The boys aunt, Mrs. Annie
O'Neill. with whom he lives. swore
to q warrant for the electrician and
yesterday took the witness stand
in Bernari'a behalf. before Judge
Gus A. Schuldt.
Bernard's inability to hear or
talk was the chief contributing
factor to the trouble between him
self and Guthrie, the hearing de.
veloped.
Warnings Ignored
The defendant, while installing
wires in q vacant house across the
street from the boys home, had
had difficulty with many small
boys in the neighborhood and had
warned them to stop bothering him
while he worked.
Bernard came in and despite
many verbal warnings. remained IN
the room where the work was
going on, said Guthrie. He said
the boy threatened him with a
plank when he made q motion as
IL to throw the coil at him.
Guthrie said he learned for the
first time OF the boys affliction
when his aunt came across the
street and denounced him, charging
he had browbeaten Bernard. He
said he had considered it strange
that the boy spoke no word before,
in marked contrast to the other
youngsters who had not hesitated to
give him suggestions about how to
do his work better.
$40 For Temper
Judge Schuldt said he considered
the affair natural enough mis-
understanding"
'I will give you a light fine he
told Guthrie, ''as q lesson to keep
your temper" He ordered him to

RAIDS
by ALFRED MEYER


SHANGHAI, Sept. II u.NsJ-
Considerable mystery surrounds the
attitude Of the Chinese government
toward the reported Soviet offensive
along the Manchurian border.
While new reports filtered through
from frontier points today giving
additional details of the concerted
advance of, Russian troops into
Chinese territory, officials of the
Marking government continued to
maintain an attitude of silence.
Keep Silence
With the exception OF dispatches
broadcast by the official Kuomin
News Agency, no indication has
been given that the nationalist
government is even aware of the
bloody conflict now being waged on
the border. All government officials
are at Marking, but az yet no state.
ment has come from that city.
1t had been anticipated that
Marking would make sharp reply
to the accusation OF Soviet Russia
that the present advance was pre-,
cipitated by sporadic attacks by
Chinese soldiers upon Russian towns
along the border. "a
Latest reports from the front
state that the civil population Of
Pogranichnaya, the border town
which has borne the brunt of tine
fighting thus far, has been ordered
to evacuate. Train service has been
resumed, aiding considerably in the
evacuation.
Casualties Heavy
No check-up has as yet been PCS,
sible of the casualties, but they are
reported to be heavy. The Soviet.
troops are reported to have the adj
vantage because of a large fleet OF
airplanes, which have successfully
bombed Pogranichnaya, Tung-Kiang,
Mulin and other border towns.
According to official adyices, more
than sixty Chinese were killed in
the first assault upon Pogranich-
maya. Twenty of these are reported
to have been victims of bombs
hurled from airplanes.
The Sungari river has been mined
by Chinese troops to ward off an
attack from that source. The
Nationalist troops are reported to be
holding their positions by means Of
heavy machine. gun and trench NOR
