Wiegamd was a saloonkeeper in Cop-

2, this year, B. K. Dawson, Miss Hobbs
and others, closed his saloon, put him
under arrest and confiscated his liquor
supply. In his application for an in
junction restraining the defendants, he
asserted that they would, unless re
strained, destroy goods, wares and
merchandise belonging to him to the
value of $3500. They gave him until
4 o'clock on the afternoon of January
3, to ship the liquor out.
Wiegand contended that he was in

Too Xiata to Enjoin.
The governor and others set up as
a defensse that none of the property
was destroyed, but that was seized

LITTLE GUNBOAT PUTS
UP A PLUCKY BATTLE
AGAINST HEAVY ODDS
Rainbow Stands Off Two
German Cruisers Until Big
French Warship Arrives,
At last after weeks of silence the
mystery of the Canadian navy, ths
doughty little gunboat Rainbow, has
come to the surface. According to in
formation received today from sources
said to be reliable, she met the enemy
on the high seas and escaped only "by
the skin of her teeth" and the fortun
ate reinforcement of a French cruiser.
The Rainbow, according to the story,
met with the Leipsic and Numbers
and pluckily put up a stiff battle
against them although the odds were
much against her. She was getting
far the worst of it when the French
cruiser Montcalm appeared on the
scene and the Germans after firing a
few shots took to their heels in face
of the enemy's superior armament.
So effective was the German fire
that the little Rainbow was completely
disabled, the Montcalm being compelled
to tow her into the Canadian naval
bae at Esquimau.
She is said to be in drydock there
now undergoing expensive repairs
while the majority of her crew, wound
ed in the engagement, are in the hos
pital. Due to the strict censorship "which
prevails in Canada the story of the
battle was never made public and only
leaked out through an unguarded state
ment of an Englishman acquainted
with the facts.
Inasmuch as the cannonading heard
off Coos Bay several weeks ago has
never been satisfactorily explained it
is believed highly probable that those
who heard the booming of guns Were
not mistaken and that it was the en
gagement between the Rainbow and
the two German ships.

Cars; Fitted With Flanged
Wheels to Use on Rails
When Possible to Do So,
By Ed It. Keen.
London, Nov.,; 24.4-Grand Duke
Nicholas' Slav forces held the advan
tage today in Russian Poland. General
von Hlndenberg and his German fol
lowers were at least temporarily ori
the defensive. A Russian threat
against the Teutonic left wing had
compelled a reformation of the kai
ser's front.
To accomplish the necessary re
disposition of his troops. Von Hinden
berg had bi-en forced to retire Mme
what. In doing so, it was stated un
officially at Petrograd, that he had
suffered heavily. The Russians were
advancing vigorously, too, in the hope
of preventing Jhe Germans from resum
ing the offensive on completing their
rearrangement!.
The, Russian were understood here
to outnumber the Germans two to one
but it was said the Germans excelled
the Russians from the standpoint of
mobility.
They were using great traina of auto
mobiles to transport men and supplies.
The cars were fitted with flanged
wheels to fit the railroad tracks where
there were any; in other, places broad,
heavy wheels 'adapted to easy : going
over poorly kept highways or the open
fields, were substituted.
Conditions were believed' here to be
more favorable to the Germans than
when they first advanced into Russian
Poland. Then the country- was a vaxt
marsh, in which their big guns and
heavy transport wagons were constant
ly bogging down and in some cases
having to be abandoned. . Now the
ground was froaen hard and their mas
sive equipment rumbled, easily over it.
The hardness of the ground made it
more difficult for the Invaders to "dig
themselves in," however, and this was
a serious handicap to them, for, with
the Russians in such superior' force, it
was Important for them to conserve
their numbers.
Russian cavalry was, constantly
harassing the Teutonic flanks.
General von Hlndeubert au believed
here to face a serious situation. British
military experts did not indorse- the
view that he had suffered a defeat, but
they did hold the opinion that he was
in danger of one, and defeat, in his
situation, they argued, would be "trot
or-ly defeat but overwhelming disaster.
