ing the evidence in the case against
the Flack brothers and C. Self, for
an affray at Brown Summit two
weeks ago, in which deadly weapons
were used, 'Squire J. B. Minor bound
all four of the defendants over to
September term of criminal court.
The hearing was held Saturday after

ple of the Brown Summit section.
The evidence tended to show that the
three Flack boys entered the store
of Self, where a difficulty soon arose.
All three of the Flack boys attacked
Self, who drew a gun and shoTtme of
them. The injured young man, who
has been at the hospital, is much Im

the Chelm-Lubliir railway, about mid
way between those two cities, and
that southeast of this, as far as the
Bug river, the Russian front had been
"shaken."
The success of General Von Mack
ensen in getting across this railway
after having been virtually stopped
by the Russian counter attack denies
at least one line of retreat to the Rus
sians who might still be between him
and Warsaw and also places the Ger
mans in a position to move against
the Bug river front should this be
decided upon.
British military critics, however,
refuse to believe that Grand Duke
Nicholas, commander in chief of the
Russian forces, has not provided for
all contingencies or that he was not
fairly sure of the safety of his
troops before indicating to the -world
that he had decided to take up a new
line.
Dispatches received say that the
country around Warsaw has been put
to the torch, while the city itself has
been denuded of everything that
might be of use to the Germans if it
falls into their hands. It may even
be some days before the Teutons oc
cupy the Polish capital, for the Rus
sians are still delivering heavy blows
at their opponents and are gaining
we local successes. However, mil
itary eritica say these local successes
will not affect the Russian plan xf
