* LIFE OF TILLMAN
HANGS BY THREj
Washington, July 1.?Holding
life by a slender thread, with 1
hends of time apparently about
run down, Senator B. R. Tillman, w
a day or two ago suffered a sevi
attack of cerebral hemorrhage of 1
left side, is hovering between life a
death, with the end, from all prest
indications, but a few hours or at b<
a few days away.
How the senator became ill is
ready known. Today it was annoui
ed by his attending physicians that
t- - had had a very bad night, was suff
ing extreme nausea and could r
even retain hot water, which he 1
always craved, on his stomach. T1
morning Senator Tillman failed
rouse at the expected hour and it v
discovered that he had lost consciot
ness during the night. This has r
been regained up to the present a
all day he has been steadily sinkii
The paralysis has been going upwi
and today it has been with the utm<
difficulty that the Senator has be
able to swallow the liquids which t
nurses have been endeavoring to |
ints his stomach. In a word, t
strongest part of his system is n<
his heart but how long this will i
main so with the paralysis creepi
^ upward is not known.
This describes Senator Tillmai
condition up to the present hour. 1
may linger on for two or three da
or the end may come at any niomei

As showing how unexepectedly tl
attack came on, it was said today th

I ; ROSELLA USES RAZOR AND
| HELPS TOWN TREASURY
The town treasury is again in a
prosperous condition. Thirty dollars
j were extracted from Rosella Coe last j
Monday in the Mayor's court when
, the aforesaid Rosella, wife of Cla- ^
rence Coe, wis fined for carving the
l face of Ethel Streater. wife of Willi* -
' ? - s
Strcater. A razor, not of the safety
sort, is said to bo the weapon used. (
The fight occurred last Sunday
night after church services, when p
i1 Rosella accused Ethel of being to f
I friendly with Clarence. The fighters p
were quickly parted, but not until the
trusty razor had performed its duty f
well. Ethel's wounds are serious, but t
, t, she will recover.

f the German offensive on the West

? every reason to believe that by the th

There is great stir and movement <j0
mong the Germans before the Ainecan
