ment by shooting his wife. claiming al

kimono she was wearing.
The arrest was caused by Mrs. Floyd
Carter. who discovered the whereabouts
OF her husband and his friends last
night. She reported it to Police Office
Harmon. Harmon entered the front
door and Mrs. Carter stooS guard in
the rear. Special Of1cer Gaines aided
in the arrest of the parties.
It is said that the police have been
watching the place at COS Kansas ave-
nue. for some time. suspecting that
something was wrong. Today Mrs.
Carter told County Attorney w. E.
Atchison that her husband had been
selling liquor at their home at 1904 Kan
sas avenue. The Battles woman fur
nished bond Of $500. Carter and Mrs.
Wolff furnished $500 bonds and Lance
paid a fine of SIS assessed against him.
Three watches and other articles were
found on Carter and he says they were
won while he was conducting a poker

Where Fight Was Hottest.
Some of the hottest fighting Of the
prolonged battle took place around the
beautiful old chateau of Mondement. on
a hill six miles east Of Sezanne. This
relic Of re architectural art Of Louis
XIV occupied a position which both
sides regarded as strategically impor-
tant. To the east it looked down into a
mense Greek lamp with the concealed
marshes Of Saint Sond at the bottom.
Beyond are the downs and heaths OF
Epernay, Rheims and Champagne,
while the heights Of Argonne stand out
boldly in the distance.

out in a terrific assault and then the
French GUNS were brought to bear, fol-
lowed by hand-to-hand fighting on the
gardens and lawns Of the chateau. and
even through the preached walls. The
French again held the building for a
few hours. only to retire before an
other determined German attack. On
the fourth day they swept the Germans
out again with shell fire. under which

matter of ammunition and war mate

ing such ammunition. These paniers
are carefully constructed of wicker and
hold three shells in exactly fitting tubes
SO there can be no movements.
The villages Of Dyes, Villanueve, Cha
tillon and So;zy-Aux-Bois were all de
stroyed. Some fantastic capers were
played by the shells, such as blowing
away half house and leaving the
other half intact; going through a win

damaging the interior. or going a few
inches into the wall and remaining fast
without exploding.
