POINTS IN FAVOR OF BATTLE SHIPS
official Report of the Naval Engagement
on lalu River

Washington, Dec. 21-While the Chi
nese mail, which has just arrived at the
navy department, failed to bring anv
news of events which have happened at
Port Arthur during the occupation of
that stronghold by the Japanese, it did
include the first reports which have
reached the department from it's intel
ligence officers at the seat of war touch
ing upon the great naval engagement
off the mouth of the Yalu river One of
the officers reports confirms in every
respect the dispatches of the Associ-
ated press published soon after the bat
tie and perhaps the most significant
portions relate to the battleships of
the Chinese opposed to the Japanese
cruisers. In substance they show that
the heavily armored vessels We're prac-
tically uninjured by the japanese fire
and as this fact tends strongly to carry
out the arguments in favor of the bat
tleship as against the cruiser as set
out in the report of the secretary of the
navy to congress without doubt the
reports will be exhibited to the naval
committee in connection with the pend
ing proposition for the construction of
three more battleships.

was almost certain to lose the case.

resolution, stating the county would

get others into trouble. The rope used
was the one used by Sheriff O'Neill at

Kalspel, Dec. 21.-The murder of
Lena Cunningham has been avenged.
Calvin j. Christie, alias Charles j.

morning.
Sheriff Gangner aroused him from

the last moment Christie prayed fire.
qucntly, and when the crowd com
menced to assemble he walked rapidly
back and forth in his cell. Promptly at
10 Sheriff Gargner opened the cell door
and read the death warrant. Christie
then put on his coat, and after shaking
hands and bidding all the prisoners and
his guards goodbye. the procession
started for the gallows. He smiled and
was as cheerful as If going on pleas

COOL TO THE LAST.
Upon mounting the scaffold Christie
stepped upon the trap. looking up at the
rope SO as to stand in the right spot
He knocked the snow off his shoes, and
looking over the crowd he recognized a
ed, Hello, Jack" There was about
$50 within the neclosure to witness the
execution. The sheriff Immediately ad-
justed the straps. and as he was buck
ling the straps around the waist, Chris
tie said: That's too tight Joe; you
will squeeze those oysters" Everything
being in readiness for the moose, the
sheriff asked the doomed man if he had
anything to say. Raising his face to-
ward heaven, he said: II am the hap
piest man on earth today. ! would not
trade my faith in Jesus Christ for all
the gold and pardons that could be
stacked up i'm this Jail yard" He then
offered short prayer in school boy
fashion, concluding by saying, Let her
go"
The rope was then placed around his
neck, when he took occasion to remark
that the moose was too tight, it choked
him. The black cap was drawn over his
head, when Rev. Fisher offered a short
prayer and as he uttered the amen the
trap was sprung. He dropped at exact
ly seven minutes past 10, death resulting
at the same instant. His neck was
broken and the body only held by the
skin of the neck.
Coroner Cummings and DIR. Client
held the pulse and in four minutes an
nounced a quiet pulse. Sheriff Gangner
is highly complimented for bravely per-
forming his duty in such successful
manner. 1t was one of the cleanest
executions ever witnessed.
To see the cruel assassin dangling at
the end of the hangman's rope did not
arouse the slightest sympathy for the
murderer's conduct was such as to re-
move the solemnity that usually sur
| rounds such occasions.
The body was cut down and placed
in pine coffin within 10 minutes after
the trap was sprung. Undertaken Brad.
