RUSSIANS CAPTURE
AUSTRIAN TRANSPORTS
A. P. A. Service.
LONDON, March 22.—Heavy
hghting is going on along the
Dneister river in lower Galicia,
according to Petrograd dispatch
es today and the forces of the
czar are making steady progress
in their offensive which is daily
assuming greater porportions.
The Russians have now forced
the Austrians to abandon prac
tically all transportation on the
Dneister and the transport ves
sels have been captured- The
Russian movement is gradually
spreading to the northward and
indicates the opening of a renew
ed effort to wrest Galicia away
from Austrian control.

FUNDS SHORT
CASHIER MISSING
A. P. A. Service.
SEATTLE, March 22.—Oliver
H. Cline, cashier of the Pacific
Coast Company is missing to
gether with something like ten
thousand dollars of the funds of
the company with which he has
been connected for the past sev
enteen years. Cline was the most
trusted employe of the company
and has acted as cashier of all of
the subsidary corporations con
nected with the Pacific Coast
Company Owing to the supreme
confidence reposed in him Cline
was given practically a free hand
in looking after a large part of
tlie business of the company and
lie was thus afforded an excellent
(tpportunity to carrying on his
peculations. An examination of
the books following his sudden
lisappearance discloses that his
operations have extended over a
number of years, and may run
into a much higher figure than is
quoted- The company will lose
nothing hy his peculations, how
ever, as Cline was under bonds
which will practically cover all
losses.

PARIS TEXAS WIPED
JUT BY FIRE
A. P. A. Service.
PARIS, Tex., March 22.—
Eight thousand people are home
less today as a result of a fire
wfitcn almost wiped the town out
of existence during the night. The
conflagration had its origin in an
incipient blaze in a restraurant
but which spread with such rap
idity under the impulse of a
strong wind that the entire town
was soon in flames.
Failure of the water supply at
critical moments also contributed
to the disater. The business sec
tion of the town was wiped out
entirely and only a portion of the
residence section yet remains this
morning. Owing to the rapid
spread of the flames very few
succeeded in saving more than
their personal effects and the
greater part of all supplies were
consumed in the raging flames
which swept from one side of the
town to the other leaving a small
portion of the houses intact at
either side of the line of advance.
The damage will approximate
three million dollars.
