GERMAN STATE
PAPERSSTOLEN
Documents Dealing With
War Taken From
Courier.
Cwashington HernId-Pubiic Ledger
Service. Special Cable DispatcbD

Berlin, Aug. "a most amazing
theft of important state documents
from a diplomatic courier is trou-
bling the German foreign office to-
night and a frantic hunt for the
daring thieves has been organized.
The documents arc supposed to deal
with the Ponsa war and are con-
sidered of the utmost secret nature
They were being transported by
courier from Paris, and were in
four parcels. He gave two to a
Legitimate official, who was sup
posed to accept the other two after
wards. Meanwhile an unknown
man, presenting a forged receipt.
took the parcels and vanished. All
investigation so far has proven
fruitless.
The robbery is considered most
extraordinary in view of the pre-
cautions usually taken by the Ger
man foreign office.

a Kentucky feud that was i'm.

The feud began in the Cumber-

well and the Hardness families.
The first victim of the homespun
vendetta was a 'possum dog be-

Harkness family evened up this
ulre loss by laying out the chief
OF the FolwelI clan. The Fo,-
wells were pfompt at repartee.
