to name Mr.. Holcomb for Representa-

These are interesting pictures of
the German army taken in action.
One of them shows artillerymen push
ing cannon up steep ground as aid
to the horses. By making forced
marches the Germans have been able
TO push the allies back so rapidly. The
other picture shows horses climbing
up a bank on the river Muese in Bel
gium after swimming across with a
pontoon. The troops made a hurried
crossing below the bridge, which was
in range of the Belgian artillery fire.

Auffenberg. former War Minister and
General Dankl who has been in su.
preme command in the invasion OF
Russian Poland, are admitted by the
War Office today.
The failure of General Fournier's
army to hold the line between Tom
asczow, in the Russian Poland pro-
vince of Lublin, is declared to have
been responsible. Dankl's troops
had moved fast enough through Po-
land and were attaining material
successes when the Austrian army in
front Of Lemberg was forced to re-
treat and evacuate that city because
OF an overwhelming fianking move
ment.
German reinforcements, which in,
cluded fresh artillery, reached the
scene too late to be of service in re-
trieving the day but were used tC
cover a backward movement.
In the fight between TomasczoW
and the positions on the San and
Vistula rivers the Austrian losses
were very heavy and among the dead
it is stated are two generals of divi-
sion. Because Of the Overwhelming
Russian strength it is admitted a

HYPNOTISN CAUSED
DIVORCE ACTION

Gilby, N. D.. July 15.-Hypnotism
broke up the happy home of Nels
Thompson, formerly a we'll known
farmer of Gilby, according to word re-
ceived from San Diego. Cal.
Thompson has just secured a diverse
from his wife. formerly Mrs. Rossiter
Of Grand Forks, when he married
about sixteen months ago. The decree
was granted on the ground Of deser-
ton.
IT appears that Thompson, who was
a widoWer of siXty-nine summers. met
Mrs. Rossiter in Grand Forks, and be-
came enamored of her. She was a
widow n admitted that she was 80
years old.
Forgetting the senior Mr. Weller's
injunction to Beware of Vidders," Mr..
Thompson urged the fair widow to ac-
cept his heart and hand in the holy
state of matrimony. The lady was
somewhat doubtful about the stunt,
and suggested that Nels adopt her as
a Gaughtec, but he couldn't see it that
way, and finally led her to the hymen-
cal altar. ....
Immediately after the ceremony the
couple left for San Diego, and then
for a good time, and she had it. Sne
rode in a drawing room. while Nels
stuck to the chair car, he alleges.
The new Mrs. Thompson suggested
to her husband that he deed his prop
erty over to her, but there Nels stuck,
and informed her in u~nmistakable
terms that there was nothing doing"
1t was then that the hypnotism be-
gan to get in it's deadly work, accord
ing to Nels' testimony. His wife left
him for several weeks, studied the oc-
cult science, and when h returned
had all the Hindu yogis in the world
backed off the boards.
She got busy on Nels right away, he
declares, and began to hypnotic him
out Of a $2,450 automobile, and enough
cash to bring the grand total up to
$4,000.
Nels couldn't resist, her. he says.
All she had to do was to fix her hyp-
motto binders on him, n he would
shell out like a sailor taking in the
great white way.
In order to keep up with his wffe's
hypnotic powers he even sold his farm
near Gilby, it appears.
Finally Mrs. Thompson decided that
she had had enough n skipped out.
Immediately the hypnotic spell broke,
and Nels applied for a divorce, and the
decree was granted by the San Diego
court.
Thompson was a pioneer resident Of
North Dakota, and well known to the
residents of both this city and Gilby.
His wife, it appears, resided in Grand
Forks; and conducted a boarding
house on the south end of the city.
The couple were married by Police
Magistrate J. r.. Church some sixteen
months ago.
