M0R0S FIGHT
They Lose in Two Engage.
ments With Our
Troops.

Manila, April 22.-Two engagements
have been fought between the American
troops and the Moros of the island of
Mindanao in the last twenty -four hours.
Moore, of the Twenty seventh infantry,
while out with a small party hunting for
water, was fired upon at long range. Lieu
tenant Colonel Frank D. Baldwin, with
battalion of troops and a mountain gun,
went to the assistance of Moore's party
and drove off the Moros, who lost seven
men, The firing was at LOO yards range.
The Moro villages were flying red flags,
meaning that they intended to fight to the
utmost. Sultan Pualo and a force of ma
tives afterward attempted to reoccupy the
ground gained by the Americans, but were
forcibly dispersed.
Datto (chief) Ganasi has sent delega-
tion to the American commander. ten

jamestown, n. D., April 22.---The fierc-
est Aoril snow storm ever known in this
section began this morning at 80 o'clock
and at noon was increasing in fury. 1t is
estimated that over foot of soft snow
has fallen. The snow is drifting and
railroadstraffc is at a standstill except
for through passenger trains on the
Northern Pacific. Efforts are being made
to get freight trains upon side tracks,
there to wait until the storm abates.
Wedge snow plows have been ordered out
and efforts are being made to prevent
drifts from becoming too large and to
keep the track ooen Should the snow
continue the rotary plcWs will be sent
out.
The east-bound way freight was stalled
for several hours near Spiritwood but the
crew finally succeeded in getting it out
of the way Of the passenger train which
was delayed several hours.
The weather is not cold and it is not
thought there will be any loss o: life.
1t is feared the spring lambs and young
cattle may suffer some where not In
barns The storm is worst between Buf-
| falo and Dawson and will give seeding a
great setback.
It is feared that the great amount Of

STICKS TO

Mrs. Gallehugh Recalled to

d When Judge Simpson convened his court
this morning to proceed with the Gale
hugh murder trial. Mrs. Gallehugh was re-
called for cross examination by County
Attorney Boardman. The latter sought to
break down the wonlan's testimony re-
lating to Collins assault in the laundry.
She sustained her story very we'll.
In answer to Mr.. Boardman's queries al
to why she did not report the Occurrences
to her employer, Mr.. Schomberg, she re-
piled that one Of the girls to whom she
told her story advised her to say nothing.
She admitted that she had seen her hus-
pand after the alleged assault, but had
no opportunity to tell him Of the at
tempted outrage at thattime.. While anx-
.lous to leave the place she deemed it best
to remain until consulting with her hus-
band. -. =

she talked with Collins after the affair in
the Laundry, but only when compelled 10

her duties compelled her to remain in the
Kitchen all the time and to take orders
from Collins.
Insists There Was Knife.
Cross examination relative to the
tragedy itself failed to shake the woman's
story as given yesterday afternoon. The
knife was described again as big, wood
en-handled butcher-knife. The witness
was familiar with this knife, as it was
used daily by Collins at the serving table.
The woman illustrated how Collins had
held the knife. His hand was raised,
about as high as the shoulder and the
knife was held as if it was dagger and
the negros intention. was to stab. It did
not fall to the floor until after the Sec
ond shot.
After the shooting the woman ran into
the servants hall adjoining She looked
into the kitchen but did not enter it
again. Among those she saw. in there
was Arthur Parks. one Of the colored
walters who she believed was the first one
! to. enter the room.

the shooting and the incidents preceding

had croucked somewhat and looked

SAFEST PLACE ON EARTH.

Railway Trains In an 81
Entire Year. 'i,s,

The board of trade returns of rail-
way casualties, in the United King.
dom during 1901 show that in the
course Of that year out of the mill
lions and millions of passengers
whirled along behind the iron horse
not single one met his death through
an accident to train, reports the
London Telegraph. And it speaks
eloquently for the arrangements of
the companies, the care and skill
of their servants, and the soundness
of their material that this record, as
it is, should beaestablished at time
when services are fuller, speeds
faster and travellers more numerous
than at any previous time since
George Stephenson's great invention
wasPut to general public use. It is
that some persons were killed and
many injured, but not one of the
former was a passenger, and the
number of the latter was about 400
short Of the corresponding figure for
1900. To be exact, during last year
accidents to trains, rolling stock,
permanent way, ETC., were RESPONSE
bic for the deaths of eight railway
servants and three persons other
than passengers, and for injuries to
q total of 637, out of whom 476 were
members of the public.
1t is evident that if one is going
to have anything at all to do with
railways, one is safest in train
that is on the move, for in the course
of the year 1873 passengers were killed
and 1860 injured by falling between
carriages and platforms, getting into
or out of compartments, tumbling on
to the lines or crossing them at in
appropriate moments, or in other
ways that could easily have been
avoided by the exercise Of little
care and prudence. All casualties
whatever on railways or the premises
appertaining to them, including those
affecting employees, caused the deaths

MEETING WITH ANACONDA.
Thrilling Experience of New York
Lawyer In Passing Through
the Amazon Valley.

A Kew York lawyer, who has trav;
eled great deal, had an encounter
with an anaconda, which, according
to- the Post, he describes as follows:
II was riding ahead of my party
along narrow road in the Amazon
valley. My mount was large white
mule. whose only ambition in life
seemed to be to bite and kill every.
one he encountered. I do not know
but what he was more dangerous
quadruped than any of the wild ami
mails in the Matteo crosse. On either
side of the road rose the forest. Tie
branches of the trees met here and
there overhead, SO that the thorough
fare looked more like verdant tun-
mel than a country road. Suddenly
my mule stopped, dropped his ears
and turned his head about. Think
ing that this was evidence of a de-
sire on his part to bite my leg, l
was about to whip him when I no
ticed that he was shivering all ovcf
in an ague.
II looked up and down the road,
and then shivefed. Not more than
60 feet away a huge snake, half-coiled
around a bough which projected over
the road, lay swinging and looking
at me with a glare that was not at
all assuring. had left my rifle be-
hind on a baggage mule, and had
nothing with which to fight save a
huntingknife. I drew this prompt
~ from the scabbard, and, with the
courage worthy of a better cause,
used it as spur upon my luckless
steed, which turned and galloped for
dear life in the opposite direction.
II reached my party, got the rife
and with my men galloped back to
secure the. constructor. The reptile
and must have had the same bran.l
OF bravery. He had dropped from the
bough and vanished in the recesses
Of the Jungle"
