TRUSTY WRESTLES
WITH CITY MARSHAL
IN COURT HOUSE.

An ancient feud was revived yester-
day evening when City Marshal Nc
Faddcn and "Curly" Lee wrestlcd a
fast bout AT the head of a flight of
stairs in the court house. Lee. who is
trusty at the county Jail, had by
some underground process received
enough whiskey to convert his usual
docility into turbulence and stimulat-
ing mis- mind to n review of the time
when the city marshal had driven him
from town for having no visible means
of support.
The tussle was nearly precipitated
early in the afternoon, when MeFad-
den was standing in the hall adjoin-
ing the court room awaiting his call
to testify in the stephens case.
Lee passed the officer at that time
and made a remark which offended the
officer and later in the evening n
repetition of the utterance caused the
.ussle.
MeFadden, who outweighs the trusty
by more than a hundred pounds, crap
Piled with Lee and essayed to throw
the offending prisoner downstairs. Tn
start was nicely accomplished, when a
deputy sheriff, attracted by the scuf-
fle, arrived in time to prevent the city
marshal from putting lie" at the bot

Paris, oct. 1.-THE reason for the

derstand is why | did not grasp the
answer to the russians bewilderins
retirement and cable il a month ago
The reason is simply that by retiring
far into their own country the Rus
SLAMS have drawn the eastern armi es
of the Kaiser into position where
they cannot without great danger rush
back east to relieve the now threat
ened and tottering lines in northern
France,
The wonder is that war experts, es-
pecially on This side of the water, have
not guessed it before. The eXplaua-
tion lies. probably, in the oVershadow-
ing importance of the Kaiser's Balkan
drive-a drive which, according to my
information, is not SO important as il
has been cracked up to be.
Ny readers will recall that every
time a forward movement was under
taken by the Germans in the west. the
Russian "hordcs" dropped down from
the east on the weakened German
forces. StraightWay the Teutonie ad-
vance in France and Flanders would

Explosion Burns

The third gasoline accident i'm the

Irwin her life, ON the Irwin rinch, .
miles south OF town, yesterday after
noon, when . gallons of gasoline. in
which she was cleaning a garment,
exploded, scattering flaming gasoline
over both arms.
Her screams attracted n woman en-
ployed on the ranch, who rushed to
her assistance, but by the time she
had arrived the gasoline on Mrs Ir-
wins arms had burned itself out.
By the merest margin a gasoline
explosion which undoubtedly would
have torn Mrs. Irwin to fragments
was avcrted.
She was standing outdoors washing
the garment i'm the gasoline, while on
either side of her within a short dis
tance, stood 2 5O-gallou tanks, one
containing gasoline and the other oil.
When the gallons of gasoline, in
which She had Immersed the garment,
exploded, the blazing fluid was scat q

on the Germans at the proper time
But there was no Allied advance Then
there We're circulated surreptitiously
rumors that all was not well with the
Allies-that there was discord between
the French and British-that the ar
mics in the West were permanently
deadlocked and the Allies would listen
TO peace proposals from Germany on
Germanys terms. Some OF these ru-
mors, l see by the last batch of Amer
lean papers, We're passed by the cen
SOrS.
No one guessed the true explanation
however, and not until today, when a
stray hint from a French officials lips
reached me and set me thinking, did
even dream that the Russian retreat
might not have been n defeat.
1t is plain, from the results of the
Allies western drive, that the trick
succeeded, for had not the main Ger
man armies been engaged far in Rus
sia, and others detached for the pro-
posed drive to Constantinople,' the
British and French rush would have
been checked in its ineipiency.
As it is, there were simply not
enough Germans in France to halt the
dash Of their opponents, and not
enough Germans near at hand to rein e
force the army of occupation.
And as for Russia-the land of the
Russians is not yet harmed. The prov
inces which the Germans have over
run are inhabited by Poles and Lithu-
anians, and the Russian bureaucracy
pretends no love for these subject peo-
pies The Russian nation and the Rus
sian armies are intact. The alien but

of the receptacle containing the burn
ing gasoline and removed it from the
danger zone.
Mrs. Irwin's injuries, while painful,
are not serious, and physicians believe
that there will be no scars left as n
memento of the accident.
Garage men who are accustomed to
handling gasoline say that unless prop
er precautions are taken it is as dan
gerous to wash a silk or wool garment
in gasoline as it is to approach the
fluid with a lighted match.
The friction of the cloth, they state,
produces a spark much on the same
principle as a spark Is produced by
rubbing the fur of n cat, which is of
sufficient size and heat to produce an
