terday afternoon.
A lighted lantern is alleged to have
been used as a weapon in one OF the
encounters. The. suit was brought by
Warder! Neel, the. son Of. Robert Neel,
a wealthy farmer OF Gladys Creek,
who alleged -he was struck by the
lantern. Curtis Vincent was neld for
court on a charge Of felonious as.
sault. A bail bond .of $500 was fur.
nished and Vincent was released.
The two factions OF young men had
started to q. literary society meet
ing, each young man with his best
girl on his arm. Bad feeling had al.
ready been engendered by the sing.
ing OF the parody on Vincent and the
horse. When It was learned that
the. Literary society meeting had
been postponed the two factions left
the school house, but encountered
each in a a,vacant field. Then the fight
started between Neel and Vincent.
Z The girls in the crowd tried to act
as peacemakers. but were pushed
aside. Other young men became en-.
gagged in a series of encounters and
soon the girls gave up the task OF
mediators and became mere specta.

Ernest r. Bell and Attorney Harry
Shaw appeared for the state and the
defendant, respectively, at the hear.
ing yesterday.

The Austrians were pressing forward
in Galicia and Bukowina. Today these
roles appear to sbesreversed. Russian

and although the Germans are cling

and they are being slowly forced back
to their, own frontier.
Other news dispatches reaching
London set forth that In the south the
Austrians and the Hungarians con-
tinue to fling themselves with great
bravery, and even greater loss against
the Russian line. These onslaughts
have not yet abated.
The Russian general stan declares
they have brought mo gains, while the
German contingent in the CarpatIlians
has been reduced to three army corps.
according TO reports in London, which
leave the Austro. .Hungarians to bear
the brunt OF the fighting!
In the meantime, the allied fleets
are slowly battering their way up the

known. single serious loss among
the ships. The Sultan Of Turkey. ac-

that the real defenses OF the strait

It can be said that from the British
point OF view, the situation today
whenever fighting Is going on is taken
as favorable to the Allies.
The South African rebellion has
been crushed. the Turkish invasion OF
Egypt seemingly has been abandoned.
The reports from the eastern battle
front are favorable.
