Richards AGAIN in Tolls.

DeS MONIES, March Z.-Willl
("BillO Richards, aged 50, who serv-
ed twenty years as deputy United
States marshal for the southern dis.
trict of Iowa and is now on parole
from the state penitentiary where he
was sentenced to serve an eighteen
year term, last night at o'clock, was
arrested by Officers Mccarthy and
Riley. Later he was identified by
Mrs. Fl. b. La Fore as one of three
masked men who entered her home
and at the point of gun commanded
her to be silent while the other two
searched the house. After a struggle
Mrs. La Fore made her escape and
ran to the police station. A squad of
police was sent to the scene. Rich
ards was fleeing from the officers who
had entered the place when he ran
into Riley, who covered him with his
gun and placed him under arrest. At
the station Richards admitted to be.
ing one of the members of the party
which entered the apartment, but re-
fused to reveal the identity of his ac-
completes. When searched Richards
was found to have two caps and a hat
in his possession. 1t is thought that
these were to be used by the men in
an effort to avoid suspicion. Rich
ards was also found to be carrying a
revolver. Richards, with man
named Baird, was sentenced to serve
eighteen years in the penitentiary af-
ter being convicted of the attempted
robbery of a man named Sullivan
near Indianola several years ago. In
this case it was shown that Richards
had knowledge OF $4,000 which Sulli-
van had concealed in his home. When
the latter refused to reveal the hid
| ing place they removed his shoes and
stockings and tortured him by plac.
! ing a burning lamp under his bare
feet. Sullivan remained firm and as
the two were leaving the house shot
! Baird, infliCtinG a serious injury.
Richards was Appreciated while en-
deavoring 10 gain some knowledge of
his accomplice's condition. Baird
turned states evidence and was soon
paroled. Efforts on the part of Rich
ards friends gained him parole after
he had served six year.
The police today say Richards is
the leader OF a gang OF burglars i'm
plicated in the attempted robbery OF
the state treasury and numerous post
offices and banks around the state.

SuuaretoWn.

The name 'SquaretoWn" has been
heard in designation of Adelaide, the
capital of the state of South Australia.
When that colony was projected it
was established to the utmost detail
on paper before the colonists set sail
from England The capital was laid
out upon surveyors drawing board,
and all that remained to do on landing
was to find a fat piece of ground on
which to drive the stakes. Adelaide is
composed of four areas, mile in each
dimension, these areas being parted by
two streets of noble width. Quite
around the city extends a park land
a mile in width, and this is maintained
as a perpetual reserve upon which the
only encroachments are such wholly
public establishments as government
house, parliament house and botanic
gardens on the north terrace, the re-
mainder being maintained as park and
recreation grounds.-New York Sun.

A GENERAL SURVEY OF
The WAR.

Wednesday, Sept. 3o.-The turning
movement directed against the Ger
man right wing by the allied armies
is developing rapidly. 1t is declared
that a vigorous assault on Tracy-le-
Mont was repulsed with heavy losses
to the Germans. Paris also reports
slight progress has been made be-
tween the Argonne region and the
Neuse and that the allies have adj
vanced east of st. Mihiel.
The Germans have begun lombard
ing the forts surrounding AntT~"r;
Russian assaults in the goycznr, e|7lt
of Suwalki, Russian Poland, have fail
ed, 1T is declared
Petrograd reports that a fierce en-
gagement between the armies Of Gen.
Rennenkampf and Gen. Won linden
burg has continued since Sunday
morning along a line extending from
Grodno to Druskeniki, on the Nieman
river
Thursday, Oct. 1.-Slight advances
by both wings OF the allied armies are
Indicated in an official statement is
sued by the French war office. The
general situation is described as un-
changed.
Berlin reports the allies have been
repulsed at Albert and that the Ger
man attack in Argonne is advancing
slowly.
Nothing is known of the progress of
fighting in the eastern theater of the
war. A dispatch FROM Petrograd says
that a German squadron bombarded
Win6au, a Russian seaport in the Bal
tic.
Friday-0ct. 3.-The turning move
mem of the allied armies in northern
France has brought the extreme of
their left wing within about thirty
miles of the Belgian frontier
A terrific struggle is going on in
the region of Roye where the Germans
are attempting to break through the
allies lines.
The expected battle between the
Russians and the allied armies of
Germany and Austria at Cracow has
begun
The attack on Sarajevo by Servians
has begun.
Saturday, Oct. 3.-French and Ger
man reports agree that the flirting
on the western end of the battle line
in northern France continues without
decisive advantage to either side.
The French war office says the al
lies have repulsed all German attacks
on the left wing and that slow prog
ress is being made by the allies in the
Woevre and Argonne districts.
Reports from the eastern area are
conflicting. The Russians report sue
cesses in East Prussia. On the other
hand it is asserted that the German
army has made a serious invasion on
the Cars troops and that an import
ant engagement along the River Me
man is imminent.
A great battle is being fought at
Cracow with no decisive results as yet.
Sunday, Oct. An the battle in
France the German attacks on the
French left wing have been repulsed.
In tie center there is nothing worthy
Of mention as far as Argonne. In the
Argonne the Germans were driven to-
ward the north. On the right wing
the condition remains about the same.
The Russians won a great victory
over the Germans at Augustow who
are retreating toward the East Prus-
sian frontier.
The Russian armies are everywhere
On the offensive. General Rennen-
