Tel. No. 4 (2 phones) 3 Delivery Wagons Over the City
Washington, Pec. 10. Thirty-six
hours after Austria's pita for further
discussion of the sinking of the An
cona huti reached Washington, the
govei nment had its answer ready, de
manding Miompt response and action.
The note i.s one that will afford Aus
tria little hope of prolonged parlcvir.g.
The fact that it was scheduled for
tonight, almost at the hour of Presi
dent Wilson's wedding, was taken a ;
evidence that the tate department
still insists, as in the first string
message, that the matter le prompt
ly" cleared up.
A high official tonight admitted that
desire on the part of the president to
get this second note on its way to
Vienna before he leaves Washington
cn his wedding trip, may have had
some weight in the almost unprece
dentedly rapid drafting and scheduled
departure of the reply. This official
explained, however, that there would
have been little delay even under other
conditions.
No Need cf Deliberation.
"There was no rea.-on." said this of
ficial, who had a hand today in draft
ing the note, "for long deliberation
over Austria's reply. The A mora mat
ter is clear cut. This government's
demands were based on facts present
ed by the Austrian almiislty. This
government already has expressed to
the woild its attitude toward the de
struction of passenger ships tnd wan
ton killing of the passengers. To the
Vienna government it was made plain
that only indisputable evidence refut
ing the Austrian admiralty's own
statement would be accepted as a
ground for further discussion.
"This irovernmer.t still holds that
view. The fact that the Austrian gov
ernment, made public by the state ('e-
! partrr.ent today, suggests that the
(American government . precisely speci
i f y actual circumstances upon which it
bases its case, may be a hint that
Austria has unearthed further facts.
If it has, I think it is not wide of the
mark to infer that such facts will be
du-cussed.
This official frankly admitted there
was significance in the fact that when
the state department gave out its of
ficial text of the Austrian note, it gave
out also the Austrian ad:r.iralt 's ver
sion of the Ancona sinking. It was on
this admiralty statement that the or
iginal American demands were based.
President Reviews It.
Until nearly midnight tonight, Sec
retary Lansing. Counsellor Polk and
Solicitor Woolsev worked on the final
! draft of the note which had been sent
to the secretary's home from the
White house by special messenger. It
became apparent that the cabling to
Vienna would be a Sunday task, up
setting the schedule to that extent.
They had spent two hours late this
afternoon whipping the note into shape
for its last persual by President Wil
son. Just before the state depart
ment officials left their offices this
draft was sent to the White house.
There President Wilson went over it,
making insertions and suggesting de
pletions. lie considered the work of
such importance that it was less than
an hour before he went to his wedding
before he was satisfied with the note.
The final draft containing the views
of the president gives Austria the in
formation which she asked in the note
published today. This was done at
the president's insislance, in order to
privide the most graceful manner for
Austria to accede to the demand for
reparation and for punishment of the
submarine commander.
Mrs. Wilson Walter Moore and lit
tle son are here from Schuyler for an

From South Bend : A petition from
a majority of the citizens of Plattford
precinct to the Sarpy county commis
sioners to grant a special election to
vote on bonds of .",000 for the purpose
of bridging the Platte at this point has
been sent in. A gentleman from Oma
ha agrees to build the bridge, furnish
material, etc., for $5,000. From relia
ble sources we learn the farmers on
the other side are determined to have
a bridge at all hazards, and to have a
market where they can bring their
produce and get value received in re
turn. Should this undertaking prove
successful we predict for South Bend
great wonders.

Some parties stole a couple of coats
form Herold's Tuesday. An attempt
was made to arrest them, but they got

Judge Gregory, editor of the C. C.
C. and another red-headed fellow were
carrying a stove out from the Saun
ders house kitchen. The ice was slick,
their boots were slicker, and they

but afterwards, or would if the stove
had let 'em.
Messrs. Mabie & Davendorf have
started a new industry in our place;
viz., rebarbing old fence wire and also
the making of new wire and iron fence
posts if needed. The manufactory
will be for the present on 6th street,
near Donnelly's blasksmith shop. We
believe this to be a useful enterprise
and advise all our farmers to give
them a call and see what they have
to offer.
From a Glenwood Opinion Extra,
kindly sent us by that paper we glean
the particulars of the tragedy which
took place near there on Friday last.
Theodore and Mary Bushup, husband
and wife, living four miles north of
Pacific City, had not found married
life all happiness, and finally agreed to
separate, which they did on New
Years' day, dividing their property.
On the 10th the husband again made
his appearance, and deliberately draw
ing a revolver shot his wife twice; one
shot passing through the shoulder and
the other striking in the neck, near the
main artery. Passing into the pard
he met his wife's father, whom he also
shot twice, in the arm and the left
side. He then fled, stopping to tell a
wood choper near by what he had
done, and cutting his boots from his
feet a little further on. Shortly after
ward his horse came back riderless.
Immediate pusuit was made and he
was captured on Saturday. Finding
that his pursuers were upon hitn heat
empted to cut his throat with a jack-
knife, but only succeeded in severing
the wind pipe about one-third, which
gash the doctors sewed up on his ar
rival at Glenwood. The usual plea of
insanity was brought up, but the
Opinion seems to think it premeditated.
