DEATH FROM LOCKJAW
Splinter Costs Life of Wife of Trip
County Man.

Trip, Dec. 7.--Lockjaw develop
ing from an apparently trivial injury
caused the death of Mrs. Louis Gold
hammer. aged Al, wife of promi-
nent Tripp man. About a week ago
she had the misfortune TO run a
splinter into the upper part of one of
her feet. Little attention was paid
to the injury after the silver had been
removed, until the foot became pain
ful and an aching sensation was felt
about her jaws. A physician and
nurse were summoned, but too late
to save the woman's life. Her death
occurred about nine days after re-
ceiving the injury. She was the
daughter of a local clergyman, and is
survived by her husband and three
children. One of the children is a
married daughter who lives at Del
mont. She was widely known in
Trip and vicinity and was very
popular.

adhered to. In some instances,
where even pronounced reductions
from the regular price will not bring
goods within the one dollar limita-
tions, there will be carried out pol
icy of refunding a dollar from the
regular purchase price. In one or
two places dollar i'm cash will be
given to some of the more fortunate

Pierre, Dec. THAT the game
laws of the state should be obeyed.
and that prairie chicken which
dashed through her front window
should be given its liberty was the
view OF Mrs. John Weis, OF Seneca,
but at that she claims that the state
is responsible for the damage done by
its birds, and she sends bill for $3
to State Auditor Handlin, with the
items OF glass $2.75 and 20 cents for
setting the new glass. Auditor Hand
lin has turned the claim over TO the
state game department as the proper
one to handle IL and look after the
damage done by protected game.

Mitchell, Dec. Tt never rains

pie between Mitchell and Platte are
thinking because of the announce
ment that another road has been in
corporated to be built between the
two towns. The new road is incor-
porated, has filed plats and has asked
for a permit to build from the state

senger agent for the Milwaukee road,

effort to defeat the construction of

Gently incorporated by j. Rosholt and
the Winstead Bros, which plans to
cover the same territory. AS the
Milwaukee line now controls all the
section of the state between Mitchell

able that 1t should fight the con-
struction of rival line into the ter
ritory.
The proposed road, as near as can
be ascertained at this time, will fol-
low approximately the same route as
the Dakota & Southwestern, the only
noticeable variation being that the
latter runs from Mitchell to Ola, and
then to Platte, while the new project
runs direct to Platte and then north
west into the Ola territory.

ADJUSTER ON GROUND
THOUGHT THAT THE CENTRAL
SCHOOL FIRE LOSS WILL BE
ALMOST TOTAL.

Present indications are that the
schoolboard will be granted the use
today of all the improvised school
rooms they require to accommodate
the classes which were housed In the
4 Central school. lost early yesterday
morning by fire.
The following quarters have al
ready been placed at the disposal of
the board:
4 Three jury rooms and large trial
room on the upper floor of the court
house.
Reading rooms of the Carnegie IL
brary.
! Upper floor of the fire station.
Council chamber In the city hall.
4 Use of two rooms In the State Nor
NAL school
Members OF the board are of the
opinion that the use of additional
quarters will have been rendered be-
fore night. 1t will probably be some
days before all the pupils can be sup
piled with text books.
Origin Still n Mystery.
Nothing new developed last night
or today as to the cause of the fire.
and 1t is considered improbable that
the source OF the blaze will be known.
There lis considerable diversity of
opinion as TO whether ii will be pos
sible to use again the four walls of
the burned structure. The west wall
is bulged considerably, and by some
the opinion is expressed that even If
the walls are considered safe it would
be just about as cheap to tear them
down and erect new, modern wing
as 1t would to remodel and repair
the burned part.
II. II. Holdridge. secretary of the
school board. said today that 1t ap-
peared that the loss is just about to-
tai The original cost of the building
was 100000, and since its erection
about $40. 600 was spent by the board
in improvements. The fixtures were
valued at about $4,000.
Adiusters On the Way.
The $4,000 insurance on the
building Is divided among the fol-
lowing companies: Aetna Insurance
Co., Fire Association of Philadelphia,
Royal, Hartford, Home and Glens
Falls Insurance companies. 1t is
thought that adjustment of the loss
will be made by representatives OF
the companies not later than tomor-
row. None of the adjusters would be
required to travel longer distance
than from the twin cities. Word was
received that one adjuster, who will
act for three of the six insurance
companies, will arrive In the city be-
fore night.
Word of clearing away the debris,
preparatory to rebuilding, will prob
ably be commenced as soon as possi-
BILE after the adjustment is made.
Some Just Study Rooms.
The manual training and domestic
science classes will be resumed in the
two rooms to be used by Central
school pupils in the Normal school.
| The trustees of the library have
extended the use of the reading room
there for study purposes only.
Glasses will be held i'm the trial room
at the courthouse and probably In the
council chamber. The three small
jury rooms will be used for study.

MANAGER W. A. PARISH FORMALLY
 DENIES CHARGES AGAINST HIM
Explains Increased Cost of Operation of City Gov crmment Due tG Charter Provisions and Shows Why Police Force Was Doubled

Denyme in practically every par ticular and explaining al length such ol his acts as form a basis for charges of incompetence and miscon- duct field against him, City Manager W. A Parish yesterday presented for nal answers to the allegations set forth in proposed resolutions submit ted to the commission by Attorney r. II. Hayes The answers Manager Parish states. are presented at the request of the city commission. not however admitting the regularity. sufficiehcy or legality of this pro- ceeding. and especially objecting to this proceeding upon the grounds that there is no ordinance of this commission, Tor provision of law. Y. hich warrants or authorizes this proceeding."
 The filing of the formal answers, which take up not only the charges of incompetence as set forth in the form of resolution presented to the commission on January -. and to which were attached affidaVits from W. A. Costigan. Earl Parker and George O. Brisbois. but the supple mental of misconduct as well. brings the entire affair to that state where everything is now in readiness to be gin at 1 o'clock this afternoon the formal hearing of the evidence of the proponents and the formal evil dence of the city manager
 As was expected the answers are principally q formal denial of all that is contained in the charges. but the surprise comes in the position the manager takes in denying the regularity of the proceedings. It is the contention of Manager Parish that the city charter does not con template any such hearing as that planned. nor does any provision of law.

Page and Sir Edward also discussed the steamer Wilhel- nina. lcaded with food for Germany which is being held at Falmouth for d prize court and the status of which has not yet been determined
 The British government has eHi- denced in many ways that it is un- terrified by threats of attacks on shipping and that it has no thought of making concessions to Germany. hut on the contrary. is preparing to tighten the restrictions upon freight movements toward that country. Statements in parliament also have indicated that it is the determine ton of Great Britain to make re rrisals if Germany enforces her threat to destroy merchant ships to- eether with their crews
 Should the efforts of the commis- sion for the relief of Belgium to buy the cargo of the Wilhelmina fail the evidence of the owners that the food is destined to the civil population of Germany alone probably would be submitted to the prize court.

German Offensive. Strongly Supported by Fresh Troops, Is Being Pushed With Vigor Along East Prussian Frontier
RUSSIANS STILL
 CLAIM STRATEGY

ASSOCIATED PRESS pIsPATCHl

LONDON, Feb. 16.-For the time be- ing questions C diplomacy are arous- ing more interest than the actual fight ing of the war, although military movements Of first importance are taking place. especially along the east ern line. The German offensive strong ly supported by fresh troops. is being pushed with great vigor along the East Prussion frontier and in Palond north of the Lower Vistula.
 The Russians have now evacuated East Prussia. except a small area near Lyck, where they are opposing the German advance and also are appar- ently falling back in North Poland for the Germans announce they have oc- cupied Flock and Biolsk which the Russians captured from them short time ago.
 Heavy fighting continues in the Car patians and Bukowino. In BukoWino the Russians are falling back. but they continue to hold the Carpathian passes further west and are putting up 0 strong resistance. Here the fighting is taking place in deep snow and both sides are suffering severly. There is little change at the western front.
 While the Germans seem to have in- flicted heavy losses on the retiring Russian armies in the east, military men here and newspaper correspon- dents at Petrograd continue to refer to the Muscovite movement as a strate- gical retirement to the fortified line which lies along the Niemen River
