SWEPT OUT TO SEA.
Three Families on Canal Boats Set
Adrift by Storm.

New York. Oct 12-While a heavy
storm which broke during the night
was at its height three coal laden ca
nal boats, each with family on board
tore loose from their moorings in East
river and swept down through Hell
Gate, passed Blackwell island and into
the wider stretch of river where all
trace of them was lost. Thei%Drogress
help from those on board the little
craft, but the swift current in the river
soon carried them far out toward the
bay. The police after
other craft to go to the rescue of the
imperilled boats notified the various
ferry lines, the fire boats and railroad
tugboat lines to watch for them.
The combined effect of wind and tide
produced an unusually strong current
down the river. Tugboats under full
steam found it almost impossible to
make progress up the river.

HOLDING THEIR OWN.
Japanese Even Advance Slightly in
Vicinity of Yentai.

st. Petersburg, Oct 12-12:37 P. M
The battle below Mukden continues to
rage along the entire front, and ac-
cording to Gen. Kuropatkin's latest ad-
vices, sent last night, after the fight
ing of the day had ended, the Japa-
nese We're stubbornly holding their
own, offering a desperate resistance,
and had even advanced their positions.
After an all day fight above Yentai,
where the Russians sustained their
first check the Japanese still held that
not engaged, the artillery bearing the
brunt of the fighting. The japanese
stuck to their guns and the Russian
batteries were unable to diSlodge them.
According to the adViceS received by
the war office here the Japanese hold
entrenched lines extending in a semi
circle north of Yentai railroad station
enormously reported to have been cap
tured by the Russians Thence they
have a series of arcs covering the Yen
tai branch railroad including the mines
where their lines run southeast toward
the Taitse river thus enclosing the
gle of their main position. Gen. Ku-
ropatkin's right seemingly is carrying
out a strong 1anking movement east
ward, as reported by the CORRESPONDENT
taidze, but whether it is intended to
push it home or whether it is only a
feint to cover an ultimate attack
against Field Marshal Oyama's left has
not yet developed The latter view is
held by many officers here, who believe
that Kuropatkin's purpose is to crum-
pie up the Japanese left, push them off
eastward from the railroad and then
carry the Japanese triangle, compel
them to retire in the direction of the
Yalu river, thus clearing the way
through Mao Yang for possession of
the railway southwark and possibly
enabling Kuropatkin to relieve Port
Arthur which as announced in the Rus
ian generals order of the day, is his
main objective. Still the best inform
ed members of the general staff are in
clined to think that the strategy of the
battle must depend on the manner in
which the engagement develops. 1t is
pointed out that in the event of defeat
which Kuropatkin must constantly
bear in mind since the Japanese then
will doubtless try to push through

LickIyer, accused of selling whisky to
an Indian, was tried here in the fed

raised that the Indian had received
his allotment of land from the gov
eminent, that the Indian sold this land
and was now a citizen of Kansas and
not in any sense a ward of the gov
eminent. Long arguments followed
and Judge Pollock finally held that
the point was well taken ana Lick
lyer, who lives in Jackson county, was

SOMEWHAT UNUSUAL.
Case In Which Ordinary Proceedings
Are Reversed.

From Saturdays Daily.
When the district court began it's
session this morning the cas- OF the
Billings Land and Irrigation company
VS.. Elmer G. Summers and others
was taken up. Presentation of it at
forded the somewhat unusual proceed
ings of a defendant making the open
ing statement to the jury and pre-
senting his side Of the action first.
The suit had its origin in condemna-
ton proceedings brought by the land
and irrigation company against a num-
Der of land owners up the valley
across whose holdings right OF way
was sought for the construction OF 4
canal. A board of appraisers was ap-
pointed by the court, who fixed
the amount of damages each OF the de-
PENDANTS sustained by reason of the
appropriation of his land. The award
was not satisfactory in all cases and
the dissatisfied ones brought suit.
These were settled before they could
be tried, that is all, except the one
now in hearing. William Harrison
is the only one who concluded to
fight the matter to a conclusion, the
company refusing to pay him the
amount in which he claims to be DAM
aged through the loss OF a strip OF
land across his ranch, the removal OF
a chicken house and the destruction
OF a number of shade trees.
Little difficulty was experienced in

Local Farmers Institutes Postponed
Until Later in Season.

Until Later in Season.
From Fridays Daily.
This was the date set for holding
the farmers institute meetings a.
Canyon Creek and Shiloh school
houses. Because of the smallpox
scare it was decided a day or two ago
to postpone them until later in the
season, as also the meeting that was
to have been held in this city tomor-
row.
The decision was not arrived at in
time to prevent the arrival of some of
the instructors. Professor Linfield
was reached by telephone at Living
ston early this morning and returned
to Bozeman on the Burlington train.
Professor Elrod and T. T. Black, the
former of the state university and the
latter of Whitehall, were there at the
same time, but concluded to come on
and spend a couple of days in Bill
ings. Sunday morning they will leave
for Carbon county, where institutes
will be held at several places next
week. From there they will return
and proceed to Forsyth, then to Miles
City and next to Glendive, in each OF
which towns institutes are advertised.
