gether with DR.. F. w. Mitchell, the
assisting physician, and two steno-

no confusion as they enter. After
the physical examination the party

reports that had already been sent
in to Washington, from other sec
tions of the United States, the per-
centage of exemptions averaged be-
tween rs and 80 per cent. This Is

cepted in the Utah Battery, U. N. t.
and reports for duty Monday. He
went to Salt Lake City Sunday to
look after his application, his wish
being to go with an organization
made up partly of men who had been
his classmates in the University OF

Mr.. Kutnewsky has been with the

LAND CASES

In the land case of the United
States versus John W. Whitehead
Theodore Espe, was special agent fol
the government and B. ]. Briggs, OF
Idaho Falls, represented the defend
ant. The government alleged that
Whitehead had not by law, claim to
the land which he had settled, owing
to the fact that he had not made
sufficient improvements for owner
ship. The case has not yet been de-
cided.
In the case of Clem Battershell
and Thomas B. Jones the land in
volved is in north range 35 east.
Both men claim to have made stimuli
taneous settlement. The register and
receiver decided in favor of Batter
shell.
Another case of interest was that
of willard Adams and David Peter
son, who claim to have settled on the
same land at the same time. After
hearing both sides the received and
register were unable to come to any
decision. There will be drawing,
by number, at the land office, be-
tween Adams and Peterson, to de-
eide ownership, on August 81.
Thomas e. Haworth and Cecil
Woodward claimed simultaneous set
tlement on the same piece of prop
erty; the case was tried at the land
office last week. 1t was discovered
that Woodward had never lived on
the land, but as q matter Of fact had
lived on land a mile away. The re-
ceiver and register decided against
Woodward.
Miss Butterfeld. of American
Falls, and a very fne stenographer
was here taking down the cases.

PREFER POISON TO
BEING PRISONERS
By William @. shepherd

By William G. Shepherd.
Petrograd.-Russia's women soldiers
have pledged themselves to take their
own lives rather than become German
war prisoners.
Each woman soldier carries ra-
tion of cyanide Of potassium to be
swallowed in event of capture. The
members of the women regiments,
now constantly increasing agreed that
death was to be preferred to the
fate they would probably meet at the
hands of the Germans.
Good Killers
The Legion of Death Fighters are
"good killers" learned this today
when l talked to five of them, now in
"a hospital near here, suffering from
shell shock. From woman's lips
/ heard how she had run German
thru with her bayonet, firing the
rifle at the same time. From others
I heard how these women and girls,
fresh from comfortable homes and
universities, went leaping over mang-
led, bloody bodies in the charge with
enemy shells bursting all about them.
More Ready to Fight
But these narrowing experiences OF
the women fighters have steeled them
and hundreds of other girls to new
determination to see 1t thru. Girl
soldiers drilling in the streets are
now a common sight in Petrograd.
Huge crowds gather daily about
the engineers school where 1000
girls are drilling, preparing to go to
the front.
In Moscow !, 900 more are training,
while Kiev and Odessa have smaller
bands.
Premier Kerensky has also author
lied the formation Of women marine
detachments and has promised to as
sign them to ships.
The new women commands attempt
no sort of decoration. Their heads
are shaved and they wear the regula-
tion uniform, including the heavy,
ugly army boots.
The FIVE women fighters l visited at
the hospital were partially paralyzed
by shell shock, one OF them, a peas
ant girl, smiled joyouly as she point
ed to a German helmet on the bed be-
side her. 1t was the first war prize
Of a Russian woman.
"I saw German in front OF me as
I ran forward with the others in the
charge" she told me. ut was his
life or mine raised by rife, plung-
ed with all my strength. ! stabbed
him. The bayonet went deep into
his body. At the same moment l
pulled the trigger. He dropped dead:
Then I took his hat as souvenir. y
Scared at First
"What was the battle like?" ask
ed another of the legionnaRies
"I was very nervous just before the
charge" she replied. eve knew the
order was coming and naturally we
were Just little scared. But as soon
as the orders to go forward came, we
forgot everything else in the advance.
"I could hear our girls yelling and
shouting thruout the march forward.
None of us were afraid once we got
started. We were in the midst OF
a great fusillade of shot. Then terri
fic big shell began breaking all
around us. ,,.
eve were again frightened little
when we first saw dead men about.
Rut before very long we were jump
ing over bloody corpes and quickly
forgot all about them"
"WeW couldn't tell what was gong
on anywhere" said third girl in de-
scribing the final stages OF the battle.
Commander Bochkoreva was
everywhere in our midst, urging us

Tn Chicago I have seen some big sales of many kinds said L. c. James of McArthur Bros but | don't re- member any used car sale anywhere near in volume of sales, interest of the public or in size of publicity campaign compared to McArthur Bros used car sale, which ends tonight. This sale has been success from every stand point. We have moved great num-
 Der of cars which will relieve the crowded condition caused by moving the different departments of McArthur
 Bros organization under one roof.
 We also feel" said MT. James. that this sale has established our new loca-
 tion in the minds of the public more quickly than could have been accom- plished in any other way Special ef- forts will be made to make the last day the banner day of the sale, and l feel safe in saying that those who buy used cars today will get big value for their money. On Monday all used
 cars will be moved to the second floor, | which will be the permanent used car salesroom, and the downstairs will be placed in readiness to show the new Nash and Packard models. which will 1 arrive soon
