senting determined resistance The
allies have not yet strongly opposed
the Teutons. The weather is aiding the
serbians. Winters early blasts have
conspired to check somewhat their en-
envy. Shows cover the mountains and
rains have made the roads little more
than quagmres at many points.
Strumnitza, in Bulgaria has fallen
before the allies. This gave them con-
trol of the very important SalOnika-
Nish railroad for fifty miles northward
from Salonika and about third of

ans have cut the railway at Yranja.
Allies Take Strumnitza.
The capture of Strumnitza followed
1epuse of 10000 Bulgarians who were
reported last week trying to cut the
railroad between HudovO and Villain
dovo on the Serbian side of the Greek
frontier. The allies, however, drove
them eastward into Bulgaria, and dis
lodged them from Strumnitza.

LEGISLATIVE EMPLOYEES
Skate Into Cold Bath in Capitol
Lake.

Pierre, Jan. 26.-Frank Yeager OF
Sioux Falls, assistant sergeant al
arms in the house, and Mrs. Lydia
Buechler. expert st~enographer on the
senate force, had a narrow escape
from drowning while skating on Cap
itol lake. This lake, which is quite
deep in places, is fed by an artesian
well and the constant melting of the
ice due to the inflow of warm water
makes 1t at all times unsafe.
Not being familiar with this condi-
ton the couple were skating on the
lake when suddenly the ice gave way
and both were plunged into deer
water. Mr.. Yeager succeeded in
elinging to the edge of the firmer ice
and supported his companion, but
found ii impossible to lift her out OF
the water until he had first climbed
out himself, when he dragged the
woman after him.
The temperature was near zero
and the couple rushed into the near
by power house and through the long
tunnel to the capitol basement.
Neither suffered any serious conse
.quences from their involuntary bath,
Mr.. Yeager is quite an athlete which
accounts for his being able to get
himself and companion out of the
deep water unassisted.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Jan. 26.-Hud-
died in a crouching posture the BODY
OF Mrs. Minnie Hunter, 80 years old,
who has been missing since yester-
day afternoon was found by her hus-
band, Frank A. Hunter, when he
lifted the lid of a cedar chest in their
home, No. 5266 Holmes street, at
noon today. DR.. j. o. Donaldson
said Mrs. Hunter had been dead
about twenty hours.
Hunter and his son had slept near
the chest last night. According to
the report of Deputy Coroner Over,
Mrs. Hunters death was caused by
sutfocation. No marks OF violence
were on her BODY.
Mrs. Hunter was last seen alive at
4 O'Clock yesterday afternoon by
| Mrs. +. j. Umstead. a neighbor, who
talked with her at the Hunter home.
Frank A. Hunter, jr., a son. returned
from school shortly afterward and
found the house empty.
Hunter. general manager and part
| owner of the Hunter Saw and Ma
| chine company, returned home at 8
| O'Clock and was told by his son OF
| Mrs. Hunters absence. Surprising
| she had gone TO a social gathering or
was visiting friends, he went to bed.
On awakening this morning, Hun
ter found his wife was not at home.
F, He made a futile search during the
morning. Thinking that If his wife
| had gone out she probably would
have worn her furs, Hunter went to
the bedroom OF his son, where was
the cedar chest in which the furs
were kept, and lifted the lid. He
found the body Of his wife. fully
dressed, her face downward, resting
on the knees.
DR.. Donaldson said that from all
appearances, death was accidental.
He added: Mrs. Hunter had a
rheumatic heart and l have frequent
ly been called to treat her for this
trouble. 1t appeared to me as though
she had been stricken and fallen into
the chest"
The chest is about 4 feet long,
feet wide and about 3 feet In depth,
and has a heavy lid. Mrs. Hunters
furs were found in il.
The son slept two feet from the
chest last night.
Despite the statement given out BY
DR.. Donaldson, the police tonight are
still working on the case, which they
claim has peculiar angles.
Mrs. Hunters body was doubled
up in the box in a peculiar position
her height being 5 feet 6 inches. TIL
police admit hat mysterious circum
stances surround the death, but offer
no solution of the case.
