Huron, Feb. According to tar
ifs received at local railway offices,

FIST FIGHT IN
Plaintiff and Defendant Have a Tilt
Over Decision Rendered.

Herrick, Feb. 5.-A Herrick court
room was the scene of an exciting
battle royal between two litigants,
and as a result the aggressor was ar
rested and fined on the charge of
contempt of court. The case of Luke
hart VS.. Burgess had just been tried
when the personal assault was made.
Lukehart, who is the postmaster OF
Herrick, instituted the suit to recover
from Burgess the value of some
goods purchased at his store. Bur-
CESS claimed his minor son had pur-
chased the goods. The court award
ed the plaintiff the amount of his
claim. Burgess then made a person
al attack on Lukehart and it was
with difficulty that the men were
separated. The court then imposed
upon Burgess a fine for contempt
Lukehart now has caused the arrest
of Burgess on the charge of assault
and battery.

MONTH OF
IL Is Really the First Spring Month
Regardless of Calendar.

Chicago Evening Post: February
Is the first month Of spring, although
March has that honor of men and of
the calendar. In this latitude the
vegetation begins TO spring in late
February, and If %springing is not a
sign of spring, what is? On Wash
ington's birthday II the man who
doubts that spring has arrived will
take a walk into the country that
skirts the damp lowlands at the base
of some southern sloping hill, he will
find the swamp willows in bud and
very likely the skunk cabbage point
ing a painted spear at the sun.
The blackbirds and the meadow
larks reach us in late February.
Sometimes perhaps a dozen or two of
robins will show themselves in this
month, but these first redbreasts,
probably, have been with us all win
ter and, therefore, cannot be thought
on as heralds of the spring. Robins
occasionally stay all winter among
the cedars. If they can get food and
shelter, they are careless OF the cold.
The meadow lark and the crow black
bird frequently reach the fields In
February, and as they have come
from the south 1t must be that they
have answered the call of spring.
In February the sur makes itself
felt. Spring Is warmth, and the earth
of our northern fields is warmed by
the rays of the mounting sun. The
owls get noisy in February. 1t is In
this month that the great horned
owls fancy turns to mating and
ho~mesteading. The nest of this owl,
with the mother bird covering the
eggs. frequently is found in this cal

WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
CIATED PRESS.


New York, Feb. Special: The
Russian naval army has been coming
more prominently into the war of
late, and Russia officially reports the
sinking of a German torpedo boat by
a Russian submarine off Cape Moen,
Denmark.
While undoubtedly heavy lighting
is in progress in the eastern war
zone, there is little that stands out
from the ordinary engagements
which have characterized this cam
paign, with the exception of the ex-
tended fighting now going on in the
C%arpathians between Russians and
Austrians and Germans for the STRAIT
egical positions which possession of
the great passes would give.
In this battle the Russian often
sive has been strong, but Vienna re-
ports that at Beskid pass the Rus
slams have met with heavy losses.
According to this official report the
Teutonic allies captured 1000 pris-
oners in a struggle for important
heights which were stubbornly de
Tended, but which finally the Rus
slams yielded.
In the west there are brief reports
of German attacks and repulses, but
nothing of a spectacular nature.
The Turks have been repulsed
twice by the British forces on the
Suez canal near Toussoum, thirty-fvt
miles north of Suez, where they at
tempted to throw a bridge across the
waterways, and near Ell Kantara, for.
ty miles south of Port Said. where

A FAITHFUL WOMAN
Sidelights ON the Character of Lillian
NJ. n. Stevens.

Loyalty to Christ became the key
note Of Mrs. Stevens life service, as
shown in the countless acts OF kind
ness with which her days were filled.
When asked soon after she became
national w. c. T. L. president,
What is your special ambition at
the present day." she answered with
sweet and solemn resolution, ITO
devoutly love God and unselflshly
serve humanity Jane Stewart.
When she began this work, tenn
perance was a moral issue. She
leaves 1t not only a moral issue, but
the greatest economic issue of the
age. She worked with all the dignity
and persistency of patience, justice
and prudence, with a mind fixed up
on one great purpose-the liberty of
the race from the enthraldom of al
cohol, and the destruction of the Ii
quor traffic. She worked for many
years against general approval and
popularity. but her opponents seldom
met her in the open forum. Her foe
has long been a coward who worked
in the dark and stabbed in the back.
The pendulum of popular approval
has swung back and forth and the
enlightenment of a public conscience
been dulled by greed and falsehood
or has been quickened by truth and
a love of humanity. Through all
this struggle this noble never
faltered. With an answering pur-
pose she worked to the very end
always pleasant, always patient. al
ways consistent, with that kindness
of nature which always %sustains one
in the pursuit of right. Her life's
work makes a great chapter in the
history of our state. Her memory is
sacred to us all.-Gov. William T.
