Ebert TrOODS Repulsed,

Berlin, Wednesday, Jan. 8, 11Ga.>'m
The heavy fighting continued
throughout last night at various
points in Berlin. The civil warfare al
ready is estimated to have cost TWEEN
tys times as many lives as we're sacri-
feed in the overthrow of the Hohen-
Zollern dynasty sixty years ago..
The correspondent is informed that
the government troops have been re-
pulsed in every attempt they made to
recapture public buildings from the
Spartacans. The opposition forces
hold the reichstag building, the APP
proaches to the B~randenburg gate and
the Silesian railway station.
The conference between the govern
ment and the executive OF the indie
pendent socialists was resumed this
morning but it is >believed to be doom
ed to-failure because DR.. Liebknecht
and his followers who comprise the
great bulk of the rebels refuse ITO deal
with the "bloodhounds, Ebert and
Scheidemann."
The Taglische Rundschau SAYS:
trenched itself and Berlin today is
under the terror Of Karl iLebknecht
and Rosa. Luxembourg"
All business and industry is at q
standstill.
The Spattacan government is be-
ginning to affect other centers. In
Brunswick the red guards and indie
pendent socialists have adopted a
resolution in favor of a Spartacan up
rising and seized the newspapers. 1t
is reported that Spartacans have tax
en- over the government of Nulheim
and Oberhausen. near Essen.
The Berlin Independent socialist
organ, Die Freiheit, today throws of
the pretense of following the indie
pendent leaders like Carl Kautsky and
says: I'VE summon the revolution
workmen and the socialists Of Berlin
to demonstrate again today their
numbers and their decisions"
The newspaper calls on the revolu-
tionaries to meet in the ~Siegesalle,
where a great mass Of people already
had collected. y

Hold Man to Federal
Grand Jury On Charge
OF Tapping W. y. Wire

An echo of an alleged plot to put
the Western Union Telegraph Co.
out of business in northwest Ne
braska, was heard in federal court
yesterday when Robert Lahl, of
Crawford, Neb., charged with tap
ping Western Union wires was
bound over to the federal grand
jury on a $500 bond.
Several wires were grounded in
the vicinity of Crawford month
ago. -Four men were arrested, two
of whom were Western Union en-
ployes, and bound over to the dis
trict court, following a trial at
Chadron, Neb.
Special Officer Ready, of the
Northwestern railroad Co., testified
that Lahl had given the other
four men information regarding the
position of the Western Union wire,
which made it possible for them to
tap it.
The wires were cut a short time
before the employees of the West
ern Union struck. Officer Ready
expressed the belief that the action
of the four men was a preliminary
plot to further the pending strike.
Lahl was employed by the West
ern Union to guard the wire, ac-
cording to Officer Ready's testi-
mOny.

Keya Paha County Is
Interested in Good
Roads Plan Of State

Lincoln, July ESPECIAL. 1.-The
people of Keya Paha county ap-
pear to be more interested in good
roads or rather the location of the
roads than they do In the presi-
dency of the United States, as at a
special election held in that county
to determine the location of a State
road more votes were cast than for
president at the last election.
Three propositions were put up
to the state engineer, one for the
road from Springview to Aims
worth, the second from Springview
to Long; Pine and the third from
Springview to Bassett. All propo-
sitions appeared to be so good that
State Engineer Johnson, following
the suggestion of the road commit
tees of the last session of the legis-
lature, allowed the people to vote
on the proposition July 3. The vote
stood: Bassett, 406; Ainsworth, $40,
and Long Pine, 1863; therefore the
road will go from Springview to
Rassett.
