recent visits to Warsaw. Copenhagen
and The Hague that some sort Of a
conference did take place.
At present. however, there Ia little
prospect that Russia will desert the
allies. Roumania's Intervention In
the war has changed tho situation
entirely from the czar's standpoint,
The report that q peace meeting
was held at Kovho was published re-

graphed from Berlin, but regardless
OF this fact, officials In Scandinavian

The Courant asserted that special
representatives of the car and
Premier Sturmer met the kaiser and
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg at
kovno In August. Exactly what
caused the negotiations to be broken
on was not learned. One report was
that Russia learned that Roumania
was about to enter the war. Another
report was that Emperor Francis
Joseph has refused to cede Galicia
and Bukovina to Russia, the price
demanded by the czar for q separate
peace.
Russia was said TO be willing to
make n separate peace because she
was afraid of Japanese aggression In
China, because General Brusiloifs
offensive had failed to capture Lem
berg and Kovel, and because the al
lies had not glven her successful CO.
operation ON other fronts.
Germany according to n neutral In
The Hague, was willing to see that
Turkey made some concessions to
Russia regarding tho Dardanelles.
Poland was to be made a Kingdom,
with u slice of Galicia added, under
Prince Leopold OF Bavaria.

OFFICERS PROBE
CATTLE KILLING IN
MURPHY DISTRICT

Officers have lately been investi-
eating reports of the killing OF cattle
In the Murphy district II Is reported
that seven or eight head Of cattle
have been found in the forests along
Murphy creek shot TO death, and in
varying stages Of decomposition, evil
dence that they had been killed at
different times. At least two head Of
cattle has found their way to their
home places mortally wounded, whine
some Of those killed and left in the
woods have had their ears cut OIL 80
that their ownership could not be
traced by the ear marks. Among
those whose cattle have been iden-
titled among the killed are J. e. Swim
den. Of the Applegate valley above
Murphy. and Fred Lichens, of Pro-
volt.
Some Of those who have investi-
gated state that there is evidence
that the dead cattle have been haul
ed out into the woods after being
killed. and the theory is advanced
that the animals may have been shot
when trespassing upon lands and
then disposed Of by being hauled out
into the brush. County Attorney
Miller has made an investigation. but
states that he has not yet obtained
evidence to connect anyone with the
killing Of the two animals whose car
casses he had inspected. A

The heavy decrease in this years

ditions in Argentine and the demand
of the allies for available Australian

now selling at from four to seven
dollars bushel.
The importation Of Canadian wheat
for seed purposes is being discussed.

Roumanian transports that tried to
facilitate the retreat. adding to the
confusion In the ranks OF the enemy.

trakan the Roumanian garrison was
surrounded on the south bank and
captured. Several hundred Rou-
manians, including a general and a
