Officials Glue Lie
To Russian Claims of Victory

New York. Sept. 21.-Dr. Konstan-
tine Duba, Austrian ambassador to the
United States issued the following
statement:
II am compelled to protest most
emphatically against the false reports
sent via London from Rome. Milan,
Geneva, Copenhagen and st. Peters
burg about the Austrian campaign in
Russian Poland and Galicia.
What in reality happened is this:
The Austro-H Hungarian troops had
from the beginning to wage in eastern
Galioia q defensive war against great
odds. After repeated engagements.
they fell back on their strong line of
defense under the protection Of the
first class fortress of Przemysl. The
advance Of our northern and central
army to Lublin and to the River Bug,
although finally checked and repulsed,
achieved it's end to arrest the progress
of q huge Russian army In the direc-
ton OF Thorn and Breslau and to re-
lieve the enormous pressure brought
TO Dear by Rennenkampffs army on
two or three German army corps left
to defend eastern Prussia. Here the
Russian invasion recently resulted In
defeat and disaster.
"As to the central Russian army,
with the fortress OF Brest Litowsk to
lean on, its onslaught on the Prussian
provinces OF Silesia and Posen is far
from imminent, as the Polish terri
tory on the left bank of the Vtstula

IS INFLUENCE BEHIND
CONTEST AT MITCHELL
Attempt to Promote Commission
Rlan Due to Fight Against
Present Officers.

Mitchell. S. d., Sept. 19.-while there
has been little said on the ouJside about
the basic reasons for tho agitation
started here for the commission form OF
government. local citizens understand
quite well that the attempt OF the pres
ent city officials TO bring the Dakota
Central Telephone company to terms
Is the principal element In the case. A
considerable amount of feeling is being
injected into the contest.
on an untrammeled issue the ma
jority Of Mitchell citizens would be
strong for the commission plan, but
there are a large number who vii
bulk on allowing this issue to be used
as a mere pretext to discredit the pres
ent city officials.
The Dakota Central Telephone COM
pany attempted to enforce a heavy
raise in service rates here ancut the
same time that their franchise rights
expired. On account OF the company's
attitude the citizens refuse to vote
q new franchise and the officials or
dered the company 20 remove Its poles
and wires. Thos order was resisted
and still is in court. The citizens OF
Mitchell followed up this proceeding by
voting bonds to build a municipal tele-
phone plant, hut the company has beer
holding up this action by injunction
proceedings.

night OF bull dogs has been scheduled
TO take place here tomorrow. 1t is be-

the result OF a visit to Kinlhall by q
man named 0'Brien, who Is the owner
Of a bull dog with q long lighting rec
ord. He offered to. bet $50 that his
bull dog could whip any animal OF its

OFFICERS INTERFERE WITH
PAIR or BLENDED HEARTS

Alexandria. s. D., Sept. 21.-The love
affairs OF ]. l. Chesser. who resides on
a Miner county farm, did not run
smoothly. Yesterday, a hard-hearted
sheriff stepped in and took Chesser
and HIS bride t. be into custody as
they were trying TO get married.
The girl In the case Is h daughter
OF a neighbor to Chesser, and her par
ents objected to her marriage because
she has not yet reached a marrtageable
age, and for the further reason thai
Chesser Is about 45 years OF age. For
some time he has been infatuated with
the girl.
Chesser appeared e have sufficient
influence over the girl to induce her to
leave her home and proceed with him
to Howard, where they ~endeayored TO
procure a license 20 marry. This was
refused them because the girl was un-
der age and did not have her parents
consent. as is required by the state
law in such cases.
Chesser and the girl h went TO
Hanson county. but the officers there
had been advised by the sheriff or
Miner county to be on the lookout for
the clippers. When arrested Chesser
had Just been denied a marriage IL
cense Of the Hanson county clerk OF
courts on the same ground as such de-
NAL had been made In Miner county.
Chesser and the girl were taken back
to Miner county by the sheriff.
