answer the telephone calls for his
sons who are in the, baggage

booth near the Frisco depot here.
Mr.. Park was busy, but not too
busy. despite his seventy-eight
years, to notice a spry old gentle
man who walked up End down the
station platform, watching him.
After this had continued for some
time he approached the stranger
and said:
DO you mind telling me where
you came from?"
Not in the least-I am from
Missouri" said the stranger, with
a smile.
After a little more conversation
it developed they were brothers
who had not seen each other since
they parted forty-nine years ago.
No word had passed between d.
F. Park and his brother Samuel,
now eighty. since they left Craw-

WHITE MAN CHOKES
AND SLASHES GIRL

FREDERICK, Nd. Aug. 12.-Miss
Mary Herdorff, twenty-five years old,
of Martinsburg, w. Va, was brutally
assaulted here in a thicket, where she
had gone to gather blackberries, a
short distance from the home of her
sister, near Rocky Ridge. She was
choked into insensibility, cut across
the breast with a knife and suffered
other injuries by an assailant. who
escaped. Sheriff Charles H. Klipp,
after searching all night, arrested a
suspect, but for want of evidence he
was released.
The young woman was on a visit to
her sister, Mrs. Frank Welty, who re-
sides between Rocky Ridge and En-
mitsburg. In company with a little
girl she. entered the thicket, but the
child soon returned home. Shortly
after being left alone Miss Herdorff
was attacked by a white brute, who
seized her by the throat and choked
her. In the struggle that followed
Miss Herdorff 81 Feamed. but her cries
for help were net heard. Her outcry
brought from her assailant the threat:
I'll cut your d heart out" He
then slashed her viciously with a
knife. Miss Herdorff tainted and fell
to the ground. When she regained
consciousness she struggled to the
home of her sister and told her story.
She was placed in bed and a physician
summoned. The assault, which was
one of the most brutal that has ever
been perpetrated in this county, has
stirred the community where the at
tack occurred.

CHICAGO. Aug. 12.-Edward Schram.

band.
Passing a corner saloon. Schram
heard the sounds of a struggle within.
Just step around the corner" he
said to his wife, then you'll be out of
danger. I'll go in and settle the row."
In he went. About a minute later
there was a shot. Schram had fred to
frighten the fighters.
Right then Mrs. Schram went into
action. She dashed into the saloon and
and found FIVE men pUmmeling her
husband. His revolver lay on the
floor. She seized it, stopped the night
and held three of the men at bay until

PRESIDENT KILLED
BABIES, SAYSCRANK
FatherIesS Pamphlet BIames
Executive for Cow Exodus
From Germany.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 1c.-An un-
signed. fatherless little pamphlet.
headed "A Petition for the Impeach-
ment Of Woodrow wilson," has
reached Baltimore.
The little orphan pamphlet is chiefly
interesting because it has. no home
and no mother to guide II. 1t is one
of those things morbid folks like to
rrieye over from a safe distance. 1t
has no father, either. 1t has nothing
at all except eight pages and lot of
words. which really isn't much to get
along on these days. 1t just comes in
TO people like a bedraggled stray
kitten that has been chased away from
a half dozen back doors, meowing
with kittenish rage at the utter heart
lessness of the whole world. Nobody'll
take il in because IL probably has feas
and IL might give the children diph-
iberia. But one gets fun throwing
things at 1T and watching ii jump.
But to get down to this idea of 'the
impeachment OF woodrow wilson"
They want him impeached, all right
somebody does. They ask for it
twice in the course of six pages. They
cite twenty-one reasons, the most i'm
portant being that President Wilson
has drought dishonor on the fair
name OF the United States" which is
really enough without the other
twenty.
There are some pretty good ones,
though. in the other twenty. One
Is that he. without right and against
law, spent millions of dollars out of
the public treasury" TO publish
ssnanervrics upon himself" through
out the world.
He Is also accused of "Rn utter per-
version in the use OF language" and
of committing "meretriciouF rhetoric"
which. most reformed after-Ginner and
political speakers will agree, IL an
offense that ought to be punished by
burning. hanging or boiling in oil,
according to the criminals choice.
Also this little orphan pamphlet
seriously charges him with deliber-
ately taking the lives of German
babies b yinsisting that the Germans
surrender to the allies 10000 milch
COWS to replace the cows the Ger
mans killed and stole in France and
Belgium.
Possibly the clue to the parenthood
Of the little pamphlet is right there
in the COW paragraph. Maybe some
angry Wilhelmstrasse dairyman has
done this thing. 1t is apparent that
the dignified exodus from Germany OF
20. 600 mich cows would start some
thing in the milk industry. in Ger
many. But. what an elegant thing it
would be for the 10000 cows!
Somebody ought to watch that Will
helmstrasse dairyman. II he can just
be caught polishing up his old plug
hat and planning cabinet dinners, the
little orphan pamphlets daddy will
have been found.

ELECTRIC CIRCUITS
Outside interference caused trougle

Outside interference caused trou1Ie
on telegraph and telephone lines
using earth return circuits through
out the United States yesterday and
today. Many messages were delayed
and operators grew frantic as the
keys refused TO work at times while
their receiver saunders clicked out
meaningless messages.
The trouble was all caused by MIs5
Aurora Borealis, % the North, who
came South and began monkeying
with all the telegraph lines she could
hnd. Chief Operator Thompson, of
the Postal Telegraph Company, stated
that the magnetic disturbances which
prevailed in Washington yesterday
we're the most serious which had oc-
Cured in many years.
Duplex and quadruplex circuits,
usually carrying two to four mes
aaEes simultaneously, were reduced

rendered entirely useless.
The electric disturbances yesterday
reached such high amperage that IL
the current had not been cratic the

Sinking Of Last U-Boat
Was Royal Battle For
'Twoand One-HaIf Hours

largest and best equipped I had yet
encountered.
by this time my gun crew was in
readiness, and every man on the ship
was prepared to make a stand. IL
was either the submarine or the
Baron Napier for it, and with all the
British pluck we possessed we set
ourselves to face the pirate, and right
well did every man play his part.
The battle was much more thrill
ing than can describe, and lasted for
two and a half hours. the most ex-
citing hours any Of US ever expert
enced.
Luck seemed to be it'll the Baron
Napier. The ship behaved splendidIy
and my gun crew did great work. II
was a weird scene. there in mid-ocean
in the gray light of the early morning.
THE submarine fired about thirty
rounds of ammfunitiOn at ranges
varying from 5000 to 1900 yards.
Gun Striker Breaks.
after the battle had continued for
about an hour and a quarter some
trouble was experienced with the
striker of the gun on the Baron Ma
pier, the gunner being compelled to
cease firing for forty-five minutes. In
order to defend the ship we sent up
an effective smoke screen and men-
euvered behind II until the qua was
repaired.
Getting into a favorable position
we dropped the smoke screen and i'm
mediately opened fire on the U-boat
Twenty-Five minutes after the fgb:
had been renewed we landed tRo
shots in succession in the fcrepart Of
the submarine.
I'm a minute the U-boat was seen
to shiver and go under amid a volume
of yellow smoke and steam. The wirG,-
less mast of the U-boat remained well
up, with the gun on the gun platform.
OFT no sign of life was visible. Proud
indeed were we. for we had sealed the
fate of one of the largest pirates that
infested the western ocean during the
closing year OF the war"
