GAL COX Is HELD IN CLINTON
 CASE
Cox Is Man Who Rode to Clinton House, With Scarborough, on Night of Murder; Held in the County Jail With Other.

Cal Cox, for many years & resident of the Huachuca section. during which time he has been engaged in the eat tie game, is under arrest and in the county jail at Tombstone. facing a charge of being an accessory to the murder of Jack Clinton.
 The last sad rites were held oyc- the remains of the Palmonias rancher yesterday morning Father Mandin oniciated and interment was made in the Catholic plot in the Evergreen cemetery. The services were held from the O. K. undertaking psrlors and were attended by many Of the friends of the deceased.
 Cox was arrested about the same time that Scarborough was caught in Benson, though the suspicion pointed at the latter in a stronger light and most of the attention was directed to him. It was Cox who rode up to the Clinton home on the fatal Friday night.
 According to the story told by Cox, when arrested by Deputy Sherifs Brakefield and Newell he was asked 1 to go to the Clinton place by Scar borough who was passing by his camp Cox declares that he did not know that Scarborough was going to make Iany trouble. He further declares, and is borne out by the testimony of Clln tons daughter at the coroner's in quest, that he never dismounted iron his horse when the shooting occurred
 Both men are in the county pail ir Tombstone The preliminary hearing has not been set as there seems to b' some doubt in the minds of the Pros ecuting Attorney and the Sheriff as tC the precinct in which the killing oc cured. The preliminary will, how ever. probably be held in either Nae' or Hereford within the next few days

 The German general Von Mackon- zen. is reported to have seized the railway connecting Bawa Ruska with Lemberg. thus cutting the off retreat of the Russians northward. Accord ing to the latest news from Austrian headquarters, the Teutonic allies are now within nine miles of the linn s of Lembere.

In . the latter region the French claim Co 1 have made advances beyond the cen.- etery at Netzeral the loss Of which town is now officially admitted by Berlin.
 Wonder is expressed by German military critics over the Ausuo-Ger- man advance toward Lemberg in the last few days. They had expected tho Russians to make final stand along the Grodek line Instead, Grand Duke Nicholas, commander fin chief of the Russians, not only retired quickly from this position but evidently rec ognizing his dangerous predicament also ordered the withdrawal of the Russian forces from south of the Dnei. ster river.
 England today turned its interests from actual warfare to the provision of sinews of war, the House of Com mons having provided the government with a blank check, the size of which is to be limited only by the patriotism and resources Of the British citizens. The trial, in Africa of General Chris tian Dewet, one of the rebel leaders, ended in a verdict proclaiming him guilty of treason It is not expected, however, that the death sentence will be imposed.

 AT LAST
Reported Break Between 0bre- gen and Carranza and De- parture of Angeles for Boston Reason for ConjeCtureS.

WASHINGTON, June 2l.--The un- expected arrival in the United States of General Fiipe Angeles, Villas principal military expert, since the split of the Constitutionalist move ment, and the persistent rumors, de- spite the denials, of friction between Carranza and his field leader Obre- gon, has given rise to speculation in official circles here, as to whether certain elements of the contending factions are about to inaugurate a def mite movement to bring about peace in Mexico as urged by the president in his recent statement.
 Angeles passed through Chicago en route to Boston where he will visit his family He deniedd any break between himself and Villa Although disclaiming official knowledge, Villas agent here intimated that Angeles is commissioned to discuss plans with the Washington government and some leading supporters of Carranza includ ing Obregon and members of the Car ranza cabinet, whose resignatiOns were accepted
 1 Carranza, who thus far has declined to accept Villas offer for confer ence to devise plan for the reestab- ! lishment of constitutional government formally notified his Washington rep resentative that the reports of a break between himself and Obregon were without foundation. Notwith- standing this, however, officials here are inclined to the belief that Obregon and other Constitutionalist leaders
 who thus far have stood with Carran- ga in his uncompromising attitude are now ready to talk peace,
 The resignations from the Carranza cabinet of Rafael Zubaran, Jesus UT
 ta, Escudero Verdugo, friends of Ob
 regon, are regarded in official circles
 as particularly significant in view oI ?. Carranza's refusal to consider Villas appeal for g conference.

GERMANS CONSIDERING
 REPLY TO UNITED STATES.

BERLIN, June 2l-Foreign office experts have commenced the consider ation of the German answer to the American governments note concern ing submarine warfare and the first draft of the document will presumably be finished by the end of this week. As the reply will this time be sub mitted to Emperor William at his headquarters after it is threshed out between the departments concerned it will probably not be ready for tran smissiou before the middle or end of next week
 There is no clear indication as to the probable nature of the note yet obtainable From the emphasis naval writers continue 10 lay on the alleged British practice of flying neutral flags and encouraging merchantmen 10 attack submarines and the impossi- buity for submarines to observe regu- lations concerning visitation and search under these conditions, it might be anticipated that this argu' ment will be the kernel of the reply.

ANTON LANG'S SAD END.

Cedar Rapids Gazette: The death
of Anton Lang, who has portrayed
the part of Christ in the Passion
Play at Oberammergau on the field
of battle, is one of the saddest of all
the tragedies Of war.
In private life Lang was potter
of such skill and consciousness
that his wares were valued wherev-
er art pottery is appreciated. He
had studied the life of Christ from
childhood and so far as was human
ly possible had made the character
of the Nazarene a model for his own
So intense had been his long-contin-
ued devotion that Lang had lost the
distinctive features and expression
of the Teuton and had become as a
living picture of the character he
sought to portray. Thousands OF
Americans, men and women from ev-
cry state, have seen Lang and see
ing him have been rewarded fol
their journey to the village where
christianity is fact if it is any
where.
Lang was sent into the army. The
scenes and experiences rent his sou,
and Frustrated his body. He was
sent to Bavaria to recuperate. Again
he was sent to the front and was
killed in battle. To him death must
have been ten thousand times vel
come. Greater sin could not have
been committed by compelling car
dinals, bishops and pastors without
distinction of creed to bear arms
Men have shown grief or wrath ov'
er the destruction of cathedral OF
some other work Of man dedicated
to sacred uses.
Here was the grand temple of the
soul of Anton Lang forced before the
guns Of an enemy; his life work de-
graded: his future stripped of hope
He was compelled to offend the
Christ who was his God in very
truth. The fabric of an existence
that had been all beauty was tram
pied under foot. Can any victory
Offset such a sin?

WORKING FOR FARMERS.

Cedar Rapids Gazette: At the
risk of earning a frown from a GER
tain number of sportsmen it may be
said that the farmers who object to
the killing of quail at any season OF
the year have right and reason on
their side. One authority has made
the statement that each quail is
worth from $3.50 to $500 per year
to the farmer on whose premises 1t
makes it's home. The value is reck-
oned from the work done by the bird
I in destroying harmful insects and
consuming the seeds of weeds. The
quail helps production and by so do
ing contributes to increased yields,
lower prices and the general good.
AS an article of diet the quail is
admittedly appetizing, but every
one killed represents an outlay so
large as to be entirely disproportion-
ate to it's actual value. The custom
of shooting them is really habit
and not based on any idea of gain.
Years ago when trapping was the
vogue, farmers themselves were fore
most in destroying their feathered
friends. The real philosophy of ma
ture was not understood.
The farmer is coming to the con-
viction that animals he formerly
deemed pests work for him" volun-
tarily and at very low wages. They
find their own lodgings and for
much the greater part Of the year
board themselves" The skunk or
mink may occasionally levy tribute
on the hen-coop. If he does it is
only an indication that grubs, field
mice and his other natural game
have become scarce and he is driven
to take risk or starve.
Webster City freeman. [volume] (Webster City, Hamilton County, Iowa) 1884-1946, 1915-10-26

Weeks, recently, "and 1 am glad that
a concerted effort is being made to
protect the law against unjust at
tack. The migratory bird law is
popular among genuine sportsmen,
and among the farmers, who know
the value of the migratory bird as a
protection against destructive in
sects, as is proven by the fact that
at least forty states, since the pass
age of the federal law, have adopted
regulations in conformity with it.
Illinois, Washington, Connecticut,
Maine, New Mexico, North Dakota
and Wisconsin have passed laws pro-
hibiting hunting between sunset and
sunrise, and it is these wise laws,
conforming with or augmenting the
federal migratory bird law, that
have had such splendid effect in
bringing about a partial restoration
of a great national asset which was
fast becoming exhausted through
unrestricted shooting. I sincerely
hope that the good work may pro-
coed vigorously"
The state of Maine estimates the
annual income from it's game re-
sources at thirteen million dollars,
of which about six hundred and fifty
thousand dollars can safely be allot-
ed to the returns from migratory
waterfowl, and Oregon values it's
waterfowl at one million dollars an
nually.

TO DIVIDE US.

A dispatch from France declares
that it is stated ION good authority
though the authority is not given
that suggestions have been made in
the diplomatic circles of European
chancelleries declaring that the cas-
lest solution and the one most &C.
ceptable to all the warning nations
would be the partition among them
OF the United States of America. The
United States of America are a most
inviting prize as compensation fol
the sacrifices rendered by these ma
tions. and an arrangement on the
basis of the respective relations OF
the different nations is surprisingly
practicable" Now what do you
think of that? It's rather a cold
blooded proposition and the people OF
this country are not to be consulted
Another dispatch of similar nature
sought to tell just how the European
countries would parcel US out among
themselves. Iowa was to fall &c
Germany. That arrangement nigh,
be satisfactory to the Germans, il
any there are in this state who
would prefer to be under a monarchy
and the reign of William, but they
are the only ones who could be made
to consent to such an arrangement
1t is very doubtful if there are doz-
en- Germans in the entire state who
would like that sort of thing. How
ever, there is no probability of any

Printing the News.

Times-Republican: The Webster
City Freeman-Tribune having hoped
that 1.-The big snobbish newspapers
will not devote more than page
per day to the forthcoming marri-
age of President Wilson" the Sioux
City Journal proceeds to argue that
it is good news, that people want
it and that they have a right to it
and concludes that if the people
who read the newspapers want a
page a day about it they should have
lit.
Tut, tut, why all this excitement?
Both are right. The announcement
of the presidents coming marriage
was the big news story of the day
to most readers, bigger than the
war or Clifford Thorne's speech or
Harding's shadow boxing with issue
or Carl Kuehnle's bank statement.
Folks wanted to know. They read
it avidly and talked about it in ev-
cry home. And anything that sets
the folks talking about it at the sup
per table or around the family lamp
is news and don't you forget it.
But the Webster City paper hints
at fault nevertheless and one that
should be amended in news reports.
There is no better reason for dilut-
ing news than for diluting milk. 1t
ought to run at least three pounds
Of butter fat to the hundred. When
the newspapers dilute their news
they do it for the same reason that
the milkman waters his milk. And
watered milk and watered news are
both poor stuff. II the coming we'd
ding were to be diluted to make a
page a day it would be a blue mix
ture.
A newspaper should hold mirror
I'D to it's clientele wherein the pass
ing throng is reflected, where its
reader may see the principal events
of the world pass in review as they
take place or occur, a moving pic
ture of the face of the earth. 1t
must show the presidents wedding,
net neglecting the marriage Of AL
geron Edward, eldest son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Jabez Jonathan Jones with
Gladys Mae, second daughter OF Mr..
and Mrs. William Henry Brown at
the residence of the BRIDES parents
1913 Back street. That's what a
newspaper is for. But there is no
good reason for watering the milk
except to save the trouble and ex-
pense of milking.
To print what people want to
read is not snobbishness but it is
fitting to study and understand not
only what people want to read but
whether they want to read 1t and
whether it should be printed in a
newspaper that is daily visitor and
