DAYS DEVELOPMENTS IN EUROPEAN WAR

Beyond the fact that the allied French, British and Belgian forces are taking the offensive, little has been made public regarding the oper- ations in Belgium and northern France. The French official commun- ication says that the Germans are particularly active in the region of Ypres, but that they have achieved nothing and that everywhere else on the Aisne the allies are holding the ground. To the northwest of Soissons, sowever, the allies have made a rath- CT notable progress in gaining the Vezgany plateau, on which they had not previously been able to gain a foothold.
 In the eastern field of the war, ac- cording to all official reports, the Rus sians have made decided progress against the Germans and Austrians, and Russian cavalry have penetrated German territory. Likewise the Rus sians have driven back the rear guards of the Austrian forces along the Nida river in Poland and in Cali cia are carrying out strong offen- sive movement which is indicated by the official report that they have cap tured more than 12,000 soldiers, in- cluding 125 officers, in recent engage ments on the San river. A newspa- per dispatch estimates that about g., 000,000 Austrian and German troops are on the line from Cracow to Thorn in East Prussia.

Drastic Justice.

Mexican methods with prisoners of war-the take no prisoners" order recall the short and sharp justice meted out to the communists in the Paris of the '70s. Sir William Butler in An Autobiography" tells of a visit to the prison of La Roquette: We were shown into a small courtyard by a young naval lieutenant, who coolly explained to us the processes of the trial and execution of the communists. We strip their right shoulders,' he said. If the skin of the neck and shoulder shows the dark mark pro- duced by the kick of the chassepot rife the court pronounces the single word "classe;" if there is no mark of discoloration on the shoulder the pres ident says "passe" and the man is re- leased. Those to whom "classe" is said are shot. One hundred and fifty were shot at daybreak this morning in the courtyard.

The glad tidings that his mother-in-law had arrived in town reached Ike just as he was about to swallow a glass of beer. His agitation was extreme. His home life was bad enough before, but after the mother arrived it was an inferno. To get moments respite from persecu- tion, Ike doped the coffee with sleeping potion. When his wife and mother-in-law were deep in the land of dreams, he dragged the latter to a haystack and covered her with hay. Had not the effect of the dope worn off a serious calamity probably would have resulted

Arrested But
Escapes Trial

Wesley Barth. a young man EN-
ployed last summer on the Fountain
ranch in this Valley, was arrested at
Lake Valley last week upon war
rant issued by the Nevada Cattle
mems Association, for horse stealing
He was taken to Carson and later to
Dayton, where the district attorney
of Lyon ccounty refused to prosecute
the case upon the evidence at hand.
Last summer branded horse dis
appeared from the Simpson ranch In
in Smith Valley and the owner heard
no more of the animal until this
spring when a yaquero informed him
that the horse was on ranch in
this Valley. Investigating the case
Mr.. Simpson found that the horse
had been advertised by Barth, not in
accordance with the law, however,
but claimed ownership through the
estray law. Barth sold the horse to
ID. Fountain.
Mr.. Simpson wonld not believe
that his horse had crossed the range
into this Valley and with other cir
enmstances in his possession. turned
the case over to the Nevada Cattle
mems Association, of which he is
member and the arrest of the young
man followed.
Barth claims that he caught the
horse in the Pine Nut country and
at the time believed the animal to be
a wild mustang Later he discover
that the horse was branded and ad-
vertised the animal as an estray
claimed ownership gy the procedure
and sold the horse. When Barth
brought the estray notice to this Of
flee, he was informed that there
were other steps necessary besides
the publication of a notice, but he re-
fused to follow out the law i'm the
case claiming that it was not nee
essary. The notice was published in
this paper as he directed
The prosecution had no evidence
supporting the claim that Barth had
stole the horse and the case against
him was dismissed.
by his admission Barth had no
claim to the horse. Upon finding
the animal was branded it was his
duty to have returned the animal to
the range where he claimed to have
caught him. The law does not per-
nit of rounding up branded horses on
the range and then claiming them
through the estray law.
In another part of this paper will
be found the law which governs the
taking up of estray animals 1t will
be we'll worth remembering. in that
complications may be avoided by
those having to deal with estray
animals.
