DI3IILIN, via London nnd Tlio
llngup, Oct. 7, 4:G2 p, in. German
forces on tho frontier of Knst Prussia
liavo assumed a strategic defensive
movoment. Thoy abandoned tlio
bombardment of Onaowctz fortress In
llusslan Poland. After setting the
city of Osaowctz on fire, with shells,
they were nolo to rotlro with their
nloRO guns and n pontoon train. They
destroyed the railroads to tho front
ier nnd nro now holding In check su
perior Russian forces from heavily
entrenched positions near Drostkcn.
Tho fighting at An gusto wo and Su
wnlkl was most sanguinary. Tho
timchlno guns finally turned tho scalo
of hnttlo in favor of the Germans, but
tho slaughter of tho German artil
lerymen was terrific. Ono German
linttory lott nil its men nnd cavalry
men hnd to be drafted to servo tho
guns. Tho cavalrymen held out un
til they hnd only thrco rounds of
nmmttnltlon left. They then re
tired with tho Russian Inlantry only
n furlong away.
Hampered Hy Weather
Had weather hampered tho move
ments of tho German troops nnd In
terfered with their aerial reconnais
sances. Tho fact that tho Russians
wore protected by n lino of forts mnde
tho German offensive doubly hard.
Their advance was over a country
whlrh is nothing mora than a morass.
Tho Russians hnvo gained in of
fensive strength. Their artillery In
flicted heavy losses.
General von Ilindcnburg, tho Ger
man leader who has been operating
in Poland, was obliged to mako a
number of forced marches in going to
tho relief of tho Austrians, who woro
hard pressed. Ho reached Opawto,
on tho spurs of tho Lysagory moun
tains, in time to bo off holp. At this
point a great battto Is thought to bo
In progress. Tho throwing of a Inrgo
Husslan force from Radom south of
Warsaw, in tho direction of Ivango
rod, to the northesat, is an incident of
this engagement.
Volunteers Fill 7a
Tho 39th German Infantry, which
becamo known through tho Zabcrn
Incident, again has left abcrn for tho
front. Many volunteers fill tho gaps.
The men woro given quantities of cl
,gars and well supplied with winter
clothing by the peoplo of tho town.
M. Mnx, former burgomaster of
Ilrusscls, Is now a prisoner of tho
Germans at Nauiur.
Tho 43rd German casualty list has
been made public. It contains 10,
fiOO names In dead, wounded nnd

., Tho defense of Thomas G. Smith,
a Klamath Indian on trial In tho fed
eral court, accused of tho murder of
a fellow tribesman, Link Itlver lleall,
will be self defense, and thnt death
was furthered by lack of medical
treatment, according to the opening
statements of his attorneys this morn
ing. The government will contend
thnt the crlino was premeditated.
Tho taking of testimony began this
morning, tho wife and son of tho
murdered man testifying. Tho evi
dence of tho wife, Isabella lleall, wns
given through tho interpreter, Thos.
Unrkdull. She testified regarding tho
quarrel, and the landing of tho fatal
blow with tho horseshoe. Tho son,
Thomas Reall, corroborated tho testi
mony of his mother.
It developed from tho testimony
that Smith, tho defendant, with a
number of Indians had been stopping
at tho Dealt homo for a month or so,
and thnt tho argumont thnt resulted
In the fatal row, whb born of tho ac
cusation that Smith had been drink
ing, lleall, tho witnesses said, was
admonishing Smith for his uso of in
toxicants. Then tho hot words flow,
lleall. though an old man over CO
years of ago, was of powerful phy
sique and over six feet tall, and when
he grasped Smith by the shoulder, tho
defense maintains tho defendant be
lieved his life to bo In danger, and
picked up the first handy weapon a
horseshoe Thoy also allego. that
Link River lleall was possessed of
nn ungovcrnablo temper. Tho de
fense will maintain that tho act of
Smith wns Justifiable.

showed no emotion, nnd seems to vlow
