pared several months before the ma
terials can be obtained.

the belief that the Austro German
troops would hold the Russians back.
"The Carpathians are a natural

officers all declare that sooner or
later the Russians will be pushed
back, If we hold our present lines"

Judge Kneeshaw then went on to
say how he had heard one Of the at
torneys for the PLAINTIFF planning to
hold q meeting Sunday aud at that
time to give a public address on the
case. He closed his charge with the
following ringing declaration:

living soul. l am not afraid of any
anarchist in this crowd or in this city.
am prepared to do my duty before
Almighty God. They can't bulldoze
me. nor frighten me-
The audience sat breathless while
the court spoke, and made no further
demonstration. The directed verdict
was signed by J. Schloer, foreman of
the jury.
In his closing argument for the de-
fense, Attorney w. e. Purcell of Wah-
peton scathingly criticized both You
mans and his attorney. Mr.. Manahan.
He declared that the latter had made
the most unfair and deliberate mis-
statement of the facts that he had
seen in his forty years Of law practice.
He forcibly pointed out that there
was no proof of any conspiracy and
that the officers did their duty.
The case has been attended by large
crowds and the verdict met with gen.
eral popular approval. The defendants
expressed themselves as being we'll
pleased over the result.

French Estimate Places
the German Losses Before
Verdun at Total of 100000

Paris, April 8.-The German losses
before Verdun up to the present time
have reached the huge total Of 100000
men, one of the greatest battle losses
in the whole range of warfare, accord
ing to estimates made public here yes
terday from a semi official source,
"the result of careful inquiry made in
the highest quarters in which the fig
ures have been vigorously checked and
verified"
Documentary and verbal testimony
gathered and authenticated permit the
giving OF precise details concerning
the losses suffered by the Germans and
by yus on the Verdun 'front.'" says the
semi official communication given to
The Associated Press. During the
period from February 21, when the
battle began. to April /, it is known
that two army corps, namely, the third
and the eighteenth. have been with
drawn from the front, having lost in
the first attacks at least one-third of
their forces. They have reappeared
since and have again suffered like los
Ses.
'The German reinforcements are
practically used up as fast as they are
nut in line. The total effectives of the
eighteenth corps have in this way lost
$1,000 men and the third corps has lost
$4,000 men.

Directed Verdict for
Governor Hanna In the
Youmans Bank Case

Minot, N. D., April s.-A directed
verdict in favor of Governor l.. B.
Hanna and the other defendants was
returned yesterday afternoon by order
of Judge w, J. Kneeshaw in the dam
age suit for $225,oOO instituted b.
Grant Youmans of Minot as the re-
suit of the closing of his bank by the
state banking board nearly three years
ago.
In directing the verdict, Judge Knee
shaw delivered a lengthy charge to
the jury, condemning the methods used
by the attorneys for the plaintiff in
the case. His remarks were in part as
follows:
The defendants were public serv-
ants and acted as such. Mr.. Youmans
got harvest hands without property to
sign the paper in his bank. His acts
were absolutely fraudulent and the
banking board is not liable for dam
ages, nor are the local defendants in
any duress.
During this case have seen some
very disagreeable proceedings by the
audience. Some of them have been
such as I have never before seen in a.
court of justice. 1 do not know who
these people are but they must have

quipa, April St is believed that the American
troops are on a fresh trail of Villa the result of
ports made by army aviator, and his observer who
returned from what may prove one of the most inn
portrait scouting iii ghts of the campaign.
The flight was made over eighty miles of ter
rtory hitherto unexplored, and developed informa-
ton which military authorities here consider valuable
1t was the consummation of plan which General
Pershng and his staff have had under way for several
days.
Reports of the aviatOrs showed that somewhere
south of Satevo, cavalry column is making thrill
ing ride, which may equal in Importance that at
Guerrero of Colonel Dodd's command.
The fiers were at height of 5000 feet when they
discovered the cavalry column to which they were
carrying dispatches filing through a wooded canyon.
They foated slowly down until they were within
perspective of the troops then making sure that they
were American cavalrymen, landed.
One of the airmen caught grazing horse and
rode to the waiting Americans five miles away With
out saddle bride and with only bit of twisted rope
about it's nose to guide the animal.
The troops confirmed the reports that Villa had
been wounded but were able to offer additional de-
tails
The aviators also reported that the Mexicans en-
countered were friendly and that reports current
