LONDON, April 22.-HilI No. 60,

British clinging tenaciously to the
ground taken by assault Saturday,
Counter attack after counter attack

but the British hold is still disputed
by the Germans and the end Of the
lively and costly fighting is not yet In

The British losses have not been
announced, but are estimated at well
over 1000. The Germans are believed
TO have lost more than 1000 men.
The French drive in the direction
Of st. MihieI is about the only other

Carpathians to a large extent, while
practically nothing has been heard OF

the west for some dayas and barring
heavy storm. the ground will become
harder daily, condition which should
cause increased activity on each sile.

taking OF Hill No. so is largely local
matter. but it considers this engage.

a great relief to the town Of Ypres so

therefore, reduced the inconvenience

The very sad intelligence reach
ed Dresden last Saturday morn

grams to Miss Ida Baxter and

the news OF the death OF a dear,
beloved friend, Forrest Killebrew
Beeler, daughter Of ]. W. Kille-
brew, former register of this
county, and granddaughter of
Esq. ]. M. Ridgeway of Martin.
Mrs. Beeler had suffered for
several months of rheumatism,
but her friends here were not
aware Of her critical condition; in
fact, she was not presumed to be
critically i'll until Just a day or SO
before her demise. Mrs. Beeler
was reared in Dresden. She was,
as a girl and maiden, quite
popular here, and the informa-
ton of her untimely death, COM
ing to her in the prime of beauti-
full young womanhood, she being
in her thirty-seventh year, has
caused many a sad heart among
her girlhood friends here. She
was a beautiful girl and in her
womanhood she was a lovely
woman, possessing a most alma
Bile disposition. We knew her
we'll and could not help but
mingle our tears with those Of
her bereaved family, of which she
was the universal pet, being the
only daughter. She is survived
by two chiIdren-a boy and a girl,
one six and the other about four
years Of age. May the God of
hosts protect, guide, comfort and
console these little fellows and
may the aged parents find heart
ease in the blessed thought that
over yonder's chilly waters will
be reunited family.

Crank Shoots Morgan.

Glen Cove, N. Y. July 81. P.
Morgan, head OF the banking house
Of ]. P. Morgan & Company, was
shot twice today at his country
home near here by Frank Holt, a
native American, a former student
and instructor at Cornell Univer-
sitY, who was to have bacome the
head of the department of French
in the Southwestern Methodist
University at Dallas, Texas, next
fall.
Both shots took effect in the
region Of the hip. A bulletin, is
sued by specialists at his bedside,
late today stated that there were
90 unfavorable symptoms and
that Mr.. Morgan was resting
easily.
Holt was overpowered by Nor
gan and Henry Fiske, the butler
in the Morgan household, who
grappled with him in the hallway.
He was locked up in Jail here and
from his cell issued a written state
ment, saying that he had intend
ed no harm to Mr.. Morgan, but
had come to Glen Cove to persuade
the banker to stop the shipment
abroad Of munitions'of war in this
country. He went into the Nor
gan home, he said, with a pistol in
his hand and a stick Of dynamite
in his pocket, intending to remain
there till Mr.. Morgan did some
thing"
Another loaded pistol was found
in Hollis pocket and more dyna-
mite was in a suit case which he
had taken to the Morgan house.
In addition, there were numerous
newspaper clippings in the suit
case, all bearing on the European
war.

Mr.. Morgan, the victim Of the
bullets which Holt fired today,
was said by specialists at his bed
side to be resting we'll tonight.
No vital organ, the physicians
announced, had been involved in
his injury. The physicians, how
ever, declined to state the precise
ocation Of Mr.. Morgan's wounds.
Junius Spencer Morgan, eldest son
If the fnancier, was asked to
le6ne the exact nature of the in
uries. After comforting with the
physicians, young Mr.. Morgan
asserted they had decided to add
to their previous bulletins.
Holt, by his confession and the
detailed description of the bomb

assert. Immediately after his con-
