French Drive Successful

Paris, July 9.--Suddenly assuming
the offensive, French troops swept for
ward last night between Bovettes ridge
and Chevregny, recapturing first line
trenches over front of a mile, ae-
cording to today's official report.
"Between Bovettes ridge and Chev-
reginy we counter attacked and in
sharp fighting the French, with admir-
able ardor, re-took the first line trench
es on mile front, regaining the major
part of the territory lost in the enemy s
powerful action Sunday between Pan
aheon and Froidemont farm, - the war
office asserted. In the region south Of
Filain, artillery fire reached violent
intensity. Around Pantheon strong
enemy attack was brilliantly repulsed.
"T.ater details of the enemy's attack
Sunday between Pantheon and Froide-
mont farm show that twelve fresh bat
talions and three different divisions of
picked troops participated against us.
The attack was accompanied by liquid
fire. Prisoners taken by us confirm the
heavy losses we inflicted on the enemy.
"On the left bank of the Meuse in
the salient west of Mort HOmme (Dead
Man S Hill) two attacks were repuls-
ed.
In the Champagne, raids were re-
pulsed between Rood, st. Hilare aud St.
oSuplet. -
The section where the French coun-
ter attack thus detailed won back
ground from the Germans was that IN
which the German army staff tried
desperately to break the French grip
around Laon. The assaults started ten
DAYS ago and were made by prodig-
ious expenditure of ammunition and
great masses of troops. 1t was the Ger
mans most powerful offensive against
the French since the Verdun attacks.
The enemy forced REIMBURSEMENT of a
small section of trenches by the French.

plot has apparently failed. General

started in his attempt at institution of
a monarchy in China by German money
and German arms left by agents of the
kaiser, was reported today to be in
dire straits in Peking. The youthful en-
peror, once deposed to make way for
the republic and recently re-elevated to
the throne by Chang Hsun, was report
ed again to have stepped down. Chang
Hsun, himself, was understood to have
resigned command of the army, an
army now fast dwindling. by desertions
and under pressure from advancing re-
publican forces.
The first battle of the republican
campaign against the monarchy has
been fought at Lang Fang, midway be-
tween Tien Tsin and Peking, according
to advices received today.
Chang Hsun assumed the offensive
and attacked the republican troops un.

Thomas Bill Aimed
At Old Ament Dam

Representative Thomas has intro
duced bill, which has for its pur-
pose the removal of any dam which
has been found to be menace to
public health and safety. The bill
is particularly aimed at the Ament
dam in Josephine county, which is in
an unsafe condition, and besides is a
barrier to fishing on the upper
Rogue, as the fish ladders are in
very bad condition and many fish
are turned back and kept from COM
ing up over the ladders at this place.
The bill empowers the county court
to start proceedings against the own
ers or caretakers, and If found to be
in such state of unrepair as to
deem the dam nuisance, the court
can order the destruction of the dam.
Mr.. Thomas has the support of the
Josephine county delegation on his
bill, they contending that it will only
be short time until high water will
break down this dam, and in the
event this occurs the big steel bridge
at Grants Pass will be endangered
and possibly washed down the river.

Ends Brief Career
In County Jail

Charley Watson, who has been en-
ployed for some time past at the Cove
ranch, became imbued with an ad-
venturous spirit Saturday and started
out on a miniature emulation OF the
career of Captain Kidd, his piracy
being confined to dry land, however.
First Watson stole a saddle from the
Cove ranch. The theft was diseOv-
cred and the saddle found at the
establishment of some local junk
dealers who had purchased 1t In good
faith from Watson, paying him $2.50.
The first discovery led to others, and
1t now appears that Watson had
made a wholesale cleaning here,
there and everywhere. He had stol-
en- an overcoat from Mr.. Mclain Of
the Cove ranch and numerous other
articles. In Ashland he had pur-
chased a number of articles of the
Trading Company on other peoples
credit and had borrowed money from
various acquaintances.
The police department was put in
touch with his misdeeds, and learning
that the land pirate had set sail for
Medford, chartered Murphy's auto
mobile and charted course in like
direction. Just as the police got
within ship ahoy" distance the good
ship ran out of gasoline, sputtered,
stalled and stopped. Il passing jit-
ney schooner was hailed and quickly
overhauled the pirate-bearing craft.
Watson was brought back to Ash
land. At this time the saddle charge
was thought to be the only one
against him, but the others began to
bob up, and finally assumed such pro-
portions that Mr.. Watson was finally
bound over to the next court session
and given transportation to Jackson
Vile.

Medf0rd Pioneer
Killed BY Train

David Henry Miller, the first white
man to live on the site of what is
now the city of Medford, was struck
and killed by train No. 13 near Gold
Hill at 8 o'clock Saturday morning.
To bolster up failing health Mr..
Miller has been in the habit of each
morning taking long walk down
the railroad tracks. Saturday he was
returning as usual from his jaunt,
thinking, with head bent, as is his
usual habit.
He has been, for several years,
hard of hearing, and his first intima-
tion of the coming train came when
1t was only a few feet away. He
jumped, but the engine caught him,
dragging him 100 feet before the
train could be stopped. The back Of
his skull was fractured and his neck
dislocatcd, either Of the injuries be-
ing sufficient to cause instant death.
In addition his right arm was brok-
en-.
The accident occurred about 800
feet west of the railroad crossing at
Gold Hill.
He leave sonly his wife, having no
children.
Mr.. Miller first arrived in Medford,
to make his residence, November 28,
1888, at which time he assisted in
laying out the townsite. In 1886 he
assisted in the incorporation of the
town of Medford.
He has filled many offices in the
county and the city of Medford, and
represented this county in the state
legislature in 1909.
