IN DEATH
Section Hands at New Rock
ford Quarrel and Slay-
ing Follows

New Rockford, n. D., Nov. 23.-The
Great Northern yards near the coal
chute was the scene of an attempted
murder when Frank Caruse fired three
bullets from a revolver into the back
of Mike Vahre.
The two men were members of the
section crew and lived in the bunk
cars near the scene of the crime. The
story of the quarrel that led to the
shooting, as it could be cleaned from
the victim, was as follows: Caruse
missed SO from his clothes when he
arose and accused Nahre of taking it.
The latter denied the charge and the
two men had some hot words. but
finally went to their work on the sec
ton, and as Vahre was stopped over
and pushing a hand car along the
tracks, Caruse who was walking be-
hind him pulled a 38 calibre revolver
from his pocket and opened fire on
the STOPPING man. Three shots were
fired and every bullet took effect in
the back and passed through the
body, perforating the intestines in
twelve places.
AS soon as the victim fell, the
murderer ran across the tracks toward
the reservoir and struck out across
the country toward the north. The
men who were working with the crew
went to the aid of the victim and the
sheriff was notified of the affray.
The sheriff organized a posse and
started a hunt for the man who did
the shooting and in a short time a
large number of men in cars were
securing the country north and west
of town in an effort to capture the
man. He was caught near Sheyenne.
The victim is in very critical
condition. but may recover.

London, July 3.--The arrival OF
German reinforcements has tempor-
arily checked the British offensive
north of the Somme. except at one
point, but the French continue to
smash back the German line south of
the river.
These facts are indicated in the
official dispatches from the German
and French war Offices and press dis
patches from headquarters of the
British armies in France.
The French forces last night scored
the most complete success of the last
"a hours of the great allied offensive.
They battered In the German lines
on a three-mile front directly south
OF the Somme. The disorganized
German regiments were driven rap
idly eastward, the French advancing
to within Ave miles of the railway
town OF Peronne. the immediate OBJ
iective of their offensive. BY oc-
cupying the town Of Herbecourt,
French troops advanced their lines
eastward nearly two miles.
The German official statement this
afternoon admitted q German retire
ment south Of the Somme under
heavy bombardment by the British,
but announced the repulse of all
Anglo-French attacks north of the
river with bloody losses.
This statement was borne out In
a press dispatch from the British
army headquarters, claiming the cap
ture Of o German position near Frle-
court, but describing the situation on
