Case Of Discharged
Postmaster Will
Come Up Next Week

North Platte, Neb., July l4.-(Spe-
cial)-The final round Of the fight
Of John G. Porter to retain his posi-
ton as postmaster OF Bridgeport will
be settled in the North Platte divis-
ion OF the United States district court.
The case has been brought into fed
eral court for the final settlement Of
the point Of law involved and Will be
tried before Federal Judge Wood
rough of Omaha next week.
Judge r. w. Hobart OF the Morrill,
county district court granted . re-
straining order to prevent Postal In
spector w. M. Coble Of Omaha from
turning the postal property over to
another party. Porter, who was or
dered to retire from office by the
postmaster generals office, when he
wrote sarcastic letter relative to an
additional appropriation for the
Bridgeport office, contends that he
was placed in office by the president
and the United States senate and that
it does not lie within the province oil
the postmaster general to depose him
According to Coble's Interpretation
Of the law, the postmaster general ha.
this authority. 1t is to settle this
point OF law that the case will b.
tried before Judge Woodrough.

line over a front of 5000 yards. The
dispatch adds:
--latest reports state that we cap
tured the villages of Longueval, Ba-
northumberland and cleared the en-
envy out of Trone's wood. The
weather is cloudy and cool and favor
able to our operations"
The British advance reported in to-
days official dispatch apparently con-
stitutes the second phase of the great
Anglo-French offensive in the neigh
borhood of the Somme river, which
began July over a front OF some
thing more than twenty miles. The
first phase of this offensive carried
the British forward to and gave them
possession of CONTAMINATION and
Montauban, but the French on their
right moved their lines further for
ward.
The reported capture of Longueval
and Bezantin-Le-G Grand indicates that
the British in today's assault ad-
vanced east or northward from Com
talmaison or Montauban and that
they apparently have brought their
right wing on a par with the French
left and are thrusting a salient be-
tween Peronne, the immediate
French objective, and Bapaume, the
point at which the British moveHent
is reported to be directed.
Longueval is about three and one
half miles east Of Contamination and
Bezantin- Le-Grand is midway be-
tween these towns.

Brakeman is Badly
Injured at Red Oak

Red Oak, Ia, July 14-(Special)
J. c. Russell Of Creston, brakeman
on freight train No. 10, was severely
injured at the passenger station here
yesterday at o'clock in the after
noon when he was struck by truck
which was standing on the station
platform as he was about to jump
from the rear end of the train. He
was struck on the right hip by the
truck. 1t knocked him from the car
TO the middle of the track. Had he
been riding anywhere except on the
last car he would undoubtedly have
been killed, His hip was badly bruised
and he was considerably bruised over
his entire body, but no bones were
broken. He was taken to the Red
Oak hospital, where his wounds were
dressed, and he was able to return
home yesterday evening.

BODY OF BOY VICTIM
OF SHARK IS FOUND
Corpse of Lester Stillwell, Bit
ten Nearly in Two, Discov.
cred in Matawan Greek.
COAST GUARD JOINS HUNT

New York, July l4--At almost low
tide today the body of Lester Still
we'll was found in Matawan creek
about 200 feet from the spot where
he disappeared after being attacked
by a shark. The body had been Bit
ten nearly in to above the waist line.
Shark hunters at Matawan creek
believe they have this shark penned
up in the creek behind series of wire
nets which have been strung across
the creek at intervals from its mouth
to the scene OF the tragedy, sixteen
miles from the entrance. Men, armed
with shotguns, rifles and harpoons,
patrolled the waters of the creek
again today. Some OF them said they
had seen five OF the big fish near the
point where w. Stanley Fisher and
Lester Stillwell were killed. They
made preparations for shark drive
at noon today, when the ebb tide
will leave only few feet of water in
the creek. Dynamite will be exploded
again in an effort to stun the sharks
and bring them to the surface.
Joseph Dunn, the l0-year-old boy
whose leg was terribly torn by the
invader of Matawan creek, is in hos
pital in New Brunswick, N. ]. Little
hope 10 entertained for his recovery.
Coast Guard Joins Hunt.
Washington, July l4.-Tragic stor-
les OF attack by sharks upon bathers
along the New Jersey coast were dis
cussed at today's meeting Of the cab
met. Later Secretary McAdoo an
nounced that the coast guard would
be ordered to do what 1t could to-
ward clearing the coast Of the dam
gerous fish and preventing further
loss of life.
Instructions were sent by the
Treasury department both to the
coast guard cutters and life-saving
stations to aid in killing sharks and
when possible warn resorts OF their
proximity.
Secretary Redheld told the cabinet
that the bureau OF fisheries had been
unable to offer any scientific explana-
ton OF the unprecedented attacks
upon human beings.
A formal statement made public
by Acting Commissioner Moore Of
the fisheries bureau said the bureau
experts reluctantly had been COM
PEELED to come to the conclusion that
no certain effective preventive meas
ures could be recommended, but ad-
vised a shark-catching campaign and
warned bathers to stay in shallow
. water. Attention was called to the
small number OF attacks compared
with the vast army OF bathers, with
the suggestion that there appeared to
be no reason for panic among the
people at seaside resorts.

French Prepare to Advance.
There was no news this morning of
important developments on the re-
nlainder of the western front, but at
last accounts the French were pre-
pairing to resume their offensive south
of the Somme, while the Germans
were still hammering at the defenses
Of Verdun. The opinion Is held in
France, however, that continuation OF
the Somme battle will compel the
Germans to slacken their efforts at
Verdun, which now have been in pro-
gress nearly five months, especially
as the French estimate the Germans
lost 1900 men in counter attacks on
Contamination.
Struggle Along Stokhod.
The Russians have made no notice

er the crossings made by the Rus
SLAMS have given them firm footing

being pressed back towards Baiburt
and Erzignan, while in Persia the
Russians have brought up reinforce

The Mount Holly news., 1916-12-26


Plato tells the story of the great
island of Atlantis and puts its exis-
tence 5000 years before his time. His
location of it is about half way be-
tween the western projection of Africa
and the Gulf Of Mexico. Its civiliza
tion was supposed to be very advanced
and its powerful armies We're said TO
have penetrated Africa as far as
Egypt. The whole island, according
to this legend, was engulfed by the sea
In day and night. Another story
says that a great earthquake destroyed
the island. The legend was ascribed
to Egyptian priests, and on some old
italian maps Atlantis is placed to the
westward of the Azores. Among some
tribes of South and Central America
there is the legend of vast cataclysm
which engulfed great extent of-land.
Eminent scientists have found moth
ing impossible in the existence at some
time of a great Atlantic island, but the
story of Atlantis is generally regarded
us a myth.

King Henry VIII for an extra duty
on wool 10 be laid to them ''to recon-
pense their past services to the crown,
and to enable theE the better to con-
tinue them" There is something that
sounds very modern in the argument.
Complaints by Eli. 4ishmen may be
met by pointing out hat they still pay
less than foreigners, and that the
price of c!ota viii not be sensibly
altered Tie Calvacanti, however,
seem to have had their doubts wheth-

tale, for they go on 10 say that ''In or

that they bSaeve they have in the

made not TO them, but to others who
will transfer it to them" The Calva-
