Victor. Colo.-In the presence OF her
three small children, Mrs. Fred d.
Trott, age thirty, shot her husband, a
bartender, through the body at their
home in Goldfield. Trott was oper-
ated upon at the Red Cross hospital
in this city Immediately after the
shooting, but physicians cannot state
whether he will live Self-defense is
the motive given by Mrs. Trott.
After the shooting Trott requested
that his wife be taken in charge by
the city marshal and not placed under
arrest SO that she might care for the
three children. His request was
granted. Trott is a bartender at the
Corner" saloon, in Goldfield.
From all the facts that can be gath
cred at this time, it appears that Trott
had been in the habit of beating his
wife furiously on various occasions
and that the woman, in order to pro-
tect herself, was compelled to resort
to the use of revolver for defense.
Sentiment in Goldfield strongly favors
the case of Mrs. Trott. Sympathy in
her behalf is outspoken by almost
everybody.

THE DOCTORS WIFE
Agrees With Him About Food.

A trained nurse says: "In the prac-
tice of my profession have found SO
many points in favor Of Grape-Nuts
food that unhesitatingly recommend
1t to all my patients.
1T is delicate and pleasing to the
palate Gan essential in food for the
sick) and can be adapted to all ages,
being softened with milk or cream for
babies or the aged when deficiency OF
teeth renders mastication impossible.
For fever patients or those on liquid
diet I find Grape-Nuts and albumen
water very nourishing and refreshing.
This recipe is my own idea and is
made as follows: Soak a teaspoonful
Of Grape-Nuts in a glass of water for
an hour, strain and serve with the
beaten white of an egg and a spoonful
Of fruit juice for fiayouring. This af-
fords a great deal Of nourishment that
even the weakest stomach can assimi-
late without any distress.
MY husband is physician and he
uses Grape-Nuts himself and orders 1t
many times for his patients.
Personally regard a dish of Grape
Nuts with fresh or stewed fruit as the
ideal breakfast for anyone-well or
sick"
In stomach trouble. nervous prostra.
tion, etc, Today trial of Grape-Nuts
will usually work wonders toward
nourishing and rebuilding and in this
way end the trouble. Name given by

London. - A German submarine
made its appearance in the Irish sea
Saturday morning and torpedoed,
without notice, the British coasting
steamer Cambank of 1890 tons regis
ter. Three of the crew were killed
and fourth was drowned while the
men were taking to the boats.
This incident was the only one con-
nected with the German submarine
blockade of the British Isles reported
Saturday. 1t came about the same
time that the Anglo-French fleets
were bombarding the Dardanelles
forts and while the Russians, accord
ing to telegram received from Petro-
grad. were administering defeat to
the Germans at Ossowetz, and driving
back to the frontier the troops which
had attacked that fortress.
In the meantime the battles on the
Continent continue, with ever-increas-
ing intensity. The offensive. which
the allies took early last week, has
brought about renewed activity all
along the line, and attacks and coun-
ter-attacks have become much more
numerous.
Both the British and the French
seemingly made considerable progress
at the outset of the offensive opera
tions. and this made 1t imperative for
the Germans to deliver counter attacks
to regain the ground which they had
lost.
Cettinje has been again visited by
an Austrian aeroplane, which dropped
