ton, revised assessment rolls on two
paving projects, granting rebate to
property-owners totaling $1,050.

on the Eighteenth street job, amount
ing to $3.50.

overruling the demurrer filed by the
defense to the amended declaration in
the $4,000 suit Of Harry Frankel VS..
William Carstens ct al, as to the
first and third courts. but sustaining
the demurrer as to hte second and
fourth courts.
Demurrer filed by the defense to
FrankePs original declaration was
sustained by the city court some time
ago. F'rankel then filed an amended
declaration and the defense entered
another demurrer. 1t was this that
was passed upon by Judge Dietz this
morning.
The first count in the demurrer,
which was one of the two counts over
ruled, had to do with the allegation of
false arrest. The other count was
based largely upon a circular which
was issued bearing the signature of
Mrs. G. E. Kneberg Ruling of the
court today makes it possible for
Frankel 10 bring his suit to trial on
these two counts.
By giving a ruling today on the

Russ Gain South
OF Dniester River
On Extensive Scale

Petrograd, June 30.-(Via London.)
The war office announced today
the capture of the town of Obertine,
south of the Dniester river, and viii
lagos north and south of that point.
! The statement follows:
! In the region south of the Dniester
we are pursuing the enemy. The
Austrians, panic stricken in their
flight, are leaving behind large
number of conveys. Military material
and more prisoners have been brought
in.
According to kilograms received
here, the town of Obertine was taken
after fight, as we'll as villages in
the neighborhood, north and south.
Northwest of the confluence of the
Lipa and Styr rivers, our detachments
approached unperceived the settle
ment of Covbane and took possession.
b, After having put the garrison of Cow
sne to the bayonet we took posses
siUn of the village, to which the en-
emy had fled in panic. Some prison.
ers were taken. Obertine, the cap
ture of which is reported n todav's
official Russian communication, is
/ fourteen miles north of Kolomea. The
$occupation of this town by the Rus
4 ssians represents a further gain in the
new drive over twenty-five-mile
front, which, according to yesterdays
Russian and Austrian communication,
forced the Austrians to retire on a
part of the front.

Russians have captured Kolomea,

0rpet's Attorney
Scores Once More

Waukegan, ILL.,, June 3O.-Testi-
mory that the spot in Helms woods,
where Marion Lambert died of pois-
on, was in full view of an interurban
railway station and therefore never
would have been selected for a de-
liberately planned murder, was given
today by Gale NJ. Brooks, civil
engineer in the trial of Will H. Or
pet, charged with the murder of Miss
Lambert. Brooks explained at length
a map he had made of the woods.
While the engineer was testifying
Orpet looked over letters, which
reach him every day from all parts
of the country, from Halifax, Spo-
kane and Tampa. Most of them are
from strangers and generally express
sympathy.
Brooks described in detail the vicin-
ity of the spot where Marion died,
giving distances from it to the ada
cent roads and streets. He was fol-
lowed on the stand by James Ander-
son, jr., who had assisted him in
making tests as to whether persons
walking in the woods could be seen
from the interurban station. Ander-
son confirmed Brooks statements.
