the various funds of the county
and state, as charged from the
tax books, and other resources.
We find further that he has

as evidenced by quietus from
the state treasurer, receipts
from the county treasurer for
all county accounts, andreceipts
of treasurers Of the incorporat-
ed cities and towns, for all re-
venues collected. We find that
the collector has paid over to
the treasurer, in overplus of
salary arising, or accommodating
through his commission account
the sum Of S1,659.09. In check
ing this office, we took a basis

Former County and Probate

We find that this officer
namely, I. M. Waldrip, has not
made annual report and settle

1t appearing that the former
commissioners checked said of

therefore take up the month of
October, 1914, the unexpired
term of his last term, and find
that for said month, allowing
that his salary for October in
the sum of 5000 was taken in
to account by said former com
missioners that said officer is
due the county for fees and al
lowances in overplus of salary
the sum of $347.S5, for which
amount treasurer's receipt dat

SARAH BERNHARDT
LOSES RIGHT LEG
Famous Tragedienne Undergoes oper-
alton, Which She Calls "ReIease
From Bondage"-Refuses to Permit
Delay When Surgeon Is Detained.

Bordeaux, France, via Poris, Feb. %
The right leg Of Nine. Sarah Bern
hardt, the famous tragedienne. was
amputated today at the ST. Augustine
hospital at Arcachon.
The operation, which was made
necessary by an affection of the knee
which had caused much suffering for
several years, was performed by Pro-
fessor De Luce, of the Bordeaux uni
versity. Professor Pozzi was to have
conducted the operation yesterday.
but he was called to the colors to serve
at the Val de Grace hospital in Paris,
and he found it impossible to leave his
duties for several days.
Nine. Bernhard refused to submit
to a delay in the operation, which she
called her release from bondage. and
it was decided that Professor de Luce
should perform the operation.

Havana, Feb. 22-Jack Johnson, the
pugilist, accompanied by his wife. Sec
retary, sparring partners and SER
want, arrived here early today from
Cienfuegos. He appeared in good con-
Glition and declared he never felt bet
ter. johnson said his only anxiety now
was to reach Juarez, Mexico. In time
for his match with Jess Willard on
March 6. He was much annoyed on
hearing of the present chaotic condi.
tions in Mexico, especially the difficult
ties which would confront him in going
north from Tampico. He declared,
however, he was determined to push
ahead and if no regular steamer was
available he would charter vessel to
take him to Tampico.
No plans had been made for his ap-
pearance In Havana, Johnson said, but
he will confer with George Bradt, who
holds the Cuban concession for boxing
matches in the Havana stadium, and
might give an exhibition bout with
Sam McVey or Jim Johnson.
The champion reached Cienfugos on
the four masted schooner Henry F.
Krager, which he chartered to take
him from Barbados. The passage,
which was rough, took ten days.

London, Feb. 22.-Germany's sub
marine blockade continues to be the
chief topic of interest in the United
Kingdom, altho shipping apparently is
moving freely. The Scandinavian neu-
trails however, show much alarm over
the situation. sensation having been
caused by the torpedoing OF the Nor
wegian steamer Belridge last week.
Representatives Of the Scandinavian
governments are holding another con-
ference today, the outcome Of which is
awaited with much interest. The ques-
tion of a naval convoy is being consid-
cred seriously at the conference, but
the guarded comments of the news
papers show that it is recognized that
such step might lead to war.
The question of the right of the
crews of five Danish ships to refuse to
sail for English ports is now before a
court which is considering their ex-
cuse that Germany is not likely to re-
spect a neutral flag.
Following the precedent which seems
to have made Sunday a favorite day
for raids. a lone German aeroplane
flew over east coast towns last night
dropping bombs, which did no great
damage.
Fighting in the East.
Fighting in the Carpathians still is
being fercely prosecuted by the Rus
sian and Austro German forces. but
apparently without decisive results.
These mountain passes now are
recognized as forming the most diff
cult section Of the long eastern battle
front. and the impression is growing
that the other movements of both Rus
SLAMS and Germans are merely strategi-
cal operations. designed to affect the
result Of the desperate struggle at the
gateway to Hungary.
The French claim officially not only
to have repulsed German counter at
tacks in the Champagne region but to
have captured an entire section Of Ger
man trenches to the north and east OF
the etwoods taken the day before.
Germans Advance in vossss.
At the eastern end of the western
front the Germans have moved for
ward on the Alsatian front in the
vosges mountains. This is regarded
here as an Indication that the allies do
not intend to make any forward move
Recently the French brought the larger
part of their African army to Nieuport
where it reinforced the French marines
and Alpine chausseurs, holding this
gateway to Calais.
| The action Of the French in with
drawing their troops has met with
some criticism from Belgian officers
who feel they are again left to bear the
brunt of the fighting.
Strategic necessity was the reason
given for the withdrawal.
