FIGHTIN6 MOST DESPERATE Caar s IHan to Draw on German Ap pwrnUf Worked WHI and When RiwUai Were Heady to Deliver Blow, Inferior Number of Kaiser Were Quickly Beaten Back. FETROGRAD, Oct. 22. With a Siberian army corps In pursuit, tha Oermana wera In full retreat today 10 miles west of Warsaw, the general staff officially announced. In the fllhtlnf which preceded the retirement of the Teutons, they were aald to have lost heavily. The kalaer wu reported to have taken peraonal thane of the cam paign, bavins rushed to the front when he heard hla troopa had ad vanced within seven mllea of War aw. The Rusalana were aald to have re treated before the Oermana .when the latter began their tnvaalon aa a means of leading them forward to battle ground of the cara own se lection. The Oermana advanced confidently to the vicinity of Warsaw where the Russians tamed.

PART OF FAIR PAVILION WILL BE REMOVED; HAPPY CANYON 6ETS SAD BLOW COUNCIL TAKES ACTION ON PE TITION THAT RTHK.KT MAY UK OPENER. A sad blow vu dealt to "Happy Canyon" last evening when the coun cil, acting upon a petition from El mer Searcy, ordered that part of the fair pavilion occupying Railroad street from Cottonwood to Main be removed. The order will wipe out all of that prt of the pavilion now oc cupied by the store fronta of the 'frontier town" and the room used for the "Red Dog saloon and gamb ling palace." The council had no option but to grant the petition Inasmuch as the street has never been vacated. Or iginally the pavilion was allowed to be extended across the street upon the petition of City Recorder Fits Gerald who was then secretary of the fair board. Permission to occupy the street for 40 days was granted and since then the pavilion has been al lowed to remain Intact by reason of the fact that there was no complaint registered. ' 1 Searcy owns property on the cor ner of Cottonwood and Railroad street and the fair pavilion and, In lil petition, complained that the pa vilion is unsightly, obstructs his view and passage to Main street, has caua a his property to depreciate In value and is generally a nuisance. The matter was referred to the street committee and city attorney with power to act. Notice will be nerved upon the O.-W. R. N. Co.. which controls the building, to re move It. If carried out, the order will proc i..iiv win ''llnnnv Canyon" as It now stands inasmuch as there was( scarcely room In the pavilion lor me night entertainment during the last Round-up. President Talltnan of the Commercial association and other members of the "Happy Canyon" committee did not know of the ob jection of Mr. Searcy and the action of the council came db a very unpleas iint surprise to them this morning. Inasmuch s "Happy- Canyon" fills a need for night entertainment during the Round-up and proved nui'h, a popular institution last month, the idea of abandoning It Is not at all to the liking of the cltlxens. The committee has several thousand dol lars Invested In seats and buildings in the pavilion. Even If another desir able location could be found the cost of building another pavilion and re constructing a "frontier town" would an ount to mony thousands of dollars.
