Serbia continued to make advances
on many fronts. according to oflcial
statements from Berlin and Sofa.
A semi-ofncial report confirmed BY

indicate, however. that the Bulgarians
had met with . decisive defeat at
the hands Of the Serbs at Leskovac
where they were thrown back across
the Morava river after several days
hard fighting in which they suffered
severe losses.
On the north the Teutonic forces are
rapidly drawing near the Kosovo
plain while from the east the Bulgari-
ans are approaching the same prospec-
tive battlefield. An omcial Bulgarian
statement says that the Bulgarian
forces are approaching Prisptina both
from the north and east and that in

and q half squadron Of cavalry.
The ofncial German statement says
that 1000 more Serbs have been made
prisoners. The booty captured in the
Novfbasar arsenal included nifty large
mortars and eight cannon of an old
type.

YOUNG MAN SET UPON AND
ROBBED ON HIS WAY HOME

Fred Walker, son of l.. w. Walker
and a high school boy, was attacked
by footpad Wednesday night as he
was walking home and was knocked
senseless in the way. When he re-
covered consciousness he found that
his pockets had been robbed of small
amount of change he had carried
The same day he had left his watch
to be repaired or the time piece would
have been taken, no doubt, also.
Young Walker did not see MS as
sailant, in fact does not know whether
there was one or more men who at
tackled him He was proceeding
homeward about half past seven
o'clock when he suddenly felt a blow
from behind on his head. The place
was at the Borden corner, two blocks
west of the Journal Office, on Rail
street, within two or three hundred
yards of the Walker home.
When he managed to drag himself
home he was still half dazed but he
recovered himself entirely soon after
ward and was able to attend school
the next day. attending to out of
school duties as a delivery driver for
one of the local stores as usual Il
was this work that he had just finish
ed when attacked on his way home.
1t would seem there should be some
means devised to rid the town Of
persons who have no visible means Of
support and who prey upon the public
as buns or beggars from day to day.
