DIR. CONDIT LOST ON REGENT TRIP
 WAS NO "JOKE"

While on his recent trip for Che pm- pose of inspecting the various Pres- byterlan missions In Southwestern Ale assa. Dr. J. H Condit head of the board of missions for the Territory was lost for several hours in the woods at Howkan bay Although the incident has been the cause Of much good-natured iibing at Dr. Condit here, it was stated yesterday by one of the members of the party that while they were hunting for him there was not anything funny about it
 It seems that Rev J. B. Stevens and pr. Condit had both planned going out for @ little tramp but owing Go the fact that Mir. Stevens had been tramp ing along the beach for quite a dis- tance he decided that he would not SO out with pr. Condit, who there fore started along alone
 He had been away about two hours before any alarm was felt for his safety. but when night came and still he had not returned a searching party composed of the entire group started out to look for him Rifle shots were fired with no result Finally two of the men started through the dense woods with a searchlight Along the beach two others used fog horn iu an effort to let Dr. Condit know where they were. At 2:SO a. m he was dis- covered some four miles from the camp In a very dense part of the woods and owing to the fact that the light had given out the party decided to remain in the woods until day- light. The island, Long Island, is in- fested with wolves and when they re- called that fact the men decided to follow stream down to the water front Dr. Condit had neither light nor gun with him and ii it had not been for the success of the searching parties the story might not have de- veloped into a thing to be poked about

DAVIS PROTEST
 NOT SUSTAINED

In a decision rendered yesterday the officers of the local Land Office have recommended that the Secre- tary of the Interior dismiss the pro- test filed some months ago by Mont gomery Davis against soldiers addi- tionai homestead location filed by George R. Noble as trustee for Sarah L Burton.
 MT. Davis had filed protest on the ground that if permitted to take mp homestead under the Soldiers Ad- ditonal Homestead Law Noble would be encroaching upon the rights of the Davis location made in 1906 for a tract on the Salmon Creek road which is well known as the Davis homestead.
 1T the Secretary sustains the de- cision of the local office Mr. Davis will In an probability lose his claim to the homestead tract In question at such time as the 80-rod reserve be- tween homesteads may be enforced.
 Another case Of something the same sort is pending in the land office at the present time and is concerned with the location of D. L. Cobb un- der Soldiers additional Homestead script and known as the Scatter tract, which Is located just beck of the cemetery and In connection with which MT. Cobb has protested the To- cation Of various sQuatters and pur- chasers on the same tract Only one brief has been filed in tbis connec- tion and 1t is probable that the mat ter will not be definitely settled for some time.
 As basis for their decision the Land Office states that I've have de- termined that the location of lhe pro testant Davisl was not made in the faith or at least with the intent that is required of the homestead claim : ant and that his acts pursuant to his ! location are not such as to support ation of Q reserve space on either claim that win prevent by the ere side thereof. the location of the land adjoining the homestead, and of the !

LACK OF PRICE OF
MEAL SAVES GIRL
Daughter Of Lincoln Physician
Unable to Go to Restaurant
Wrecked by Tornado.
GOES HUNGRY, BUT STILL LIVES

Saved by the lack Of the price Of
meal was the fate Of Miss Helen
Hayes OF Great Bend. Kan, daughter
OF DR.. N. Hayes OF Lincoln, in a re-
cent tornado.
For some time Miss Hayes has been
employed as a society writer on a
paper at Great Bend. Because the
railroad reporter was away at the
moment. Miss Hayes was sent to the
railway station to meet the trains.
Ordinarily she went to her boarding
house about that time Of day for her
evening meal. but this time she was
away down by the depot at supper
time. She looked across the street
to a small restaurant.
"rll not 60 home for supper this even
ing." she said to herself. "1ll just slip
across to the restaurant and get bite to
eat
She opened her purse. There was
handkerchief. She pulled that out. There
was also a small mirror. She took that
out. There was a piece Of channels skin
with a little pink powder on It. She
clawed that out, and maybe polished her
nose a little.
Unable to Go 20 Restaurant
But money was a scarce article. Down
in the corner OF the handbag she found a
nickel she had saved for street car fare.
That was not enough to get her supper
Nothing doing" she said 10 herself
''I'n not eat supper at all. I'll walt until
get home"
BY this time IL was raining. She looked
out Of the depot window at the splash,
splash on the streets. The wind began TO
blow. She watched the wind drive the rain
In great writing twisting serpents of
mist down the street
Then suddenly the heavens grew black.
The sky came down like big black hat
shutting everybody in. The crash came.
There was a roaring that drowned the
roar OF the trains for a moment, and all
was over.
Across the street the little restaurant
where momentary poverty prevented her
from being at that minute. was only
wrecked and tangled heap Of kindling
wood literally blown to toothpicks, while
there was important business in digging

Greece ModIfies It's Position.
LONDON. Nov. i8-The Greek govern
nent is reported 70 have modified It's
position somewhat IN favor of the en-
tente allies. The correspondent at Athens
OF the Exchange Telegraph company
says II has decided that IN the event OF
q retreat OF the allies 70 Greek soil Ser
bian troops will be placed on the same
footing as the British and French.
Premier skouloudlE originally proposed
to permit the French and British 20
reach the sea without interference from
the Greeks. but 70 disarm serbians who
crossed the border. The change is due,
the correspondent says. to formidable OBJ
jectlons raised by the French minister
at Athens. However. Il stIll remains for
Greece TO define It's position clearly.
Designation OF a neutral zone has been
suggested.

BULGARS BEGIN

RUSSIAN REPORTS CONFLICTING

LONDON, Nov. 16.-The exact sit
uation in central Macedonia is uncer-
tain. Dispatches from the near east
are conflicting and doubt as to the
time Of events to which they refer
injects an additional element OF un-
certainty. II lie clear, however, that
the Bulgarians have been reinforced
and have begun a new offensive.
The operations in central Mace

present a most powerful menace TO
the armies OF Serbia and its allies.
which are operating from Tetovo
through Perlepe to the southeastern
Serbian frontier. kilograms re-
ceived almost simultaneously from
Greece announce that Tetovo is in
the hands OF both the serbians and
the Bulgarians. but the preponder-
anoe of evidence points to Bulgarian
occupation of this front.
MOnastir Again I'm Danger.
The Bulgarians are making desperate
efforts to force their way through Kat
chsnik Pass In the direction OF Pristina
They are also attempting to advance
from Tetovo to Perlepe and Monastir
and by forcing BabunA Pass, 20 reach
Perlepe from the other side. These OPP
erations are said to have placed Monastir
again in danger.
II Il not at present a problem whether
the newly arrived French and British
forces are large enough to meet this Bull
garian onslaught. which apparently has
begun with extraordinary vigor.
What Greece will do in event the al
lied troops are forced back over the
Greek border is still matter of specu-
lation. A message from Greece says the
government will extend 10 the serbians
the same privileges as those accorded to
the French and British in case OF their
eneroachment on Greek territory. but in
view OF the fact that no definite an
nouncement has been made as to what
these privileges viii be. further than the
original statement Of Premier skoulidis
that the allied troops would be permitted
to reach the sea unmolested, the inten-
tons Of Greece remain obscure.

while admitting they have yielded some
