TURKS FO|LEO BY
RUSSIAN VICTORY
Grand Duke Nicholas Has Frus.
trated Great Drive to Re-
take Erzerum Despite
Big Odds.

Petrograd, Aug. IS. [via London).-
The Turks attempt to encircle the left
flank of the Russian Caucasian army
appears to have received & crushing
GLOW from the troops OF Grand Duke
Nicholas in tie region of Lake Van.
The Turks encireliug scheme, aimed at
regaining ErZeruln and thus multiplying
all the grand dukes victories in Turk
ish Armenia, appeared about to sue
ceed, but the Russian occupation OF
Mush and reestahlishment OF Russian
positions west of Lake Van apparent
~ has made hopeless the Turks efforts
The initiative now appears again to
be with the Russians 1t all important
points in Asia Minor, and now. that the
Turkish offensive on the left flank has
been stopped, Grand Duke Nicholas can
continue his march toward Asia Minor.
The task OF turning the Russians
left flank in southern Armenia and
western Persia was entrusted to the
| Mush group OF the Turkish forces,
which, reinforced by troops from every
part Of European and Asiauc Turkey
until they far outnumbered the Russian
army opposing them, began the north

! zeruEa. Although constantly halted by
the Russian fire and forced to send in

KILLING MEN, beg all fighters,

to stop killing men. Those Of us who
escape killing will be treated worse

enough men are killed the few left

MAN IS CRUSHED
UNDER FENCE RAILS
Frank James Has Back Hurt
But Now Is Reported
Recovering.

Frank James Of Jackson, who was
believed to have been fatally injured
last Saturday when crushed beneath
a large pile of fence rails, yesterday
was reported to be recovering.
James was sitting in soch a manner
at the time the fence rails fell upon
him, that his head was forcen down
between his knees. When extricated
by fellow workmen it was thought he
had been killed.
The accident occurred on the farm
of Dean Ware, where James had been
aiding in saving fence rails. He
paused at his work and sat down be-
side high stack of rails. In some
manner the rails became dislodged and
rolled down upon him.
He was covered and pinned to the
ground, and the weight of the logs
on his back and neck forced his head
between his knees. He suffered severe
bruises about the body and a badly
sprained back.

NO new TRIAL IN
$4,000 LAND DEAL
Charlottesville Men Appeal To
st. Louis Court From Com.
mon Pleas.

A new trial of a $1,000 damage suit
growing out of losses sustained by
j. J. Williams and his partner, Judge
Brewer, of Charlottesville, in a land
deal there, yesterday was denied by
Judge John A. Snider in the Common
Pleas Court. Following the Judges
decision, attorneys for Mr.. Williams
took an appeal Of the case to the st.
Louis Court of Appeals.
The suit was tried last fall before
the late Judge Ranney, and a jury
rendered judgment for the defendant,
L. B. Powell. Since Judge Ranney's
death and Judge Snider'S ascension to
the bench, attorneys for both sides
argued a motion for new trial. The
Judge, however, upheld the trial of the
case as conducted by Judge Ranney
and denied the new trial.
Several other minor cases were dis
posed of yesterday, and Judge Snider
last night said that he expects to con-
clude the May term of court this week.
This term has been one of the heaviest
sessions of the Common Pleas Court
in its recent history, according to at
taches Of the court.
