Attempted Raid Over Eng
land Last Saturday
Proved Disastrous.
HUGE ZEPPELINS
BROUGHT DOWN.
All France Exultant Over
What Is Declared Great
est Defeat Since War.

Washington, Oct. 23.-Germany
probably lost one-half of her effec-
tive fleet of super-Zeppelins on the
day of October 20th in the disastrous
raid over England, according to Off
cial cablegrams received in Washing
ton. All France is exultant over
what the dispatches declare to be
the greatest defeat ever administered
to an air fleet since the beginning
of the war. The qualification is the
more intense because it is known that
this German raid was an attempt to
carry out fearful threat of venge-
ance made four days ago..
On that occasion the German gov
eminent sent out a warning to both
France and England of dire punish
ment to follow what the Germans de-
clared to be unwarranted and inhu-
name attacks by British and French
aviators upon peaceful German towns.
Reprisals were threatened in an off,
cial German communication, which,
in part. reads:
"For every brick which falls from
peaceful German homes, whole rows
of buildings will be overthrown IN
Paris"
The official French report of the
attempted German raid reads as fol-
lows:
The first Zeppelin brought down
fell at St. Clement on the borders of
the forest of Mondon, ten kilometers
from Luneville. It was seen at 6:2O
a. M, journeying with two other Yep
pelins. 1t was at once attacked by
one of our army's defense sections.
At first series of shells were fired
at the Zeppelin when it was distant
4000 meters. In a fresh attack by
tire aircraft guns. the fourth she'll
struck the outside envelope and the
Zeppelin caught fire. 1t remained
mass of metal and India rubber and
broken prouelors. Five dead bodies
horribly mutilated, were found near
the Zeppelin. Others must be buried
under the ruins, which are still smok
ing There could not have ocen any
bombs left in the Zeppelin, as no
explosions were heard, The apparatus
had four propellers.

Watch place. Loses Job
for Neglect of Duty"

Considerable mystery surrounds the
burning, after two previous attempts
of the house at Ill West Cervantes
street, at lis o'clock yesterday
morning, the house being the proper
ty of DR.. Welch and in the Watson
agency. It had lately been occupied
by D. r. Deal, who, however, was
preparing to move out of the city
In fact his family had been moved,
and preparations were being made to
pack up the furniture. A great deal
of excelsior and hay had been as
sembled at the place to pack the furni-
ture, it is said, and when fire start
rapidly and very shortly the place
was a mass of ruins. Two hours
later another call from the same
point resulted in the sending of one
truck, the ruins having started to
burning brilliantly, endangering near
by property.
On October II, the same place was
rather mysteriously fired, it was re-
ported, and for the past several niohts
a special officer had been specially
instructed to watch the house. Mon
dav. night Special Officer Shackelford
was again detailed to watch the place.
Shortly after 1 o'clock, according to
the report of the special officer,
noise was heard in the house as if
chair had been overturned, and he
started to investigate. About that
time someone was seen to run from
the place, and Shackelford fired three
times at the fleeing figure. This,
however, does not coincide with re-
ports from people in the neighbor-
hood who telephoned the station that
the place was afire before the shots
were fired.
For this divergence of opinion,
Police Captain Anderson, after maxi
ing an investigation, dismissed Off
Ger Shackelford from the depart
ment, for 'tnerlect of duty 1t was
claimed that the officer had been de
tailed to watch that house, and had
been detached from all other work in
the department.
The police, with able assistance
from the insurance companies. kept
up a rigid investigation yesterday,
and it was stated last night that an
arrest may be effected today. The
furniture in the house was insured
for $500, it is said.

BRITISH HOLDING THE
NEW POSITIONS GAINED.

British Front, France, Oct. 23.-
The new allied line as established in
yesterdays attack and which is
astride the Ypres-Staden railway, is
intact today, with the exception of
the loss of one fortified farm. Fight
ing was especially severe near the
junction of the British and French
forces. German defenses on the out
skirts of Houtholst wood were very
strong. The enemy fell back, bat
Ting determinedly with machine guns
and rifles.
At one point the British were un-
able to maintain their most forward
positions as reached because of the
violent enfilading artillery fire.

Judge Jones of Court of Rec
ord Grants Temporary
Restraining Order.
DOES NOT STOP
OTHER PROSECUTION
Three Questions Considered
in the Main in Reaching
Final Decision.

After giving the matter the most
careful consideration, Judge c. Mo-
reno Jones yesterday handed down a
decision granting a temporary re-
straining order, with the notation
that it "shall in no way affect any
criminal prosecution or prosecutions
pending against the said j. G. Hill
lard, in this county,
In other words. the court holds
that the sheriff must keep out of
the service club in his official capac-
ity. but that he will be prosecuted on
any other charge which may have and
might be filed against him in the
liquor business, if it is charged that
he has been selling liquor illegally.
There were three questions, in the
main, considered by the court in
reaching conclusion of the impor-
tant question. That part of the bill
covering this feature reads as fol-
lows:
As the Bill Reads.
The questions for the determination
of the court are:
Do the facts as set forth in de-
fendant's answer sufficiently show
that liquors, wines and beers were
served or dispensed by "club or
other association of persons, incoy-
porated or not Incorporated ~.
Do the facts as alleged in defend
ants answer sufficiently show that
liquors, wines and beers were served
or dispensed by a member, employe
or agent of club or other associa-
ton of persons?
If so, there would be a violation of
the statute, and defendants answer
would constitute a defense to said
bill
If not. the said answer of defend
ant would be insufficient as q de-
fense.
AS to the first question, in my
opinion, the allegations of defend
ants answer are not sufficient to
show that there was a club or other
association of persons within the defi-
milton of club or association, in con-
temptation of law.
AS to the second question, in my
opinion, the allegations of defend
fendant's answer sufficiently show
that Hilliard served or dispensed
liquors, wine or beer as a member,
employe or agent of any club or other
association of persons. It is true that
the allegations of the answer show
that he was bailee for those storing
liquor with him and which was aft
erward served and dispensed to those
who had stored it with him; but there
is nothing in the ALLEGATIONS of the
answer to show that the relation of
master and .servant. principal and
agent existed lbetween himself and
anyone or that he was a member of
any club or other association. 1t is
true that the answer ALLEGES that he
was conducting a club, but that is a
which the other ALLEGATIONS
in support thereof fail to sustain.
