the fact that they had two sturdy sons
to give 20 the defense of their country.
Both of the Derings come of a race
of warriors, with whom patriotism and
loyalty and the rights of their coun.
try to the best they can give have
been for generations matters Of course.
Yesterday John Dering tottered up
to the state house for an interview
with Governor Hanna. The aged faith
er had not changed his mind as to the
claims of his country upon his sons
when the boys services were needed.

emergency which should keep his
sons on the border. and in the humble
Dering home on the east side there
does exist very grave emergency.
Living on So Per Month.
Too feeble to work, with an invalid
wife to care for, John Dering has been
endeavoring to keep soul and body
together on an allowance of 50 per
month for food. The county has been
paying the rent for the Derings, $12
the month. buying their coal and CIV
ing them the small stipend for food.
The county commission has been more
or less cognizant of conditions,
through the poor officer, DR.. F. R.
Smyth, but it has been giving its
maximum allowance to the old couple,

The governor was unable to advise
Immediately as to the possibility of
procuring the release Of the young

done. The chief executive. however.
is of the opinion that the Derings' is
a case which comes under the provi-
sions of the federal relief act which
congress adopted when the troops
were first called to the front, and that
Uncle Sam can be prevailed upon to
appropriate something each month for
the support of the aged couple. or that
the dependency of the parents may be
so clearly established as to procure

Board Increases Allowance.
One direct benefit was gained yes

acted as interpreter in the interview
with the governor, and Schlosser &C
companied Dering to the meeting OF

EVACUATION OF ct. vAUx
BRINGS UP NEW POINT

Paris, Nov. 3.-fmportant conclu-
sions are drawn here from the evac-
,lation of Fort Vaux, northeast Of Ver-
dun, by the Germans. The chief Of
these is the expressed belief that the
Germans. considering the western
front as now of comparatively second
ary importance, intend to reduce their
operations on the Verdun front to q
minimum, and will direct their main
energy with view to successful
campaign against the Roumanians.
The newly established ministry OF
munitions in Germany is regarded by
military observers here as the result
of the Germans having experienced
the superiority Of the Entente Al
lies in artillery and munitions along

Beulan, n. L., NOV. 3.-Carl Maler,
a well.known and popular resident of
this village, lies at the point of death
in the Beulah hospital as the result
of two bullet wounds in his body, re.

handled by an unknown man. who
rode horseback, and disappeared with
his steed Immediately after perform
ing the deed that has aroused the en-
tire populace of the ordinarily quiet
little town and set large posse, led
by the sheriff and his deputies, scour-
ing the woods and surrounding coun.
try.
No Clue to Assaiiant.
The shooting occurred at noon to.
day on the road, approximately mile
and q quarter southwest of town. The
victim has been near deaths door
since the affair and officers Of the law
have been unable to secure a detailed
description of the assailant. Only

tiOn.
Reason for Assault is Mystery.
As far as can be learned there is no
reason for the assault. Mr.. Maier Is
q peaceable citizen and has a large
following of friends in and about Beu'
lah. Whether or not the Beau Brum.
mel had suddenly become insane and
started off with the purpose in view
CT shooting up the first person who
came in sight is matter Of conjec-
ture. This theory has been almost
disregarded by the officers due to the
cunning of the man in covering his
tracks. 1t is thought by some that it
was merely case of mistaken ident.
ity but the real truth of the matter
will probably not be known until eth.
er the gunner is located or physicians
succeed in saving the life of Mr.. Maier
so that he can give a detailed account
of the affair.
Officers in towns and cities in every
section Of the state have been noti.
fled to be on the alert for a man on
horseback but at this, point the de-
sciption falls short
Several clues have been followed
up by the large posse securing the
countryside but all efforts to locate
the assailant have thus far proved
fruitless. A farmer near Beulah stated
that he saw man in the act of swim.
ming his horse across the river near
the town but nothing more could be
learned of the incident.
Suspect Takes to Brush.
Late last night reports from the
posse stated that they were in pursuit
of a man on horseback but he had
taken to the brush. Every inch Of
country will be gone over thoroughly
and the last report would indicate that
the pursuing party may meet with
success.
Maier in Dangerous Condition.
In the meantime a fight with death
is taking place at the Beulah hospital
The condition of Mr.. Maier is such
that it is impossible to probe for the
bullet or attempt to relieve his suffer
ings. Physicians stated tonight that
he has small chance of pulling
through.
