DIES In
CALIFORNIA
Mrs. Louise N. Patterson, Former
Montgomery County Woman
Dies at Los Angeles.

Many old friends were grieved to
learn last week that Mrs. Louise M.
Patterson had died Thursday at her
home in Los Angeles, Cal. Mrs. Pat
terson was a daughter of Mr.. VIM.
Raglan, who for many years was one
of the most prominent men in this
section of the State. In early life
she married DR.. J. T. Patterson, who
was then a professor in the college
at North Middletown but shortly af-
forwards they moved to Lexington
where he became president of Ham
ilton College, and there they lived
until his health became impaired,
when they moved to California. DR..
Patterson died in 1890.
Mrs. Patterson was a woman of
wonderful versatility and the in
huence for good she exerted over the
young women with whom she came
in contact at college will ever keep
her image fresh in their minds.
She is survived by three sisters,
Mrs. Newton Reid and Mrs. Laura
Park, Of California, Mrs. d. J. Bur-
chett, Of this county, and one son,
Mr.. G. G. Patterson, Of Los Angeles,
besides many grandchildren and 9TH
er relatives. At a meeting Of the
Board Of Trustees of Hamilton Col
lege the following resolutions were
passed:
''Be it resolved, That we hereby
express our appreciation of the
worth to our institution Of this no.
BILE woman, who shared with her
husband, President j. T. Patterson,
the management Of this institution
during thirteen years Of his admin
istration, and we gladly bear testi-
mony to the fact that her culture,
her bright and happy disposition,
her deep sympathy, her wonderful
knowledge Of human nature, her
motherly heart, her positive convic-
tons of religion and her consistent
Christian example did more to mold
the character Of the young women
of Hamilton during that period than
any other influence in the college.
2. That we deeply mourn the
loss of this sanity woman, who
knew no class distinctions in her de-
sire to cheer and help, whose in
fluence for good was so great upon
all classes of people with whom she
came in contact, and whose life has
been Of untold value to society and
the church.
3. That We express our sympa-
thy to her son, Mr.. C. C. Patter-
son, and to the many relatives
who mourn their great loss, and that
these resolutions be incorporated in
the minutes Of this meeting"
Mrs. Patterson's body will be ere
mated and her ashes sent here for
interment in Machpelah cemetery
where her husband is buried.

whites and Indians are today engaged
In a battle, near Bluff, Utah, such as
might have been expected only in from

Two Indians and one white have so

seriously wounded. Six Indians have
been captured, but with their forces
constantly increasing, the red skins
made an attempt to retake the prison
ers last night. Reports reaching here
over shaky telephone lines, declare
the Indians were repulsed, but no de-
tails have been receivd.
Posses from a half dozen towns are
enroute today to reinforce the men
under U. S. Marshal Nebeker, who set
out to captitras sTse-sSeGat, wanted for
murder. but have become engaged
with the entire strength OF the rene
gade Pi-Utes. One posse from Gray.
son, Utah, has reached the scene. The
others face terrible rides over trails
choked with more than foot Of snow.
The Grayson posse is declared to have
succeeded in surrounding one detach-
ment of Indians, but hesitated to en-
ter pitched battle. The result was
that the Indians dashed through their
lines and under fire CT the posse,
escaped down Cottonwood canon,
were they are now concealed behind
the rocks.
Some reports reaching here state
that the Indians are now in such
numbers that they have practically
surrounded the town Of Bluff. AS a
result Of calls for reinforcements re-
ceived in various towns. reports were
circulated here that the government
had decided to send troops to the
scene. Three troops of cavalry are
declared to have been ordered over
land through Thompson's Springs. 1t
will take the cavalry at least two
days to reach Bluff, however, and

LONDON, Feb. 22.-Last nights
aerial raid over Essex is characterized
by all of the British newspapers today
as the "crownine joke Of the war;"
Apparently It was utterly futile both
so far as the loss Of life or the de-
struction Of property are concerned.
There were no ZeppeIins used this
time. Instead two aerop'anes Of the
largest and most powerful type we're
utilized. It 10 believed that the chief
object Of their flight was to determine
neurological conditions. One bomb
was dropped in Colchester, one in
Braintree, one in CoggesI,alI, one in
Harkstey and two fell in garden
near Colchester. The total DAMAGE
was one house slightly damaged.
The populace Of all Of the towns re-
mained calm, while in Colchester a
procession Of half grown boys and
girls paraded the streets singing:
"The Germans are coming; they
are; they are

PARIS. Feb. 22.-Heavy German
losses in savage fighting in Alsace
was claimed In official dispatches re-
ceived here this afternoon. It was
admitted that on both banks Of the
Fecht. the French were forced to re-
tire. a..
Three German regiments attacked
the French positions near Hohroth,
north Of Munster. The enemy's infan-
try advanced in dense formation. Into
this human mass French shells were
hurled and at closer range rapid fir
ers tore great holes. BY sheer weight
of numbers, the Germans forced re-
tirenent Of French forces to strong
positions a few hundred yards to the
rear.
French gains in the region between
the Arsonne and the Meuse were
claimed in the official ccmmuniaue
this afternoon. The enemy was forced
to evacuate trench that communi-
Gated with other trenches, previously
occupied by the French.
Only desuitory artillery firing was
reported elsewhere along the battle
front In Flanders and France.

PETROGRAD. Feb. 22.-Russian
troops who wore forced to retire from

hastily inthis region and the enemy's
infantry suffered severely.

just entering the defensive war zone
along the German coast, when the ac-
cident happened. Why the Germans
did not take better precautions to
guard cargo destined for their own
mills if indeed the mine was a Ger
man, is a mystery The most reason
able supposition. on the theory that
the mine comprised a part of the
German defenses. is that the Evelyn
tried to move through a German mine
field without local pilot.
1t is possible, however, that the
mine was laid by the British navy.
The English government has reserved
to itself retaliatory measures because
of German mine laying along the
coast Of the British Isles and there
have been recent suggestions that
mines are being strewn in German
waters.
If the mine was neither English
nor German, but was Dutch, it must
have broken from its original moor
ings and drifted north along the Bor-
kun coast. The Dutch government
has mined various coastal areas as a
measure of self protection and it
would be quite possible for one of
these mines to free itself from its an
chorage and drift into German wat
ers. Or the mine might be a drifter
which had broken away from German
or English moorings. German, British
and Dutch mines have all been wash
ed up on the Holland coast. If. under
these confusing circumstances. the
American ambassadors at London and
Berlin are able to fix responsibility,
they must secure confidential infor.
nation from British and German
authorities.

NEW YORK. Feb. 22.-01 a. ny
The destruction of the American
steamer Evelyn off the German island
of Borkum, may have been due to a
German, British or Dutch mine. I'm
less one Of these governments volun-
tarily informs the United States that
it placed the mine where the Evelyn
was blown us, there is no certain way
Of fixing responsibility.
In any case, responsibility for mine
disasters is not closely defined in in
ternational law. A critical situation
would not ordinarily arise between a
belligerent and a neutral nation over
such an incident as the sinking of the
Evelyn. Special circumstances would
have to be proven before GOOD rela-
tions would be strained.
Thus if the mines were not fixed
with contact mechanism, but if it
could be exploded only by electric
wires. worked from the shore. the af-
fair would be similar in its cons.e-
quenCes to destruction of a neutral
ship by a submarine.
II is unreasonable to suppose, how
ever. that any but a contact mine
caused the catastrophe. The waters
where th., Evelyn went down are Ger
man and if the mine was stationary,
it probably was placed by the Ger
mans. But in this case it is difficult
to understand why pilot from Ber-
KUN was not taken aboard the Evelyn.
The Germans have declared the
coastal waters of Holland outside
their new war zone. 1t appears as If
