SHERIFF FAILS MOB.
Negro Servant Held for Attacking
and Staying Mistress.

Murphysboro, ILL.,, July 31.-The
motive for the murder of Mrs. James
H. Martin, who was beaten and
hacked to death with a Ratchet in her
home here yesterday, was undetermined
today Two theories were advanced
that Mrs. Martin resisted attack,
and that she resisted robbery.
Joe Deberry, the negro house SER
want who was arrested as a suspect,
and who recently was paroled from
the state reformatory, was safely in
the county Jail at Mound City. where
he was finally taken late last night
to avoid a mob that pursued the
prisoner as he was taken by the sher-
iff to Marion.
mob formed at Marion and the
prisoner was taken to Harrisburg
then to Carmi and finally to Mound
City
Deberry maintains he is innocent
of the murder. A physician examined
overalls and shirt discarded by De-
berry. He found a blood spot on the
overafls and on putting the shirt in
water, he noticed blood in the soap
suds.
Governor Dunno, now in Ohio, tele-
phoned Sheriff Gibson today that if
he needed assistance ne could tele-
phone to Lieutenant Governor O'Hara
to send the national guard, but the
sheriff informed the governor the
prisoner was out of danger.

With these developments Great
Britain is greatly concerned. Some

Russians Upbraid Allies.
The Russian press, according to
feels that the western allies should
have initiated some movement in
France or in Belgium to relieve the
strain on Russia, as Russia did by her
invasion of East Prussia With
events shaped as they now are it is
realized here that Russia has lost the
initiative for the remainder of the
summer, which will enable the central
powers to strike at either France,
Belgium, Serbia or Italy.
By the occupation of Lublin, ninety
seven miles southeast of Warsaw, the
Austrians have cut the Russians all
important means of communication
connecting the whole southern Rus
sian front between the Vistula and the
Bug rivers.
The Russians have been battling
desperately to prevent the Teutonic
allies from gaining possession of
the Ivangorad-Lublin-Ch railroad,
which for some distance parallels the
Vistula. The Russians rushed to the
front new reserves and veteran troops,
whose ranks had been recruited to
full strength. These forces admins
tered serious checks to the Austro-
German forces, although exposed to
merciless artillery fire.

A military railroad built by the
Russians south from Lublin during
their occupation of Galicia through

the Austrians in solving the problem
of communication.
German aviators flying over War
saw report that the Russians are
evacuating that city, according to a
news dispatch received by newspaper
at Geneva, Switzerland, from Laibach,
Austria.
Evidence is accommodating that the
Russians in Warsaw and it's vicinity
are destroying all property that might
be of value to the Germans. They are
even devastating farms and grain
fields.

NEW LINES THREATENED
Petrograd Deeply Disturbed by Ger
man Advance in Kovno Province.

Petrograd, July 80 (Via London,
July 3D.-Crossing of the Vistula
at several points on pontoons and eff
forts of the Austro-Germana allies to
construct bridges across the river,
curiously enough, have elected less
discussion among Russian military
critics than the crossing of the VieprZ,
near Travniki, or the advance of the
Germans southwark from Bausk,
which lies between Riga and Ponie-
wesch, in Kovno province.
Operations against Kovno naturally
are regarded as interesting because of
the Importance attached to it as one
of the strongholds of the prospective
new Russian line. The Germans, pro-
ceeding from the southwest have
reached the advanced positions of
Kovno, and also are pushing north
eastward from Suwa1ki. Meanwhile
the Russians are defending gallantly
their positions on the Narew between
the Vistula and the Vieprz and on the
Bug. They claim notable successes
in the sector Chmiel-Piaski, where
they caused their antagonists heavy
losses and took 1000 Austrians pri-
soner in the SokaI region.
