Appalling-Fight Over

tE.As:r, = / !:

Striving to make its victory SC
complete as to eliminate Autsrla as
factor of war, two million Russians
at dawn resumed their attack upon
the army of Franz Josef and the
bloodiest battle of modern times is
reported along a 800 mile line from
the Dneister river to Prussia.
After seven days of fierce fighting
the Austrion army is being dn7ven
further back ard from Rome Vienna
and St. Petersburg come reports OF
q great Russian victory.
The Cars forces are reported to
have occupied Lemberg the capital OF
Austrian Galfcia and it is said that
entire brigades of the defenders have
been annihilated.
From St. Petersburg comes ad
mission that the Germans have been
victorious in East Prussia but the
war office minimizes the defeat and
announces that no strong attempt is
being made to advance the lines IN
the north until after the Austrians
have been completely crushed.
DISPATCHES from London tell of the
victorious advance of Russia against
the Austrians ans indicate that with
in twenty four hours the defeat will
be decisive and the defenders in com
plete rout.
Russian advices assert that the pre-
arranged plans of the general staff
are being carried to the letter and
that following the utter defeat OF
Austria the massed millions of the
Car will begin resistless advance
upon Berlin.
On one scene all accounts agree. The
loss of life on both sides has been
appalling and the battle may 60 down
in history as the boodiest the world
has ever Known -
Berlin Gecnares that the Russian
advance has been checked and that
the enemy has been thrown back in
several places with enormous losses.
Rome Sept 2.-Dispatches received
here from Vienna say that the great
battle in which three million men are
engaged on a front of more than 900
miles in north Galicia and east Prus
sia today reached the heighth of its
fury
Today marked the seventh day of
what is claimed the greatest battle in
the history of the world. The battl.
line according to the dispatches eX
tends from Prussia to the Dneister
river.

- DISTRESSING ACCIDENT
Fourteen Year Old Girl Killed When
Graspcd Live Wire

Mount Airy Va. Sept. 2-There
was distressing accident Monday
afternoon about 6, o'clock when May
the fourteen year old ,5aughter of JOS
eph Cassidy was instantly killed by
coming in contact with a live wire
that had fallen OH the street an hour
before. The accident occurred On
South street in front Of the Cassidy
residence and in an effort to rescue
his daughter Mr.. Cassidy had mar
row escape from death.
An electric wire crossing South
street had broken and fallen to the
ground and the girl for some reason
undertook to pick up the dangerous
wire. When she grasped the wire
1900 volts of electricity passed
.through her body and in the excite
rment which followed her father seiz-
ed the girl and received terrible
shock. A physician soon reached the
scene and rendered the father aid
but the girl was beyond help.
It's not known just how long the
wire had been. detached from the
poles or what possessed the girl tc
grasp the wire for it seems that sew
eral men had warned the crowd OF
children in. the street against touch
ing it.

F ootball Boys
Will Soon Have
Fine New Coats

Through the efforts of M. A. Eb-
right, who is ever good friend to
athletics and athletes the boys of
the Redwood Falls football team will
appear soon in new maroon macki-
naws, each decorated with a large
white initial.
Mr.. Ebright, who went to Monte
vedio with the boys Saturday, noticed
the Redwood team was a bit deficient
in the matter of warm coats, so early
Monday morning he visited the BUSH
ness men and had soon persuaded
twenty of them to each buy a macki-
nav. There was no hesitation on the
part of the business people who be-
lieve that the advertising the team
is giving the town is deserving some
reward.
The following men and business
houses contributed to the mackinaw
fund, each giving the purchase price
of one coat: NJ. A. Ebright, Gales
and Schildknecht. A. D. McRae, w.
B. Clement, Pease and Finn, Jaeh-
ming Bros, Rud. Stensvad, A. S.

Dolliff, c. E. Lamberton, Kuenzli and
Luscher, State Bank, Lauterbach Bros,
G. E. Larson, Ira Reynolds, W. A.
Brand, Hubbard and Davis.
1t is understood each boy of the
team said special prayer for Mr..
Ebright while at his devotionals last
night; it is also understood that these
prayers sounded suspiciously like
three cheers.

College concerning an honor recently
conferred upon Miss Viola Gaffney and
Miss Clara Honetschlager, through
their receiving an election to the
Alethean Literary Society of that in
stitution. With the recent increase
in attendance at Cornell, the number
of girls seems to be greater than can
easily be accommodated in the four
literary societies, and it is considered
a real honor to secure membership.
The literary societies at Cornell
are the center of social, literary, and
musical life, outside the classrooms,
and are among the oldest and best
known of such organizations in the
west.

County Boards
Chairman Resigns
c. H. Frederickson of Morgan District
Disagrees With Other Members
on County Road Building

c. H. Fredericksen, county commits
sioner from the Morgan district, re-
signed from the county board at a
special road meeting held at the court
house last Tuesday. Mr.. Frederick
SEN had served for some time as chair
man of the board.
The trouble leading to Mr.. Fred
ericksen's resignation arose from the
passage of resolution by other mem
bers of the board recommending the
building of two roads under the Ell
we'll law. Mr.. Frederiksen took ex-
ception to the issuance of bonds for
this purpose. The petition for the
building of the road had been pres
ented to the Commissioners at their
meeting September "a, but because
of Mr.. Frederiksen's opposition, had
been tabled until the special meeting
last Tuesday. The roads under dis
cussion were not in Mr.. Frederiksen's
district.
MIR. FrederlkSen'S successor has not
been appointed yet. Under the state
law, this appointment for an unex-
pired term, is made by the presidents
of the village councils and the chair
men of the town boards in the, COM
missioner district Several candidates
have already announced themselves.

LYLE Robbins
Meets Death By
Contact With Wire
Young Man ElectrOcuted While At
Work With Soldering Machine
Saturday Afternoon
FUNERAL SERVICES YESTERDAY
Victim of Accident Is Survived By
Wife And Two Little Daughters;
Many Relatives Here

Lyle Robbins, senior member of the
Scenic City Canning Company, was
electrocuted while at work with an
electric soldering machine at the can
merry last Saturday afternoon. In some
way Mr.. Robbins came in contact with
a live. wire and death followed in
stantly.
Funeral services were held at the
Christian Church Monday afternoon
at three o'clock, Rev. Grover Schur-
man, pastor of the church, reading the
service. The ladies quartette sang
during the service. Interment was
made in the Redwood cemetery.
Mr.. Robbins was twenty-six years
and nine months old at the time of
his death. He is survived by his wife,
formerly Miss Abbie Leavens, and two
daughters, aged four and one years.
He is also survived by his father and
two sisters living at Creswell, Ore,
a sister, Mrs. John Cole of Crosby,
Mimi, a younger sister, Minnie, liv-
ing with Mr.. and Mrs. Knowlton of
Fairmont, and two brothers, Wayne
of Minneapolis and Elden, who was
associated in business with his broth
er here. Mr.. and Mrs. Gordon, two
of Redwood Falls most respected resi-
dents, were the grandparents of Mr..
Robbins, with whom he at one time
made his home.
Mrs. Cole, Wayne Robbins and Min
ME Knowlton were present at the
burial of their brother. Mr. and Mrs.
Dan Knowlton of Fairmont and Mr..
and Mrs. Gordon of Watertown, uncles
and aunts of Mr. Robbins, were also
here. Mr.. Robbins had always been
an earnest and hard worker in the
Christian Church, in which he was a
deacon. His loss will be keenly felt
in all activities of the church and es-
pecially in the Endeavor Society and
in the Sunday School, where he was
the leader of large class of boys.
In the church and in the city where
he was known as an energetic young
business man of high integrity and
good principles, Mr.. Robbins had
many warm friends to whom his death
means a great loss. His bereaved
wife and children and the aged grand
parents have the sincere sympathy
Of the community in their great loss.

Donald PettiS Is

Injured at Ten O'clock And Still I'm

Hours Later

Donald Pettis, who is employed by
Harry Mortimer on his farm west
of Redwood Falls, met with a mys-
ferrous injury last Thursday. He was
sent out to pillow with gang pillow
In the morning and when he failed to
return for dinner search was made.
Mrs. Mortimer was at home alone
with her little daughter, who was SER
iously i'll with pneumonia, and it was
some time before Mr.. DeGroat, a

neighbor, could be reached. He final
ly found Mr.. Pettis lying unconscious
beside the pillow in the field. He was
bleeding profusely from wound in
the mouth, which tore his lip in two,
cacked his upper jaw, and four teeth
were loosened.
1t was not know at the time wheth-
er a horse had kicked the victim or
whether the pillow had struck stone,
but the latter theory is probably the
correct one.
Mr.. Pettis says he remembers moth
ing that occurred after 10 o'clock in
the morning. He was not found un-
til about P. NJ. He was removed
to the Mortimer residence and doctors
were summoned who gave him medi-
cal and surgical treatment. At this
time he is up and on the mend, but
is unable to account for the accident.
1t was found that he had struck a
stone, but it was about quarter of
a mile from where he was found un-
conscious. It is considered remark
able that the team did not run away.
