WOULD RELIEVE PRzEMYSL
Austrians Plan to Make Determined
Effort.

Petrograd, March 16.-Austrian
forces, supported by a large German
contingent, again are making a de-
termined effort to relieve the Prz-
emysl fortress in Galicia, besieged by
the Russians since the early months
of the war.
Having failed in their movement in
East Galicia, ear Stanislau, when
they hoped to strike northwest in the
direction of Przemysl and having
transferred the center of their opera
tons farther to the west they are now
attempting to take the direct route
from Uiok pass to the north. In the
vicinity OF Stuben, almost half way
between Ujok and Przemysl, the Aus
trians encountered serious Russian re-
distance and the success of their
movement depends on the outcome OF
their concentrated efforts to break
through the Russian lines at this
point.

Colonel Crook, Employed by Twelve
Presidents, Is Dead.

Washington. March l4-Colonel w.
n. Crook, d%isbursing officer of the
White House. who was President Lin
coins bodyguard and who has been
intimately acquainted with every
president since 1860. is dead at his
home here. He had been i'll with
pneumonia more than a week.
Fifty years of service as a White
rIouse enlploye. through the admins
tTations of twelve presidents, made
Colonel Crook one of the most fa-
nliliar figures in the national capital
and in his old age left him rich in
personal "reminiscences of the init
mate side of White House life. The
assassinations of Lincoln and Gar
field, various weddings at the White
House and the impeachment of Presi-
dent Johnson were among numerous
events which Colonel Crook recalled
ia memoirs of his half century OF
White House service.

Pierre, March 16.-On inquiry of
the state livestock board the attorney
general holds that there Is no pro-
vision of law by which county COM
missioners can meet expenses of com
batting hog cholera in the different
counties of the state, and hat coun-
ties cannot legally meet any such OK
pense.
Ii is also held on inquiry from
Gregory county that the county com
missioners are limited to $500 as an
expenditure for a county poor farm.
At a recent election in that county
the commissioners were instructed by
the people TO purchase a quarter sec
tion of land and place buildings upon
the same for a poor farm, but as no
amount was specified In the election
for this purpose the general law
limits the commissioners to $500 for
this purpose and. regardless OF the
election. so long as no sum was spec
lied, they are restrained TO this gen
eral law limitation.

sIoUX CITY LIVESTOCK MARKET

Sioux City, March 16.-Cattle re-
ceipts were liberal today. close to 200
cars or approximately 5000 head, al
most three times as many as arrived
the opening day last week and a good
increase over the corresponding day
a year ago.
General conditions surrounding
the market for fat cattle were unfa-
vorable. News from other markets
indicated a lower turn TO prices,
caused by increased supplies, and this
reflected adversely on the local trade.
Break when a trading basis was
reached figured all of 10 a 15c, COW
ering beef steers, butcher stock and
bulls.
Stock and feeding cattle trade was
under the same handicap as the killer
branch and bidding on steers showed
the decline to be Is % Csc. Business
on stock cows and heifers had fair
life and prices held generally steady.
Hog values were set back 5 a Toe,
under the influence of liberal supplies
and bearish wires from outside cen
ters. Tops reached 500, while the
bulk of the sales covered a spread of
from $3.50 a $40.
Today's operations in the sheep
house showed prices unchanged. Best
lambs sold at 1926.
