Holt man and Joseph Hochfeld. both cf I'ortland. Tho case against Coukley and Har rls has ben of unusual Interest loc ally. The men were arrested In a prohibition raid on the hotel last month. At first they were expected to plead guilty, and throw themselves el the mercy of the court. They en. fered a plea of not guilty, however, and prepared to fight the case. At the InBt moment they changed their plea to guilty. Judge Campbell evidently was not In a lenient mood. He fined them $:!00 each, hut finally allowed them to pay the fine by Installments, $100 down, and $3 a week until the whole sum was paid. This arrangement was satisfactory to the prosecutor, Dis trict Attorney Hedges and Deputy District Attorney rturke. Harris had a quarrel with Miss Iva Harrington, county clery, a few minu tes later. Tho row started. Miss Har rington says, with Harris' offer to pay the whole of his fine with whiskey, Tho clerk declined to accept the con. trahand payment, and ordered him to be more respectful. Then, she savg he became abusive and would not leave until she threatened to call Sheriff Wilson nnd have him arrested for disorderly conduct. Neither of the men had paid his fine nt a late hour Wednesday. LONDON, April II.

British troops yesterday advanced north of the village of Louveral in the direction of Cambrai to the extent of a quarter or a mile along a rront or zUUU yards and consolidated this gain during the night, telegraphs Reuters correspondent from the British army headquarters in France. The message of the correspondent reads: "North of the village of Louveral we pushed forward toward Cambrai to the extent of a quarter of a mile along a front of 2000 yards and consolidated this gain during the night. "Northward our patrols are advancing to the belt of forest which runs along the whole of the steep eastern slope of Vimy ridge. "The splendid success of our offensive has created a most interesting situation and one which is fraught with tremend ous possibilities. The enemy has been forced back upon the pivot of his previous retreat in a manner which creates a dangerously sharp salient at this spot. "Indeed, a glance at the map suggests that there is a distinct outflanking of the German northern pivot as it existed before the present fighting." WAR HITS INSURANCE .sew York, April 10.
