YSER RIVER RUNS RED; ALL CI BUT CHOKED WITH BODIES S Evidence of Heroism?German As- ^ saults on Allies Bitter and Brave, But Futile. London, Oct. 27.?The correspond- ' ent of The Daily Mail in northern se France, telegraphing under date of Sunday night regarding the fighting on the river Yser, says: "There were tn 2,500 German bodies in the Yser ca- ^ nal this morning after the fighting in 1,1 the night. Many of them were drown- w. ed and others were bayoneted. The P1 very water itself was bloody while es Dixmude's streets were strewn thick with the dead. % "These ghoulish facts alone give some idea of the savageness of the ? fighting, the desperation of the Gei.man attacks and the stubbornness of F1 the allies' resistance. "The night was a hell from dark to in dawn. At almost every point of the r<j line man was opposed by -nan, some- . times at a few hundred yards dis- JS tance, but more often in close grips. . Face to face men even wrestled and !" died by drowning each other in the canal's waters. The Germans had had orders to get through that night, or ct>st what it might. "An officer of theirs, who was captured, said the delay of more than a es week in crossing this waterway hud incensed the autocratic military mind F* in Germany. It must be crossed to- S? night if it costs thousands of men. tu.,, ?.,,1 ar i nai in cuvv.v uiu vivici ?"u the German soldiers, all credit to them, did their best. "Probably 5,000 of them gave their ^ lives last night. They could not givt more. They failed but not because the Germans did not literally obey their orders. They crossed the wa- co tcrway as they were bid, but once ^ through they could not make good. CQ They were mowed down with rifle j1( shot, torn into human fragments by shells and bayoneted back .yard b> yard over their own dead into the wa ters of the canal. Into the very fray w' of the morning this bloody work went j on so fiercely that there was hardly* a trench or bridge guard in the whole ' j line that <lid not imagine that he had w been singled out for special attack. l "It is believed that some 5,000 Germans crossed the river Yser but hardly one of them got back. Those to jg the north and northwest of DixY.iude, a, probably 2 000, were met by a fine Dj rally of the Tlelgian infantry and of ;u the cavalry, who had tethered their cn horses, and were diiven by main ei| force, at the bayonet's point, to the river canal and into it. Therfe Y.tust have been fra'ntic scenes and the bodies seen in the water tha he::t day gave grim testimony o* this. "About 5,000 German infantrymen ?f got into Dixmunde. Thev held,.It for w a time, but with shell fire ana [Hfle C? fire the place was riddled. The vi mans rushed out of the crUnilbllng ta houses only to be wiped out by shrabnel and shot in the streets. CO "When Sunday morning broke the hi dead and wounded were everywhere. f? Dixmude was a cemetery, but in the h'i cemetery not far away the Germans it, still lingered. They held a position m under a desperate fire and eventually g. were reinforced. The allies c<mld not hi uum. mem anu tne v?ermans are sun e.r across the Yser. "Their presence may not be permanent and they may suffer the same E' fate of hundreds of their feUowq . inp the week, who pot over pn}y t;? meet their death, but the Belpiai) and *? French lines, for the time botnp at ?.a least, have been drawn back about 'U this point." v s? ? . H YOUNG MAN IS KILLED ^ IN GREENVILLE COUNTY Judson Brooks Killed By Officer at Stradleyville.?Shot Was Ac- th cident?Officer was m Attempting Gi Arrest. a Greenville, Oct. 25.?Judson Brooks J." was shot and mortally wounded early $5 Sunday mo^ninp by the chief of rural j' police, Reuben Gosnoll. The shoot- wj mir occurred in Stradleyville, Green ville county's demimonde, and accord- afl inp to Gonnell, was accidental. The younp man, who was 19 years of ape, sa was resistinp arrest and the officer *wj struck him over the head with a 118 e calibre automatic revolver. The first blow did not quiet Brooks, so Gosnell struck him apain, it is said. The vc pistol was discharped and the bullet ,1, ? went into the brain of the younp man. j(1 The wounded man was taken to his home oiM)'Neill street, Cityview. lie nj is survived by his parents and several SO sisters. flf The killinir created great excite- en ment in the section where it occurred. c,j1 Chief Gosnell notified other officials* of the killing and was lodged in jail. vc He regrets the occurrence deeply and ^(, stated that his sole purpose was to u. place the boy under arrest. Brooks Wl and Rural Policeman Maccauley were S| scuttling and Chief Gosnell came to the officers' assistance. The boy nf slashed the chief several times with a jf knife, it is said, and Gosnell then or struck him over the head, according jK to the story of the killinir as related. m At the coroner's in<|uest hfcld today it was testified by doctors that the ^ skull was bioken by the blows struck jj and that dea'h might have cortib even had the revolver failed to go off. Chief Gosnell has a jrood reputation s an officer o<" the law and scores of ol friends have called upon him to ex, jQ "re s sympathy and regret at the un- |,, fortunate occurrence. Bondsmen in (.| large numbers have offered and to- a, morrow his bond will he arranged. It is learned on good authority that n( a number of persons interested in w near-beer places of Stradleyville have sought to employ two leading attorneys to aid in the nrosecntion of rtoo- I noil. The officer is very unpopular w with the lawless element and one con- fj nected with the case says his enemies propose to make a hard fignt against rf him it they can get lawyers to take the case. It has been GosnelPs custom to patrol Stradleyville each Saturday night and the killing occurred while he was performing this duty. He has on frequent occasions arrested blind tigers and other offenders in this notorious w section. nJ ? o Success comes to some men in spite to of themselves. * cc Money is a man's greatest trouble if he hasn't any.

The other prisoners were pani ricken and made no effort either t cape or to rush to the guard's aid. After arming himself Hughes con died a negro at the point of a gu break the chains that bound h et and later exchanged clothes wit lother negro whom he met on th ghway. Stephens, the guard, was taken 1 ie City hospital but died in a fe >urs without regaining consciou: (ss. His heme is at Roebuck, in th unty. The murder for which Hughes wt mvicted was one of the most col ooded crimes ever committed in tli unty. It was stated at the trial thj ' killed Cox while Cox stood wit s hands up begging that his life I tared. A negro woman, Lula Huf as an accomplice in the crime an as tried with Hughes.
