OWNERS IN BIG WAR

The local boards of strategy which
have begun to divide up the contin-
emit of Europe as a consequence OF
the present war OF the powers, will
do we'll to consider the probable
changes which may take place in
the territories outside of Europe,
rather than already to begin recon-
structfng the German empire, and
to split up Austria-TIungary. Changes
doubtless will take place in Africa.
In the diplomatic interchanges
which took place between the Ger
man chancellor and Sir Edward Grey
the chancellor was willing to grant
as the price of British neutrality a
promise that the territorial integ-'
rity OF France would be reprected.
but no pledges would be made In re-
gard to the colonies.
France has colonial empire Of
four and three-duarters million
square miles. with 4 native popula-
tion Of more than forty millions,
more than nine-tenths Of 1t in Africa
Germany's colonies are more than
q million square miles, a population
of fourteen millions, nine-tenths Of
Il IN Africa also. Belgium has the
Congo, a rich territory, 100000
an,,ara rnffoa IN awfant ana having q |
population Of 100000. In case
the Netherlands should be drawn in
10 the struggle, that country has It's
rich East Indian colonies, 10000
square miles. with a population Of
100000. Portugal, which has an
rounced its fidelity to the British
Isles, owns nearly 100000 square
niles OF African territory, and the
population Of this territory is nearly
ten millions.
