Report from Kuropatkin.
St Petersburg, Nov. 2S.-Gen. Kuro-
patkin under Sundays, date reports
that the Japanese offensive movement
which began November "a near the viii
lage of Tsinkhachen on the front OF
the left flank. was of an indecisive
character up to p. m. November &c
and was checked by the Russian fire.
Although the fighting had then lasted
three days the Russian troops were in
excellent spirits.

The Chinese now regard Kuropat-
kin and his machine with superstitious
awe. believing the latter to be an
atrociously powerful specimen of the
foreign devil"
M. Rayoir said: "The belief is
general at Mukden that Port Arthur
will hold out until relieved, no matter
how long the much-expected Russian
second Pacific squadron may take in
reaching the far east. Gen. Kuropat-
kin is not laxative. His only refer
ence to the war was: The war is pro-
crossing as | wish He still lives in
his railroad car and the light in his
Ofiice is burning night and day. It is
commonly stated that the general
never sleeps His officers are not sur
prised at being called to a conference
at any hour of the night. The gener-
ais only relaxation is at dinner time
when the officers who are his guests
number scores. Wine is plentiful but
Kuropatkin drinks mineral water.
Every Russian officer seems TO have
an unlimited supply of money, the gov
eminent being lavish in its eXpendi

defeated decisively and I think the
next battle will be Russian victory"

GUESTS SAVED
BY BRAVE GIRL
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CONDON, Or, Sept. 2O.-Miss Maud
Graham saved the guests in the crowd
ed Summit Hotel at 2:3O o'clock this
morning at the risk Of her own life.
She was awakened by the sound Of
cracking flames, and though time was
precious dashed through the house and
warned the sleepers of their danger.
The hotel was a wooden structure,
and when Miss Graham was aroused
she found the rear end of the building
in flames. Her room was directly over
the kitchen, where the fire originated.
Throwing a wrap over her nightgown
the intrepid young woman made her
way through the smoke-filled halls and
pounding on the door Of each room
reused the sleepers.
All the guests escaped, mostly in
scanty attire, for they took their res
cuer at her word and did not stop to
dress.

SCHOOL GIRLS
KILL BIG DEER

REDDING, Sept. 20.-Alva Curtis
and Ellen Stewart, schoolgirls, aged IL
and IL years respectively, killed a
large four-point buck deer Thursday
on Cottonwood Creek under peculiar
circumstances.
While out riding the Curtis girl en-
countered a deer drinking from the
creek. Her dogs took after the animal,
which stood at bay a minute, then
charged toward the girl, who was on
horseback. She became frightened
and galloped her horse to the nearest
house, that of ]. N. Stewart. Here
she told her schoolmate, Ellen Stew
art, of what she had seen. They
loaded a shotgun and went back after
the deer.
They found the big buck still held
at bay by the dogs. The deer stood
in a pool in the creek. Ellen Stewart
took careful aim, shut both eyes and
pulled the trigger. When the smoke
cleared away the girl were surprised
and delighted to find that the deer was
dead.

Secret Service Men at Oyster
Bay Arrest a Crank Who
Insists OH Seeing President
PRISONER is INSANE
Declares He Died in 1898
and Was Taken to the New
Jerusalem in Automobile

OYSTER BAY, L. l., Sept. 20.-A
man who is regarded by the secret SER
vice officials and by the authorities of
Oyster Bay as a dangerous crank was
apprehended here to-day. He is j. e.
Reeves, a medium-sized, roughly at
tired man, about 40 years Of age. He
was making his way to Sycamore Hill
when he was arrested. He told Of
f1cer Tyree, who apprehended him,
that he wanted to see the President on
important business. Believing from
the mans manner that he was insane,
Oliver Tyree took him before Justice
Franklin for examination. To the Jus
dce Reeves said that six years ago he
died in q Jersey City hospital and
went to heaven in an automobil
While there he received an important
message for President Roosevelt,
which he was directed to deliver per-
sonally. He refused to say what the
nature of the message was, as he de-
clared he could communicate it to no.
body but the President. He declared
to the Justice, however, that he had
written a book on his experiences in
heaven, which he desired to have
published, as he was satisfied millions
dent, he said, undoubtedly would join
with him in securing the publication
OF the work and that was one reason
why he wished to have a talk with
him.
Reeves, who talked as If he had en-
Joyed some educational advantages,
said he was a resident of Baltimore.
He had in his pockets 50 in cash and
some unimportant papers, but no
weapons.
Justice Franklin, after his examina-
ton, being convinced that the man
was insane and very likely dangerous
deputized one of the secret service
men to take him to Mineola. where a
formal inquiry into his mental condi-
ton will be held.
BALTIMORE, Nd, Sept. 20.-The
name Of ]. E. Reeves does not appear
in the Baltimore city directory and he
is not known to the local police.

fore United States Commissioner Hea-
cock upon reservoirs for the storage
Of potable water for municipal pur-
poses. The witness read from the tes-
timony Of c. E. Grunsky in the Drink
house case IN 1892. when the water
company attempted TO condemn four
teen and half acres Of land for the
purposes Of the Main Crystal Springs
dam. 500 feet above tide water. From
lIr- GrUnslzy's testimony the witness
deduced the fact that land for reser-
lofr purposes in that region was worth
$3.50 per acre. He said also that
The value Of such land would increase
in proportion as the expense Of i'm

He had not met a human being or

always the old blaze of the govern

Gals had run careless lines through
the country along the section bound
aries. These latter stated always the
section, the township and the range
east or west by number. All Thorpe
had to do was to find the same figures
on bis map. He knew just where he
was.

United States land Office in Detroit
He had set out for the purpose of
looking" a suitable bunch Of pine in
the northern peninsula, which at the
time was practically untouched. Ac-
cess to the interior could only be OBJ
tanned on foot or by river. The South
Shore railroad had as yet penetrated
only as far as Seney. Marquette, Me
nominee and a few smaller places
along the coast were numbering near at
home, but they shipped entirely by
water.
Thorpe, with the farsightedness Of
the pioneer, had perceived that the ex-
ploitation Of the upper country was an
affair of few years only. The north
would not prove as accessible as 1t
now seemed, for the carrying trade
would some day realize that the en-
tire waterway of the great lakes Of
fered an unrivaled outlet With that
discovery would begin a rush to the
new country. He resolved to antici-
pate 1t and by acquiring his holdings
before general attention should be turn
ed that way to obtain the best.
He was without money and practi-
cally without friends, while govern
ment and state lands cost respectively
$3.50 and SIPS an acre, cash down.
But he relied on the good sense of cap
italists to perceive from the statistics
which his explorations would furnish
the wonderful advantages of logging
new country with the chain of great
lakes as shipping outlet at its very
door. In return for his information
he would expect half interest in the
enterprise.
