The terms under which Przemysi

made public. II is certain. however.
that the remnant OF the garrison has
been accorded fun military honors.
Everywhere the Russians found ev-

had been destroyed by the Austrians

The long siege. however. had exhaust

they lacked enough explosives to
wreck all the forts. Russian engi-
neers believe the main damage can
be repaired in few weeks. The gov
ernment is determined to put Prem

at the earliest possible moment. A

LacIede WalIOps Linneus 20 to 0

Last Friday the Linneus high
school football team tried to show
their superiority of the game to the
home team. Much to their sur
prise they encountered a more
than worthy foe, for Laclede high
school team trampled on them to
the tune of 200.
During the first half the teams
were pretty evenly matched and no
scoring was done, but in the second
half our strong line and the
back-f field hit their stride. Holes
large enough for wagon to go
through were opened by Carothers
and Foster, while on the defense
Dick, Landree and Whitaker broke
through and smashed the inter-
ference before it got started. In
cases where it did get started the
man was sure to be downed by
Osgood or Anderson. The scoring
was divided between Peacher,
Cotter and Glover, each making
touchdown. Perhaps the biggest
surprise of the game was the work
of Cole at quarterback. In the last
half he was shifted to that position
and ran the team splendidly; also
Daniel did some pretty tackling.
Be it said for Linneus though,
they took their beating gamely.
Altogether it was as clean game
as was ever seen in Laclede.

Sewing Machine Demonstration

there were more farmers in town
than on any day this season. The
event had been extensively adver-
tised and the room was packed
during the demonstration and
lecture by the expert from the
factory. Many were convinced
the Free is about the best machine
on the market and will no doubt
result in many sales here. Mrs.
Mary e. Cotter of Laclede held the
lucky number and being present
received a handsome Free sewing
machine free. Nichols & Son carry
an immense stock and being per-
slstent advertisers are getting the

Robbery Claimed

DR.. F. w. Burke, local surgeon
for the Burlington, responded to a
call to the station last Wednesday
night shortly after s o'clock, He
found Allen Inman Of Brookfield,
solicitor and collector for an in
stallment house, suffering from a
cash over one eye and a bruise
below the eye, and in rather dazed
condition. Inman had gone to the
station to take the 9 o'clock train
for home, and claimed that as he
stepped out of the east door of the
waiting room he was slugged and
knocked unconscious and dragged
some distance from the depot where
he was robbed of eight dollars he
had collected during the day here.
His clothing showed no signs of a
struggle except a rent in his
trousers at the knee.
The operator and other depot
employees say they saw no SUSPECT
GUS persons about the station and
knew nothing of the alleged rob-
berry until Inman came into the
room and related his experience
aud loss.
The marshal and others who in
vestigated the matter rather scout
the story of robbery and lean to
the theory that Inman either fell
off the high platform at the north
side of the depot or attempted to
board au east bound freight that
passed just about that time.
Inman was not badly hurt and
left for his home at Brookfeld on
the Dude. +"
