tered the 500 line depot about II p. m

blank. He compiled a message and
handed it to the operator. The latter
glanced over the scrawled words.
Governor of Utah." the message
read, "Hillstrom innocent. am the
mNderer.-William Brown
While the operator was studying the
message the door opened and closed.
The stranger had stepped out.
The operator ran to the door,. He
saw nothing. The man had vanished.
He called Sheriff Morgan by tele-
phone. That official began search
for the sender Of the message.
& Meanwhile telegraph wires carried
the message to Salt Lake City where
Joseph Hillstrom, reprieved by Gov
ernor Spry, Of Utah, until Oct. 16 at
the request of President Wilson, is un-
der sentence to be shot to death for
the murder in January, 1914, of j. G.
Morrison, grocer, and Morrison's

Panama Canal
Closed by Slide

Panama, Oct 4.-Lieutenant Colonel
Harding, the engineer in charge of the
Panama canal, has sent message to
the secretary Of war at Washington,
recommending that President Wilson
issue an executive order officially clos
ing the canal until Nov. l.
Colonel Harding explains that it will
be impossible to clear the canal before
that date and perhaps not then. He
favors refunding the tolls to those
ships which have paid them and are
now awaiting passage, and also that
arrangements be made to .tranship car
goes Of vessels and forward them to
their destination.
The conditions caused by the new
slide are the worst in the history of
the canal, according to Colonel Hard
ing. More thans / 100000 cubit yards
of earth must be removed before the
canal is again deep enought to permit
the passage of ships. se

OUR OWN LITTLE TOWN

If you meet a man who is down in
the mouth, who thinks that his town
is all wrong; just take him aside or
give him ride and hand him this
quaint little song: There are fam
cier towns than our own little town,
there are towns that are larger than
this, and the people who live in the
timer towns all the city excitement
will miss. There are things that you
see in the wealthier towns that you
can't in town that is small; and yet
up and down there is no other town
like our own little town after all. It
may be that the street through the
heart of our town isn't long isn't wide.
isn't straight; but the neighbors you
know in our own little town with a
welcome your coming will wait. In
the glittering streets of the glittering
town with it's palace and pavement
and thrall; in the midst of the throng
you'll frequently long for our own
little town after all. If you live and
work and trade in our town in spite
of the fact that it's small, you'll find
that the town-our own little town
our own little town-is the best kind
of town after all"

Germans Will
Smash Serbia

London, Oct. 4.-The time allotted
Bulgaria by the allies through Rus
sia, to turn her back on Germany
Austria and Turkey, expired this aft.
ernoon, but the expiration of the time
limit brought no immediate surface
indications to clarity the situation.
Whether the Russian minister
promptly left the Bulgarian capital as
his government; threatened, provided
Bulgaria declined to submit to the
Russian ultimatum, whether Bulgaria
dissembled asking for further time, or
whether King Ferdinand and his sup
porters merely observed silence, was
not known in London up to IL o'clock
tonight. Either the censorship or the
vagaries of wartime cable service, or
the two combined, resulted in keeping
London in the dark, although definite
news is expected hourly.
Events have been transpiring, how
ever, in keeping with the fast ap-
preaching crisis involving the entry Of
the Balkans in the European conflict.
Russian warships have appeared in
the Black sea, off the Bulgarian port
of Varna; French and British troops
have landed at Saloniki, a Greek port,
so miles south of the Bulgarian from
tier, and Bulgarian troops, which have
been moving for days, have been
massed in great numbers along the
Serbian border.
From the central powers side have
come amplifed reports of the great
weight of men and metal being piled
up preparatory to blow against Ser
bia from that side, as the first step in
what the popular imagination has ac-
cepted as a fact-German determine
tion to smash through the corner OF
Serbia and link up with Bulgaria thus
creating a new battle front from the
Austrian boarder to Constantinople.
Delayed cables told of the landing Of
the allied troops at Saloniki. With
these reports, arrived comments from

Vets Garry
Minneapolis

Minneapolis, Oct 4-Hennepin
county, of which Minneapolis is county
seat, voted to retain it's 433 saloons in
a county option election today.
That the prohibition forces had been
routed by majority of at least 5000
was indicated at midnight when re.
turns from 1SO precincts out of 1872
gave the vets 37,048 and the drys
1852. Frank E. Aid, head of the
saloon forces, estimated at midnight
that the vets had carried the county
by from 5000 to 5000.
The vote in municipalities outside
of Minneapolis was generally in favor
of the vets and the country vote
seemed to give the edge to the drys.
Rev. George B. Stafford, head of the
dry organization, charged "gross
frauds and illegal voting as respon-
sible for the large vote polled by the
wet forces.
TT now appears that the vets have
carried the election" said Mr.. Stafford
shortly before midnight. IF it had not
been for the grossest frauds and H.
legal voting there would have been
no doubt about the results. We are
still in the ring, however, and if we
are defeated shall bide our time"
/ During the day charges were freely
made by both sides and much bit
terness was shown at polling places.
Three men We're arrested at the Seven
Corners charged with violating the
corrupt practices act. 1t was said by
the police these men were employees
of brewery company and they were
"wet" handbills. #
Intense enthusiasm marked the
street demonstration here tonight. AS
bulletins appeared on the board be-
fore newspaper offices the crowds
would burst into cheers. On the roof
of one newspaper building search
light swept the skies, the color thrown
on the clouds indicated the trend of
the votes. A white light signifed the
drys were leading and green light
showed the vets ahead.
AS the vote see-sawed early in ,ne
night, thousands watched the rays Of
the searchlight as is reflected alter
nately white and green. Adherents OF
the vets burst into prolonged cheers
as the green light showed continuously
for 20 minutes shortly after 10 o'clock,
indicating a wet victory. His /
Most of the population Of Hennepin
is within the city boundary but as
there are saloons in all villages the
vets and drys ,waged their fight vigor-
ously everywhere. Minneapolis, with
a population Of 325, 600 has 399 saloons
and it is said to be the largest city
in the country to test the prohibition
issue by ballot. At the headquarters
Of both the vets and drys many tele-
