HELD FOR WIDOWS MURDER.

Mrs. Nichols, Bound and Robbed of
$4,000 in Gems, Died in Fright.
New York, Sept. 9.-Owney Talas,
Russian Finn, for two and one-haIf
months hallboy in the home of Mrs.
Elizabeth Nichols, the aged widow
who met death at the hands of
masked men, who robbed her of gems
valued at $4,000, was arrested after
he had confessed, the police assert,
having played a part in the crime.
He was formally charged with muir
der. The masked robbers looted the
premises. Apparently their first act
was to strip the diamonds from their
victims fingers. The earrings also
were taken. The value of these gems
was placed at about $4,000 by Mrs.
Nichols nephew, Maitland F. Griggs.
Mrs. Nichols was the widow of
James Edwin Nichols, founder of the
wholesale grocery firm of Austin,
Nichols & Co. She was reputed to be
worth about 100000 and It was
known that much of this was invest
ed in gems, which she kept in the
house. She was sixty years old and
quite stout Because of her physical
condition, Mr. Lord said, it was rea-
sonabIe to assume that she had died
of fright.

STORM HITS OC0NOMOWOC
Electric Light and Telephone Wires
Damaged and Trees Blown
Down.

Oconomowoc.-A peculiar storm
struck Oconomowoc and for a time
tornado was feared. The clouds came
from the northwest and we're so black
that objects but few blocks away
could be seen and the lights had to be
turned on in business houses and resi-
dences. A very heavy rain fell, but
the storm passed on toward the south
west, causing no damage in this yicin-
ity. A second storm came up shortly
after, being accompanied by a high
wind, which did considerable damage
to electric light and telephone wires
and to trees. The storm was general
throughout this vicinity, but no seri-
Gus damage is reported.

CROP BREAKS U. S. RECORDS.
Total of 5,641 600, 900 Bushels of Grain

Total of 5,641 ,0oO,oo Bushels of Grain
Is Forecast as Yield for 1915.
Washington, Sept. 10.-AI records
for grain production in the United
States have been excelIed.
The government September crop re
port, issued on Wednesday, estimated
the yield of wheat, corn, oats, rye and
barley at 5,641, 100000 bushels, an in
crease of 100000 bushels over the
August returns, and a gain of 689, 000-
600 bushels. or IA per cent, over the
final returns last year. The three lead
ing grains-wheat, corn and oats
will reach 5,374,000,0O0 bushels, &C
cording to the federal report. The de-
partment of agriculture sticks to the
100000, 000-bushel wheat crop theory,
and its latest estimate of 981, 100000
bushels is within 100000 bushels of
that mark. Well informed grain
traders and growers believe that the
wheat crop will exceed 1000, 100000
bushels. These figures indicate 49,
100000 bushels in excess of last year.

Russian Left Relieved by Victory
at Tarnopol.
5000 PRISONERS ARE TAKEN
Petrograc Statement Says That Large
Amount of War Booty Was Also
Captured-Czar Expresses
Thanks for Victory.

Vienna, Sept. 11.-Continuing their
terrific attacks to cut the railroads.
from Lemberg to Kiev, the Austrians
have crowned one phase Of their gen.
eral action with success, capturing the
great Russian stronghold OF Dubno.
In the capture of this fortress the
Teutons have obtained command of
the railroad lines from Lemberg
through Dubno to RoYno and thence
to Kiev and Odessa. Dubno is one
Of the triangle of fortresses protect
ing the approach of Kiev and is the
second to fall, Lutsk having been cap
tured several days ago. This leaves
| only the third fortress, RovnC, in the
way of rapid advance toward Kiev
and the outfanking of the great Russ
| army, which has fallen back from
Brest-Litovsk
The Austrian landwehr and cavalry
entered Dubno on Wednesday. They
| are already advancing to the north
east, and if they take RovnO, only
about As miles away, it is believed
| that they can drive rapidly northward
to the aid of Won Mackensen's army,
which is advancing toward Pinsk on
the road to Moscow.
Military authorities here attach
| great Importance to the capture Of
Dubno and assert it may mean the cut
! ting off of large Russian forces in the
| marsh district far to the north of the
fortress triangle and southeast of
! Brest-Litovsk.
! PetrOgrad, Sept. ia Russian VIC
tory in eastern Galicia resulting in the
capture of 5000 German troops and
! 80 guns is announced on Thursday in
| an official statement issued by the
war office here. Enormous losses
were also suffered by the enemy in
killed and wounded, the official state
ment says. It characterizes the result
| of the conflict as a complete German
defeat"
The emperor, having received a re-
port of the defeat inflicted upon the
! enemy, sent an order to express to his
valorous troops his joy and thankful
ness for their success and the heavy
| losses inflicted on the enemy.
An official communication from Pc
trograd claims another big Russian
success in eastern Galicia. Following
their reported victory at Tarnopol, it
is stated that southwest Of Trembowla
during the 7th and 8th the Russians
took as prisoners $50 officers and T.
900 men and that the Teutons re-
treated hastily toward the River Stry-
pa. Russian captures since Septem-
Der 3, Sereth front, total 383 officers,
over 1900 men and a great quantity
of guns.
