 FROM ENGLAND HERE

 Court Cases.

Washington, Aug. 2.-Great Brit aims supplemental note in reply to American representations on inter- ference with neutral shipping, reached the state department today and will be published in Wednesday mornings newspapers with the note received last week on the same subject, and a third not regarding detention of the Amer ican steamer Naches which also ar- rived today
 Secretary Lansing said the supple mental note was reply to the Caveat sent by the United States on July IT, declaring this government would not recognize the validity of prize court proceedings taken under restraints imposed by British law in derogation Of the rights of American citizens un- der international law. The Caveat was filed to avoid any misunderstand- ing as to the attitude of the United States toward the orders in council.
 Officials would not discuss the Brit ,ish communications.
 \ The case of the American steamer Neches, which forms the basis of the third note, involves the right of bell ligerent to seize goods originating in an enemy country, or even in a r1eu- tral country adjacent to the enemy country and supposed to be subject to it's influence, but destined for an other neutral country.

GIRL OF THREE IS
 VICTIM OF BRUTE
Assaulted in Newington Woods While Father is Conducting service at
 Camp Meeting

The Newington authorities are to- day on the trail of a man who is al- legged to have criminally assaulted a three year old girl named Neumann on Cedar Mountain late yesterday aft ernoon. The child's parents were et- tending a camp meeting being held at the Willard cottage on the noun tain back of the home for crippled children. The father, who is mis- sionary, was conducting the meeting, according to the Herald's informant and the little child wandered into the woods which cover the mountain.
 She was missing for some time be- fore her absence was discovered and after long search was found in the undergrowth. The youngster said she had been taken into the woods by a strange man.
 It was then discovered that the child had, been assaulted and a searching party was immediately formed to hunt for the assailant. Considerable mystery attaches to the case, but the Newihgton officers were able to get faint clue. It is said that the man wanted for the crime is farm hand and was under the in- fluence of liquor when the crime was committed.
 Constable Frank l.. Rowley ana Charles Backus have been searching the woods and swamps in Newington since yesterday in the hope of locat- ing the man. This afternoon it was learned that Officer Backus had nb- tained a definite clue to the assailant and had gone to Manchester with the hope of making an arrest.

CALF THIEVES
ROUNDED UP
CALVES WERE BUTCHERED AND
SOLD TO LOCAL SHOo-COW
LEADS THE HUNTERS

Stuart Colt and Geo. w. Hart, both
of the Muddy Valley, were arrested
on the morning Of August fifth on =
charge Of cattle stealing. Geo. Hart
later confessed to the stealing and
explained how they took the calves.
He was taken before Judge Fisk Mon
day and sentenced to two years in the
pen. He was then paroled and IS to
work for H. T. Smizer during, the
parole period. He is to be paid for
his work and part of the money is
paid over to the state. IT Hart COM
plies with parol regulations this mon,
ey will be paid over to him at the END
of the two years. Hart is married
and this, together with the fact that
he had been evidently lead into this
stealing was what got him the parol.
Stuart Colt waived preliminary
hearing Tuesday and was bound over
to district court. 1t is stated that he
will plead guilty as soon as the court
can inform itself as to Colts past rec
ord as this would have bearing on
his sentence.
The arrest of these two men shows
some pretty fast work on the part OF
Assistant States Attorney Lohrke
and Sheriff Erickson. The calves
were stolen on the night Of the third
and the men were arrested the fifth.
The calves were taken from the pas
ture of P. J. Henry, one Of them be-
longing to him and the other to /: O.
Hagen. In telling of the stealing
Hart said he was. asked to 60 into
the deal by Colt who explained how
they could get away with calves by
butchering them and selling the meat
to the markets in Williston. Hart
said they were unable to catch the
calves in the pasture so they lead
away the mother of one of them and
both calves and the mother of the
other one followed. They lead the
COW to the deserted buildings on the
Geo. Hart farm and got the calves
into the barn. The cows were then
driven away. The calves were then
butchered and Colt. who borrowed
team from Wylie Thompson on the
excuse of getting wood, drove to Will
liston by q round about way. He sold
the calves to Wanka under the name
of F. E. johnson and Mr.. Wanka
Identifies Colt as the man who sold
him the calves.
The fact that the men lead the
mother of one of the calves to the
barn was what lead to their being dis
covered so quickly. When the calves
were missed the searchers turned the
COW out and she led them right to the
Hart Barn. The rest was easy. A
search there revealed the heads and
blood was found on the ground where
they were butchered. This made
them suspect, Hart and the fact that
Colt had borrowed team that night
brought him under suspicion. He said
he was going to hawl load of wood
for a party up the valley but when
asked this party said they knew moth
ing about load of wood. .'
Colt was at the Henry farm all win
ter but was working for Wylie
Thompson when the calves were
stolen.
