The only witnesses who claimed
to Know anything about the case
were the negroes who were in the

Of many in the court room who

feet that there was an appearance
of a frame-up against Faust and
that the guilty one was among the
coterie of negroes in the canning
room who had banded together and
placed the charge against Faust.
This ease has occupied the atten-
ton Of the court but day and a
half and the jury was selected with
in a reasonable time. The jury was

dehce early yesterday. The evidence
was all in by 2:30 o'clock in the

Tho members of the Cairo High
School football team are resting
quietly this morning prior TO their
championship game today at Bridge

2 80 o'clock with the Vienna team.
The Cairoites received their last in

Smith, Swoboda, Rink, Curry, Will
hanson, Schoembs, Wunderlich,
Gibson aud Westerman, all of whom
have done great work for Cairo dur
ing the last season will play their
last game together this afternoon.
Most OF this number have roceiv-
., their athletic training during the
last three seasons, under the dircc-
tion of their present coach, Mr.

of time. When the Cairo boys leave
the gridiron today it will be the
closing Of an athletic epoch In the
history OF the local H. s. team. Other
teams may have produced more
stars but it is doubtful whether airy
other bunch of men in the history

against strong odds, as the group Of

years in Cairo and with an ever vic

the largest one to witness such
contest in Cairo in years.

Associated Press.


London, Nov. 24.---While the Rus
sian army quarters remain silent, the
Germans claim to have checked the
attempt on the part OF the Russians
TO take the offensive. The report In
pe;rograd has shown full confidence
in the unofficial report Of the Rus
sian viceory in North Poland.
It is said at the Russian capital
that the victory was greater than
had been reported previously and
there is talk in Petyograd OF the en-
tire German army corps having been
broken up.
Reports received there say trains
have been ordered which Will accom-
modate $4,000 wounded and prison
erc.
In East Prussia and in the line
before Cracow the Germans have
brought the Russian advance TO a
stor.
Probably the mcst significant
lieco of news regarding the Rus
SLAMS IS from Budapest, where It is
admitted that the Russian troops
have invaded Hungary and reached
the county of Ung which is about
35 miles from the Carpathians.

Germans made an attack, the Ger
mans were repulsed and they asked
for an armistice which was refused.
The fighting in the western theater
of war still continues, TO large ex-

dence, however, that the Germans
contemplate another desperate ef-
fort TO get through to the French
coast ports. '"~smEWa

way of Holland, says the Germans
are bringing up rein forcaments and
guns, but so closely is the secret
guarded there is no indication as to

hsve such unlimited supplies.
The allies have made every prepa-
ration to meet the assault. at the
same time preparations have been
completed for the defense Of the
Last Coast of England for il is the
opinion held here THAI if the Ger
mains fail in their latest plan they
will atatempt to raid on England
with warships ard transports for
which the German submarines are
trying to prepare the way.
There is considerable diplomatic
activity in the Balkans and import
ant developments are expected soon.
II is considered in Official circles
here that with the Austrian army on
her soil, Ser,ia will be more likely
TO listen to the demand of Bulgaria
for slice of Macedonia as the price
Of her support. There is talk OF ar
rangements between Roumania and
Bulgaria in fact a reorganization Of
the Balkan lea g7ie which would
bring all Of the Balkan states on the
