LONDON, Sept. 13.—The kaiser has summarily dis
missed from the service General von Kluge who was un
able to save his army from the check delivered by the
Russians near the Galician border some days ago. In ills

LONDON, Sept. 13.—The Russian army is demoraliz
ed if the news arriving today can be credited. Dis
patches have been coming to this city all day which in

their result. A bright bit of intelligence comes, however,
froin the Dardanelles where, it is said, the Turkish op
position is weakening.
PARIS, Sept. 13.—This makes the fifteenth day of
violent fighting in the western area at almost every point..
The French deluge of fire is believed to have wrecked the

the Signal Corps, has sent Operator
McNally at Paxson’s aiul furnished

operator and Arthur McNeer. who are

Paxson’s for Slate creek.
Arthur McNeer, the mining oper
ator and contractor, expected to meet
Dempsey at Slate Creek, and failing
in that came on over to Paxson’s. but
did not meet him enroute nor has he
since been found. He reported the
facts to Lieut. Dougherty, who im
mediately took such steps as were in
hi> power to aid in finding the mis
sing prospector, and the operator is
now with McNeer hunting for
Dempsey.
Dempsey is the original finder of
the Chisna mining camp, and the ru.^h
to his tind resulted in the location of
Slate creek. He is a full blooded
Cherokee Indian, ami has spent the
last IT years in this section.—Pros
