last night. The Germans made at- tacks at three points simultaneously in the Vosges but all their assaults were checked completely by the fire of French machine guns.
 The French attack in the Champagne was made at point west of Mesbil The French troops charged three times the night passed quietly In the Verdun sector artillery fire continued at Chat tancourt, Fleury and La Laufee.
 The communication follows:
 North of the River Somme the bat tie progressed nicely.
 South of this river our troops, con tinuing their progress during the night in the region of Barleux captured a line of German trenches, situated be- Lamaisonette. We took a total of $50 able bodied prisoners in this sector yesterday and last night.
 'In the Champagne district two sur prise attacks by French troops re- suited successfully. One east and the other west of the Tahure. West of Butte de Mesnil we delivered two at tacks upon a German trench which we occupied and organized along a front of about 500 metres. Here we took 10 prisoners.
 "In the Argonne French recon noitering party penetrated German trench near Four de Paris. which 1t cleaned up with hand grenades.
 "On the front north of Verdun the bombardment has continued in the re- zion of Chattancourt, Fleury and La Laufee. strong patrol of the enemy has been dispersed with hand grenades at point northwest of Fleury
 "In the Vosges district detachements of the enemy attacked our positions in the region of Chapelotte at three diff ferent points simultaneously. They were however, checked by the fire or our machine guns; found 1t impossible to secure a footing. and were complete ly repulsed."

BOOB LAND MIDDLE
NO NEARER AN END
Murdoch Gives Boesche Version
OF Case Now Before Sarpy
District Court.
MANY TURNS TO THE TALE

A statement made by Attorney A.
II. Murdoch representing Herman 6
Boesche, against whom charges were
made by Attorney w. R. Patrick of
the South Side in regard to the re-
instatement of the guardian of Mrs.
Julianne Boob Pope and subsequently
the restoration of her Sarpy county
property, alleged to have been taken
from her, brings the other side of the
case.
Attorney Murdoch denied all
charges made in the statement of At
torney Patrick. In relating his side
OF the story he spoke as follows:
The case was one of long stand
ing when Mr.. Boesche took it up.
Much litigation had been in courts Of
oarpy county over the breaking OF
the will of the late Paul Boob and the
attempt to discharge the existing
guardian. AS | understand it Mrs.
Pope had in her possession altogether
little over 800 acres of land, 800
acres in her own right and the re-
mainder merely at income until her
death when the property would revert
to the children.
Many Lawyers Involved.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Pope and the
heirs were dissatisfied over the trend
of affairs. A number of attorneys
had dabbled unsuccessfully in the
mixup and at one time, two of them
signed a contract to secure the dis
charge of the guardian for a consider
alton of $4,000. The case failed in
county court and was appealed to the
district court where the attorneys
dropped it, 1t was at this time,
think, that Mr.. Boesche took the mat
ter up.
First contract was signed up
which included a remuneration of
$500. This was later annulled, to
make way tor second contract which
includes minimum fee consideration
of not less than $1,000.
Mr.. Boesche after a time secured
a decree in the court of Judge Day
for the discharge of the guardian on
the grounds that Mrs. Pope was COM
petent to manage her own business
affairs.
Decided to a Trustee.
THE entire estate was decided over
to Enos 7. Hughes, a banker OF
Gretna, as trustee. Later Mr.. Boesche
secured loan on the property at the
request of Mr.. and Mrs. Pope, the
amount being $4,000. Two thousand
dollars of this went to Mr.. Pope as
his share of the estate and the re-
mainder was held by Mr.. Boesche as
expense money to pay taxes, court en-
penses and his own fee. At the same
time eighty-tw acres of the land, the
rightful share of the estate to Mr..
Pope was decided over to Mr.. Boesche
from Mr.. Hughes, the trustee, to be
held by my client in trust for Mr..
Pope.
This is the true story of the case.
In 1915 Lewis Leisure, a former

guardian, resigned as guardian, stat
ing that there was no necessity for
the continuance of such an office.
Clerk James R. Wilson was appointed
in his stead.
"The case in district court of Judge
Leslie which comes up Thursday is
merely demand on the part of the
court to show cause why the order to
discharge the guardian should be set
aside.
Defends Boesche's Fee.
THE statement that Mr.. Boesche
offered Clerk James R. Wilson, guard
ian, large fee if he would voluntarily
resign from his position is false.
What Mr.. Boesche really did do was
to prevail upon the guardian to re-
sign in the interests OF all concerned
saying that whatever the court was
willing to award as fee compensation
in case of such action would be pleas
ing to his clients, the heirs and all
concerned. Also the statement that
Mr.. Boesche went to Attorneys Nick.
erson and Langdon Of Sarpy county
and offered them Is per cent of the
estate if they would withdraw from
the fight is false. Another statement
entirely false is that the entire estate
was decided over from Mr.. Hughes as
trustee to Attorney Boesche on the
night of the discharge of the guardian
Only eighty-two acres, the rightful
share of Mr.. Pope by reason of the
settlement in court, were decided t.,
Mr., Boesche to be held in trust for
his client"
Boesche Says Little.
"All of the heirs and Mr.. and Mrs.
Pope were we'll satisfied with the dis
charge of the guardian and the allot-
ment of the estate" he said yesterday.
Il have affidavits from each which
prove this beyond question. As to
the other charges made, they are all
false. The case has been one of long
standing and all concerned were
highly pleased with so successful a
settlement. As far as my fee is con-
cerned, l have an itemized account
of all the expenses of the court, taxes
and other charges made. No one can
doubt but that they are reasonable"

SOUTH SIDE AFFAIRS
Cry for New Park and Boule-
ward Is Still Heard in
South Side.
EFFORTS ARE RENEWED

The cry for a new park and boule-
ward is still heard on the South Side,
Months ago a campaign was started
to have a boulevard built along
Thirteenth street between Riverview
and Mandan parks, but nothing came
of it. OF late residents of the West
Q street district have begun an or
gained effort for a combination
playground and park in their dis
trict.
School Board Will Build.
Work on the new school building
to take the place of the old South
Central schoolhouse at Twenty-fifth
and M streets will start just as soon
as workmen have cleared away the
brick and debris of the old building
just torn down. The Board of Edu-
cation has issued plans for a unique
building one-story, u-shaped af-
fair-to take the place Of the old one.
The playground will be in the center
OF the lot and rooms with light on
both sides will be built in a U shape.
This is calculated to settle the prob
lem of small playground space and
also the question Of light, which has
bothered building contractors not a
little.
Truck Haul Increases.
Truck after truck is passing nightly
through the South Side loaded to the
limit with hogs for the local live
stock market. Stockmen are con-
WINGED that the new plan of trans
portation will become a permanent
as we'll as popular one. To date
more than fifty carloads of hogs
have been hauled to the market over
this route from towns in Iowa rang
ing from fifteen to thirty miles dis
tant.
announcement railroad schedules
are the principal cause for the new
method of transportation. Farmers
have explained that the shrinkage
due to hauling stock ten or more
miles from the farm to the railroad
station is far more than it is when
the swine are hauled direct by auto
mobile truck to the Omaha yards.
Transportation schedules also neces-
state daylight hauling, which takes
time and money, while the truck
hauling can be done far more con-
veniently after working hours, just
before dusk. The system, it is cal
culated, will save considerable money
for farmers of Iowa and the sur
rounding territory who are hampered
by poor railroad service.
Third Try at Safe.
Burglars failed third time in an
effort to blow the steel safe in the
Office of the euro Mineral Springs at
Nineteenth and N streets this morn
ing at o'clock. Manager William
Yaker of the Springs telephoned the
police that he had found his safe
hammered into uselessness, but still
unbroken. Detectives found that ii
had been "soaped" preparatory to
