REPORT HAS TURKS
FLEEING TREB|z0ND
ConstantinopIe Insists Loss Of
Erzerum Is Without Mill
tary Importance.

LONDON, February 23.-According to
special dispatches from Petrograd, the
Turks are said to be evacuating Trebi
zond the Russian advance along the
Black sea having reached to within a
single days march OF the port Of
Rich.
A considerable force of Turks from
Erzerum is fastening toward Rich,
in the hope of finding the coast road
open to Trebizond. The Russians are
moving rapidly to cut off this force.
Only One Road Open.
The only route now left open to the
Turks retreating westward is to khar-
put, the dispatches say. from where
they might strike southeastward and
join the Turkish Bagdad forces by way
of Diarbekir.
A German train carrying guns and
munitions to the Novo Alexandrovisk
positions is reported to have been
wrecked and blown up few days ago.
One hundred soldiers are declared to
have been killed or injured.
Turks Announce Retirement.
BERLIN. February %. by wireless to
Sayville, n. "a Turkish retirement
to positions west of Erzerum is an
nounced by the Constantinople war Of
flee in today's official statement re-
ceived here. The retirement took place.
says the report. after the Turks had
destroyed positions which they had oc
cupied fifteen kilometers east of Err
zerum. and also destroyed fifty old cam
non which could not be transported.
The statement adds:
Fantastic Russian reports stating
that 1000 cannon and 10000 prisoners
had been taken at ErZerum are untrue.
No combats took place in the vicinity
of Erzerum besides those in the posi-
lions mentioned. The forts of Err
zerum had no military value nor had
the town itself"

Tower and Tank Rushed

At a meeting of the Board of
Trustees Tuesday evening j. c.
Kaufman agreed to have the
tower and the tank at the new
well completed ready for use by
September 20. For every day
after this date until the job is
completed a verbal contract was
made that the contractor pay s.
per day. The tank is here on
the ground and all material, and
il should not take but a short
time to have everything com.
pleted ready for use.
The Village has received pipe
to lay a main from the well to
connect with the old system, and
seine of the business men on
lower Taft Street have agreed to
lay a main from the well to their
places of business, the city to
buy said main from them at
exact cost when there is sufh.
cient funds in the treasury.
The water will be pumped by
electricity, and as the well as
equipped will furnish about POO
gallons per minute there can b.
no shortage of water until the
town grows much larger than it
is at present, and the rates pos.
sibly can be lowered and still
the system be on a self sustain
