Jimmy Darrough, the keen eyed
Indian trailer, was on the stand in
the district court this morning as
witness for the state In the Kruger
murder case. The witness told how
he followed the tracks of Kruger
which he picked up In the canyon
about 500 feet from where the body
of McWilliams was found After the
crime was committed and the COM
munity aroused the scene was Wis
tied by many tOwnspeople whose
foot prints obliterated the original
ltrail leading from the side of the
murdered man. The recovery of the
tracks and how they were followed
back to town furnished an interest
ing chapter that held the interest of
the court attendants. The Indian
went on to relate that in following
the backward trail he ran into a
cross trail going in the opposite di-
ERECTION, which he also traced to the
end. Part of the distance was COW
cred by man wearing rubber shoes
which were discarded on completing
half the distance to town. Later the

Chester Perrine and Tex Garden
also gave testimony for the prosecu-
tion.
The evidence Of Johnny Darrough
is considered the strongest part of
the case as the Indian is known a.
man of almost infallible instinct in
following trail. 1t was due to his
evidence in the haystack arson case
against Pagan that the defendant
was convicted with nothing more
than the links of testimony developed
by the Indian to govern the jury.

One point where the objective was
not reached was In Balleau Wood.
The fiercest fighting occurred here.
The marines reached the outskirts
of Bouresches last night and poured
volleys of machine gun fire into the

They also used bayonets against the

Early reports indicated that the

There seemed reason to expect
German counter attacks in strength,
for previous to the beginning OF the
afternoon attack at 5 o'clock, the
roads behind the German lines were
choked with troops. guns and wa.

havoc among them.
The marines took strong ground
on either side Of Balleau Wood and
cleared a ravine south of Torcy,
which linked the line with Hill 142,
which was taken this morning. This
gave a strong dominating position
for the continuation of the attack.
The total advance was approximately
two miles on a three mile front

not acceptable to the local office and
It is believed the time will be chang.
ed by the department so that the
mail will leave the southern camp at
30 in the afternoon. The argument
in favor of the change is that no
good is accomplished by waiting un-
IN the close Of business hours as the
stage does not connect with the
southern trains and il would be just
as suitable to make the hour of de-
parture earlier. The late arrival
would also lengthen the hours of the
clerks at this end.
The proposals call for round trip
daily service on four-year con
tract and It is believed the earlier
hour would be more acceptable dur
ing the winter months.
Under the present arrangement
the train arrives from the north at
a. M. and the only mail for Gold
field has to be in the office not later
than $3.50 in the morning. The pro
posed contract would not interfere
with the through mails and would
apply only to the service between
