The assault of the Rescue Club" upon the occupantsOf the court house was very nearly successful and in spots if may have been entirely so. It came much more nearly being so than the most imaginative had ex- pected. It appears from the incom- plete returns that George A. MacDon- ald has been defeated by w. H. Wilkey for sheriff. It looks dark for C. M GTandy for county attor- neY who has been in a close if not an overriding race by l.. M. Laney. Davis has almost certainly been nominated for the state senate. The other nominations for the senate lies between Revillc and Staplcy. IL is impossible at the hour of going to press to figure the standing of the candidates for the house of represen- tatives or any of the other county offices though Webb appears to have heen norlinated for county treasurer. The personnel of the entire demo cratic county and legislative tickets -wil not be known until some time this forenoon. But Vernon Vaughn of course has been nominated for recorder. Frank H. Lyman has q lead though g narrow one, over A. $. Hawkins for superior judge.
 There was never such q slow count of 9 primary ballot. It dragged along at inc rate of tWenty-four to the hour Less than a dozen of the pre- cinctg are complete and some of them wiil likely not be finished until this afternoon. When the ticket is com plete ard made known the members of it will nervously reflect that they have beer nominated by a small minority of the democratic vote in this county and that considerable part of the majority vote is hostile. The women voters will have had very little to do with the making up Of the ticket so that they are yet to be reckoned with.

French Start offensive

PARIS. Sept. l2-The French in fantry started a vigorous offensive to- day along front of six kilometers north of the Somme. from the Com bles region Co the river. and in half an hour took an entire first line of Ger man trenches says the official com munication issued tonight. Another portion of French forces carried a system of trenches along the road from Bethune Co Peronne. Prisoners to the number of 800 had been taken when the report was filed.
 Elsewhere on the front there was only artillery activity.

OFFENSIVE |S
 RESUMED NORTH IF THE SOMNE

Resumng their offensive north of the Somme in France, French forces again have smashed the German lines, captured other trenches and taken about 1900 prisoners.
 The new attacks were made on the front from Combles to the river. So vicious was the thrust of the French that 1t required only half an hour for them to overcome the resistence of the Germans and make themselves mas ters of three and three quarter miles of first line trenches.
 East and southeast of Combles they seized additional trenches along the
 Bethune- Peronne road, which leads from Peronne northward through
 Rapaume and Arras to 6ethune, plac-
 ing an impeachment in the way of the
 Germans for the movement of their transport from the north to Peronne. On the British end of the front only
 mutual bombardments took place. All along the Macedonian front the heavy offensive of the entente continues. Bul-
 garian trenches on front Of two miles and to depth of 300 yards are reported by Paris to have been captured by the French west of the Vardar river near Maiadgh, which lies about four miles
 south of Gievgeldi. On the Struma ! front the British, aided by the French, have made additional gains east of the
 river in the Lake Takinos region. The
 army of the Teutone allies is declared
 to have suffered heavy casualties in
 the latter engagement.
 Unofficial reports arc that the 8ul- ! g5risns have evacuated the forts al l kaVsla on the Aegeanza, which they i captured in August. While the pres encs of erteHte warships off the town | is even as the reason for the with J drsvai. it IS not improbable that the ] menace ot the new drive of the British and French along the Strums front
 may have been partly responsible ! for it.

Hartford, June 13-''We have here the two historical mules that brought the powder from Dixie to blow up the Pennsylvania railroad bridge! How much do you offer, gentlemen, how much do you offer?''
 It was an auctioneer in the employ of the United States government speaking. He was surrounded by group of business men. Among them stood F. F. Street, then of Harris burg, Penn., now of No. 361 Laurel street, Hartford. And it was in the summer of '63. The sale of the mules to the highest bidder was advertised by the government in the Harrisburg newspapers and the little knot of men was there to buy if they could buy cheap.
 Somebody offered to give $8O for both mules. MT. Street, however, who was in the building trade and needed at that time a couple of good pul1ers, offered to give $50 apiece for them. After an unsuccessful at tempt to get a, little more (the gov ernment needed the money badly then) the auctioneer announced:
 ''so1d to this gentleman for the sum of $100. Your name, p1ease?''
 MT. Street was particularly pleas ed with one of the mules, a fine look ing animal with intelligent eyes, strong and long 1imbed. A man in the group who was outbargained on the deal facetiously nicknamed the mule "Jeff Davis" The mule seemed to like the name. So MT. Street made him a present of it.
 Bits of unwritten history in con nection with the Civil War have been recalled and related by many who in the dark days of the sos were inti- mate1y concerned with incidents of more or less importance, but hundreds of interesting happenings of that per iod will remain buried. Once in a while someone who, during the days when Grant and Lee, leading more than three millions of men, battled for supremacy, when knots of men and women>gathered in front of newspaper offices awaiting the latest news from the front, when women wore hoop skirts and gentlemen tall hats, will awaken new interest by treating a, select few with a verbal account of something he himself witnessed in the stormy days. But to return to the subject of this narrative.
 How did the mules come into pos session of the government auc- tioneer?

A new stone four-track bridge-''the finest and longest in the world''-nOw stretches across the wide expanse of water. The southerners knew that supplies were continually coming over the two-track bridge to the des- pissed and hated northerners.

U. S. Marine Corps Establishes Mobile
 Recruiting Office

Washington, ID. C., June 13-To reach virgin recruiting fields off rail road lines, the United States Marine Corps has put in operation three com bination freight and passenger auto mobiles fitted up as virtual rolling re- cruiting offices to strike into interior sections where the soldiers of the sea- are but little known and the op- portun1ties their service offers to en- listed men, less understood.
 These recruiting offices on wheels will first operate from San Francis co, Atlanta, and Boston, but if the ex- periments made are successful, the idea, may be extended to other sec tions of the country.
 The ranks of the Marine Corps have been kept to overf1owing for more than three years, but as Congress is expected to increase the strength by three thousand men, the automobile innovation has been worked out in line with the Corps brilliant reputa- ton for preparedness in all things.

GROWS GOOD TO EAT DR. SCHNEE
 TELLS GERMANS
Young Ones Dainty Titbit and Tougher Birds Sup
 ply Valuable Fat.

Frankfort, Germany, June 13- From experiences in the field in Rus sia, Dr. Adolf Schnee is convinced, and has suggested to the German govern ment, that young crows are a tasty and valuable source of food, and that the old, tough birds that follow the armies by the tens of thousands are a plentiful source of fat that can be used in making soap if not in prepar- ing food for human beings.
 Dr. Schnee suggests therefore that crow hunting be begun systematically after the government has been con- Vlnced of the correctness of his views, and after experts have determined just how crow fat can be purified, and to just what purposes it can be put after being adulterated or added to other and scarcer fats.
 During the months of May, June and July, Dr. Schnee says, the young ''seed crows'' are practically plentiful and tender. In the three months fol- lowing the same birds, or still older ones, abound more than at any other time in fat.
 Under the skin of each bird, he has found, there are layers of fat of a particularly desirable character which is much used by the Russian peasants. In addition the organs of the birds are surrounded by fat which differs merely in color and smell from the fat of other animals that is reg u1arly used.
 From a full grown crow there can be obtained, he says, from 80 to 15O grams of fat, an average perhaps of 100 kilograms from every 100 birds. Put through the ordinary processes, this yields some seven or eight ki1o- grams of lard which is much in use in Russian peasant circles.
 Even the meat of the old crow is edible, says Dr. Schnee, if it is put through a pickling process of some four to six weeks with onions, and then served with kind of cabbage. In taste it is similar to pick1ed wild boar. Dr. Schnee suggests the crea- ton of hunting parties chosen by the government to patrol behind the lines in the east, sending back to experts the crows they shoot to be ''de-fatted, and pickled.a

HARTFORD MAN RECALLS TALE OF
 TEAM OF REBEL MULES THAT DREW POWDER TO BLOW UP VITAL BRIDGE
Structure That Was Regarded As Chief Artery for Un
 ion Armys Supplies Was Target for Destruction Mules Employed Finally Bought by Pennsylvanian Who Removed Later to Hartford.

tion, guns, men, horses, mules and cattle were transported over this route. The bridge was regarded as one of the most important feeders of the Union armies, the tapper of the west, and was considered almost in dispensable. So, according to the story, the Confederates decided to blow up the bridge. But Governor Curtin of Pennsylvania anticipated such a move and made provision for it's defeat. At the extreme west end of the bridge the governor establish ed a bIockhouse and stationed a suf- ficient number of sharpshooters there to protect the bridge against attack. The remainder of the story is founded on presumption, but the facts in the case are linked so clearly together that MT Street feels that there is hardly a doubt that the expected at tempt to blow up the bridge was plan ned and might have been carried to a successful conclusion had not the bridge been closely guarded. If the work of destruction had been accom- plished by the Confederates the posi- ton of the Union army would have been serious on account of the tre- mendous quantities of supplies that passed over the bridge.
 Travelling by night, two Confeder- ate soldiers, each leading a mule, made their way over the valley south east of Carlisle, Penn. Reaching the latter they climbed the north spur of the Allegheny mountains and contin- ued down almost to their destina ton. It was then that they learned of the precautions taken by the governor of Pennsylvania. It is assumed that the men abandoned the mules and let them roam about the mountain side.
 At daybreak the following morn ing a farmer found the mules. Strap ped to the back of each was a box of powder. Both animals were branded "C. s. for Confederates states. The farmer appropriated the mules and used them on his farm. A few days later the son of the farmer returned home wounded. The son in quired about the two strange mules and was shown the brand marks. The father also displayed the boxes con tainfng the powder. The son told his father that he would be held liable for harboring the mules unless he could explain to the satisfaction of the Union authorities how he came by them. The father decided to mo- tify the government and the next day the mules and powder boxes were turned over to the authorities. Infor nation to this effect came to MT. Street first hand
 What finally became of the mules?
 MT. Street kept them for the re- rnainder of the summer. He then sold them to B. B. Bishop Sons of Jersey City, who are still doing bus mess there They reso1d the animals, they were sent to the West Indies, and plantation work became the lot of the two historical mules-

 That Broke Wires

Paris, June 13-British soldiers on leave who had their ''empire day. on the bou1evards on May 24 attracted general attention, not so much on ac- count of the roses they wore as the curious articles they pulled from their pockets; tobacco pouches, purses, poe ketbooks of a mott1ed leather that looked like leopard skin att the first glance but turned out to be giraffe skin. These soldiers, just back from East Africa, had been obliged to hunt these animals because they rubbed their long necks against field wires and cut communications Lord Kitch- ener was presented with dressing gown lined with giraffe skin a me- mento of the East African campaign of 1914-15-16.

INDIANA PLANS
 NEW PARK SYSTEM

Indianapolis, Ind, June 13-As an outgrowth of the celebration being held throughout the state, in honor of undiana's entrance into the Union in 1916, a. spontaneous movement for the conservation of many of the beauty spots of the state by a system of parks is sweeping the Hoosier state.
 A voluntary state park committee, entirely unofficial in it's actions ex- cept for the endorsement of Governor Samuel RaIston, is seeking subscrip tions preparatory to inducing the 1917 legislature to enact a state park law.
 With about $25, 900 pledged, the com mittee first attempted to buy Turkey Run, a rugged spot in western In- diana, which is widely known for its big trees, high bluffs and shady dells The attempt of the committee was de- feated by IumbeSmen, who outbid the committee to secure some valuable walnut trees.
 The second attempt resulted suc- cessfulIy, the committee purchasing a large tract of land in Owen county containing the Mccormick creek canon for $5,250. Already residents of that country are beginning to build roads to attract automobile tourists.
 As the result of the purchases of one of the large sand dunes along Lake Michigan, by Chicago men, peo- pie of northern Indiana, with the sup port of many Chicago persons, are de- manding that the remaining dunes be kept and incorporated in the proposed state park system. The sand dune re- zion has been a. favorfte haunt of sci entists for years, seeking rare speci- mems of faunal life.
 In connection with the movement for state parks the committee has in augurated a, "See Indiana First cam paign, declaring that because of lack of state supervision and lack of pub licfty, the scenic beauties of the state have been unappreciated.
