Some Of The HOpkinSville Citi-
zenS Who Have Moved
Away.

In the early part of every year
there are certain changes of citizens,
some moving away and others COM
ing in. During the present month
and just preceding, Hopkinsville has
lost quite a number of well-known
people, including some of the most
prominent men in the city. 1t is
true their places have been filled by
the numerous newcomers who have
stepped into vacancies created and
many other families have been
added to the population, but those
leaving are missed all the same and
the Kentuckian regrets to see them
move away. Following are those
whose names occur at this time, who
have already gone or are to go soon:
Rev. II. ID. Smith and family.
Rev. G. III. II. Branch and family.

Despite Fierce Attacks Few
Change in Positions Are
Made.
10000 GERMAN LOSSES
AuStrianS Claim Check for
Russian Invasion of
Hungary.

London, Jan. 20 Although no big
battles have been fought of late
there have been engagements in al
the arenas from Asiatic Turkey
to the English channel. in which the
losses in men and materials.probably
have been greater in the aggregate
than in many Of the battles Of his
tory.
According to French reports,
German attacks against the allied
lines in Flanders, France and Alsace
on the first three days of the week
cost them 10000 men, to which
must be added the losses suffered
in repeated attacks on the Russian
entertainments in Central Poland.
All attacks in the west, the allies
announcements say, failed except
near Craonne, where it is admitted
the French lost 800 men, largely be-
cause of the collapse of an old
quarry,
The Germans, on the other hand
assert that they inflicted a severe de-
feat on the French at Craonne, and
that they repulsed all French at
tacks in the Vosges and upper Alsace,
with heavy losses.
| While it is evident these attacks
and counter attacks cost both sides
heavily, they made no great differ
ence in the relative positions of the
opposing armies. They convey the
intimation, however, that the Ger
mans by no means have given up
the idea of delivering a smashing
blow at the allied armies.
In the east interest centers in the
Carpathians, where the Austro- Ger
mans have brought up new armies
to oppose the Russian invasion Of
Hungary. According to announce,
ments in Vienna they have captur eG
some of the passes the Russians were
holding in strength.
While the Russians do not relish
giving up any ground gained, thew
declare this is compensated by the
fact that their aggressiveness has
compelled the Austro. Germans to
postpone the expedition they we're
preparing to crush Serbia. Russia
hopes Rumania, with her financial
position guaranteed by the recent
London loan of $25, OOO. 900 soon will
send her army into the field and
form the missing link between Rus
STA and Serbia.
The Turks, by bringing up their
fifth army corps, have resumed the
offensive in the Caucasus, but Rus

another setback. Nothing further
has been heard of the Turkish army
invading Egypt.

SENSATION
W. B. st. JOhP, While Drunk,
Attempts To Rob a
Bank.
OFFICIALS DISARMED HIM.
Made a BOtch of An Attempt
To Play Bandit Last
Wednesday.
OFFICIALS DISARMED HIM.

Paducah, KY, Jan. 2g.-in accept
ed bandit style a lone.handed at
tempt was made early Wednesday
afternoon to rob the First National
Bank by stranger, who gave his
name az W. B. st. John, of Fulton.
The bank officers and employees were
quick to perceive that the bandit
was inexperienced and easily dis
armed him without anybody being
injured, and he was placed in the
county Jail.
st. John appeared in front of the
bank in taxicab about 2 O'Clock,
and entering the building presented
long pistol at Assistant Cashier
George Warfield and commanded
him to hand over the money. Al
though excited Warfield played for
time and engaged the bandit in con-
versation while Cashier Nolin Van
Culin slipped out of his cage and,
approaching from the rear, grabbed
st. John, whom he disarmed with
the assistance of Frank Davis, an in
surance agent, who was in the bank.
An alarm sent to the police station
brought several patrolmen and de-
tectives to the scene, and st. John
was arrested and placed in the coun-
ty Jail.
Police officials said that the man
was intoxicated. The only statement
he made Was II pulled bone" A
warrant issued against him charges
of attempted bank robbery.
The affair attracted hundreds of
people to the bank and many reports
flashed ever the city, some that the
robber had been killed and Others
that the bank had been robbed. The
alleged robbery was attempted just
as the bank was closing business for
the day, and several thousand dollars
in silver and currency was stacked
on the inside counters.
Police officials believe that st,
John had read of successful daylight
bank robberies, and had concluded
that he could rob the local bank in a
similar way and get away. He made
no attempt totfire his pistol, and is
believed to have seen his mistake
when Warfeld did not hand him the
money when it was demanded.
At the police station an employee
of the City National Bank stated
that st. John entered the latter bank
shortly before 2 o'clock. and after
closely scrutinizing the interior dis
appeared. There was large crowd
in the bank at the time. and it is be-
lieved that fact prevented him from
trying to rob the City National.
