has made a formal offer Of the island
of Cyprus to Greece as soon as
Greece undertakes to intervene in
the war on the sides of the allies,
The Daily Telegraph makes tais an
nouncement this morning.
Thus far" says the Daily Tele.
graph, Greece has not replied to the
offer OF Cyprus. Our Athens CORE.
spondent informs us that 1t is be-
lieved the offer will create an excel
lent impression in Greece, since It is
an actual present concession and not
mere promise which Germany may
suggest and never carry out"
The Daily Telegraph in an editor
ial, claims that its report is based
on good authority. The newspaper
points out that the offer differs from
the German offers to Greece, mas
much as It is not contingent upon
the final triumph OF the triple entene
but would take effect as soon as
Greece performs her part in the sug.
gested agreement.
"The sooner We all recognize that
purely chivalrous motives are not
prominent in the Balkan politics Of
today, the better" the Daily Tele.
graph adds. THE cession of Cyprus
to the state to which most of its in
habitants are related / race and
history clearly involves n- departure
from the principles upon which we
have taken our stand from the begin
ming and it comes with especially
happy effect from the power to which
Greece owes her possession OF the
Ionian islands"

Farm Residence Burned.

A destructive fire occurred last Fri
day morning on the old Maschger
farm, known as the August Maschger
eighty, located about three miles
northwest Of the village, and which
is now owned by DR.. I. L. Porter, who
purchased the property last spring.
The old residence, which was being
remodeled, was totally destroyed as
we'll as a number of tools belonging
to the carpenters at work on the place,
Messrs. Wallin and Krogstad.
When the fire was discovered, which
was about 10 o'clock, it had gained
rapid Roadway, the building being in
flames. The carpenters were working
at the barn and no one was near the
building at the time. The last load
of lumber for the finishing of the
interior work, had been unloaded only
short time previous.
The origin of the fire could not be
accounted for except that it was thot
it might have been due to the explos-
ion of some roofing cement, which
had been placed on a stove to heat.
Mr.. Wallin, in attempting to save the
tools, was badly burned about the face.
Mr.. Krogstad had practically all his
tools there, while Mr.. Wallin was for.
tunate in having only a smaller part
of his outfit burned.
The house was a 2Ox28 structure
in the main part, with a 12x12 kitch-
en-, and was nearly completed when it
was destroyed. DR.. Porter carried no
insurance on it, although negotiations
had been commenced for taking out a
policy, consequently it is complete
loss to him.-Atwater Republican

DETAILS OF DEATH
OF WILLARD LETT
Young Man Who Escaped From State
Hospital Farm Killed at Cotton
wood Two Weeks Aoo.

Following is the account Of the death
Of Willard Lietz, the young man who
escaped from the State Hospital Farm
near this city couple of weeks ago,
and who was killed by No. 81 at Cot
tonwood:
A horrible accident occurred on the
railroad tracks near the depot Tues
day night when young man, about
twenty-five years of age, was killed
by the north bound passenger train.
The victim, a stranger here, escaped
from the State Inebriate Farm, near
Willmar, some time Tuesday and made
his way as far as Cottonwood where
he was seen late in the afternoon and
evening. About midnight he made his
appearance at the depot and in con-
versation with night operator Brill in
formed him that he had made a mis-
take in getting out Of Willmar, expect
ing when he left there to go to St.
Cloud instead of coming here. When
the north bound passenger train ar
rived shortly after two o'clock, he
stepped across the track to the oppos-
tie side of the train presumably to
escape notice of the train crew. A.
ter the train had started it is thought
that he made an attempt to catch hold
and swing onto the rods under the
sleeper but missing fell under the
coach, the rear trucks of the sleeper
passing over his body about the cen
ter and cutting off his left arm above
the elbow. Hearing someone yell
about the time he fell under the cars,
the train was brought to stop but
not until life had. been crushed out
of the unfortunate man. Coroner Rob-
ertson was called and decided that
death was accidental. He was identi-
fed by number of letters found in
his pocket bearing his name and ad.
dress, Willard LeitZ, Willmar, MINI.
One was from his mother, Mrs. Alice
Leitz, residing at $50 Adams St., Min
neapolis. Among other things the let
ter read that the family would be
very much disappointed if he did not
get home to spend Thanksgiving, and
it is probable that he was on his way
home from Willmar by way of St.
Cloud. He was fairly we'll dressed
but penniless.
The remains were removed to the
Foss Furniture store, prepared for bur-
ial, and were consigned to .Minneap-
olis.-Cottonwood Current.
