London, Aug. Additional details
of the Peitzang battle have been re-
sceived from one correspondent, who
says the advance was begun Saturday
morning. Late that afternoon large
bodies Of the enemy were met but they
retreated after a few shots from rifle
or cannon. The read fighting began
Sunday morning when crossing Pehio
bridge. The Chinese opened a deadly
cannon fire, many allies being killed
and wounded. American and British
artillery pushed ahead and engaged the
Chinese at close quarters. The enemy
fought with rare stubbornness despite
the fact that the allies guns were tear
ing great gashes in their; ranks. The
Russians are said to have attempted
to bayonet a number of prisoners taken
by the American marines. The Chi
nese casualties are placed at 1000.

WAS DRY BEFORE.

jamestown, Aug. In. w. English,
one of the old timers in the southwest
ern part of the county, reports finding
a government survey stake in the mid
die of lake bed, which had become
dry this year for the first time in at
least eighteen years. It was never
before known that the stake had been
there and the inference is that when
the surveyors were at work in that To-
cality the lake was as dry as now. The
pond has always been a deep one for

be cut around it owing to the water.
How long before the surveyors drove

be gained by an examination Of the

State Board Of Equalization Conyenes
at the Capitol and Organizes this
Morning.
Preliminary Figures Show Consider
able Increase in Values Over
Last Year.
Assessors Return More Property and
at Higher Value All Through
the State. .5$

The state board of equalization con-
vened at the capitol this morning
with Governor Fancher, State Auditor
Carlblom, State Treasurer Driscoll and, /,
Commissioner Thomas in attendance.
Attorney General CoWan is expected
to be present for the beginning of ac-
tive work by the board tomorrow
Governor Fancher is chairman Of the
board and Auditor Carlblom secretary
The customary oaths were admins
tered to the members of the board and
as abstracts from two counties, Ben
son and McHenry, were still missing,
the board adjourned until 2 o'clock
this afternoon.
Some preliminary figures from the
general abstracts of the counties show
that the assessed valuation Of property
through the state is much higher than.
last year. There have been large in.
creases in the assessment Of both real
and personal property by the asses
sors. Last year the total value of per-
sonal property as returned by the as
SCISSORS was 500, ,4s9, All. This year..
estimating the returns of the two coun-
ties missing, the total is about S24 ,5O0,-
600, an increase of over $4,000, 600.
The real property returned last year
was $685. ,62S. This year it is re-
turned at $71,20O,OOO, approximately,
an increase of over s.. 500, 900. The
total assessed valuation of property as
returned this year will be between
seven and eight millions greater than
the returns last year Then the board
found it necessary to increase the total
assessed valuation from about SSS..
100000 to 97,000,OOO This year the
property is returned at nearly the fig
ures to which the state board increased
it last year, SO that it is probable no,
such radical increase will be neces-
sary.
The work of the board today will be
principally a comparison of property
values and the discussion of estimates
OF the amount required for state pur-
poses during the ensuing biennial
period. With this established, the
board may proceed to fix values and
make the levy with a definite end in
view. .. $50 -

NEARLY. Al MURDER.

Pembina Pioneer Express: Monday
afternoon an assault occurred in a St.
Vincent saloon, that we'll nigh ter
minated the life of Charles Brown of
Pembina. The assault was committed
by John O'Grady Of the U. s.. custom
force station ait Warroad, but who was
home on a visit to his family who re-
side at st. Vincent. There are not
many particulars to the affair. Brown
and O'Grady had met in the saloon and
had a quarrel, but not of serious ma
ture, and had made UP and taken
drink together. Brown then went out
the back way, and on his return, with
out a word of warming, O'Grady struck
Brown with the butt end of a billiard
cue over the forehead, cutting a deep
cash and telling him to the floor.
Brown was put in a wagon and
brought to his home on this side,
bleeding profusely on the way, and put
in charge Of Dr.. Harris, who found it a
very serious case. Brown, however,
was doing fairly well on Thursday, but
a stomach trouble had set in that COM
.plicates matters very seriously.
sa Q Grady was put under arrest and
bail fixed at 81 800, which will be fur
nished. He has been customs officer
at st. Vincent for many years, and is
personally well liked. He lost his
job once or twice through his love of
liquor, but being related by marriage
to powerful political friends in st.
Paul, he has been reinstated by their
influence, on promise of good behavior.
He is not naturally quarrelsome, even
in liquor, and when sober is very gem
tlemanly. He has a wife and seven
children. Mrs. o Crazy is sister Of
M. Doran of ST. Paul. 1t is one Of
those many regrettable affairs for
which Whiskey alone is to blame

Napoleon, Aug. IA large cattle
shed, barn, granary, a stallion, some
fence and other valuable property on
the excellent Delaney ranch twenty
two miles east of Napoleon, was de-
stroyed by fire Sunday. The fire in
some mysterious manner originated in
the hallway of the horse barn in bed
OF trampled hay, and the flames spread
rapidly. Quite near to the north of
the barn is stacked about 400 tons of
hay, and but for the fact that the wind
was from a northerly direction at the
time the hay would have also gone up
in smoke. The loss to Delaney
Bros. is about 81 500, and no insurance.
w. L. Price, who is working at the
ranch, lost all his clothes. Mr.. and
Mrs. Brandt lost most all their bed
ding, of which they had a great and
valuable quantity, and their clothing.
