New Paris Citizens

NEW PARIS, O., Dec. 11.-One coal
car which had almost been emptied by
citizens here whose houses have been
cold and two other full cars Of coal,
which have been standing on the rail-
road tracks for more than a week,
were taken from reach Of the citizens
late Monday afternoon by the railroad
company.
Many people had hired teams and
wagons and were hauling coal to their
homes when the railroad engine drew
up ond pulled the cars out of the reach
CT the people.
The raid on the one car was started
Sunday afternoon and was almost
emptied when taken away. It is be-

car of coal to arrive within several

MOVIE SHOW

EATON, O., Dec. 11.-Miss Minnie
DeCamp, who was imprisoned for
nearly seventeen years on the fifty
acre farm of Jacob Schmick, five miles
north of Eaton, has never seen a pic
ture show.
When she went to Schmick's farm
nearly seventeen years ago, to live al
most as prisoner, there were no pic
ture shows. Now that she is to come
and go as she likes, she is laboring un-
der a nervous strain and is afraid, ac-
cording to E. P. Vaughan, attorney who
is representing her.
That Schmick, who held Miss De-
Camp on the farm through fear that if
it became known they both would be
arrested and disgraced, gave Miss De-
Camp check for S100 shortly before
she left him, when he was at death s
door, it became known Tuesday.
Buys New Clothes.
One of the first things Miss DeCamp
used part Of the money for was to
purchase new clothes. For during the
entire time she lived on the Schmick
farm she never had a new dress, a
new HAT Ouiy one new pair Ol SilOGS
did she have during this time.
The wooden chest in the home Of
Schmick, is still securely locked. Mys.
terry surrounds it, as it is thought pos
sible that Schmick may have left will
and locked it in the chest.
Miss DeCamp has told her attorney
however that Schmick made no will
that she ever saw or heard him say
anything about.

Austro-German effort to break

Brenta failed with losses. The enemy
then reformed his shattered forces
and attempted to break through be-

An apparently local attempt to cross

by Austrian soldiers.

Miss Frances Petit and John Ma hood have succeeded for a week in keeping their secret, but the truth will out and this case is no exception. Despite frequent denials, the Herald IS able to announce boldly that this popular couple became one in Needles last Thursday. The ceremony was per formed by the justice of the peace, and the first word of the affair is said to have been conveyed by means of a letter from one of the Needles minis ters to friend here.
 Mir. Manhood has been connected with the White Market for several months. The happy young folks are making their home with Mrs. Pettit's parents on Tennessee, where the chariviri art ists will find them at home every eve ming.

 The Golconda Annex claim of the Union Metals Company has produced half a carload of silver-lead ore and good progress is being made toward filling out the car.
 The shaft on the Fredonia claim of the same company has been sunk to a depth of 135 feet and crosscutting for the vein is in progress.
 The company's tungsten mine near Victorville, Cal, is opening up into considerable of a bonanza and is at- tracting a great deal of attention. Much of the ore ranges around $16O0 per ton.

The south drift on the 3OO-foot level of the Bullion has been advanced 100 feet from the shaft and the face con- tinues in a good grade of quicksilver lead ore.
 A raise has been started in the north drift, about 15 feet from the shaft, and fine body of ore is being opened up. This is the ore that was passed through by the crosscut and carries a heavy lead-silver content. The raise is now about 15 feet above the roof of the drift and the pros pect of opening up a large body of this class of ore is highly encourag- ing.
