BLUNDERs IN BATTLE.


Cases Where Troops Have Fired Upon
Their Own People.
1t was at Beacon hill during the Boer
war that there happened one of the
saddest incidents in the history OF the
British army. The East Surrey were
In hollow between two hills creeping
up the valley. The West Surrey regi-
ment, half mile away, caught sight
Of the crouching figures and took them
for Beers.
In. moment heavy yolley rang
out, and It was not until an otncer,
realizing the mistake, rushed out In
front of the West Surveys that the
firing ceased.
A nurse, writing afterward from the
Estcourt hospital, said 1t was pitiful to
see the West Surveys coming In one
after another. bringing cigarettes, dain-
ties, any present they could find, for
the wounded men, then, hearing their
groans, turn away, saying: GOD for
give usI This Is our workp
One Of the strangest cases of troops

time Roumania was in a very disturb
ed condition, and bands Of robbers
regular banditti-prowled over the
country, raiding the villages and
farms. The largest Of these bands
made It's headquarters In the forest Of
Rhodope and gradually increased until
it became 300 strong. 1t spread terror
through the whole countryside, and at
last the government sent body of
troops to hunt it down.
The robber band was located on top
Of a mountain, and the colonel In COM
mand Of the troops split his forces and
sent half up each side 80 as to attack
from two points simultaneously.
A thick fog fell, and the robbers took
advantage of it to sneak away quietly
by a path known only to themselves.
The troops, unaware Of this maneuver
continued their ascent, and the two
bodies, each crawling along under Gov
er of rocks and brushwood, met at the
top. They at once opened fire and
fought desperately for a whole houl

SPOILED THE GAME.

The Prospects Were Excellent, but
They Were Too One Sided.
A young singer who had been study
Ing for opera work had the good for
tune to be engaged by an impresarto
for tour through South America. His
chest swelled with pride as he walked
ihe deck of the steamer that was to
take him on his first trip to foreign
lands. On the second morning out he
was much surprised to meet an old
classmate. who, like himself, was
tenor singer.
"Well, we'll, where did you come
from? Where are you going" each
asked the other.
And each answered, I'm engaged by
an opera company for South Ameri-
can tour"
my manager is on this steamer"
said one.
"And mine too."
Within FIVE minutes both singers
found that they had been engaged by
the same opera company for the same
part. what does the man mean by
hiring two different men for the role
of first tenorT' asked one.

who had been standing near and over

The FIVE youths then took counsel
together and decided that they would
see the manager and demand an ex

They found him on the forward deck
He listened, seemingly amused at the1l

Dogs Must
Be MuZZled
Village Trustees Adopted Emergency
Ordinance June 3.

board of village trustees held |
Thursday evening, June 8, at which
all the members of the board were
present, an ordinance was unani
mously passed requiring the muz-
cling of dogs, and putting it in
force June 7 by proclamation of F.
L. Farnsworth, chairman.
The purpose of the ordinance is
the prevention and suppression OF
rabies or hydrophobia in the Viii
lage OF Rathdrum. 1t requires the
muzzling of all dogs in the village,
of all dogs coming into or being
brought into the village, and pro-
vides for the destruction of dogs
or other animals infected with
rabies, and the impounding and
destruction of all unmuzzled dogs
found at any time within the cor
porate limits of the village. The
number of the ordinance is So.
BY reason of the prevalence OF
rabies in Spokane and vicinity and
impending danger of spreading of
the disease to neighboring towns,
the ordinance was put into effect
Monday by proclamation as pro-
vided by law. 1t will remain in
force until its operation is sus-
pended by official publication.
No mad dogs have been report
ed in Rathdrum yet, but the num-
Der of dogs caught in Spokane up
to the first of this week had reach
ed $50 of which 100 had been
killed.
In the posted proclamation
owners or harborers of dogs are
reminded that the annual dog
license for 1915 was due and pay
able between the Ist and 10th o
May, as provided by Ordinance
No. So, and that failure to apply
to the marshal and pay said licens'
promptly constitutes a misde
meanor punishable by fine of S

action of the county assessor OF
sending an ''expert" from Coeur

besides the salary of the regular
field deputy appointed to assess
real and personal property in this
district.

was one of delegation of farmers
sent from his neighborhood last
, March to protest to the county
assessor against the SIS per acre
increase in the assessed valuation
of farm land. He said the asses
i, or admitted the raise but assured
the committee that their taxes
j, would be lower this year because

It heretofore assessed was being
added to the assessment roll and
this would enable the county COM
