 At later hour Mr. Lueavish reports he has taken in another homeless horse.
 He says that the owners of both animals 1 may have them by proving property and paying expense of their keerlng. Other wise, Lueavish will keep them. One of the animals Is a bay horse, 6 years old and

The second race over a thousand mile course after an -rlng wife and the man with whom she fled ended yesterday when pr. E. n. Harding, of MlSsoula, arrived from Seattle on the City of Seattle.

AS som as the steamer arrived Harding went straight to Judge Sehbrede and swore out warrentlganSt Chappelle, he inssTemsnt wss piaceG iu ths hands of the deputy marshal and dlllgent SC rth was begun for Chappelle, but up to late hour last night neither he nor Mrs. Hard ing had been found.

 Officers have heen closely watching the steamers that arrived yesterday from the Sound and are to return today, to see that Chappelle does no, start south. lnasmueh as no train left yesterday for the interior and the trail has been swept with binding snows and crossed and piled high with snowban<s it Is not considered possible that Chappe,le has "mushed" out of town or left in any other direction.

Hart would not be abl: to force a passage, and l directed him tj withdraw. He had, how ever, attacked with great gallantry and his leading battalion. the Connaught Rangers, 1 fear, suffered a great deal. Colonel l. G. Brook was seriously wounded.
 "l then ordered Gen. Hildyard to ad- vance, which he did, and his leading regiment, the East Surrey, occupied Col- enso Station and the houses near the bridge.
 At that moment heard that the whole artillery had sent to support the attack, the Fourteenth and Slxtv-slxth Field Bat teres, and six naval r2.pOunder quick firers, under Col. Long, had advanced close to the river, owing to Col. Longs desire tv be within effective range. The position proved to be full of the enemy, who sud denly opened a galing fire at close range, killing all the horses, and the gunnerS were compelled to st nd to their guns. Some Of the wagon teams got shelter for the troops in a kopje, and desperate efforts were made to bring out the field guns. The fire, however, was too severe, and only two were saved by Capt. Sehofeld and some drivers. whose names will furnish. Another most gallant attempt with three teams was made by an yfficer, whose name will obtain. Of the eighteen horses thirteen were killed. and as several drivers were wounded, would not allow another attempt. as lt seemed they would be a shell mark, sacrificing life to gallint at tempt to force the passage. Unsupported by artillery. directed the troops to with draw. which they did in good order. "Inr0ugnUut tur uuy vVuSijs~-bls force of the enemy was pressing on my right flank. but was kept back by mounted men under Lord DundOnald and part Of Gen. Barton's brigade.
 "The day was intensely hot and trying to the troops, whose conduct was excel lent. We have abandoned ten guns and lost one by shell-fre. The losses in Gen. Hart's brigade are, fear. heavy, although the proportion of severely wounded is, l hope, not large. The Fourteenth and Sixtv-slxth Field Batteries also suffered severe losses. We have retired to our camp it Chievelev."
