The correspondent of the Aech at
Jassy, Roumania, gives what he says
are the Austrian plans for campaign
against Servia. The Danunian army
after taking the fortresses in north
ern Servia, he says, will proceed
south through the valley of the
Moraya.
The objective of the army of the
Drin is NovipaZar, whence it will
proceed to Veles, in the vilayet Of
Soloniki and join the Danubian army.
The third army viii ayance along
the Montenegrin border, from that

statement:
Contrary TO assurances given by
austria to the French minister of for
eisn affairs that no Austrian troops
wore taking part in the Franco-Ger-
man war the French government has
ascertained beyond any possible
doubt that certain Austrian troops
arc at present in Germany, outside

which have set free certain German
troops destined to be employed In

STRUCK BY FLYER
MRS. G. KEVITT AND SISTER-IN-

EXPERIENCE.
ESCAPE WITHOUT INJURY
HORSE KILLED AND BUGGY DE-
MOLISHED BY GREAT NOR.
COAST TRAIN.

Thursday afternoon of last week
Mrs. C. HEWITT and sister-in-law, Miss
HEWITT, were as near tragic death as
was p .,ssible and escape.
The ladies had hitched up The fam
lily horse and gone out for u drive.
They were returning to their home on
the south side of the Great Northern
tracks ON Elm street shortly after 3
o'clock. AS they were crossing the
tracks they noticed the fast west
bound coast train bearing down upon
them at a tremendous speed. An at
tempt was made to back the horse up,
but theanimal was apparently para
lyzed with fear and refused to move.
Mrs. HEWITT jumped and escaped in
jury. Miss Kevitt was too frightened
to move and remained in the buggy
until the train smashed into it, when
she was hurled several feet, and to
safety. The horse was killed outright
and the buggy demolished. Save for
a few slight bruises on her left arm
the young lady was uninjured.
This coast train does not stop in
Sank Centre and the ladies did not re-
alize that it was time for it to pass
through town.
They are thanking their lucky stars
that they escaped alive and without
injury.
The Herald understands that no
blame is attached to the engineer as
he stopped his train as soon as posi-
BILE after he discovered the horse and
buggy on the track ahead of his en-

On last Thursday .Inez, the little
daughter of Aid. and Mrs. ]. A.
Brown awoke to realization that the
next time she had a birthday it would
take two figures to denote her age,
and she felt very old and dignified in
consequence. In. the afternoon, how
ever, when her Aunt Inez, Brown sent
her word that she wanted to see her
at the residence of her grandmother,
and when she arrived she found there
assembled Calvina and Heroine Rob
bers, Elizabeth Irish, Donna and Irene

Benson and Louisa Bergman she for
got her dignit, and they proceeded
to have the kind of a time that that
bunch can stir up. Dainty refresh
ments were served, games were play
ed, and the young Misses declared
that they had the best time ever and
they would be glad if 1nez had a
birthday every week.

BABY LOST FOR A DAY.

Holdingford, Aug. 1O.-Residents
of this village were given considerable
excitement Saturday and Sunday just
passed, by the disappearance of lit
tie 3-year-old boy. The babe is a son
of Mrs. Mary Gobernatz and disap-
peared Saturday morning, and wand
cred into the forest near his mothers
home. She gave the alarm and a
party of 80 men started search. They
went through the woods all Saturday
afternoon and night but were unable
to find any trace of the babe. Sunday
morning at o'clock the searching
party was increased to so, and after
four hours search the baby was found
lying under bush in semi-uncon-
scious condition. He was taken to
his heartbroken mother and today is
apparently no worse fro his very uni
que experience.

marks, the Tobey building, on Main

purchased by Moorhead parties, and
at the time it was announced that
they would erect a second motion pic

been abandoned. The Herald under
stands that the south room has been
rented to a gentleman who will estab-
lish an up-to-date bakery in the city.
The north room has been occupied
by the w. A. Moore Land Company
for several months, but they have
been compelled to vacate and are now
temporarily located in the Dubois
building on lower Main street. "Billy'

permanent ground floor quarters, how

The six county fairs which have or

only economical, but makes possible
the securing of stronger attractions
for the fair than would be possible

will mean better racing because of
short hauls, and a higher grade of
amusement features for each attrac-

The sale of season tickets will
start at once. The auto will be on the

your tickets early because the price
will advance. one-third after the fair
