SHARPSHOOTER FIRED
BUT HIT NOBODY
1t Was Finally Found That Soldier
Perched High Over a Mountain Pass
Was an Italian in Sympathy Al
though Wearing Austrian Uniform
and He Would Kill, Though He
Kept on Firing.

Headquarters Italian Army, May 2
Correspondence of the Associated Press
There is narrow pass on the noun

short time ago. 1t is rocky defile with
cliffs raising sheer a thousand feet on
either side Through this narrow pas.
sage il was necessary for the men to &c
every day in handling supplies. But as
they passed they were picked off one by
one by an Austrian sharpshooter in a
cavern near the top of the cliffs. Here
he had been lowered from the enemy
lines along one side of the cliff, and here
food was lowered and the deadly fusil-
lade kept up day after day.
| 1t was recently observed, however, that
a strange change came over the opera
| tions from the cliff The shots rang out
as usual whenever an Italian soldier
went through the pass. But, singularly,
no man ever fell; the shots always went
wide of the mark; the cunning of the
sharpshooter appeared to be at an end
This continued for days, with the Ital-
ians going back and forth safely, and
the aimless and idle shots ringing out
from the enemy post in the cliff.
The Italians finally made a dash to
clear out the place, their batteries pour
ing shots into the cavern while scaling

lead of the climbing party was Lieuten-
ant Guglielminetti, and as he rushed into
the cave a singular sight was before him
Stretched on the ground was an Austrian
soldier dying from an Italian bullet
wound But though an Austrian soldier
in the gray green uniform of Austria, the |
wounded man raised himself on his ell |
bow, drew a tiny Italian flag from under
his coat, and in faint voice exclaimed: |
"Viye l1talia."
The dying man had only time to- whis-
per his story. He was Giorgio Avanzini,
nephew Of the Socialist Deputy Avanzini,
the city Of Trent in the
Austrian Parliament. Like all the peo-
pie of Trent and the Trentino, he was
an Italian by instinct though forced by
the political situation of Trent under
Austria to enter the Austrian army. As
such he found himself in the Austrian
lines at the top of the cliff, and he had
been detailed for the dangerous task of
being lowered to the cavern to pick off
italian soldiers as they passed Being
Inder observation he kept his rifle going
he shots rang out regularly, but AVIAN

the farmers of the country.
Still another effort to increase the -four
output during this crisis is being made
by urging farmers not to hold over any
of their crop for seed Even if we have
only normal crop there is little fear
that any risk would be run In not hold
ing over seed for next years sowing.
During the next three months every
bushel of grain that can be recovered
may play a leading role in the drama of

ROLLER FLOUR MILL
IN RANDOLPH
Old Sanford Mill to Install All the Nee.
cssary Cleaning, Grinding and Pack
ing Machinery.

The White river as il passes through
the beautiful village of Randolph is again
TO use its energies 10 grind wheat for
the surrounding farmers. This is history
repeating itself, as perhaps rs or 30 years
ago the farmers all raised their own
wheat Tor home needs and at many times
had quantity TO sell. Then western
wheat became cheap and the western
| miller with roller mills caused the east
ern farmers TO stop producing wheat,
which in turn silenced the grind of the
old stone mills in the east, resulting in
the old mills going TO decay. The old
stones from these are often found living
on the ground, fast becoming covered
with moss, the only marker that near
there once stood the old mill, where in
pioneer days our ancestors used to as
semble on horseback with bag across
the horses back with wheat or corn in
one end and stone in the other. IL
was boy that conceived the idea that
he would not have TO use the stone IL he
divided the grist in the bag, letting one
half hang over each side OF the horse;
much to the disturbance of The super
stftious mind of his father.
y. n. Morse Il Sons, who own and run |
the old Sanford mill in Randolph, have |
recently purchased, TO be installed this
summer. all the necessary cleaning,
grinding and packing machinery for a
modern Monarch ball bearing, electric
driven -four mill, with which they will
be in position to grind the wheat into
first class -four for the farmers in Orange
county and surrounding territory. This
industry means much 10 the farmers. as
a good roller -four mill cannot help but
to increase the valuation of surrounding
agricultural lands.
A milling firm that will make an in
of machinery at the cost of
approximately $1,000 to accommodate its
patrons is highly worthy and well de
serves the hearty support of its custom
RS; in fact, the customers ought to feel
under obligations to continue
aising wheat, regardless of price, that
uch mill may be maintained.
The town of Randolph might well con
Tatulate herself, being one of the first
n the state to possess an industry of
his kind.
