my is retreating precipitately toward
TUlcea, BTaila and HarsOva, pursued
by our forces, said official statement
issued at Sofia. Wednesdays cap
lures included Is officers, I'll men
and Is machine guns.
King Ferdinand dispatched per-
sonal appeals to rulers Of allied ma
lions to save Rumania from disaster
after fall of COnstanza.
Messages were sent following a
stormy session of Rumanian cabinet.
Rumanian military leaders were
harshly criticized by several Of the
ministers, but supported by the king,
who declared Rumanian defeat was
due to fact that Russia had failed to
supply artillery and munitions she
had promised.
German military men expect early
demonstration by allies, probably on
Italian and Macedonian fronts, in re-
spouse to King Ferdinand's appeal
Because allied armies lack sufficient
munitions for great ofnensiVes on
these fronts attacks are expected to
be short-lived and directed largely
for purpose of encouraging disheart-
ened Rumanians.

form for discussion of the problems
of our common life, " "a song centre
for the social spirit, IAN adventure
for real democracy and community
religion" "non-sectarian and non
partisan" and "uncohmitted and Un-
afraid" Past seasons have shown
this boast to be truthful.
A distinctive feature of the meet
ings is the question period following
the lecture, when everybody has the
VI COuL1 ILlC 0CuS6lOu
by asking questions of the speaker.
There is no admission charged. Every
one is welcomed. Fred A. Moore is
director.
Among the noted speakers booked
for the coming season are: Morris

OUTCOME UNCERTAIN ON
YANkTON COLLEGE CAMPAIGN

cannot be made with certainty just at
present rs to the outcome of the Yank-
ton college quarter million endowment
campaign which came to a close Fri
day night. There are one or two mat
ters of conditional gifts which came in
the course of the closing day which
will require action by the executive
committee of the board of trustees in
conference with President Warren upon
his returntfrom the east the middle of
his week. The college authorities are
hopeful that favorable action car be
taken by the committee on these pend
ing matters and that tho result will be
the safe passing of the 100000 goal
whereby the full original gift OF $780,
600 offered by James j. Hill will be Sc
cured.

charge of assault with a dangerous
weapon, and as n result of his prelim-
mary hearing was held under bonds
of 5000 for trial in the state circuit

case is A. j. Stockman, a neighboring
farmer. The difficulty arose over some
of Stockman's cattle. which strayed to
the Setbacken place. Setbacken would
not release The ANIMALS until the
charges for keeping them had been
paid, and this angered Stockman. Set

MAN SUPPOSED TO BE
RUDOLPH EXTRUM MAY
HAVE Been DRUGGEl
officers Think He Was 'Doped'
at Sioux City and Put on
Garretson Train.

Garretson. S. D., Jan. 1.-Mystery
surrounds the identity and place OF
residence of a man VINO is believed to
have left a train in Garretson and then
wandered to the Minnesota side of the
boundary line, and who now is being
held in the Rock county Jail pending
the securing of information as to who
he is and where he came from.
The unknown appears to be about
50 years of age. When found wander
ing on the prairie n taken into GUS
tody by the Rock county authorities
he was believed to be demented. but
his mental condition now is believed
to have been due to his being drugged
by unknown persons. From ~incoherent
statements it is believed his name IS
Rudolph Extrum. :,
His condition was noted after he had
put in an entire afternoon pacing pack
and forth in a highway near the ROCK
county farm of John Kahler. from
his rambling remarks he evidently
been in Sioux City, and falling in with
bad company may have become lntoN-
icated, and while in that condition was
placed aboard a train, which he lei.
in Garretson or Jasper and commences
wandering over the country. Ii nus
mental condition does not improve II
will be necessary to send him TO an
asylum.
