My second hope rests upon the

But my greatest hope Of secur-

to the death of Blakeny seemed
TO be differently viewed BY the
jury who did not think Voss at
all justiiiAble in so quickly shoot
ing down Blakeny as he did. In
fact, as stated by the Jackson
Sun, the jary evidently had the
idea that the alleged insult to
Mrs. Voss aud daughter never
occurred but was hatched alter
the doctor had stained his hands
with murder. DR.. Voss' bond
was fixed at 1000 pending the
case being heard by the Supreme
court and the bond was given.

CAPTURE
.ERZINGEN

: LONDON, July 26.-The Brit
ish have captured Pozieres. Gen.
Haig reported today that the
whole city is In our hands. West
ward the territorials advanced
further, capturing two strong
trenches"
The capture Of Pozieres endan-
ger the Germans near Thiepval.
The British encirclihg movement
westward may force a new 'ier-
man retreat.
The Australians and New zea-
landers gained foothold at Po-
zieres last week. Furious Ger
man counter attacks failed to dis
lodge them.
There were three days of des-
perate bayonet fighting, and the
Germans poured death from a for
titled windmill northwest of the
town.
Machine guns bristled from
every house, and cannons were
concealed among the tombstones
of a cemetery nearby.
Despite furious defense at
Anzacs, the Germans were driven
from house to house and the
whole town was finally occupied.

Shows Every Stump
Where Bandit Hid

During our rattlety-bang ride
over the loose rails and rotted
ties, Conductor Purdy pointed out
places of interest along the line.
He showed the stump behind
which Judd Case, alias Bill lay
lor, famous highwayman, hid IA
years ago when he held up Steil-
accom- car, robbing the passengers
of $500 in money and valuables.
Case was shot dead before he es-
capped.
We passed a large white resi-
dence, and the car made grace
full letter IS" curve around the
house.
That's old Colonel Whites
home," explained "Purd." when
they built the line, they asked
Col. White where he wanted the
track OF go through his property.
He said that he wanted it so that
he could see the cars coming
both ways. So they built loop
around his house."
Purdy knows everyone in Steil-
accom- and along the route. Most
{~t-them he calls by their first
name.
