STEALING A HORSE.
A 6razen Afghan Robber Who Had a
Sense Of Huror.


An East Indian officer. writing of
life IN Pcshawnr in the carly seven
tics OF the last century, relates the
following:
The medical officer of my regi-
r2ont was informed one night that
q valuable and favorite Arab stecl
Of his had been stolen. Over tho
border, gone forever. he never cx-
rectcd to see his horse again. but

even to the night Waterman asleep
in a corner. Noiselesslv the Afghan
eravled toward the Arab, treadinc
snakelike through the PROSTATE
forms to where it was standing at
the end Of the row. Softly kissing
to attract the animals attention
without causing alarm, he gently
raised himself with arm extended.
In his open palm were some
humps Of goor (native sugar., below

vas enjoying these the man was
caressing him with the other hand.
whence suspended a watering bride
taken from his wallet. Quickly this
was adjusted, and then, strokin2

hand over the animals back and
down the hind quarters. Swiftly
the heel ropes were unhitchcd. then
the head gear released. ard with a
bound he was astrido and away. his
right hand backward flung, shout
ing triumphantly as he passed.
Thus was it DONE"
The Joke was that he never came

MANY GERMANS KILLED

LONDON, March 31.-Twenty thousand Germans have been killed and wounded in the past weeks fighting around VeIdun, according to the estimates made by French military experts. The Teutons have launched
 new and vast assault on both sides of the Mouse from the bases secured by them in the first assaults and the present effort seems to be put forth with all the and preparation that would suggest the intention to make 1t final In the DouaumOnt and VauX sections to the east of the fortress and at the Avocourt and BehncOu sections to the northwest the assaults centeed the intention clearly being to take the forts to the north of Verd on the flank The positions in the Avoco woods make their defense comparatively easy and the slaughter there has been awful when either side leaves to take up the offensive The massed batteries of the French Hill 3Ol wiped out whole battaons of the Germans yesterday they rolled forward against the allied positions French officers who watched the German rush at Maancourt through glasses say they could easily great gaps being moved in the German ranks they mOyedUp with an un belevabe reckessness against the well manned forttca tions British military observers incline to the belief now that Germany has decided to take Verdn or bury all its hopes to smash the western allied line in the effort By the fortress of Verdun is really meant scores of forses surrounding the city and main fortress itself Each of these forss is strong and built with all the genius that French military engineers possess To take each means an assault in the open against sfuy manned works so the carnage can be better understood than described.

X REAL WOMAN LAWYER
 WHO IS NOT A FEMINIST

Special to Gateway by United Press)
 CHICAGO, March 28.-NIrs. Flor ence w.. Stephens, 29-year old Chicago feminine lawyer, who drove to Chicago from Montana, 1900 miles, in her automobile, passed the Illinois state bar examination and now is ready for practice
 Mrs. Stephens isn't going into the profession because the other women members of her family have been lawyers, but because of the necessity of earning living for herself and daughter Marie.
 "The fact that other women mem bers of my family have been lawyers hasn't much to do with my entering the profession" Mrs. Stephens said today. "The law is no feminist fad with men. My daughter is eleven years old, healthy, rough on clothes and has a future to be looked after.
 "Mrs. Stephens even admits that the law is dry, but that can't be a hindrance to a woman who has to work, she says. Mrs. Stephens is a native of CirceI, Montana. She studied law in Montana until a year ago. She was graduated from the Hamilton college of law with honors.
 Mrs. Stephens mother, the late Mrs. Letta NJ. Hawley of Brookings, Mont, practiced law for many years there. Her mothers mother also was an attorney.

Drill Arrives To

Professor Herschell Parker and As sOciates Will Use It in the
 Cache Creek Dist

The drill for the prospecting of placer ground ir this section of Al aska by Professor HcrschcI Parker and his associates arrived yesterday on the Alaska and is now being got ready st the Boe shops for shipment out to the Cache creek country where it will be tried first on new ground. This drill is brought in just for ex- pertinent and better type will be built with it as a model. It is 45O pounds weight or about that much and the new drill will be not more than two hundred or two hundred and fifty pounds. The remarkable thing about this drill is that it works by suction with hand power only. There is no casing and TO driving, the sand being sucked up and the drill working down gradually. It has been proven perfect for well drilling and it is ex- pected to be most adaptable for placer prospecting. After this drill gets a good testing the new one will be con structed.
