WOMEN WARRIORS.
One That Was Maeeys neroine IN Spite
Of Herself.

! OF SJSt3etts
There are few countries that have
not at one time or another had women
soldiers in their ranks-either in dis
guise or openly accepted despite their
sex. England. France and Germany
have all had military heroines. Ger
many. which additionally demands Of
its women only softness and domestic
ity. has nevertheless had Its full share
One Of them, Eieonore Prochaska. had
saved her wages as a cook to buy her
mans equipment. In. her last battle.
when storming some heights. under
heavy fire. she snatched a drum from
q fallen Frenchman and beat the
charge as she advanced.
"You can sew. cook. wash, sing and
shoot better than any of u.s." said the
comrade at her side admiringly. land
now it seems you can drum too!'
A moment later she was MORALLY
wounded. AS she fell she called to the
nearest officer. with a dying fash Of
pride and humor:
Lieutenant, I'm girl!'
Another girl. Anna Luhring. only
eighteen. was traced and claimed by
her father after she had enlisted. but
her captain refused to dismiss so fine
soldier.
A young dressmaker. Sophia Kruger,
who made her own uniform before en-
listing. won the Iron Cross for bravery.
Maria Werder. farmers wife. sew
ed. undiscovered. with her husband and
was promoted to be a sergeant, al.
though he remained private.
An amusing contrast to these genu-
ineiy gallant women Is afforded by
Johanna Stegen. who quite. by acci-
dent won a reputation for heroism.
She and a companion. Caroline Berger,
were caught by chance in the fighting
lines at the battle OF ,Luneberg: Caro-
line fed to what cover she could find,
tore off her apron and began bindiH g
the hurts Of the wounded who had
crawied there also.
Johanna, spying heap Of cartridges.
tore off her apron also and began TO
ill it. for she mistook them for rouleaux
Of coin. A passing officer supposed
naturally she was carrying ammu4f-
ton to the front and gave her orders
where to take it. orders which she
dared not disobey. Apronfui after
apronful of cartridges she carried-and
the next day found herself acclaimed
a heroine! II
Her apron was. tied to staff, and
borne proudly at the head Of the sregi-
ment. Men cheered her, the king
praised her. and she sat at his right
hand at banquet. Later she married
and was lionized by the fashionable
ladies of Berlin.-London Taller.

che idea of q title page did not .oc-
cur to the carr prs.lisa 1.-The books
started straight off with 'Incipit OF

named Therhoernen about 147O. but it
was not generally adopted until fifty
years later. The early punctuation

Provo Tries 10 Win BY Sharp Prac.

Last Friday American Fork went to
Provo TO play one of the league base

a great bust up. Provo, following an
old practice peculiar to itself, tried
to job the visitors and when Mana
ger Varney got next to- their game,
and the decisions OF the empire be-
came unbearably raw in the eighth
inning, he promptly called the game
of. The umpire awarded the game
to Provo. but Varney took his case
up to the President of the County
League, who annulled the decision.
Keetch of Pleasant Grove, should
have been the official umpire, but
when the time arrived for the game
no umpire was present Masters,
manager of the Provo team, stated
that keetch refused TO come and sug-
gested a Provo man, Finally Varney
consented to go ahead with the gume,
but when he saw that the umpire was

Blood Relation Case is Settled
4 Property Right Question OF MucL
Importance Has Been Settled b.
Judge Morgan IN the District Court

A decision handed down by Judge
Morgan In the Jedediah Eldredge Els
tate case last week terminates a long
contested fight that has been waged
by the heir of the half-blood for al
equal share with those OF the whole
blood OF the estate of their deceased
brother. The law of this state pro-
vides that heirs of the half-blood in
herit equally with those of the whole
blood In the same degree, unless the
inheritance comes to the intestate by
by descent, devise or gift OF some one
ancestor, in which case all those who
are not OF the blood OF such ancestor
are excluded from such inheritance.
The heirs of the whole blood contend
ed that the deceased had obtained o
large portion of his property by gift
from his mother. The court decided
that the evidence did not sufficiently
sustain this contention and ordered
the estate to be divided equally among
all the heirs. The estate Is valued APP
proximately at $4,000 and will be
distributed to the following heirs
Esther Merrill and Daniel Eldredge OF
Arizona. and Horace Eldredge OF
Idaho, and Mary Huggard and the
heirs of Anne Il, Huggard of this city
