I HOEEIBLE CRUELTIES REPORTED.
- Paris, Oct. 25. Horrible cruelties are
being visited on Serbians by the Bul-
h garian invaders of that country, ac-
t . ording to dispatches today trom Salon-
Neither side expects or grants any
'S quarter. The troops of both armies
I .seem actuated by fiery personal hatred.
The dispatches allege tat tne Bulgar
ians are slaughtering non-combatants
by the wholesale, not even sparing the
tiged men and women and little chil
dren. Following Sofia's official claim that
the Bulgarians have captured Cskub,
Czar Ferdinand's troops are rushing re
inforcements across the Salonika-Nish
railroad. The occupation of this city
Hives the Bulgars a strong hold on this
line and it is predicted tnat tne allies
will have difficulty penetrating to the
aid of the imperiled Serbians.
Though still offering desperate oppo
sition to the advancing Austro-German
hordes, the Serbians are believed to be
reakening. Gradually, it is feared,
their opposition will disintegrate.
The Teuton gains in the Balkans,
however, have been more than offset
by their losses on the Russian and Ital
ian fronts where the Slavs and the
army of King Victor Kmma;iuel are
generally on the offensive.
AUSTRIANS CLAIM GAINS.
Vienna, Oct. 2:5. General successes
for Austrian arms were described today

This Indicates the Kaiser Is
Not In Accord With Those
Ordering Execution
London, Oct. 2T. The reported sum
mons to (leneral Von Der Luncken aud
Von Biasing, the civil and military gov
ernors of Belgium to report at imperial
headquarters personally regarding the
execntion of Miss hdith ('avoll, hnglisb
woman, was interpreted here today as
meaning that her killing may not be a
unqualilieuly approved .as a stntement,
in defense, issued by Under Secretary
.nnincrmnn, of the Ix-rlin foreign of
tice would indicate. This announce
meat held her execution legal and justf
fied, and pointed out that her work
was part of a "world wide" plot in
which a woman might be more crafty
tli nn a mnn.
The impression here has been all
along that the Brussels authorities has
toned her dentil lost the kaiser pardon
her. The llermiins attempted to pre
vent American Minister Brand Whit
lock from knowing she had been sen
tcni-iM until after the execution was
completed, wus also attriliutod to i'enr
that he would save her somehow.
However the kaiser might regard the
merits ot the case it is not believed
that he was pleased with interfereu
with his prerogative. I'robaby for the
sake of discipline nothing will be done
of finnllv but it is believed that liissm

ing ot the county courts of Polk and
Marion countiej and representatives of
the city of Silent held at Dallas Sat

en when the courts found that they
would be liable for criminal negligence
should the bridge go down with some
one on it. The moral responsibility
ceased when tho state highway engin
eers said Hint it was "imperative"
that tho bridge be closed.
City Co u no ilma. i Uuddleson chrys-
talized the sentiment of Saturday's
meeting when he stated at the joint
meeting: "I have many winters on my
head and I am getting just a little too
old to spend any time in the state
pen."
The thought of criminal negligence
in addition to moral responsibility
caused definite action to be takon and
tho closing order was the result. The
unanimous vote of Die meeting was to
close the brldgo ss. the entire courts
of both counties to a man voted for it
in.l tho city eoimcihnen, Uuddleson
and Cook, were iu favor of suspending
the traffic until a new bridgo could
lie built.
The Courts will meet again Tuesday
of this week to mr.ko arrangements for
a free ferry across the stream. This
morning the mail carriers who operate
out of Salem in Polk county prepared
to stable their horses In Folk county
and ferry the mail across the river iu
a boat. The dairy at tjie end of the
bridgo In Polk county will keep its
loams in M.ilem ami has secured an ab
solutely water tighb boat to ferry tho
milk across the river to be distributed
to thnir customers iu Bnlem.
While regretting tho drastic, action
i.i closing tho bridge the courts were of
the opinion that such a step was t'.ie
oniy saie way. mine me iirmgo inigni
stand for nomc tinio It was argued that
It bad bin pronounced as unsafe and
the bridge department of the state snid
it should be closed and In the event of
damage suitu the courts would have
nothing to stnml on as It could be
shown they hail ample warning. Oue
damage suit might cost more than a
new bridge and still leave the river tin
bridged.
It was stilted that by placing a
watchman on either end of the bridge
to warn the tin! He that the passAge ov
er tho bridge was made at the side risH
of the traveler would not relieve the
county courts of the responsibility in
case of an accident and with the large
fjmount of traffic which has been pass
ing over the structure It is probable
that all who must use the bridge on
both sides of the river will be unani
mously in favor of a new bridge aud
as soon as posi iblo to erect ouo.
in order to construct a ferry it will
bo necessary to s cure right of way for
a mail leading to the ferry and on this
side of the river to find a place where
a rea.w uilile grudii limy be secured. It
is not opcclid that any trouble In sc
