BIG BATTLE HAS BEEN
FOUGHT in CHINA

Washington, Aug. 7.-Interest in the
Chinese situation was intensified this
morning by the receipts of two dis
patches from naval officers ut Che
Foo, repeating unofficial, but apparent
ly reliable reports Of active and extern
sive hostilities between the allied
forces and the Chinese on the line be-
tween Tien-Tsin and Pekin. The dis
patches indicate Enthusiastically that the
relief column has started In earnest,
and that 1t Is meeting with determined
opposition Although neither of the
naval dispatches mention the presence
Of American troops in the reported en-
gagement, 1t is generally assumed ut
the War Department that at least n
part of General Chaffee's small army
was on hand and took an active and
aggressive part in the affair.
The dispatches are as follows:
"Che Foo, Aug. 6.-The commander
of the British steamer Fame reports
unofiicially an engagement at Peitsang
Sunday morning. from o'clock to
1890 The allied loss In killed and
wounded was 1900, chiefly Russians

Denver Aug. 6.-The Republican
says:
In an effort to prevent Mrs. w. d.
Harger OF 1347 South fremont street
Denver, from being robbed, William ]
Fay, former superintendent Of the Den.
yer Gas Company, was Instantly killed
by two masked men who were rObbing
the passengers on Union Pacific train
No. 4, near Hugo, Colorado, Mt 1870
o'clock yesterday morning. So true was
the aim of one of the bandits that Mr..
Fay sank back dead in his berth in the
Pullman sleeper Lebo, shot through the
head.
The two desperadoes fired four shots
more to alarm the other passengers,
and then went calmly on to rob the oc-
cupants of the sleeper. In few min
utes, however, realizing that they had
killed man. desperate efforts were
made by the smaller of the desperadoes
to stop the train, and as the train drew
into Hugo and stopped, both men ran
for the door, tore open the vestibule
and, leaping to the platform, ran across
1t and We're soon lost in the darkness.
Mr.. Fay was found dead in his berth,
lying on his back, his revolver grasped
in his hand. From the nature Of the
wound 1t is believed that death was in
Simultaneous. Murphy at once left the
train and notified the agent, and in less
| than an hour Sheriff John w. Freeman
| with six well mounted men, had ridden
out of Hugo ON the trail of the fleeing
| bandits.
The amount secured by the bandits
was only S25 in cash.
| The two desperadoes are supposed to
| have boarded the train. which left Den
yer at 9:I0 o'clock Saturday night,
| either at Limon or Lake, but the exact
place is not definitely known. The
train stopped Mt Limon, and the next
| stop was at Lake, fifteen miles east
of Limon. Lake has only n coal
chute and water tank, and the train
stopped at the tank for water. 1t Is
believed the men got on the train at
Lake. for the train had only gone n
short distance before Conductor Smith
of the Pullman cars saw two men
wearing masks over the upper portions
of their faces come into the door of
the Asiatic. They pointed their revol-
yers at him and gruffly told him TO
walk ahead of them. The negro porter,
i. G.. Roger was also marched In front
of the bandits.
The men seemed nervous and in n
hurry. They aroused the sleeping pas
sengers and whatever was handed out
TO them they took, both men holding
revolvers in their hands and the smaller
of the two watching TO see that they
We're not attacked from the rear.
From the Asiatic they went into the
Lebo.
In the Lcbo. which was the Kansas
City sleeper, the men aroused the pas
sengers and demanded their valuables,
and the half-awake and terrified pas.
sengers handed out whatever they
could get their hands upon. Several
times the men told the passengers TO
hurry accompanying their orders with
oaths. They went through the cars
with n rush. snatching the things
handed out to them and dropping them
Into their pockets without even n
glance at what they were or the
amounts.

w. j. FAY KILLED
BY TRAIN ROBBERS

pied by Mrs. Harger, Mr.. Fay is said
to have put his head out from between
the curtains to ascertain, apparently
what was the matter, for the men
were talking grutiiy, and there was
more than the usual noise In the car
Accounts rs to the killing of Mr.. Fay
differ. One is that he shot at one OF
the bandits, who turned and shot hint
but this is not believed, notw.thstand
ing that his revolver was found
clinched in his hand. The other ac
count is that as soon ns he put his
head out of the berth. he started to
get out, seeing the men In the act OF
robbing Mrs. Harger. 1t is said that
he was seen to be holding revolver
Scarcely had he made motion as II
to raise his arm before the robber who
was acting as guard shot him. The
bullet entered his mouth. causing n
large wound, from which the blood
burst In stream. Mr.. Fay fell bacl;
In his berth. No other passenger
looked out from between the curtains.
but the men fired four more shots from
their revolvers to intimidate the occu-
pants of the car.
The printed description of the men is
as follows: One man about five feet
eight inches high, slender light nous
tache, dark clothes. old slouch black
hat; the other one five feet ten inches
high, slender. short black moustache,
forty years old, old black suit a..d old
striped rubber coat. Both men wore
black cloth masks over lower part of
face.
At 1855 o'clock yesterday afternoon
a dozen Pinkerton detectives and
County Detective De Lue went 30
Hugo, and from there started on the
trail of the bandits. Messengers We're
sent out from Hugo, Limon and other
towns yesterday giving a description
of the men to ranchmen and section
men. At 2:45 O'Clock yesterday af-
ternoon n telegram was received stat
ing that five men who had been out
had returned to Hugo without secur-
ing any trace of the desperadoes. Ad-
ditional men Will be sent out. so that
every mile Of the country around Hugo
will be covered Men from the Union
Pacific special service We're ordered
out from Omaha and Kansas City yes
terday, and when they arrive they will
take charge of the chase for the rob
bers.
Mr.. Fay was superintendent OF the
gas company for many years. When
the new gas company was organized
he was made director, and continued
in this position for two or three years
He is reported to have held considera-
BILE stock in the Denver Gas Company
as well as in the Water company and
also In the 'rramway company.
Mr.. Fay WAS known as the Father
of Odd Fellows" In Denver. He was
largely responsible for the success OF
the order In this city and he, II is said
did more than any one man 10 put the
order on a prosperous footing in this
city. He was past master OF the Den
yer lodge. lie was also charter
member Of the Caledonlan society and
has always been active In It's work
one of his objects in coming to Denver
was to participate in the recent picnic
Of the society.
In 1896 Mr.. Fay removed to Anhcim,
California.

an English horse on arrival is from
