EASY VICTORIES
FOR JAP ARMIES

LONDON, June 29.-The dispatch from
General KUropatkin and one received by
the japanese legation comprise all that
is known Of the occupation of the Man
churian passes by the japanese.
II is regarded as doubtful, indeed,
whether the legations dispatch refers
to the same operation mentioned by
General Kuropatkin. Owing 10 the in
adequate available maps and the vaga-
ries in the spelling OF the names of the
places there is a great diversity of opin-

mistake to be made about it. But Ia,

BOGUS WOMEN BANDITS.
Held Up a Stage in Yellowstone Park
Just as a Joke.

OuSl dS q OSNCs
A report of a sensational holdup in
the Yellowstone National Park has
reached Livingston, Mont. A couple
of young ladies, one of them from New
York and the other a Helena girl, fig
ured as bandits. The whole affair was
a hoax, but this fact was not known to
the occupants of the stage, who were
relieved of their cash and other val
tables. The young ladies were camp
ing in the park with a party of friends
and arranged with the driver of the
stage to hold up him and his passen-
gers at a lonely place. The sham ban
dts attired themselves in regular out
law costumes and rode to the place
agreed upon. When the stage arrived,
at the point of rifles the driver was
commanded to stop and the passen-
gers, many of whom were men. were
ordered to line up at the roadside.
They did as commanded, and while
one of the bandits" covered them
with a rifle, the other went through
their pockets, securing all the avail
able cash and jewelry. When the
bandits had secured everything valu-
ables in sight, they pulled off their
false whiskers and other DISCUSSES and
gave the crowd the laugh. The valu-
ables were returned.-San Francisco
