Meets with Opposition in

GRAFTON, Feb. 5.-The Central
District Telephone Company, whick
is seeking to merge the Bell and Con-
solidated systems in this part Of the
state as the same company owns both,
met with opposition here this week
when company representatives began
to secure signatures of phone users
to an agreement to the consolidation
of the two lines. The citizens de-
manded figures as to the cost Of the
new system and, when these figures
have been produced, 1t is believed that
all opposition to-the merger will be
withdrawn. Fairmont, Morgantown
and Weston have already agreed to the
consolidation.

at Austen, Preston county, fifteen
miles east Of Grafton, is still unsettled.
About 400 miners from the two mines

so far to mediate the matters over
which a dispute arose. It is said thai
the miners asked a straight five cent

Increase wages more than three cents
as they were operating under low

known to be the aftermath Of raise
in wages in most of the coal mines
in this section during the last two
months. Tho raise was not any con.
certed action upon the part Of the
mine operators but was merely the
willingness Of the operators to share
a portion Of their profits from high
coal prices with the men. The mines
such as those at Hiorra and Austen
that were tied up on low price con.

Weighs Only Ninety. Six Pounds
and is Five Feet Two
Inches High.


DENVER, Feb. 5.-A little woman.
who has probably killed more big
game than any other woman hunting
exclusively in America, Is Mrs. Lucille
Willis Of this city. She weighs ninety
six pounds and stands five feet two
:. high heeled shoes and can look the
most savage of wild beasts in the
eye without finching. The most dam
gerous animals which roam the wildsi
OF this continent have fallen before
her rife. She has killed bears and
mountain lions in the Rockies and
captured young bears alive. She has
shot jaguars and ocelots and wild
boars in Mexico. She has hunted the
alligator in Florida and searched the
swamps Of Arkansas for black bear.
With her husband, W. NJ. Willis. she
shoots specimens for the Iowa state
museum. Mrs. Willis has shot big
game in the Rockies two seasons. She
looks forward with more keen JOY to
a hunting expedition than the ordi-
nary woman experiences In anticipate
ing a trip to Europe.

as securely in the glow Of the camp

Captures Young Bear.
It was while hunting alone from a
camp at Burnt Lake, in the Wyoming
Tetons, last year that Mrs. Willis
killed a mother bear and captured
alive her two half grown cubs. A

Report Also Comes of Con tinuation of Russian Ad- vance Through Kurdistan To Warichi, Objective Being Bagdad Railway
Republican A. p. Leased Wire]

Progress against the Italians in Southern Tyrol and on the Lower lson- 70 and a continuation of the Russian advance through Kurdistan to Wari- chi, the Russian objective being the Bagdad railway, are related in the lat est official communications from Vien- na and Petrograd. In the other thea ters there is much artillery fighting but little activity by the infantry.
 The Austrians in the region south and southeast of Trentinsoun and Vienna reports capturing Italian trenches and S,650 men, among them 65 officers and captured seven guns and eleven machine guns. The entry of Austrians into Italian trenches east of Monfalcone, near the head of the gulf of Triest and the capture of ad- ditional men.
 Petrograd reports that the Russian force which recently drove out the Turks from the Rowanduz region is continuing in progress westward to- ward Mosul and the Tigris river region, and is drawing nearer the Bagdad rail- way. To the northwest around Diarbkr the Turks were attacked.
 On the greater portion of the line in Belgium and France the artillery of both the Germans and entente allies are active, especially around Hill 304 northwest of Verdun.
 The Germans have directed another infantry attack against the French po- , sitions west of Hill BOA for the posses ! sion of which theFe has been much ! sanguinary fighting but the manuever was again checked by the French cur
 tain of fire. The Germans in the lake
 region between Dvinsk and Wilma at ] tackled and occupied Russian trenches near Lake Dolje. The Russians, how ever, in counter attack expelled the
 invaders, and drove them back to their
 former position. In the lower Stripa 1 region of Galicia the Teutons launched
 an attack against the Russian trenches but were repulsed.
