AMERICANS KILLED
 BY GERMAN SHELLS
ONE SHELL BURSTS IN TRENCH OCCUPIED BY OUR BOYS-CAS-
 UALTlES ARE NOT STATED.
:;::.::::::::::.::.:::..::.::::::

With the American Army in France. A number of American soldiers have been killed or wounded in the recent shelling Of the American trenches by the Germans. One shell which dropped into a trench caused several casualties.
 The American artillery fire has been heavy recently and there is good reason to believe that it has account ed for a considerable number of the enemy.
 The accuracy of the American ar tillerymen's fire has evoked enthusias- tic comments from the French su- perior officers of the command III which are the trenches occupied by the American troops. The general in command told American officers that the marksm?nship of the artillery men was excellent, comparing most favorably with that of troops which had been at war for years.
 The American officers were highly elated by the compliment. The only complaint heard is that a few of the American batteries are not as rapid as they might be, but they are improy- ing daily.
 The infantry is now interesting it. self especially in patrols. It is the unanimous opinion that the men are learning more of the science of war by their short stay in the trenches and gun pits than is possible to gam in months of other instruction.
 Maj.-Gen. Sibert's fifth son is now in the army. Two of his sons are captains, one is lieutenant and one Q West Point cadet, and the general instructed his fifth and youngest son to keep away for the present. He has been advised, however, thal his youngest felt he could keep out of the army no longer. He has just enlisted as 8 private.

GUNS SENT ID MINE
 FIELDS WITHDRAWN
TESTIFIED DISTRICT PRESIDENT STEWART DID NOT COUNTE-
 NANCE VIOLENCE.
MINE SUIT NEARING END
Only Three More Witnesses To Be Ex- amined in Litigation Between Coal Syndicate and United Mine
 Workers.
Fort Smith,

T OlI toullll.-
 Guns shipped into the Hartford val ley prior to the battle of July F, 1914, by Fred Holt, secretary-treasurer of district No. 21 United Mine Workers of America, were withdrawn on orders of President Peter R. Stewart of the district as soon as te leaned of them, according to witnesses for the defense in the S2,221, 900 damage suit of the -Esshc-Denman Coal Syndicate against the miners, now on trial in federal court at Fort Smith. Only three more defense witnesses remain to be ex- amined.
 The reputation Of William Jesse Goatcher, a plaintiff witness, who said W. H. Cluck told him he and Jim Slankard shot up Frogtown, a union BacheDenman nonunion camp at No. mine, was attacked by several wit nesses, who declared his reputation for truth and veracity was bad. One man, Ed Baker of Hartford, who Goatcher said told him he. assaulted O. T. Looper in the April riot, and borrowed mule from him to distrib- ute guns to the miners, declared he did not know Goatcher and had never seen him in his life
 Several more witnesses testified that they had been in numerous joint conferences between the miners and operators, and had never heard of any conspiracy to stiflle nonunion compe- tition.
 Harry N. Taylor of Kansas City vice president of the Central Coal and Coke Company, on cross examination declared records in support of it's con spiracy charge were "of nS conse- quence." He said the real work of the conferences was done in commit tees and no record was taken of it.
 The speeches were made in the open session, he declared, to allow some conferees who thought they knew something about the coal busi- ness to display their knowledge.
 He said operators sometimes used the unorganized condition of West Virginia as an argument against the increased wages, but had to abandon that argument when it became gen. orally known that operators who d. ways found their way to the subscale committee operated non-union mines in West Virginia and union mines in union territory.

Lloyd England, receiver of the State National Bank of Little Rock, which was closed June F, 1914, still has S11, 1,4S2.96 in checks for dividends that have not been called for. He is anxious that the claimants come for their money. MT. England as receiver has paid five dividends aggregating S69S, ,204.02, or total of 80 per cent, of the original claims to 2,903 claim ants. There are 1,45S depositors who have not proven their claims or have failed to secure their checks for one or more dividends MT. England says that probably many of these claimants are now nonresidents, but if they will inform him of their addresses he will mail them receipts to be signed and returned with the proofs of claims. On receipt of these claims the receiv CT will make out the necessary en- dorsements and forward the checks.
 The first dividend of 10 per cent was paid in June, 1915. There are 69 persons whose claims aggregate $73.1G that have not called for their checks. During 1915 another 10 per cent divt. dend was paid and 98 persons whose claims are S16S.42 have not secured their checks. A 20 per cent dividend was paid early in 1916 and $394.92 worth of claims due 139 depositors arc unclaimed. In December 1916, divI- dend of 30 per cent was paid and 227 persons, with total claims of $1,762S4, did not get their checks. The last dividend was for 10 per cer4 and was made payable October 30 of this year. Out of this dividend Receiver Eng land has on hand uncalled for 925 checks for S9,082.62.
 Besides the uncalled for money and that already set aside to pay deposi- tors, Receiver England has some cash on deposit with the treasurer of the United States and other assets of considerable value. Every effort will be made to realize on thes assets as much money as possible that ad- ditional dividends may be paid.
