hate to kill him but we will, - was the
concluding sentence of a notice found
posted to-day threatening death for
County Judge II. III. Denhardt, the de-
struction of Bowling Green by fire and
its utilities by explosives.
The notice was the second within two
weeks promising punishment for Judge
Denhardt unless he was instrumental in
freeing Thomas Burns, wrestler, of
Ironton, Pa, and Clarence Stem, of
Springfield, Tenn, who are awaiting
trial before him on the charge of high
way robbery. 1t was found on the ap-
proach to wooden bridge spanning the
big Barren river here. The structure
was saturated with kerosene and de-
stroyed by fire early to-day
The first warming was regarded as a
hoax, but in statement to-day the
authorities say they are convinced the
situation is serious, so much SO that
Judge Denhardt has ordered an investi-
cation.

John T. Allen, Cincinnati agent for
the Ohio Humane Society, who is in
Harrisburg to-day seeking requisition
papers for a man arrested in Pitts
burgh for the Cincinnati authorities,
this morning told the Harrisburg po-
lice the result of the autopsy held on
the body of Frank G. Hohl, the Harris
burg man who was killed in Cincinnati
after robbing three banks and mortally
wounding policeman.
"The autopsy showed" said Mr..
Allen, that Hohl had not eaten thing
for three days and that the only thing
he had in his stomach was whiskey and
some drug"
Allen did not recall the kind of
drug. Its presence, he suggested, ac-
counted for Hohl's recklessness in
doubling on his tracks to engage in a
fight with the policemen.

GERMAN SOIL is
FREED OF ENEMY
Great Battle in the Carpathians Pro-
ceeds While the Russian Attacks on
the Warsaw Front Apparently Have
Subsided-Quiet in the West

London. Feb. 12.-An official state
ment from Petrograd to-day makes it
clear that the Russian invasion of East
Prussia is checked and that the in
vaders are retreating to their own ter
ritory. Germany's version of the
events which brought this about has
not been given, and it is not known
whether there has been heavy fighting
or whether the Russians are merely fall
ing back before the largely reinforced
German army. With the withdrawal of
the Russians, German soil will be freed
from hostile forces, except in a portion
of Alsace.
Battle in the Carpathians
No further details have been re-
ceived of the great battle in the Car
pathians, and on the Warsaw front the
Russian attack which followed the
latest German effort seems to have sub.
sided. Corresponding quiet prevails
along the western front.
The Portuguese Foreign Minister
has announced that his country will
carry out the policy decided upon early
in the war, involving adhesion to the
treaty with Great Britain requ.ring
Portugal to assist her with troops.
Portugal now has about 10000 men
under arms. The Foreign Minister did
not state whether immediate action
would be taken to throw the army into
the field with the allies.

ing of His Flight Across the Seas
and of His Enlistment as a Soldier
in European War

dered his wife in Steelton, on Novem-
Der II, 1913, by slashing her throat
from ear to ear and hacking her body

letter which Lonear wrote to an ac-
quaintanee living in Mlddletown, one
of force of laborers employed ON the
Pennsylvania railroad
The letter was received in Middle
town this week, but its contents were
not made public until to-day. 1t was
written in the Servian tongue, bore
the Servian postmark and, among 9th.
er things, contained paragraph which
translated, advised the friend to ''tell
the Steelton eonstables to go to HI
for they never will get me now."
The only reference Lonear made ia
his crime. was the message to the Steel
ton constables. 1t was a brief letter
telling that Steve is well and enjoying
himself and "having a good time
fighting against the Germans.
The story of the murderer's flight
and his present whereabouts was re-
lated by two of the men who read
the Loncar letter, TO Adam Souillard

employed in similar capacity with
the PENNSYLVANIA railroad and stationed
