"I gave the Information to the

ALLENSTKIN, East Prussia, Ger
many, Aug. 3. Fighting. on the Rus
sian frontier was confined, to small
engagements between cat airy out
posts until 6 o'clock last evening, but
nn attack was then made by the Bus
slau Invaders on Johannlsburg, which
is occupied by a squadron of tho llth
Pomeranian Dragoons.
The railroad from Johannlsburg to

been cut and also the light railroad
running to Blottowf.
The losses of tho Russian troops
nro believed to havo been about 20
men, while tho Germans havo not
lost any killed, although several huve
been wounded.

HUNTER KILLS COMPANION
(Continued from tato 1)
tsN
"Sounded Like a Deer"
Dodge maintains that tho nofcc
sounded like a deer and that Okm
came into camp from the wrong di
rection. Olson has lived in this sec
tion about four years and has an
nged mother in Wisconsin, where the
body will be shipped Ibis week. He
has n brother employed as n cruiser
bv the Weed Lumber company of
Weed, Cnl.
When the first new of the tragedy
reached this city it was reported
that Martin Enekt-on, forot super
visor, was the victim, nnd friends in
this city took steps to notify rela
tives in the east. Afterwards this
report was traced down nnd found
untrue.
ProsecHttosi Promised
Ittgid prosecution of all deer hunt
ing accidents was announced this
morning by Prosecutor Kelly. "Ev
ery amateur hunter who goes into the
woods and shoots at noises nnd kills
11 human instead will be brought be
fore tho grand jury on a charge of
manslaughter, irrespective of who
they me, or where they come from,"
snid Prosecutor Kelly.
"The temper of tho people has
been tried to the limit by careless
ness thut makes it dangerous to go
mto the woods during the first days
of the, deer season! Any hunter who
shoots a fellow man for a deer cuu
expect igorous prosorution from my
office without fenr or favor."
Coroner Kellogg slnted this morn
ing that en route to the scene of the
tragedy the shooting sounded like the
rattle of musketry in n skinnihh but
tle, and that the whizz of the bullets
could be distinctly beard. In the
evening the firing increased, nnd it
was evident that the hunters wero
taking desperate chances on securing
a deer, their ardor imperiling the
lives of men nnd stock.
' Jjiws Safeguard Hunters
Tho game laws amply safeguards
hunters, providing thut hunters wuit
until they see the horns oflhe buck
before firing, nnd also prohibits tho
shooting of deer after sundown nnd
at a salt lick. It is generally con
ceded that these regulations are ob
served more in the theory Minn the
practice.
Two deaths resulted in tho closing
days of the 1013 season from hunt
ers being mistaken for deer, Wilbur
Kim e mistaking George Iiighain for a
deer near Trail, and a similar mis
take in the Dead Indian country re
sulting in the death of one of the
Conger brothers at the bund of a
brother.
News of tho last accident cast u
damper on the hunting spirit, und
many this morning announced their
intention of waiting unti) the first
deer bunting excitement had died
down before venturing into the
woods.

GERMANY CLAIMS
LAND NECESSARY
. LONDON, Aug. 3. The German
point of view in regard to the viola
tion of neutrality In llelgliitu was ex
plained at the German embassy us
follews:
"The German general slaff has
been reliably Informed that French
troops are assembling In great num
bers on tho Belgian frontier pre
paratory to crossing.
"Tho Gorman government there
fore Informed tho Belgian govern
ment that If for strategical reasons
German troops wore compelled to tra
verse Belgian territory this move
should not bo considered In nny way
a warlike measure directed against
llelglum, b'ut only as a necessity lm-
poiod by French Initiative and that It
Belgium otfora no armed resistance
to such n movement Germany will
guarantee tho Belgian government
the maintenance of Its territorial In
tegrity and sovereignty and tho-fult-est
compensation for any Inconven
ience caused by tho passage of the
Imperial troops."
Tho German embassy alsq stated
that it was quite certain no questions
would arise In connection with Ger
man troops crossing the Dutch front
ier or in auy way Interfering with
that neutrality.
