capturing Monte San Gabrielle gives Gen
eral Cadorna a strong position from
which to strike another smashing blow
at the Austrians in his march toward
the defeat of the central powers. The
capture of San Gabrielle is much like the
victory of the British some months ago
in winning Vimy ridge, which had stood
as strong barrier between them and

AUTO ACCIDENT

"mle passing through New Castle
on the return drive from Divide creek
"a most unfortunate accident took
place, resulting in Robert Brackney
having the upper part of his hip bone
broken and his son, Vint, sustaining
slight injuries. Vint had been driv-
ing, but turned the wheel over to his
father in order to put on his overcoat.
In adjusting the coat he threw out his
arm, striking his fathers hand from
the wheel in such manner as to throw
the gas, thus causing the car to swerve
and leap over the bank of the ditch
where it turned over. DIR. Hopkins was
called to the injured man, and he is
improving as rapidly as could be ex-
pected

MONTHLY MEETING OF
CITY BOARD

The city daddies held theix regular
monthly meeting last Monday evening
and transacted the business which came
before them, which, however, was not
approval of regular monthly reports
and bills.
The board was asked to appoint a
committee of citizens to look into the
coal situation and assist Mr.. Galligan
whom the governor has named as coal
commissioner of this state. The board
complied with the request by naming
a committee composed of Ollie Thorsou,
IC. w. Taylor, William Cross and j. c.
Schwarz.
Alderman Mccoy, who was appointed
some time ago as the city's appraiser
to join with others in making appraise-
ment Of the Mutual Light, Heat and
Power company in accordance with the
ordinance or charter under which the
company was operating, was asked for
his report and he reported that he had
no report to make as he had received
no word from the company since they
were notified of his appointmen t No
one seemed sufficiently concerned to
ask any questions about it and the
board passed to the next order of bust
ness.
After the regular order of business
had been finished City Engineer Theo-
dore Rosenberg arose to a question of
personal privilege, as they say at the
country lyceum, and rehearsed some
trouble he has had with H. B. Ikeler,
the plumber, over Mr.. Rosenberg s
numerous attempts to collect his fees
as plumbing inspector for the past few
years. He called attention to the pro-
visions of the ordinance in regard to
plumbing Licenses, which ordinances he
declared Mr.. 1keler persists in violat-
ing. He says the last time he spoke to
lkeler about paying him the inspection
fees provided by ordinance he was told
by Ikeelr to go to hell, and he added
that he had made his way as far as the
council chamber. The council thought
as he had made good beginning they
would let him move on, but they prom,
ised to have the city attorney look nl
the ordinance and advise them of thei,
duties in the matter although they in
formed Mr.. Rosenberg that they were
not acting as a collection agency.

Maxima|ist Group Headed by
Anarchist Lenine Seize the
Russian Government
C0SSACKS ARE LOYAL
Petrograd is again in turmoil.

Petrograd is again in turmoil.
The provisional government has been
thrown out of power by the extreme
radicals headed by Nickolai Lenine;
Premier Kerensky has fled the capital.
several of his ministers have been
placed under arrest and the Winter
Palace, the seat of the government, has
been bombarded by the guns of the
cruiser Aurora and of the st. Peter
and st. Paul fortresses and forced to
capitulate to the revolutionists.
A congress of the workmen IS and
soldiers delegates of all Russia has
convened in Petrograd and will discuss
the questions of organization of power,
peace and war, and the formation of a
constituent assembly. A delegation has
been named by the congress to confer
with other revolutionary and domestic
organizations with view of initiating
peace negotiations for the purpose Of
taking steps to stop the bloodshed.
As yet the details of the disorders
which followed the assumption of power
by the radical element are meager, but
it is known that from its mooring in
Neva, the cruiser Aurora fired shrapnel
and solid shot against the Winter Pal
ace for four hours with the guns Of the
great fortresses and machine guns sta
toned in front of the palace keeping
in accord with the salvos from the war
ship. Desultory fighting also took
place at various points inside the city,
the rcvolutionaries capturing vantage
points along the Nevsky prospect and
various bridges over the Neva.
1t is possible that the casualties
among the citizenry were slight as the
workmen s and soldiers delegates took
precautions to warn the people to seek
refuge in their homes.
Reports as to the whereabouts Of
kercnsky are various. Some of them
say he has sought safety in Moscow,
while others assert he has gone to the
front in an endeavor to obtain the
backing of the troops to forestall
debacle of his regiment. Cossack regi
mcnts are declared already to have as
serted their readiness whole -heartedly
to support the government, on condition
that no compromise with the revolution
i.ts is made, but, on the other hand, it
is asserted that delegates from the
Black and Baltic sea fleets have de-
clarcd themselves in favor of the radt-
Gals.

IN MEDICAL CORPS

Word was received from San Fran.
cisco this week that George D. Kelk"r
son of Mr.. and Mrs. George Kelker OF
this city, has enlisted in the United
States Medical Reserve corps and is
now subject to call at any time, al.
though he hopes to be able to finish
his college work and secure his diplo.
ma which he will be entitled to receive
next June, as he Is senior in the
medical department of the Leland Stan
ford university.
George is one of Glenwood S bright
est young men and we predict for him
brilliant and successful professional
career. Soon after leaving Glenwood
last summer he applied for enlistment
in the medical corps but heard nothing
from his, application and was finally
drafted in the regular way under the
provisions of the selective draft. After
he had explained that he was medical
student, due to graduate this college
year and that he had already applied
for enlistment in the medical corps he
was granted an honorable discharge
and his application in the medical
corps was accepted, thus putting him
right where he wants to be, although
he hopes he may be allowed to remain
in school until his graduation when he
will be glad to serve his country wher-
ever he may be called.
