He drew one OF the big guns with
his left hand when he shot at Bal

the other night he told the crowd
he was a little man, "but here is the
difference" he said, pulling the two
big guns around in front. that all

came to the sheriff Saturday that
Highnote had held a man up on
the street, cutting down on him
with a gun and telling him if he
moved a hand he would blow his
head off He was said to have held
up another man that day in the
same manner.
Highnote was about 90 years Of

Brownwood (Texas) Oil Field
Notes.

Brownwood Daily Bulletin: A
deal involving the purchase of l29
acres OF land, owned by the w. c.
Parks estate, is in its final stages,
1t is learned today, and will be
closed within a short while, carry
ing a consideration OF approximate
ly 10000. The land in question is
in the southern portion OF the city,
lying east OF the south end of Vim
cent street and west OF the Santa
Fe railroad
The principals in the deal are not
announced, but it is generally be
lieved that they are the Prairie Oil
and Gas Company, one of the big
gest concerns in the mid-continent
field. Agents who are believed to
represent this company in the trans
action have stated that the land is
being purchased as a site for a big
refinery plant, which will be con-
nected by pipe line with the Ran
ger and Coleman County wells.
1t is known almost certainly that
the Prairie Company has made a
survey for pipe line in this coun-
try, having negotiated for rights Of
way for the line following a survey
made some time ago. The deduc-
tion is that this pipe line will con-
meet the new refinery plant here

ward, for otherwise the artiller,
would be out-diStanced and every
thing would depend upon the infan
try.
1t was because OF this situation
that attacks were made last Friday
by the Germans. Four more or les
fresh divisions were brought up 10
this operation and a huge numbe
of guns were brought into play
especially over the back areas. Con
siderable quantities OF gas also wer
thrown into the vicinity OF Fonque-
villers, indicating that the German
did not intend to try TO advance to
a great depth, since gas hangs abou
for long time.
The enemy simply was trying
get a hold on the dominating ridges
They failed to advance at mos
points about the salient, and evei
lost considerable stretch of grount
in a counter attack by the British
between Hebuterne and Rossigno
wood, where the British pushed for
ward some l,500 yards. AT Bucquoy
the Germans had some success anC
got 4 footing in some places, bu
their attack as a whole was a big
failure. The enemy casualties wer
very heavy because of the dominat
ing positions held by British ma
chine gunners and riflemen.
Many German Dead.
RoSsignol wood was found filleC
with German dead and the low lynn
ground in front Of the ridges tolc
an awful story. 1t seems certain til
Germans will try again to captur
the heights, for they cannot 81
where they are.
The British counter attack yester
day at Aveluy wood, south OF Mes
nil, was an entire success and tn
old positions were regained. Th
men who went through this figh
declare that the Germans lost thre
killed to one for the British. 1t wa
a desperate fight. The British
stormed the wood after battling for
ward with machine guns and rifle
and then continued the battle will
hand grenades and bombs. The Ger
mans clung tenaciously to their po
sitions, but were gradually forcet
to fall back, leaving many dead.
Enemy Loses Many Officers.
Prisoners captured by the British
when Ayette was taken Wednesday
say that the casualties among the
German officers and non-commis-
stoned officers have been very heavy
since the beginning of the offensive
The situation is SO bad regarding
non-commissioned officers that the
higher command has been sending
back into the line those previously
bombed out because OF age oI
wounds.
A German airman just taken pris
oner has proved most interesting
lie was formerly a schoolmaster
He said that the British had NOR,
and better airplanes than the Ger
mans, and this accounts for the fac
} that the British ayiators did ia
more work over the enemy line
than the Germans did. He said tn
