RIFLE RANGE
 OPENS FEB. A
Two Trophies to Be Con- tested for on the Occasion of New Range Receiving Baptism of Fire on Ad- mission Day

Two splendid trophies will be the prizes up for the contestants who will participate in the opening shoot over the splendid new rifle range that has been erected near this city by the Ma tional Guard authorities recently for the use of the militia companies of this city and the other cities of the valley. It is also to be used by the rifle teams that are organized here, as it is the full belief of the military experts that the promotion of rifle practice is pat riotic act. But aside from any sort of philosophical discussion upon rifle practice, be it known that this gem of a range is to be christened on Admis- sion Day. Actually it will receive it's baptism of fire at that time.
 The range is built for various dis tance fires, ana in order that practice may be had in both middle and long distances the match will in addition to it's other events, have four principal events. These will be rapid fire at 200 and 300 yards, five shots to a man, without sighting shots allowed. The slow fire will be over the 500 and 600
  will be allowed each contestant
 The First Infantry band will be on hand to change the din to the ear oc- casonally. and quite a galaxy of pro- minent Phoenicians and Arizonans will be present also. It is rumOred that Governor Hunt will shoot the first shot over the range.
 Of the two trophies one is to be gwen by the Board of Trade, and will be known as the Phoenix cup. Invitations are being sent out by the Board of Trade to all the rifle clubs in the state to attend. and a large delegation of out of town rifle experts are expected. The second trophy is the Phoenix Rifle Club medal. which will be given by the local rifle club.
 The two teams that have already been chosen to compete on that day will be known as the presidents and vice presidents team and are composed as follows:

SEWER TAP
GRANTED
Council Will Permit Govern
ment to Run Pipe to Vir-
ginia Street Main.

The Council met Friday night
in regular session. Ringing Bros.
asked that the 500 license for a
street parade be RENTED, but this
was not agreed to.
Supervising Architect Emmert APP
peared and ASKED to be given per-
mission in perpetuity for a sewer to
run from the government bJilding
down the south edge of Ninth street
to Virginia so as to tap the sewer
main at the intersection of Ninth
and Virginia. The cause of this is
that in figuring on the sewer con-
nection for the postoffice building
the report made to the government
architects was wrong in that it
showed the Ninth street sewer main
to be foot and a half lower than it
really is. Consequently the build
ing was planned on this basis and it
is now impossible to connect with
the main directly in front of the
building as had been expected. In
order to get the necessary fall for
the sewer it is figured it must go to
Ninth and Virginia before the con-
nection is made.
Practically all of the time was
given to this matter and the city
attorney was instructed to prepare
an ordinance granting the permits
sion.
The meeting was held with only 6
members present, less than a quor-
UNI. In third class cities the Coun-
ell must have II members and five
new members to put it ON a third
class basis have never been elected
and the entire membership of seven
constitutes a quorum. This is the
first time the Council has been short

1t is reported from Berlin that the,
Austrians have succeeded in driving
the Russians out of Marmaros, and
that of the immense invading army
which entered Hungary only 1000
now remain. Both sides report the
inactivity at present existing in the

quarries the French General called
for 800 Turco volunteers. During
the night the Algerians, discarding
their rifles, crept in with bayonets
between their teeth and sur
prised the Germans, of whom only 8
escaped.
The number of spies in the war
zone seems undiminished and there
are frequent executions, particular
ly in the east. Recently a German
colonel and captain appeared in the
French camp dressed in the uniforms
of privates, They said they had been
separated from their regiments and
requested to be permitted to serve
at the front in another command.
They replied without accent to all
questions put to them and their
identity was revealed only when they
claimed to know the commander of
the regiment to which they had ap-
piled for service. They said they had
seen him at certain place, but the
commander having not been there,
the spies were forced to reveal their
identity. They were shot.
Paris reports that while occasional
impotence is manifested at the lack
of decisive news, Parisians have
come to realize that the battles have
been transformed into veritable
seiges with their comparatively slow
operations. Even after the battle
from Dunkirk to Belfort is decided
army officers are looking forward to
still another ssige.
1t will be in the extreme north that
important events in all probability
will be recorded.
Berlin says all signs indicate a
change is impending in the struggle
in northern France, where for weeks
the hostile armies have faced each
other in such strongly entrenched
positions that neither has been able
to advance except at enormous cost.
Petrograd reports ION the front in
East Prussia and on the Vistula there
is nothing new to report. Austrian
attempts to cross the San river have
failed. South of Przemysl the fight
ing continues. At several points
there were bayonet attacks in which
we captured fifteen Austrian officers
and more than a thousand soldiers.
Austrian reinforcements are re-
ported in the passes of the Carpa-
thians."

Fight in Dense Fog.

During a dense fog which over
hung the battle line, hindering OPP
erations on both sides, a section of
French infantry recently made a dash
on the Germans on the Somme river,
surprised the men in the trenches
and annihilated their first line with
the bayonet.
The Frenchmen pursued their adj
vantage, but fell into the hands of a
reserve battalion of German infan-
try, who captured all of them. The
f g thickened and prevented the
Germans from moving and they
formed hollow square around the
prisoners to await the clearing of the
atmosphere.
The Germans then bipouacked and
silence reigned until a voice rang out
from among the prisoners, to the
guns, comrades" every Frenchman
rushing to the stacks of guns, the
butts or which could be seen beneath
the fog. The German commander
and dozen men standing guard
tried to resist the French, but fell
under their own bayonets and the
entire German battalion dazed by
the onslaught, surrendered. The
French took them back to the French
lines after the fog lifted.

From the Battle Front, Oct. l9.-
What in previous wars would have
been called great battles were fought
Sunday on the eastern wing OF the
fighting line stretching from the Bel
gian coast to Switzerland. In this
great battle of nations, however.
these fights are regarded merely as
incidents. Fighting has always been
of the most fierce nature in this dis
trict owing to the strenuous efforts OF
the Germans to obtain possession of
the strong fortresses of Verdun, Toul
and Epinal to open way from Metz
into France.
Saint Die, on the Murthe, 80 miles
northeast of Epinal, was the center
of the attacks which resulted in a re-
pulse for the Germans with heavy
casualties. The borders of both Al
SAGE and Lorraine also felt the shock
of the battle and in Vosges the FAM
Gus French Alpine regiments were in
contact with the German columns.
