That T. F. Campbell, member of the state tax commission. will resign that office on December 28, was the semi official statement of his friends yesterday. That the call for meet ing of the republican state central committee in this city January presages rather formal inauguration of Governor elect Campbell on that day, is inferred.
 At the headquarters of the repub- lican party here yesterday, it was learned that plans are being made tohold the inauguration between 10 o'clock and high noon New Years day. No program has been made out, but in addition to taking the formal oath of office, Mir. Campbell will prob ably make a short address.

NERVY RANCHER SHOT BY THUGS
 DRIVES ID CITY

Exhibiting a remarkable degree of nerve, Otto Glossbrenner young German ranch hand employed on the Hartranft ranch south of the city, drove into the court house yard shortly before 12 o'clock last night, stumbled out of the buggy, staggered up to the sheriffs office. where he collapsed. It was discovered that he had been badly wounded
 He was brought to, and informed the deputies that in an attempted hold-up on South Central avenue just north of Riverside Park. he had re- fused to obey the command of Hands up" struck at his unknown assailants with his whip and was shot in return.
 Considering the size of the bullet hole in Glossbrenners right side just beneath the first rib, it was thought a miracle by the deputies that he had ever survived long enough to make the ride to the court house. His wife who is in a delicate condition, was al- most nervous wreck. She was taken to a nearby rooming house. The young husband exhibited more concern over her than he did over his wound
 According to Glossbrenner's story, he was driving south on Central avenue and as he came near Riverside he saw two men standing near a fence corner They started towards the buggy, car rying flashlight and crying to him to hold up his hands. He stated last night that he thought it was a boys trick and paid no attention to the com mand. As the footpads became in sistent and started to run alongside of the buggy, he realized that there was something serious and endeav- ored to defend himself and wife by l.fr ~I.s .,al- the men, breaking the whip It was after he had cut the hold-up man with the whip that he received the shot.
 It is thought. judging by the size of the hole in Glossbrenner's side. that the gun must have been about .3S cali bre. Probably the only thing that saved his life was the fact that he was higher than the man who did the shoot ing. The bullet struck just below the first rib and travelled in an upward direction. Dr Hawley, who was called to attend Glossbrenner, did not probe for the piece of lead, and it was inn possible to tell where it rested.
 He complained of a numbness in the arm, but outside of that he was suf fering no pain.
 After the wound had been dressed, Glossbrenner, keeping his nerve as he had from the start, put on his clothes. donned his hat and walked out to the waiting machine without murmur. His clothes were covered with blood, the bullet going through four layers of clothing.
 As Glossbrenner could give no de- scription Of the holdup men, it was impossible owing to the darkness last night to take up the trail. Deputies will be on hand. early this morning. though, to attempt to trail the thugs,

 Douglas people clamored for coal today, visiting or telephoning dealer after dealer only to find there was none to be had. The fuel dealers said they were powerless and blamed the railroads.

Advances Peace Movement

WASHINGTON Dec. 26.-Germa- nv's reply to President Wilson's note is regarded here as having advanced the peace movement another step. de- spite the fact that it disappoints in not meeting his suggestion for an avowaf of terms.
 The reception Germany's reply re- oeives among the entente allies. whose statesmen have publicly declared ag3-ust such a program. now be- cnmes the point upon which a fur ther move is hinged The German note probably is the prelude to a ser ies of carefully considered delivate moves in the great game of world di- plomacy, all possibly tending to an ap- prnaca nearer a discussion of peace terms on grounds which all the helli- gerents may feel can place them at no disadvantaee.
 This is the official view of Germa : nv's reply so far as t has been formu- lated on the basis of the unofficial text The official copy has not been received tonight and President Wilson was keeping his mind open.

 The views of the entente embassies. frankly expressed. was that the note was not an answer to President Vii sons communication but rather a doc Ument for circulation in Germany and in neutral countries with tho object of moulding opinion to place the respOn- sibilitv for continuing the war on the entente Among the Germanic diplo- mats. the only view expressed was one of surprise that the reply lad pre- ceded receipt of the entente's response to Germany's original peace proposal on December 12.
