Fred Mayhem has fled with the
county auditor petition containing
fifty names that he be made an in
dependent candidate for sheriff on
The official ballot Of the November
election, as was forecast In The Gate
City week ago.
This makes him candidate out
side both political parties, and little
interest is taken in IL by either poll
ticians or people The only other
candidate for sheriff IS John c. Scott,
present sheriff and chairman of the

most his whole time to the war work

early today were broken up by Amer
lean counter attacks.
The Yanks met the 8oches midway
between the two lines, welding the
bayonet and tearing the enemy waves
to shreds.
The German attack had been pre-
coded by heavy barrage, but the
American artillery siIenced the enemy
guns, leaving their infantry without
protection.
Later the American infantry went
forward and began clearing out ma
chine gun nests In the regions OF
Romasne, Cunei and Sommeraine.
