 WOMAN AND PRIEST
Banning Coroner's Jury Exon- crates Father Rainfels and His Nurse For the Killing of Peter Glennon

BANNING. Calif., May 3-The cor oner's jury, in ten minutes, oxonerated Rev. Paul Kainueld ana Mrs Clara Sherer. his nurse, from blame for kill ing Peter Glennon at the health camp in Palm Springs. last Friday night.
 Rev. Rainfels admitted he fired one shot. But his revolver and that with which GIennon tried to kill him and Mrs. Sherer with, was of the same cal ibre and the jury was unable to de- eide from which revolver the fatal shot was fired. Mrs Sherer, a wid- ow with an eight year old son. was the principal witness She declared Glennon's infatuation with her was re- sponsible for the tragedy. He pro posed marriage to her week before, she said. When she refused him he threatened to kill her.
 This statement was corroborated by Mrs. Margaret Shea, owner of the cabin in which the invalid priest and his nurse were installed just a day or two before Glennon attempted to kill them
 He came to the cabin about nine Friday night" Mrs. Sherer testihed He burst in the screen door, flourish ing a revolver and announced he had come to kill Father Reinfels and me Don't Pete. I cried, remember my little son. It was dark in the cabin al the time but Father Reinfels, who had been dozing, turned an electric hasi light upon Glennon and he began shooting.

GULF | IG II l QUESTION
 Is BIG
Government of United States
 To Make Thorough Investi-
 gation of Reported Wreck Before She Acts In Matter
TWO MESSAGES FROM
 ENGLAND RECEIVED
If Proven That German Tor pedo Caused Wreck U. s.
 May Ask For Indemnity for
 Ship and Victims Families

WASHINGTON. May 8. - Pending an official investigation into the cir cumstances of the wrecking Of the American steamer Gulnieht in the English Channel, the United States government win defer an diplomatic representations. as well as any pro nouncement of policy. Two messages from American Consul stephens at Plymouth reporting that the Gulf light was torpedoCd of Scilly Islands Saturday and that the captain died of heart failure, and two members of the crew were drowned were received.
 Bryan called attention Go the fact that the source of his authority is nos given by Consul stephen and that the messages read as if he was reportug Ion information he heard rather than facts learned Bryan said he would ask for a thorough and complete re- port from the SmeritSl consul and would direct American Ambassador Girard at Berlin to make similar iu- quiry of the German governmeut for such facts as it might have on the sub
 ject, the secretary anuounced. he did not wish to make any predictions as to the course of the American gov ernments policy until an the facts were in his possession. Officials are careful not to take for granted the truth of the reports that a German torpedo struck the Gulneht. Until there is defisite proof no statement bearing on the delicate point of re- sponsibiity Is deemed -eNpedieut. Should an investigation bear out the dispatches claiming that a German submarine made an attack. the Unit ed States probably will demand an indemnity sufficient to cover the loss es incurred by the ship, and compen- sation to the families of the victims. lt is thought probable an expression of regret will also be requested

WATER TEST ON
 IN THE DENN PROPERTY
Steam Up For Tests on Water Levels in Denn; Possibility
 That Property May Resume Operations Excites Interest

For the purpose of testing me water in the Denn mine steam was gotten up Sunday in the boilers of the engine house of the property. During the next few days successive tests will be made to determine to what extent the water has invaded the working of the rich. idle property.
 It is expected that a determination of the water in the mine will be made for the purpose of reporting, accur- ately, to the directors of Deuu who will meet in Duluth on Friday of this week It is understood that up. on the determination of the water rests, to a considerable degree, Jhe decision of the directors as to the re- opening of the property.
 Further interest has been created in the property through the reported investigation of Denn by officers of the C. & A. company It is quite possible, according to information
 emanatlng from a reliable source that C x A may handle the Denn wa ter from the 1900 level of the June ton. Should this be done there could hardly be any doubt but that the property would soon be in operation
 Continued activity at the Denu mine and the rmored intentions of its di. rectorate has pushed Denn stock from the neighborhood of S7 to a quotation yesterday Of S1O5O. The action of Denn stock is considered fair blro meter of the directors feelings in re- gard to the property. for it is said that Denns heaviest stockholders have been adding to their holdings oi ihe issue

Austria and Germany Claim to Have Achieved Nota- ble Victory In Carpathians Against the Russians
CARPATHIAN OFFENSIVE OF RUSSIA ENDANGERED
If German Claim Is Correct It Places Russian Carpathian Troops In a Very Danger ous, Untenable Position

LONDON, May 3.-Accordrng to oi- rcial statements from both Berlin and Vienna, German and Austrian arms achieved a notable victory in West Galicia, smashing the entire Russian center along the front for many miles or as Berlin roughly puts it. across the whole of the western tip of GaHcia from nearly the Hungar- ian border to a point where the river Dunajac joins the Nistula. which is right at the frontier of Poland
 Though the eight thousand prison CTS. whom the Teutonic allies say they have taken, do not compare with the number some of Field Marshal Von Hindenberg's rushes netted him in the north. the achievements, if sub- sequent reports bear it out, will mean at least temporary check to the Russian forces which have been ham mering their westward since the fall of Przemysl.
 Berlin also claims the Russian right is threatened. So far as claims go. it was an Austro-German day A number of vessels. neutral and other wise. fell victims to German submar- ines. Norway being, particularly a heavy loser
 England and France make no claim to any gains in the west the British contenting themselves with saying the German attacks on the scared Hill Sixty, ia Flanders. have been beaten back The French confirm this. The Germans maintain they are pushing forward to the northwest oi Ypres. toward St. Julien village, which they captured after an attack follow ing their first extensive use Of gas but which they were forced to yield under counter attacks
 In the fighting in the Baltic provinc es also, Berlin finds cause to rejoice rejecting the Russian contention tha il is only a sporadic cavalry raid.
 Berlin wireless comment received tonight said it seriously threatens tho Russian right The fact that troops could be moved so far northeast be fore they encountered resistance il considered reflection on the Rus sian intelligence system.
 If the Austro-German contentious relative to the Galicia situation, ar' correct in the opinion of some Eng fish military writers, it will mean th whole Russian campaign in the Car pathians is seriously affected, makin extremely precarious the position O the Russian troops pressing down th southern slopes toward the plains O Hungary. The line between the Vii tula and the Hungarian frontier wa about forty miles east of Cracow Tn Austro-Germans have been defendin it stubbornIy ever since the beginnin of the Carpathian fighting. Genera British comment is somewhat reser' ed pending the Petrograd version C the operations.
 Beyond the admission of the Petr' grad officials that a desperate batu has been engaged in since saturda night on the front from the lower N da to the Carpathians. no turth' news has come through concernin the fighting in which both Berlin an Vienna claim the victory.

We have stepped from the Old Year
to the New, and we are reminded that
after all our fears and apprehensions,
to many of US, it has been very kind
year. To some we know that the dark
side has been turned. but after all,
there is gleam of sunshine for all if
we but look tn it. We would not for
get that to look upon the homes of
some of our readers since last New
Years day, a shadow has fallen and
mantle of sorrow has wrapped its in
mates in its sombre folds.
Other homes are like the empty nest
that hang on the withered bough, desc
late because the life and song went out
with the birds. New homes have been
made and old ones have been severed,
but in our onward march. it is not well
to stop and weigh the load each one
carries. No life is all sunshine or all
storm. If the New Year brings pros
perity. let us rejoice; if adversely let
US be brave. The sunset gate of life
will swing shut upon some of US ere
the close of another year. Let US see
to the record left on this side. If our
\dear ones and friends leave us for the
summer land. let not the memory of
harsh words spoken by US. add to the
pangs of separation.
Goodbye, old year. After all we
loath to part. Many precious memoir
les, as well as many sad things to re-
member will be forever linked with
thee. But time bids US part and how
ever severely tnou hast chasteneth US,
yet we find our hardened feelings re-
lenting and a spirit Of charity prevades
our being, We forgive as We hope to
be forgiven. In humility and love we
bow our adieu and welcome the New
Year with naught but good resolves
and high ASPIRATIONS that zach coming
day will see our lives better, purer and
nobler IN every act and purpose.
