IBy a STAR Correspondent
Red Oaks Nov. 21.-Mrs. Mary A.
Ianders, rs years old, who said she
lived block from the fatal Moore
home IN villisca AZ the time Of the mur-
der In 1912. was on the witness stand
here this morning IN the Jones' $4,000
slander suit and said that on the Sum
day afternoon eof the murder she saw
two strange men go into the Moore
back yard pick up an ak leaning
against q chopping bleck and examine
1t carefully. On cross examination she
said 1t was nice afternoon. that there
were many people out walking and
that she didn't recollect that the Moore
house was open and that; there were
children playing in the yard,
On further direct examination she
/, testified that on the night OF the MUIR
der she heard a woman's voice:scream-
ing. 20 dear, O dear, don't, don't. She
said she knew Mrs. Moore's voice and
thought 1t was her she heard. When
Mrs. Landers told of this, Mrs. Joe
Stiilinger, mother Of the two little girls
who were killed by the ax-man, broke
down and sobbed audibly.
Mrs. Cora Mccoy. who lived two
blocks from the Moores, said that twice
on the Sunday Of the murder she saw
two strange men 60 by her house, once
In the afternoon and again about dusk.
She said one "resembled" q picture OF
' Bfackie" mansfield. She gave q de-
tailed description OF the men and upon
strenuous questioning from Jones
counsel said that the reason she re-
membered them so closely was because
OF the strdngeness OF their actions.

recent reports OF tie operations
Inns means that converging at
tacKs by Austro-German forces,
moving southward in the jul val
ley and eastward along the rail-
road from Orovosoa. have COM
PEELED the koumanlans to with
uraW from the Oruvosoa region
and execute rapid retreat. This
move, it appears, was made to pre-
vent their reereating armies from
being cut on.
Whether the rapid retreat indi-
Gated has been in. time to save the
RoumaniaiI armies in this region is
rendered doubtful, as the Teutonic
forces are reported to be before
Craiova The railroad from Graf
ova to Bucharest affords the only
convenient line of retirement Of
the jul valley armies.
While the Roumanians have evil
IDENTIFY reached the junction point
Of the jul road, with the main line
at>Filliash, the loss Of Craiova
would effectually bar their way
eastward except across country.
Further eastward in Wallachia
the arrival of Russian troops seems
to have strengthened the Rouma-
nian defense. The Russians took
the defensive north Of Campulung,
according to Berlin. but were re-
pulsed. The Roumanians are re-
sisting persistently in the Alt val
ley,.south of the Rothernthurm
pass, but were compelled to yield
important positions to the Ger
mans.
In the other chief field Of present
military activity, the Macedonian
front, French and Serbian troops
are continuing their pursuit of the
German Bulgarian forces which
evacuated ,Monastir Berlin re-
ports the entente advance here as
feeling out @of the German Bull
gar positions. The new line is in
dicated by press dispatches to lie
about seventeen miles northward
Of .Monastir, and is reported to be
strongly entrenched and defended
in part by fresh German forces.
East of the Monastir region, Ber-
lin declares Serbian attempts to
advance were repulsed. To the
westward the Italians repulsed a
counter attack.
On the Son1me and Ancre fronts
the fighting has been confined to
artillery engagements. y

apparent we shall expect to see him
at work along this line soon. 1t may
be that during very dry season the

good, but in anything like wet sea

allowing the soil and crop roots to be
drowned We do not know II 1t has
been tried or not, but believe sys

outlets Of tile might be closed In the

black. This would also, of course, in
clude closing all the lateral branches
SO as not to accumulate all the water
at the lower outlet.

Jasper Bllnes Writes Of Prayer Meet
Ing Preliminary to This at
kahoka.
TBy Jasper Blines1


On Monday evening the first union
prayer meeting was held by the diff
ferent churches which are working In
unison for real spiritual revival IN
the town of Kahoka. The services
were conducted by Rev. Merley of the
Methodist Episcopal church, and a
fairly liberal attendance showed that
the people are interested in the sue.
cess of the coming revival. The brief
sermon was followed by prayers and
testimonies, and the spiritual welfare
of the people will no doubt be great
ly promoted by the labors Of Evangei-
ist Holcomb, Of Nashville, Tennessee.
