BOY SKATER DROWNS NEAR WAGON BRIDGE

Harold Flesher Loses Life In Wabash Eiver, and Companion Narrowly Escapes.

While skating on the river near the Wabash avenue bridge yesterday afternoon about 5:30 o'clock, Harold Flesher, 19 years old, 1826 North Ninth stfeet, and Paul Leatherman fell through the ice. Flesher was drowned, but Leatherman was able to pull himself out after he had gone down once. Flesher's body had not been recovered early this morning.

The boys were going south on the river, having come from Fort Harrison, where they had spent most of the aft.ernoon skating. The point where the ice broke is, just south of the bridge, and from twenty to thirty i'eet from „the bank, ahd near a sewer outlet. 3 7•, Leather jnan said he and Flesher were close to each other, and broke a hole only about a yard and. a half each way when they went under. He says •f when he came up he found himself near the edge of the ice, and succeeded in throwing one leg over, but does not think that Flesh&r came up near the hole. 4^ When Leatherman, climbed out of v^he icy water^he'skated ,away from the •piole as rapidly ,'ate hve bould, •and' says v|.he did not' ftiiow 'which- way he was ^skating. He' poached the TaylorvilJe fVshore, and after receiving attention

Rold of what-^had happened, and police headquarters was. notified: -'J. M\ Dies on,. Birthday. •gj^'.'Bicyclemen were dispatched to the

MAY BRING SIEGE WAR

Armies" of Hindenburg and Nicholas Meet Stubborn Foes Along Western Line of Battle.

LONL'ON, Dec. 26.-—A' deadlock is apparently impending in the fighung between the armies of Field Marshal Hindenburg and Grand Duke Nicholas in Central Poland. With the Germans unable to advance their lines beyond the Russian defenses along the Bzura and Rawka rivers, reports today indicated that the two armies may settle down to virtual siege operations, such as have prevailed in the west, until the outcome of fighting 'at other points in the eastern area is determined. Despite severe fignting throughout the entire week,' the Germans have made no appreciable gain along the entire 75-mile front west of Warsaw. On the northern half of their battle, from the Vistula to the east of Skierniewic, they have been held' ih complete check. Further south the battle is still developing.

Russian 6lr.ims of advantages over, the Austrians in* the Carpathians appear, to be partially borne out in the statement issued from Vienna tonight. This statement declares that the Russians have possibly met with success "'here and there," although the AustHans claim to be gaining ground slowly. Intimations from Vienna ot possible reserves such as are suggested in tonight's statement, are usually later followed by definte-word of severe repulses suffered by the troops cf Emperor Franz Josef.

Having advanced through the Dukla Pass and reached Sanok in an attempt to raise the vsiege of Przemysl,, the Austrians have been engaged with a strong Russian force in this region. Another battle iias been in progress in the Dunaje Valley, to the northwest, -while a strong Russian force ih Southern Poland has advanced down)

N id iv a a in he A us German army in that region. While his main army is engaged before Warsaw, Field Marshal Von Hindenburg has succes^fullj' repulsed all attempts of the Russians against the line of communications to Thorne. All attempts of the Russians to cross the Vistula, which guards the line, have been repulsed. The Vistula is bridged at but three places between Thorn and Warsaw—at Vloclavek, Plock and Novogeorgievsk. The river Is now freezing, but strong German forces protect all points where a crossing might be attempted.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.—A dispatch to the Austi-o-Hungarian embassy from Vienna today announced that the Austrian emperor had expressed his thanks to President "Wilson, through Ambassador Penfield, for the American Christmas gifts distributed yesterday ^mong children of dead soldiers.
