Tacoma, Wash, Jan. 15.-The steam
er Elm Branch brings news from
Shanghai that French warships have
taken possession of Kwong Chau Wan
Bay, where boundary dispute has
been pending for several months.
The French commenced operations
by se4zing two Chinese gunboats, de-
stroying their guns and ammunition
and taking the officers aboard the
French ship as prisoners. The warships
then sheiled twenty Chinese villages,
compelling the Chinese troops to move
back.
A four-hour battle took place at Veg
uloo, In which the French lost four
killed and twenty-eight wounded. The
Chinese loss was heavier. After the
Chinese retreated. the French forces
were DIVIDED into four expeditions
which pillaged and burned many vii
lagos on their march back to the sea
shore. Several mandarins surrendered
to prevent the burning Of their towns.
They are held rs hostages to prevent
retaliation by the natives.

Capt. Fersen, who Ii m expert in

he would recommend that the Russian
government purchase enough Of these
lights to equip the Russian navy, and
ordered one of the lights, which will
be shipped to Russia at once. The

Denver, Jan. 15.-The Rocky Noun
tain News says: Frederick q Bonnls
and Harry H. Tammen, propretors of
the Post, were shot Saturday by At
torney w. w. Anderson. The affair
occurred about 11:46 o'clock In the
private office Of the paper. Mr.. Bon
Ills condition is serious. No fear ID
expressed for Mr.. Tammen unless COM
plications should ensue. Attorney An
derson was placed under arrest, but
was released. Bond was fixed at
$4,000.
The shooting was the result of an al
tercation regarding the conduct Of Mr..
Anderson In connection with the
Packer case. Attorney Anderson was
accused Of questionable transactions
and blows followed. Then came four
shots. The attorney walked from the
room. Tammen and BOnflls were ly-
ing on the floor and Polly Pry, the 9TH
er occupant Of the apartment, was try
Ing to help the injured men.
Tammen was shot In the shoulder
and through the left wrist. Bonfils
received one bullet In the left breast.
1t tore around rib and stopped in the
middle of the left side. whence 1t was
removed by the doctor. Another ball
entered the left side of the neck and
cut downward and backward, lodging
In a position whence 1t could be fol-
lowed by probing only at great risk. 1t
is supposed to be In the back, just be-
hind the left lung. Whether 1t will be
cut for or not depends entirely upon
symptoms of trouble arising from Its
location.
1t is asserted that Anderson pro-
cured SIS from packpr ..tha man
eater" In the penitentiary at Canon
stakeholder and director of the Post.
For this he was taken to task by the
proprietors of the paper.
Warden Hoyt OF the state peniten-
tiary said to a News reporter last
night that Anderson mad long talk
with Packer at the penitentiary Inst
Wednesday and obtained $25 from
Packer toward payment for services In
endeavoring to get him released from
imprisonment. The warden was in
and out Of the office during the CONVEX
sation between the two men, but heard
little Of 1t.
Yesterday Packer told Warden Hoyt
that Anderson distinctly claimed to be
a stockholder Of the Post and that he
thinks Anderson claimed also to be a
director Of the Post company.
The stories of the shooting as told
by the persons in the room differ wide
".
Anderson claimed that he was beaten
by 'cammen and Bonfils and then shot
them. 1t is certain that he was struck
in the face several times. Tammen
states that Anderson was the ag-
gre6sor.
