Stay In the track when driving on

wise given to automobile drivers by
County Road Superintendent Jones.
He said that 1t Is easier to keep
gravel roads in repair when Q single

flee gave out a report on the progress
of the wal which reads as follows:
Tuesday was marked by %redoubled

as well as that of the enemy, and by
a series of German attacks of relative
secondary Importance, all of which
were repulsed with serious losses for
our adyersaries as compared to the
number of men they had engaged.
In Belgium the German heavy ar
tillery gave evidence of its greatest
activity on the front OF the Belgian
troops and particularly against the
various points of support which these
troops have been occupying for some
time past in the region of the User.
Between the Lys and the Somme a
German regiment attacked a British
position neal Guinchy and at first
drove back the English soldiers. After
a series of counter attacks the Brit.
ish troops %reoceupied the German
territory they had lost and then ad
vanced into new territory, taking pos.

Burke, Feb. 3.-The quick wit and
keen observation of a woman frus-
trated the plans of a daring horse
'''rustler" and resulted in the recov-
cry of the stolen horses, but the
horse thief made his escape. after
firing one ineffective shot at the Of
ficers who, put on his trail by the
woman, followed him so closely that
he was compelled to abandon the
stolen animals and make a run for it
to prevent his capture. Mrs. Peter
Smith, wife of the proprietor of a
store and the postoffice at Mullen,
was the heroine of the affair. She
had just finished reading a reward
placard which had been sent broad
cast through Gregory county, an
%nouncing a reward for the recovery
of a bunch OF horses stolen from w.
+. Gardner and G. A. Vance, Gregory
county ranchers, and the capture of
the thief, when she glanced out of
one of the windows and saw the
horses described being driven past
the store. As oon as the rustler
had departed she notified the off,
GERS by telephone and they soon Were
on the scene, taking up the trail of
the rustler. They followed the thief
with such speed and persistency that
he abandoned the horses in a canon
near the Snake creek crossing. While
the officers were taking possession Of
the horses the rustler appeared on
horseback on a hill above them. He
fired n shot at the officers and then
disappeared.
