SUES 10 Recover on
PTOmISscFy Note

George J. McFadden, a Plum
mer attorney, filed a complaint
Friday in an action in the district
court in which J. ID. Hennessey
is plaintiff and J. r. Campbell is
defendant. The action is brought
on two promissory notes Of two
hundred dollars each, given by
Campbell to Hennessey May %,
1910, the money being loaned for
the purpose of making a settle
ment on a homestead on the
Coeur d'Alene Indian reservation.
The notes were given for one
year but only about twenty-five
dollars has been paid on them
and judgment is asked for the
balance and interest.
Judging by the number of cases
that he has filed in the district
court Mr.. McFadden is one Of the
busiest lawyers in the county as
he has filed more cases since the
county was divided than any
other lawyer in the new county.

Berlin maintains that by means of the counter attacks the allies drives were checked with heavy loss. but as the Germans make no claim of hay ing recovered the ground taken from them. the indications are that the allied gains on Saturday and Sunday have generally been maintained, and at some points improved, and that the fighting has reached the stage of vicious attack and counter attack which may persist for weeks. It is estimated that the prisoners captured by the allies during the rush will reach a total of more than 25.00O. but this is offset to some extent by the German claims that nearly 1000 French and British fell into their hands

In the meantime the public has been warned to expect heavy losses and that the Germans, already two million strong from coast to the Swiss frnnfiar rainforrarnap+s into line for struggle. the like of which even in this bloody war has not vet been seen.
 Optimists are also reminded that the Germans are likely to put the most dependence on their second and third line of defenses. relying on machine guns, which means q more difficult task before the allies.
 Fighting in the eastern theater brought no important change but England regards the position of the Russian arms as improving daily which strengthens the hope here that .Germany dare not weaken her seven hundred mile eastern front in order to fill in the gaps in the west.
