Miss Pascoe had voiced more than
passing whim when she had said that
she wanted to stop again at the
Bungalow.
Miss Pascoe, urged by what i'm
pulse can now never be known, leap
ed suddenly from the machine. 1t was
going at a good speed. When the
car had been brought to a stop, Mr..
Keller went back and picked the girl
up. He says that she showed a
wound on her forehead which was
bleeding slightly, and that she
seemed dazed.
He asked her what she did it for,
and she replied, IT don't know
Thinking that she was only
slightly hurt and would soon be all
right. again, and wishing to avoid
publicity for her sake more than his
own, Mr.. Keller did not take the in
jured girl up town at once to the
hospital, nor did he take her into
any of the roadhouses, where he
thought notoriety would be brought
upon them, possibly by reason of the
unusual circumstances attending the
accident. He drove across, instead,
to the place on South Montana not
far below the Timber Butte mill,
which used to be known as Morris
Roses place. Mr.. Keller says that
he had been we'll acquainted with
the proprietor and expected to be
able to get the girl treated properly
without mourning the risk of en-
barrassing her and her family by
letting the affair become public.
After considerable attention had
been given Miss Pascoe at this place,
her condition seemed to be growing
worse After vain attempts to get
several different doctors over the
phone, and thinking that the girl
might be injured by the trip UP
town, Mr.. Keller then drove up to
Murrays hospital and tried to get a
doctor, and finding none there, he
went to the police station to get
both an officer and doctor.
He could get neither the one Oh
the other at the police station. He
thinks he drove back to Morris
Roses place to see if Miss Pascoe
had been getting worse or better. He
picked up a policeman on the way
and took him along.

Serb Battalion Fought
From 1914 to Present

MEDVEJIA CORA, Russian Lapland,
July 5.-(Mail Correspondence of The
Associated Press. "A Serbian battal-
ion which has been fighting under one
flag, or another since August, 1914, still
is fighting, up here in Karelian, Rus
STA.
The role of these Serbs on the North
Russian front has been similar to that
of the Czecho-Slovaks in Siberia and
reads like an unfinished Had. They
are big, strapping, we'll disciplined SOL
diers, five years and several thousand
miles from home, and, just now, when
they go in action against the Boil
sheviki, along with their Russian, Brit
ish, French or until recently, American
Allies, they display the same dash and
battle enthusiasm that characterized
the Serbs in the early days of the
war.
One way or another, these Serbians
reached Odessa, where they were
formed into a battalion for service
against the Central Powers. They want
to get somewhere to fight Austria so
they started for Archangel, hoping
eventually to join the Allies in France.
The Serbs seized a locomotive and
sufficient box cars to carry the battal-
ion and after four months Journey ar
rived at Murmansk
i The Allies landing at Murmansk in
the spring of 1918 found the Serbian
battalion there, ready to fight against
the Bolsheviki, and for the first few
months Of the campaign, the Serbs
formed the backbone of the force op.
posing the Reds, which speedily wrest-
ed several hundred miles of the Muir
mansk railway from the Communists
Throughout the subsequent fighting
on this front Serbs have distinguished
themselves, and now they are await
ing the day when they can return to
the new greater Serbia which includes
Bosnia and other territories where
they lived when impressed into the
Austrian army.

9th and Main Fountain

Who knows the most popular drink
ing place in Richmond? Are the drug
store soda fountains the most popu-
lar. or the fountains in the cigar
stores, or are the saloons the most
popular GASES?
By actual count, more people stop
to drink from the fountain at Ninth
and Main streets, than any other
place in the city. Business men, lab
oring men, rich men, poor men, beg.
gar men and profiteers, all stop to
take a drink. At one time Tuesday
morning there were men, women
and children, all awaiting their turn
to drink from this fountain.
Horses also use the fountain, and
dogs stand up on their hind legs and
drink their fill. The pigeons which
make their homes in the buildings
near the fountain, use it for their
needs, and the English sparrow de
lights in it.
