ipecial to Times Republican.
Estherville. Dec. 1.-THE officers
leye have been notified OF the arrest o!
Robert Pryor at Leads, s. p. Pryor is
wanted here for passing fraudulent
checks few weeks ago. After work
ing all summer for one Of our dray and
transfer lines, gaining the acquaintance
and confidence sof the business men, he
deliberately made out number OF
checks ranging from $25 to $50, and
during the evening Of Saturday night
visited several stores buying small
articles and handing out the bogus
checks in payment, receiving the
change and on 4 stock train made his
getaway, cleaning up something over
$500.
The victims Of his fraud offered q
reward Of 5000, but the fact that the
checks were not discovered until the
following Monday at the city bank
clearing gave him a good start of the
officers and it looked like he might get
away with the Job, but the officers
have kept hot on every clue with the
result of his arrest.
In order to conceal his identity he
had picked up several army registra-
ton cards Of the local boys and these
proved his undoing, u the officers at
Leads finding more than one card took
him in tow and wrote the officers here
and sent description and photograph
which proves his identity beyond a
doubt. He also had one Of the diamond
scarf pins and a watch he had pur-
chased here.
It is understood In looking up his
record he IS wanted as deserter from
the navy and II SO the federal officers
have the first claim on him and the
officers here will not have the satisfac-
ton Of seeing him, or returning him
here

Hard Fighting in Region Of
Arras SINNERS Down to
Artillery Action.
FRENCH ALSO PASSIVE
German Attack on French
Positions In Verdun Re-
gion Repealed.

Apparently the sanguinary struggle
that has been going on in the region
of Arras has come to pause for the
moment. Thursday saw no infantry
engagements anywhere along the
front so far as the British and Ger
man official communications have
made known. The London war Of
fee reports nothing except artillery
activity at various points, while Ber-
linz asserts that of the days activity
there is nothing Of importance to
report. ..-...
The only thing savoring Of clash
between the infantry wings of the
belligerent armies occurred south
east of Ypres, where the Germans
early Thursday morning attempted to
raid British crater position but were
driven off with casualties.
Likewise on that part of the line
held by the French there has been
similar let-up in the fighting except
by the big guns. After their SAN
culinary repulse Wednesday, the
Germans did not return to the attack
Thursday in the Chemin-Des-Dames
region northeast of Scissors. They
also failed to renew their counter
attacks west of Cerny and in the re-
gion of Hurtebise farm, but violently
shelled the two latter sectors. In the
Avocourt wood in the Verdun region,
the German made an attempt TO wrest
positions from the French but were
repealed by grenades.
On the eastern part Of the AustrO-
Italian theater the AustrianS are keep
ing up their vigorous bombardment
of Italian positions and here and Tiers
have made infantry sorties, all of
which were repulsed.
The British troops in the Lake Dol
ran region of Macedonia have con-
solidated the positions they captured
from the Bulgarians Wednesday,
previously having put down four
counter-attacks in which sanguinary
losses were suffered by the enemy.
Artillery duels of violence continue
along the entire Macedonian front.

WHEAT OUTLOOK
IMPROVING
Where Not Killed The Fields
Are Coming Out =
Wonderfully.

All through the latter part of the
winter and the early part Of spring
the farmers OF Christian county have
eagerly watched every turn Of the
wind and every passing cloud. The
severewinter threatened to freeze out
all the wheat that had been planted
and the wet spring Offset early plant
ing of most crops. But at last the
rains ceased and the farmers were
able to plant their crops.
All of the wheat that was left by the
winter freeze has come out wonders
fully, and every farmer who has any
kind of a stand feels sure that he will
have good crop.
The Government has sent out special
instructions and advice to the farmers;
the State Universities have sent out
their agricultural students and every
thing is being done to meet the good
crisis in this time of danger, but now
new danger threatens. 1t has not
rained for quite a while and from all
indications il will not rain for some
time to come and the farmers fear
that those crops which they have sue
ceeded in planting, will be stunted by
the lack of rain.
We know that our nation is fighting
for the right and we hope and trust
that God will bless us with good crops,
even though il may appear doubtful at
present. ...s

Socialist Expelled.

State Senator Frank Raguse, So
cialist, was expelled from the Wiscon-
sin senate by 80 to 3. for saying in a
speech:
This resolution is to create patriot
ism, but it will not do it. You cannot
create patriotism in country where
So per cent. of the people do not own
land. The way to create patriotism,
as / understand it, is to do as was
done when the Maine was blown up
from the inside and property and
lives both were destroyed, in order
that remember the Maine should be
heralded over the country and the
country and the people would be
aroused to patriotism.
Before the adoption of the final
resolution Raguse declared he had
not been given a fair hearing and
challenged "any able-bodied man" in
the senate to enlist in the United
States army with him and there prove
their patriotism.
