This tlmo It was a family quarro and tho substance Is llko this: Mrs. Augusta Lunkwitz was on a load of oats driving , along when Karl Lunkwitz and his wlfo drove mp along sldo in tholr car. Karl got out f tho car with an iron bar In his hand, mounted tho load of oats and struck at Augusta twice but failed to hit hor. Augusta whipped up tho horses and tho suddon lurch threw Karl off tho load. Ida In tho car, sde lng that her husband had not annihil ated Augusta, pulled out a revolver and shot twlco at Augusta, one shot making a flesh wound on ono of tho horsos. Thon Augusta filed a complaint against Karl and Ida, and at tho trial Wednesday tho former was flnod $100 and costs, from which vor- diet ho appealed, and Ida was bound ovor to tho district court in tho sum of 5500. So endeth tho first chapter. ::o:: Hcrshcy Times Items About $1,500 worth of hay has been burnod within three or four mV'es west -of Ilorshoy In tho past ten days by .passing locomotives. It seems some1 precautionary methods would bo adopted by tho railroad company at this soason of tho year to prevent so! many of theso fires. This feed is high I priced and a necessity and "sending! it up In smoko" is llttfia less than aj crime. I Horace Hungorford and wlfo arrived! Tuesday from their cT.aim in Wyoming. Horace was called to the colors and left last evening to report at Ncwcas tlo, Wyo. The wife will remain with his paronts. This Is tho second son of Homer Hungbrford's that is now In! tho service. Roy is with tho Fifth at' Deming, and Cyrus, a third son, may' bo called at any time. At this par ticular Beason of the year losing tho boys makes It rather Inconvenient for the parents as they have nearly GOO tons of beets to. hflryest. and holp.. Is, vory hard tOyget!, yet tho father Is en dowed wltii that true-blue spirit of patriotism that. thrVls a real Ameri can's .heart and undoubtedly will -find some way to care for his large crop. -::o: Try Dr. Smith, tho Chiropractor. 50tf KEITH THEATRE Saturday Night, Oct. 6.

Thousands of pris onors.havo been taken by tho British In tho now drlvo against tho Germans which was begun this, mprnlng oast of Ypros In Flanders. All tho objectives of tho British wore won, Including positions characterized by Flold Mar shal Hnlg's report from headquarters t)oqght a "tif giiit tmrfartianca" British Front In Franco and Bel gium, Oct 4. Field Marshrtl Haig's forces in tho offenslvo began to the oast of Ypros this morning In boiho placos havo ponctratcd tho German linos to the dopth of ono mile and havo ovorrrun the crest of tho Pass-chondaolo-Gholuvelt ridge. At an oarly hour tho Germans wero surrendering by hundreds. In tholr offenslvo In tho Ypros sec tor today tho British gained all their objectives on a front of 10,000 yards and to a depth of 2,500 yards. General Frederick B. Maurice, chief director of military operations at tho war of fice announced today. Tho ronowal of tho' Flandors drive comes after an eight-day lntorval. On Wednesday of last woek tho British swept forward over ground on both sides of tho Ypres-Monln road, ad vancing from a half mllo to a mile at various points afong the Inc. Some of the hoavlcst fighting In tho war on tho western front followed, tho Germans making assault after as sault In desperate attempts to regain tho valuable high ground they had lost. Almost ovory Inch of It, how over, was held Intact by tho British, who mcanwhllo wore preparing for tho next forward push. With today's renewal of tho drlvo tho battf o of Flandors Is growing more and moro to resombt-'o last year's bat tfo of tho Sommo, which was follow ed by tho memorable Illndonburg "strategic retreat" Tho same gen oral tactics now being pursued of per sistent driving at the same point In tho lino are evidently expected by the British to achieve a Blmllar result. This time, however, the: ground which woid havo to bo abandoned would bo far moro valuable to tho entente and loss a- correspondingly heavy blow to tho Germans, for the Gorman-hold Belgian coast lino, with It's submarine andaorlal bases, is at stake, together with tho great French manufacturing city of Lille and wido stretches of ter ritory in northern France and Kand ors.
