INHALES CHEOROFORM.
Nurse Found Dead in Bed With Emp
ty ChlorOform Vial Beside Her
Death Thought Accidental

Lyndonville, JAN 14.-Ircne Nc
Dowell, a nurse was found dead in
bed, about $50 this morning, in her
room in the former Pleasant View
House, by maid from a nearby rest
aurant, who was taking breakfast to
her. Death was due to chloroform
poisoning. At first it was thought to
be case of suicide, but later invcS-
tigation showed that Miss Mcdowell
had been in the habit of using the
drug as 4 sleep producer when going
to bed at night.
1t was said that the dead woman
had been in poor health for the past
days. The girl who first fOund the
body, had been carrying meals to her
during the time and had also been
caring for the room. She Was among
those who knew that Miss Mcdowell
had been accustomed to inhale tcf1or-
afor1n fumes to induce sleep. The
theory is that the nurse having be-
come unconscious, dropped the vial,
the contents of which spilled on the
pillow.
The nearest surviving relatives
known, are three sisters: Mrs. Her
bert Thorp Of Charlotte, VT; NJ. E.
Smith, Rutland, Mass, and u sister
living in California.

The annual report rendered by the

1t is of interest to note that the

largely been paid out in this imme-

ARREST IS MADE
ON FORGING AND
PASSING CHARGE

Frank Tullo was arrested by Sheriff
w. ii. Worthen at Barnet Monday af-
tcfnoOn, charged with being one of two
men implicated in the forging and
passing of checks at the store of Amos
w. Scott & Co., Saturday night. The
checks were drawn on the account
of II. J. Brock of Barnet, of whom
the men, it is understood, had taken
logging job.
The other man who is wanted is
said to be one, Sammy ~Nelente, who
is thought to have left for some poins
in New York State.
The facts as known seem to be that
late in the evening, Saturday, the
men went to tne Scott store and pur-
chased goods and paid for them. They
then asked the one who waited upon
them TO cash the checks after aScer-
tanning that the bank was closed. AS
they had traded at the store before
and had always paid for the goods
bought, the money was given them
after finding out the financial respon-
sibility of the man whose signature
seemed to be attached.
A hearing will be held before Judge
G. c. Frye in Municipal Court this
morning, and if the evidence is suf-
ticient the prisoner will probably be
bound over to the County Court.

BOLTON FOUND GUILTY.
Jury Returns Verdict Against West
Burke Man Charged With Mall
practicc-Thrcc-Y Year Sentence

a verdict Of guiltyNwaS returned Fri
day morning in County court, against
George w. Bolton Of West Burke, tried
for the second time, on the charge of
having performed an illegal opera
ton upon Miss Anna Gupderson of
Bridgeport, Conn, at West Burke on
Juno IT last. The first trial which re-
suited in Il disagreement of the jury
after being out SO hours came to a
close on December %. Judge Butler
pronounced sentence of not less than
three, nor more than three and half
years in the State Prison at Windsor.
''Dr." Bolton was admitted to bail
pending exceptions that may be taken
by his attorney.
Soon after the opening of County
Court Friday morning, the jury
which had been out since about 5 pm.
the preceding day, announced that
they had reached decision: They
filed into the jury seats and their ver-
dict about which there had been much
Speculation during the progress of the
trial, was delivered to the court.
Judge Butler in pronouncing SEN
tcnce, gave the minimum term pro-
vided by the law.
The Bolton trial has seemingly
proved the case of main interest dur
ing the present session Of County
Court, if the street corner and store
conversation can be taken as an in
dication. The second trial aroused
more interest in the county because
OF the disagreement Of the jury at the
first trial.
A recess of county court was taken
at the close of the morning session un-
til January 30.

often outnumbering threefold the
ritish holding the positions upon
which the attacks were directed.
The Germans had TO make these
counter attack across te open, un-
der the very eyes OF the British field
guns and the losse2 entailed have
been visibly enormous.
1t is not possible to visit a batter
in tn Arras, section without hearing
of the wonderful shooting they have
had of late. There has been nothing
like it since the war began, so far
as the British are cor 'cr0ed and the
kahki gunners feel that they are pay
ing off many old scores of the carly
days when the German artillery domi-
ted and there was not single high
calibered British cannon on the con-
tinent.
The corporation OF the airPanes
and artillery in smashing the counter
attacks have been little short of mar
vicious.
Sheets of Leaden Shrapnel Rain.
flying machines have quickly
discovered the assembling OF troops
and have sent minute details by wire
less back to t',c b; cries with the re-
suit that the guns were t~aineF and
re .dy the moment the gray-clad
hordes issued from protecting trees
or a village, nply. smothering them
under high c losives and sheets Of
leaden shrapnel rain.
When it is recalled that, as at Gra-
vclle, the have been nearly score
of unsuccessful counter attacks of this
character some idea of the German
losses can be ad Since the dead
left behind tell the tale, great efforts
have been made lately by the Ger
mans to cl--r the battlefelds of their
dead wherever it is possible to do so.
More recently orders have been cap
tured on the subject together with
one urgent appeal from company
commander that at least two big
wagons be sent Immediately to carry
away our dead"
1t is one of the pafadoxes of mod
ern fighting that fixed positions have
actually yielded more readily to d.
rect attack and have been more cas-
lily defended against counter attacks
than the semi-open warfare shelters
dug here and there in new ground.
Mown Down is Great Masses.
For instance, since Thursday last
the Germans have been throwing
great masses against the Australians
in an endeavor to retake a section of
the Hindcnburg line east of Bulle-
court captured May 3, representing
a distinct salient. The Australians
have been attacked from three sides.
During the day the counter attack
ers have been killed by artillery and
at night have been driven off with
bombs and bayonets.
The bite into the Hindenburg line
by the Australians has meant the al
most complete obliteration of sec
ton of this strong position, which
formerly ran from Arras to Queant.
The capture Of Vinny ridge by the
Canadians on April 9 left the Arras-
Queant position "in the air" and the
turning of the top Of that line next
day beyond Melville Vitassc led the
Germans to begin the immediate prep

Queant switch as the new northern
extension OF the Hindenburg line.
The Australian success east OF Bull
lecourt, being L threat against the im-
portant Queant junction. the Germans
naturally are fighting with the utmost
determination to offset the latest adj
vance and again their losses have been
admittedly heavy.
In Touch With Hindenburg Line.
The British are in touch with the
Hindenburg line all the way from
Queant south TO St. Quentin and are
steadily pressing the Germans to-
ward the Drocourt switch in the
north, The Germans apparently are
determined not to retire until they
are forced to do so,
Thus it can be seen that the often
sive, IN which great losses are III
ficted, are often of more importance
than a gain OF ground not strongly
defended.

prisoners profess joy that the rigid
immobile trench warfare is over in
one breath and then Immediately as
sert that in the depth of their forth
fed zone is their dependence to hold

antiy remark that the German higher
command no longer regards the loss
OF ground as important, on the theory
that the possession OF this or that
isolated terrain no longer plays a de-
cisive role
Asked why, then, it is that the Ger
mans throw away so many lives in
trultless counter attacks against So
called isolated positions wrested from
them, the prisoner-oficers shrug their
shoulders and say that the counter at
tacks are intended only to inflict
losses upon the British without re-
gard to whether they win back posi-
tons Or not.
The idea that the operations al
ways go according 10 the plans of the
higher command has been thorough
ly inculcated into the German army.
Each loss of village is Landed in

Will Reappraise School
lands in AZ Counties
(From a Staff Correspondent

Lincoln, Neb., May 6.-(Special. y
REIMBURSEMENT of school lands in
forty-seven Nebraska counties will be
made this summer, according to no.
tees sent out by Land Commissioner
Shumway. Most of it has not been
appraised since 1904 and it is expected
that a reappraisement will add con-
siderably to the school funds.
Cherry county has the greatest
acreage. 236,59l acres, while Sheridan
county comes next with 92,l34 acres.
The smallest acreage is in Hamilton
county, more than seven and one-half
acres Of Burlington railroad right of
way. There is still 1871 acres left in
Douglas county subject to ueappraise-
ment.
