GERMANS STILL BORING 1
IN NORTHEAST VERDUN
A. P. A. Service.
LONDON, March 3.—The Ger
mans today continued their vio
lent attacks against the French
positions northeast of Verdun,
according to the official reports
received her today.
The German attack is still di
rected to the end of driving the
1 rench back from the positions
around Fort Douamont. Fierce
fighting is also progressing in
the vicinity of the village of Beau
mont with the Germans making
terrific efforts to pierce the French
front. Heavy artillery dueling is
also proceeding east of Verdun
where the Germans are apparent
ly preparing the way for assaults
from that direction. It is now
generally admitted that the belief
that the Germans were about to;
relenquish their attempts to take
the great Lorraine fortress were
ill-founded. To all appearances,
the Teutons are preparing for an
even great attack, judging front;
the wide extent of operations inj
that section.
DIES WHILE PHONING
NAME OF MUROEREH
A. P. A. Service.
MEXICO, Mo. March 2.—Fatally in*
Jured by an unknown and myeterloue
uaaallant who had murdered her hus
band, Mrs. Frank Sendlzer of this city
struggled with fast failing strength to
the telephone today and called up her
father to tell him of the fearfull trag
edy that had been enacted In her home,
but before she coud reveal the Identi
ty of the murderer death stole over
her and she sank to the floor beneath
the telephone while her frantic father
listened In vain for the name that
would tell the pereptrator of one of
the vest dastardly murders that has
ever taken place In this vicinity.
After telling of the murder of her
husband and the fatal wounding of
herself In brief gasping sentences,
Mrs. Sendizer was framing the very
words composing the name of her
assailant when the almost Indisting
uishable tones of her voice died Into
silence with the name unrevealed.
Investigation of the home In which
the tragic double murder waa com-'
milted disclosed no clew to the mur- ,
derer, who la thought to have been a
man who waa at one time employed
by Sendlzer and who, after being
discharged went away declaring his
j intention of getting even. The suspic
ion is purely surmise as nothing has j
ever been seen of the man since his
discharge and his name is unknown
here.

RUMOR AIRSHIP WITH MAIL
FOR NOME UNFOUNDED
Reports to the effect that an
aeroplane will soon leave the
southeastern coast with second
class and parcels post mail for
Nome have been in circulation
since yesterday afternoon but as
far as can be ascertained by the
Nugget are groundless. Accord
ing to the reports Mr. James
Fehse, the local representative
of the postpoffice department re
ceived a message from his su
periors Stating that an aeroplane
with six hundred pounds of mail
would leave for Nome shortly. It
was stated on the streets that
several parties had seen the tele
gram and had given testimony as
to the statements quoted. The
Nugget called up Mr. Fehse this
morning and asked him as to the
truth of the rumor only to re
ceive the reply that it was found
ed upon nothing more than a
garbled telegram which he had
received relating to the forward
ing to the forwarding of the ac
cumulated mail at Cordova.
According to the statement
of Mr. Fehse, the telegram
said that something like six hun
dred pounds of mail, comprising
all of the accumulated matter at
Cordova had departed for the in
terior on the second of the present
month. Of the total one hundred
pounds was parcels post and the
remaining five hundred second
class. lie says that the message
contained a reference to airship
service but this was due to er
rors in transmission and not to an
intended reference. W hen he fin
ally succeeded in getting the
message deciphered he found that
the air service reference was sim
ply one of the curious examples
of the way telegrams sometimes
get “bulled up." Mr. I'ehse also
says that he has no recollection
of showing the message to the
parties mentioned in the report.1
He asserts that he possibly men
tioned the airship reference con->
tained but only by way of a joke.1
He also says that he has no offi
cial intimation that an airship is
coming with mail at the time sug
gested by the rumor.
