cult court Friday afternoon charging
Ebert Shultz, farm hand on the
farm Of Walter zimmerman with cru
city to animals. The affidavit charg-
es Shultz with maliciously pulling the

then twisted it off entirely. Shultz
claims that he grabbed the mule by
the tongue and that the mule bit the
tip of the tongue. Shultz is now in
the county Jail.

Bring your own bottles.

Bring your own bottles.
The foregoing slogan is soon to be
urged on Richmond people by the
druggists of the community in view of

Some In Rhyme.
Many of these trench wills have

to the steady progress by the British
on both sides of the Ancre. are evil
dence that the coldest weather of the
war on this front has not stopped the
constant worrying pressure, which
the British seek to exert upon the

Old soldiers say that there is moth

operations for keeping the troops in

pressing and injurious to morale as
the constant defensive which the
Germans have endured all winter.
Unlike the Wrench.
In this respect the British are very
unlike the French in their methods
of winter warfare. Gen. Haig's pol
icy has been one of unceasing bonn
bardment, punctuated by daily raids
and minor attacks, tactics which have
brought in a constant stream of pris-
oners and inflicted a heavy toll of
casualties. The French prefer lying
quiet in their trenches for long ne.
riods and then attacking suddenly on
wide front in a sharp. fierce COM

appreciation OF the dramatic as the

efficacy of the steady grinding dowr;
