TACOMA, Wash, Oct. S.-A special
to the Ledger from Blaine, Wash,
says: Edward Holtzheimer, a farmer
living five miles south of this city,
was shot and seriously wounded last
night by masked assassin. The
shooting took place between the farm
house and barn. Holtzheimer was
carrying a bundle of clothing under
his left arm and it is to this fact he
owes his life. The assassin lay in
hiding behind stump and as the
unsuspccting farmer passed, he raised
up and placed the muzzle of a double
barreled shotgun almost against his
victims breast and pulled the trigger.
The charge of buckshot passed through
the bundle of clothing under the mans
arm. Holtzheimer grabbed the muzzle
of the gun, pushing the barrel down
ward, and he received the second
charge in the right leg above the
knee. The flesh was torn from the
bone for about six inches. Holtz-
heimer says he believes the assassin
to be Andrew Miller, an uncle of his
wife. Miller was placed under arrest.

THE DECISIVE BATTLE.

WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-The crisis

for within the next few days or two
weeks by those most interested and
best informed in the contest. The le-
cations of the two countries are eX-

battle has been fought. This is based
on the fact that the Japanese have
been gradually closing in around
Pekin and the invading army is com
PEELED by force of circumstances to
strike their blow at once or not at
all. The intense cold which comes
about the middle of October makes
this imperative. The Japanese troops
