Woodbridge, Sept. 1:—For the
second time this year an automobile
of Charles J. Demarest, of Wood
bridge, former candidate for free
holder on the Republican ticket, was
seized by the sheriff.
The machine was attached yester
day by Deputy Sheriff Edward F.
Houghton, and is now in the Eib
garage at New Brunswick, where it
will remain until a public sale is held
to satisfy the claim of Andrew
Harcar, of Ftaritan, who sold the
machine to Demarest three months
ago for $ H00. Promises to pay for
the machine were of no avail, and
Saturday afternoon Harcar, with a
representative of the prosecutor's
office, went to Woodbridge, broke
open the lock on the garage and took
the machine. Demarest, after a
search, located the car yesterday
morning, and was about to take it
out of the garage when Harcar ap
peared on the scene. After a long
^argument, during which Demarest re
fused to vacate the seat, two lawyers
Tere sent for and when they arrived
auiul both Demarest and Harcar

SomervlUe, representing Harcar,

Jeorge Burton and Leo J. Coakley
seized a machine owned by Demarest
to satisfy a claim.
COWBOY' FREED
I
Ellis Measal, cowboy, of Kit far
son's wild west show lhat exhibited
here Friday, was released last night,
after having been held in jail since
last Friday night. Following efforts
of several Odd Fellows of this city
gain the man's liberty for him,
^Pecorder Fickersglll had the com
plainant before him yesterday after
noon. John Bucholz, of 408 Laurie
street, appeared before the recorder
and said that he would be willing to
settle for the amount of the medical
expense, which he said was $14. The
recorder sent him home to see his
parents concerning withdrawing the
charge, and the youth returned lasit
night and demanded $25. There
were no witnesses to prove that the
cowboy had thrown the stone that
struck Bucholz, and the recorder de
cided that his court was not the
place to collect damages, so dis
charged Measal.

"As a result of the general engagement which lasted from
August 26 to August 30, we took 17,000 prisoners and cap
tured 120 Austrian and German guns. Austria now has in the
field opposing the second and third Russian army not less than
1,000,000 men. The Austrian troops are far from being the
effective weapon that they have been expected to be. They
have been unable to withstand either the charges of the Cos
sacks or the infantry bayonet charges of the Russian field
forces. Lemburg is now infested and its capitulation is be
lieved certain. The Russian armies operating in Austria are
the superior of the Austrians and are expected to completely
overwhelm them."
RUSSIANS CHECKED BERLIN SAYS
Special bu United Press Wire.
Berlin, Sept. 1:—The war oflice
statement today declares the French
and English armies have been driven
back with heavy losses near Lafere,
and the German advance on Paris
continues. The operations all along
the line of battle throughout France
are characterized as "satisfactory,"
and It is stated the German forces
under the crown prince, operating
near Longwy, have enjoyed uninter
rupted success.
These announcements resulted in
widespread rejoicing. So far as the
situation in eastern Prussia is con
cerned, it is stated that the German
situation is now excellent. Rein
forcements are now on the Held
and have assumed the offensive.
Stories that the Russians are serious
ly menacing the defense of the
Vistula are ridiculed at the war office,
which insists that the general Rus
sian offensive movement has been
checked there.
The Red Cross has undertaken the
care of the refugees who have been
compelled to flee from their homes
in eastern Prussia before the Cossack
Invasion. This lattef work coupled
with the general relief of the wound
ed have taxed the facilities of the
lied Cross to the utmost, but a call
for volunteers brought many re
sponses from the German women.
Not only was the difficulty solved but
many had to be put on the waiting
list. The women are as active as the
men who are at the front. While
the government has made an allow
ance for the families of every soldier
at the front this is considered inade
quate as the various relief organiza
tions have taken up the work of car
ing for the needy in a sympathetic
manner.

largo British force has landed at
Ostend to reinforce the marine
guards which have been holding that
seacoast city against a threatened
German attack. The German cavalry

cupied -Ostend will cooperate with
the Belgium army in the tield.

have definitely located the German
base. Every precaution has been
taken to prevent a German raid of

been mounted on the fortifications
far away from the city and they are
constantly turned to the sky through

lins.
