In Washington and Oregon. as IN California,

proposes to get ia 1u the new development era if
we propose 20 de- our share in caring for returned

Lige Head, the Teamster.

Many good people will recall having
seen an odd character recently hera
in the person of Elijah Head, while
Re lived in these parts. All who
knew him called him "Lige" Those
of his intimate acquaintances and
others dealing with him say he IS
possessed of most remarkable
memory and that he has some good
Qualities. Last year Lige went to
Camp Jackson and got job as
teamster. In order to hold his team
he volunteered in November. Last
Saturday-week his team was taken
away from him for scme cause. He
didn't like that and deserted, coming
here the following Monday, discarding
his uniform. Chief Rodelsperger saw
him Tuesday at the boarding house
in West End and interviewed him.
ua claimed to have his discharge pa
pers but couldn't produce them. The
chief placed him under arrest and
held him, communicating with the
camp authorities, who answered that
they had been locking for him since
the Sunday after his desertion. Lige
was taken back to Camp Jackson
Thursday. Another of his peculiari-
ties is that he doesn't spend his
money. He had saved around s40o
of his army pay, which he had with
him.

FROM ARRAS TO S0ISS0NS
TE,TONS UTTERLY DEFE tTED
Battle Line Extends Fifty Miles With
Irif;sh and French Mercilessly
Batttering Ludend0rf's Divis-
ions.

Cye. tae '50-mile battle front, from
the region of Arras to the north OF
Scissors, the German armies are
meeting with defeats which appar-
emily spell disaster. Everywhere the
British and French forces have coz
tinrhd the attack, the enemy has
been sanguinarily worsted, and the end
of his trials is not yet in sight.
To the British over the thirty miles
of the fighting zone. from the Cojeul
river, southeast of Arras to Lihons,
south of the Somme, numerous towns
have fallen and the enemy territory
has been penetrated to a depth Of
several miles. Where the French are
fighting between the Matz river and
the territory north of scissors, addi-
tional goodly gains have been made
in the development of Noyon and the
general manoeuvre which seeks to
crush or drive out the Germans from
the salient beween the Somme and
the Athletic and to put into jeopardy
the entire German line running to
Rheims.
notwithstanding the fact that the
Germans brought up large numbers
of fresh reinforcements in an en-
deavor to stay the progress of iHaig's
armies, their efforts were without
avail. Where they were able mo-
mentarily to hold back their oncom-
ing foes the Germans finally were
forced to cede the ground demanded.
And they paid terrible price in amen
killed, wounded or made prisoners for
their temerity.

dentally killed here this afternoon,
when he was examining a gun pre-
paratory to going dove hunting.
Mr.. Sawyer was in his room when
the fatal accident occurred. Mr.
Sawyer was at 1929 Senate street, the
residence Of Mrs:. L. B. McGregor,
where he had lived for the past twenty
years.
He left his office about 2:30 o'clock
this afternoon. He told Mr.. Jackson,
bookkeeper in his office at that time,
that he was going home to clean his
gun for the hunt that he and Mr..
Jackson had arranged for tomorrow
Mr.. Jackson was to come around to
his room some time about 3 O'Clock
his afternoon to help clean up the
automobile for the trip and to accom-
pany him The hunting trip had been
planned since yesterday. MIR. Jackson
was to go to the room to get matters
fixed up MIR. Switzerland, Of the Of
fice. had also been included in the
hunting party
At 2:45 this afternoon a telephone
message came from Mr.. Whitaker,

dentally shot himself. Mr.. Jackson
Immediately went to the scene and
found that Mr.. Sawyer was dead,
having been shot through. the throat
from the front.
Mr.. Jackson says that Mr.. sawyer
was lying flat back from the dresser,

materials which he was using at that
time in getting ready for the hunt

by his side, and parallel with the BODY

he went to the Sam Poe mills. IL
the mill village he witnessed on Fri

persons. Mr. Dorroh says the spider
IN weaving it's web had woven TWO
words in distinct letters, plainly to
be read. In the upper part of the
web was the word November, De-
meath which came America MIR.
Dorroh vouches for the accuracy OF
this mystic sign and if his word need
ed anv corroboration in this particular
il can he substantiated by others. J:
is myserious and many people will
say the spiders message means tnat
America will win the war in Novem-

thing in connection with this suDJect
is the fact that the spiders in other
ra-ts of the country have lately beer
