war SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE AsSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, March Especial:
Comparative calm in the west and
heavy fighting in the eastern wal
zone characterized the European
campaign. The Carpathians are
again to the fore as the scene of the
most desperate struggle, for along
the chain of mountains both Russians
and Austrians have brought up large
reinforcements and are engaged in a
battle, upon the decisive turn of
which much depends.
In reply to the German declaration
minimizing the Russian victory at
Przemysl, the Russian war office as
serts $4,000 prisoners were taken
on the fall of that fortress and that,
contrary to the German report, only
1850 Russian prisoners were found
when the invading army took pos
session.
The Russian war office also takes
occasion to deny categorically the de-
struction of any towns or villages in
Galicia.
The Russians claim to have made
progress in the Carpathians. which,
as usual, differs from the claim set
up by the Austrians, who declare hat
the Russian attack has miscarried.
with heavy losses.
In the vosges the French success
in capturing the heights of Hartman
Weilerkopf. near Muelhausen, is adj
mitted by the Germans. This stra-
tegic position has been the object for
which the opposing forces have been
fgthing desperately for several days.
as 1t dominates the surrounding
country.
Great interest centers in the pos
sible entrance of Italy into the war.
The action of Rumania and Bull
garia is to some extent dependent
upon that of Italy and Rome dis
patches report that the Italian gov
eminent has completed all measures
preparatory to hostllities.
An interesting report in this con-
nection is contained in a Sofia dis
patch, which says that the German
field marshal, Won der Goltz. who re-
Gently was sent on a mission to the
Bulgarian capital, has been authoriz-
ed to offer Bulgaria, on behalf of
Turkey, that territory north of a line
drawn from Enos to Midia in return
for Bulgaria's neutrality.

STATE CENSUS
Plan To Secure More Accurate Fig
ures Than Those of Gov
eminent.

Pierre. March 29.-"South Da-
kota's third census taken by the state
will be even better than that of the
federal government, If only the asses
sors will stand by their jobs as they
did in our second census, ten years
ago." said Doane Robinson. superin-
tendent of the census. before the
county auditors association. Ten
years ago every assessor in the whole
state without exception did his work
well, and the result vas a census
which was just as good as any fed
eral census of this state eve made,
and the one taken May / will be bet
ter yet," were his further remarks.
The information in this censu will
cover every point of knowledge about
South Dakota, its products. it's peo-
pie, it's industry, etc, that could be
desired, and when the census is pub
lished in the early autumn South Da-
kotans will know what a fine state
this Is, in figures and tables in black
and white.
Mr.. Robinson is conducting a ques-
ton hour upon the problems of the
coming census which will be taken
May /. He has submitted to the at
torney general the technical ques-
tions asked by the auditors and as
SCISSORS in the conference here, as
they are chiefly points of law which
will have to do with the validity OF
legal points of the census. Upon the
attorney generals ruling on these
points will depend the procedure OF
the assessors and these opinions will
be handed down in a few days for
the enlightenment Of them. Whether
or not the census department has
jurisdi don over towns in the Indian
reservation which as a matter OF fact
have been opened to settlement
whether the $50 limit to assessors
applies as to enumeration. and other
similar questions are those which are
to be settled by the attorney gen
erals rulings.
The auditors spent the greater

An statement in the

Judge j. w. Jones in Sioux Falls for
performing the duties OF an attorney
in drawing a will which incapacitated
him from sitting in a contest case
over the will. has elected ready re-

Sponholz, Of this city. Judge Spon-
hollis reply appeared in yesterdays
issue of the Sioux Falls paper, and
was as follows:
Il have noticed your article in Sat
urday's issue in which you assail my
reputation and %insinuate that | am
responsible for the loss of the will of
Detlef ~Joannsen, and further insinu-
ate that was reprimanded by Judge
Jones for appearing as attorney in
said matter and permitting myself TO

Il wish to state in regard to this
publication that you have certainly
been misinformed in this matter. In
the first place no in particular is
responsible for the loss of said will.
1t is an unfortunate matter and we
all regret it.
I'm regard TO being reprimanded
by Judge Jones, there is absolutely
no truth in the matter. 1t Is true
that Judge Jones made the remark
that he did not like the additional
work OF probate matters, but that
statement was not made in any repri-
manding manner; in fact, he was as
cordial in the matter as he possibly
could be. Now we all know that he

extra labors and it is an unfortunate
matter that he must be, but the law

ESCAPES FROM JAIL
MAN ACCUSED OF HORSE STEAL
ING HERE is ONCE MORE
AT LIBERTY.

When Sheriff f. W. Butts last
night went to learn whether Carl
Schultz, the only prisoner in the
county Jail. required anything, he
found the mans cell door open and
his charge gone. Schultz was being
held under a horse stealing charge.
So completely did he vanish that no
trace of him has as yet been I'M
earthed.
Sheriff Butts lives in the basement
of the county courthouse. in which Is
also located the Jail. The family, in
Guiding the sheriff, had gone up
town shortly after supper time. The
sheriff returned a few minutes after
9 O'Clock. TO find his Jail uninhabited.
He had last cen the prisoner when
he took him his supper, some three
hours before.
Whether the man unfastened the
cell door himself or whether it was
accidentally left unlocked Is not
known. Once out OF his cell. his only
remaining obstacle vas To evade de-
lection outside. There was no one
else in the building. and it was a
simple matter for him to step down u
short corridor and walk through The
sheriff's living quarters TO liberty.
kilograms, giving the fugitive's de-
scription were at once sent out and a
careful watch was kept of outgoing
trains. 1t is thought probable that
he walked from the city, and it has
been suggested that bloodhounds be
brought from Mitchell to trace him
1t Is unusual for the county to offer
a reward for the capture of alleged
criminals.
Schultz was arrested last week in
Fergus Falls, Mimi, after a search
stretching over a period of two or
three months. He is accused of hay-
ing stolen a horse from Fred Meyer,
a farmer in the extreme southern
part of this county. for whom he
worked last summer. His hearing
on the charge had been set by Justice
of the Peace Soper for next Monday.
The man is described as being just
under 6 feet tall, slim, spare faced
and light complexioned. He is about
"a years old, and wore a soft hat and
medium dark clothes.

FIRST BASEBALL GLOVE.
Story of the Little Third Baseman
With the Iron Fist

About 1S67-6S a baseball team came
to Rockford, H., 10 play our nine.
says a writer in All Outdoors. They
called themselves the "Unconquered
Clippers of Illinois and plastered our
town with big posters. We made up
our minds to give them drubbing.
and at the end Of the game the score
was Rockford, 76; Clippers. 0.
There was little chap playing third
base who grabbed everything that
came near him, and held it too.
noticed that he wore kind Of glove.
When the game was over ! went to
him and asked what it was that he
wore on his hand. He told me that
be was a machinist and had got his
hand badly hurt the week before, and
he showed me the wound in his palm.
He said the boys did not want him
to play In that game, but he got
piece of thin sheet steel and made
1t slightly concave, but so that it did
not quite touch the sore place. He
then made a short glove to cover all
the hand excepting the first joints of
the fingers and doubled the leather in
the palm so that he could slip the
plate between.
/ asked him if it hurt, and he said
it did not and that he could take hot
one and hold it better with the glove
than without It, That is the whole
story. l don't think that Spalding
ever talked to the little chap with the
iron fist, as the boys dubbed the third
baseman, but everybody in Rockford
knew about the mitt, and he may
have got the idea from him. Anyway,
that was the first glove that any ball
player ever wore.
