FRENCH ATRMEN
 DOWN THIRTEEN

Paris, March 14-French aviators have accounted for 13 enemy ma- chimes, according to a statement from the war office, which also re- ports a successful Belgian forward movement near Lombaertsyde.
 Regarding the operations in the east the statement says that on March 12 French troops made several successful raids north of Ljumnica. Near Gradeschnitza Serbian troops brought back several Bulgarian pris- oners in a raid. Entente aviators carried out several raids and bom- barded the enemy establishments near Rupel and north of Monastir.

DAVE sULL1vAN's LAST BATTLE.

Kid Herman defeated Dave Sulli- van in nine rounds at Hot Springs, Ark, on March 13 1905, 13 years ago today. This was the last battle of the ring career of Sullivan, who, for about six weeks in 1898, held the featherweight championship. Sulli- vans rise and fall was about the quickest on record. On Sept. 26r 1898, the little Eisnman annexed the title by whipping Solly Smith. On the 11th of the following November Sulli" van fought George Dixon and the Chocolate Drop recovered the hon ors he had lost to Solly about year before Dave was a sort of accidental champion, as it is doubtful if he would have defeated Smith had not the latter broke his arm: Dave was a native of Cork, and he had been defeated by Pedlar Palmer before he became champion. After his defeat by Kid Herman he retired from the game.

Frozen to Death
Third floor.

Effort is being made to learn the identity of a man whose stifffy frozen body was found Thursday in barn on the farm of A. B. Brush, in New Fairfield. The farm is untenanted during the winter and the body evil dently had been in the barn several weeks.
