DESCRIBES BATTLE
ON WESTERN FRONT
LETTER FROM FRENCH SOLDIER
TELLS OF THREE DAYS
STRUGGLE.
WOUNDED BY GERMAN SHELL
Father of Rene Bardet Gets Graphic
Story of Charge-Pathe En-
ploye Proud of Son.

The personal, intimate side OF the
great world war now being waged is
lacking in the colorless, censored re-
ports officially disseminated by the
various governments of the countries
involved. Rarely letters come to this
country from men at the front, and
1t is from such letters that one gains
a conception of the sensation of the
brave fellows, thousands of whom arc
dying daily for the highest earthly
ideal a man can have-"pro patria."
One such letter has been received
by Mr.. Gabriel Bardet, the notary of
the Pathe American Company and
an old and trusted employee of that
great concern. When the war broke
out last summer, Mr.. Bardet's two
sons, Rene and George, were among
the very first French-Americans to
leave for France to fulfill their duty
to their mother country. George, the
elder, was made a prisoner in the
very first weeks OF the fighting, and
has since been inearoerated IN Ger
many. A few brief letters have come
from him to his rather, saying that
he Is well and as happy as could be
expected under the circumstances, his
greatest hardship being the lack Of
tasty food. MIR. Bardet has in conse-
quence made arrangements for vari-
Gus delicacies to be sent to him.
1t is from Rene, the younger, how
ever, that the Pathe notary has re-
ceived the most interesting letter.
Rene has been in the thick Of the
fighting from the start and his ex-
periences are worth narrating. He
says in part as follows:
after a terrible bloody struggle
which lasted for three days | am safe
and sound and taking much needed
rest. For the first time since l have

OO-O-O!! GHOST|ES
At PORT GIBSON
LIKE TO HAVE COLD SHIVERS
DOWN THE BACK?-WELL,
READ THIS ONE.

Port Gibson, Miss, Aug. 25.-Few
people at this late day believe in the
visits of spirits; yet on occasions
when supernatural-or otherwise i'm
Observation-Disclosures force themselves
upon people, it is difficult to throw off
that old superstition which has been
an element of mans makeup since the
beginning of time.
More than thirty years ago three
stout hearted Claiborne men who ridi-
culed such supernatural appearances,
have little to say on the subject now
if, indeed, they have not, in large
measure, been converted to believe in
the very thing they so boldly tabooed
prior to that time.
Away back in the early days of the
county an Englishman named Norman
Frisbie purchased a tract of land ly-
| ing between Russum and Westside
and built a substantial log house up
on it. There he lived and died. Later
the place became the property of the
| late J. W. Martin who used the Fris
bic home to house a family of negro
tenants. In addition to his own fam
| lily, the negro hired a woman to assist
in the farm work During the year he
and the woman disagreed and he
forced her to leave, throwing bricks
| at her as she left the place.
| In the course of time another fam
| lily moved into the house; and here
is where the strange part of this story
begins. One morning as the man was
preparing to go to his daily work
bricks began to fall in the house, with
GUS cause and without revealing from
whence they came. Fearful that hi
children might be struck by the fall
ing bricks, he took them to the fielt
with him. and related the strange oc
currence to his fellow wOrkmen. Nom

ner of the room, which lead to a trap
door in the attic, and made thorough
inspection of the place. The solid Gel
ling with an inch On more of dust ~
ing upon it's upper side, showed plain
ly that no human had disturbed this
musty place since the days of its
builder. There was no chimney,
little stove furnishing the late inhabi-
tants with warmth, from which the
bricks could nave fallen though the
place where it struck was far re-
moved from the only entrance to the
upper floor. While they unused over
the singular occurrence, another brick
lfell. standing on end as the first one
had done. This was too much for
| two of the party, and they withdrew
to a safe distance; but the other again
searched the premises without re-
suits. Other bricks fell in the same
peculiar manner The party finally
left the house, filled with uncomfor-
table thoughts of the phenomena.
Mr.. Martin, the owner of the place
heard the strange reports, and declar-
ed his neighbors were trying to run
his tenants off of his place. He went
to the house the following day, in a
| rather unpleasant frame of mind, to
assure the now thoroughly frightened
negroes there was nothing strange
connected with the place. While
standing in the door nursing a griev-
ance against his unkind neighbOrs, a
brick suddenly dropped by his side.
He was satisfied that something en-
tirely out of the ordinary was happen
ing: and not waiting for further de
velopments, he left the house with a
much kindlier feeling for his neigh
bors than the one he took there.
Later, Mr. Martin had the house
torn away, for no one would use it
and its canny associations disturbed
the nelSnDOrnOOu.
The negroes declared that injured
spirits threw the bricks to show theil
displeasure at the way the woman
had been forced to leave the place.
There is a sequel to the story which
/ is as unaccountable as the occurrence
) itself. Messrs Magruder and Wealth

French Progress Trench By Trench
NEW VIRTUE FOR
ALFALFA is FOUND

In special bulletin just issued by
Dean Thomas F. Hunt of the agricul-
tural department OF the California
State university, direct contradiction
is made of the prevalent belief among
ranchers that exclusive feeding OF al
falfa to dairy milch COWS tends to pro-
duce sterility. Accordingsto Professor
[. IL. Haring of the veterinary science
division, long and careful Investigation
has found no evidence to suspect al.
falfa of having anything to do with
sterility. Professor Harlng declares
that from his observations cattle fed
exclusively on alfalfa showed less ster-
ility than those fed partly with this
fodder or those receiving none of it.
Another boon to the alfalfa grower
Is discovery by the university of a
way to hoodwink cows into greedily
eating weedy alfalfa. The university
tried the experiment of putting the
first cutting of an alfalfa field into
silo in April and feeding it during
July and August to 107 range steers.
together with good cutting of sec.
ond alfalfa hay, and also with rolled
barley. This silage was eaten with
relish.

ROBBED; THEN BURIED
Wells Herald:


One of the most remarkable cases
of the ability of a human being to
withstand exposure that has ever
"ome to the attention of the public
happened last week, when a Mexican
named Pancion Robler, an employe OF
the track department of the Western
Pacific, lie buried in the ground from
Tuesday night until Sunday afternoon
The particulars of the affair are
J difficult to obtain because of the fact
that all parties concerned are MeXi,
cans, none Of them speak English to
any extent. However, as near as can
be obtained the facts are about as
follows:
There were some eight or ten Mex
leans working on the section for the
Western at this place. About the
18th instant the men were paid of
and thereafter spent a day or two In
reyelry-drinking, etc. Last Tuesday
night, Robler, one of the section men,
accompanied by two or three other
possessed some twenty dollars and an
Identification check. During the night
some time Robler was attacked by
his companions, who struck him on
the head with some heavy instrument
and robbed him of his money, the
identification check and a pair OF
shoes from his feet.
The blow he received, together with
the subsequent beating. rendered him
unconscious, and he knew nothing
until Sunday, when he recovered
consciousness and found himself lying
in hole in the ground and covered
over with some ties
He was unable to lift the ties, but
succeeded ater several hours work
In digging himself from the intended
grave. Although he was in very
weakened condition from his nearly
120 hours of exposure and suffering
the man had sufficient strength left
to walk to the Western Pacific depot
wehre he recited in broken Mexican
the facts as given here.
That the fellow had been robbed
and buried in the hole, there can De
but little doubt. Another Mexican
who knew nothing OF what had hap
pened, overheard the companions OF
Robler, after the events of Tuesday
night, state In substance that he's
dead" This Mexican thought moth
ing Of the matter at the time, believ
Ing that the men had been drinking
and that It was idle talk. However
after Robler had reappeared and told
his story, the talk Of Robbers com
panions was revived in the mind oi
the Mexican and he Is confident that
they robbed Robler and buried him
believing him to be dead. Another
significant fact is that the Mexicans
accused OF the crime suddenly left
here and no one knows where they
have gone.
How Robler could have laid where
he was buried all this time and lived
to tell the tale Is remarkable, and
all the more so when It is considered
that on Friday night, during the
period OF his burial, one of the cold
est and heaviest rains of the year oc
Cured. He is now recovering from
his experience and will soon be all
right.

GREAT GOLD PRODUCERS

The precious metal deposits at To.
nopah. New, were discovered in 1900,
when the mining industry generally
In Nevada had sunk to very low
level. The discovery greatly stimu.
lated prospecting and led to the re.
vival of mining throughout the state.
The district has produced silver and
gold to the total value of more than
S60,000,000 from the vein in Tertiary
volcanic rocks.
The discovery of gold at Gold0eld
In 1902 was direct outcome of the
development at Tonopah. The deposits
