CHICAGO, April 4.-Strange circum-
stances attended the removal from Chi
.cago tonight Of Mrs. Emma l.. Wat
son. a remarkable woman under in
dictment in Oregon for alleged frauds
in Government lands. Two revolvers
and a light pair of shackles formed
part of the equipment Of Deputy Mar
sshal Middleton, who had Mrs. Watson
in custody, as the result of informa-
ton received by secret service officials
that powerful friends of the woman
were plotting to attempt her rescue en-
route to Portland, Or. Mrs. Watson
was chic in appearance, from an ex-
pensively trimmed hat to the toes OF
her patent leather boots. A thick pur-
ple veil concealed her features. She
wore a tailor-made gown of rich blue
material Four diamond rings and nu-
merous single gems gave an added ap-
pearance of wealth to the fair prisoner
''I will tell my story in Oregon, net

service officers may have told too much
already for their own good.

SHANGHAI, April 4.-Japanese
scouts entered wiju, Korea. at II o'clock
this morning. The Russians apparently
retreated beyond the Yalu River
LONDON, April 5.-The Daily Tele-
graph in an editorial this morning says:
THE most significant military news
since the opening of the war has ar
rived Pushing northward in the last
few days with extreme rapidity and
driving the Cossack squadrons before
them. the Japanese have seized Wiju
and Yongampho, at the mouth of the
Yalu.
.aThe main masses Of their army are
pressing up toward this vital line, and
there is no longer doubt that when
few more days have elapsed the Japa-
nese will be in position to make at
any moment the most decisive moves
of the whole struggle. They will be
able to force the passage Of the from
tier river when they please and invade
Manchuria.
Then, and not until then, the real
grapple of the forces will begin In grim
earnest, and people who are signing for
big war news may hear within the next
two or three weeks of events big
enough to satisfy the most avid appe-
tite for sensation.
Japan, by the movement now re-
ported, has compassed one of the most
remarkable achievements in modern
political history. She has practically
swept Russia clean out of the whole
of Korea without anything that could
be called a blow. From the northern
frontier. by the wide estuary of the
Yalu to the straits, looking across to
the island empire itself, 600 miles away,
the Hermit Kingdom is in her hands
from end to end. Never has Nemesis
marched more swiftly on the retreating
track of fatal diplomacy Within eight
weeks from the opening of the war
Russia has lost-and, in our conviction,
irretrievably lost-the very object for
which she made war"
According to the Mails Kobe (Japan)
correspondent, who telegraphs under
date of April 4, a Pingyang dispatch
has been received there confirming the
report from Shanghai that Japanese
scouts entered Wiju, Korea, on Monday
morning and that the Russians ap
parently retreated beyond the Yalu
River, but no further news of any kind
is at hand throwing light on either land
or sea operations. Everything, how
ever, is regarded as pointing to the i'm
ninence of important developments.
The Nails Seoul correspondent, tele-
graphing on Monday. asserts that the
landing of japanese troops at Chenam-
pho has now ceased, but that the port
is guarded by large fleet and the
Japanese base has moved north from
Pingyang, where only a few troops
now remain.

UKIAH, April 4.-Frank Drake,
rancher, was murdered at Hollow Tree
last Friday night by an unknown per-
son. Drake and an Italian named Pen
tariff, who occupied the same cabin,
were preparing for bed when the door
was forced open and a man wearing a
woman's clothes and a heavy black
mask stepped inside, shutting the door
behind him.
The intruder covered Pentarrti and
commanded him to throw up his hands.
He then fired a shot over brakes head
because Drake, who was sitting at a
table, did not comply immediately
Drake grabbed the stranger and a
struggle ensued, during which Pen
tariff escaped and gave an alarm
Drake was found outside the cabin
He was badly wounded, but was con-
scious. He had been shot three times
in the abdomen and once in the thigh.
He did not recognize his assailant- He
died about an hour later.
The object of the attack probably
was robbery. as it was known that
Drake had several hundred dollars
which he carried on his person. Drake
stated before he died that the murderer
took s265.

LONG SERIES
Of MURDERS
AT ALMIRA
Mysterious Slayer
Claims Another
Victim.
Special Dispatch to Tn. Call.

SPOKANE, April 4.--Wrapped In
sheet and buried only foot below the
earths surface, the body OF E. E. Eng
lish was found about twenty miles
from Almira, Wash, to-day, and an
other mysterious crime has been devel-
oped which seems strangely connected
with a series of killings which have
aroused that town in the last three
years. No motive for the murder CT
English is apparent BY a remarkable
coincidence the finding of the body
came upon the anniversary of the
shooting of Charles Thennis near AL
mira one year ago. For the alleged
killing Cyrus Victor has been convicted
of murder and now awaits the action
of the Supreme Court.
1t was to the brother of Cyrus Victor
that E. E. English sold his ranch in
1901 and then mysteriously disappeared.
English had never been heard from,
and Frank Victor, who bought the
ranch said that when he last saw Eng
lish the latter was still upon the ranch.
The body was found near some springs
frequented by stockmen near the Vic
tor ranch.
When English sold his ranch to
Frank Victor, the consideration was
$1,000. Prosecuting Attorney Dye MAX
ing out the sale papers. 1t was then
reported that English intended return
ing to his old home in England Sheriff
Inkster says English was last seen
alive upon his ranch. The Sheriff says
he talked to a man who had offered
English $4,000 for his ranch, but was
refused. This was a year before the
sale was made to Frank Victor and
before land had risen in value in that
section.
In December, 1902, Judge Lewis and
his aged wife, who lived on a farm
few miles from Almira, were brutally
beaten to death in their home. This
crime was not discovered for several
days. The motive presumably was rob-
berry, as the house was thoroughly ran
sacked, yet when the officers reached
the scene the, small hoard of the aged
couple was found untouched.
Charles Thennis was shot to death
in his saloon at Govan, a short dis
tance from Almira, in April last. No
motive for the crime was ever discov-
cred, although there was talk that
Thennis had expressed his opinions too
freely about the murder of Judge
Lewis, saying he could find the muir
derers. For this crime Cyrus Victor
was convicted on circumstantial evil
dence.
Last fall Mrs. Northrup was shot and
killed in the same locality by James
Sanford. He was adjudged insane by
jury. but has never been committed
to an asylum.

BOYS COMRADES HANG
HIM TO LIMB OF TREE
Youth Sentenced to Death by Young
Incorrfgibles Is Cut Down in
Nick OF Time.

HOUSTON, Texas, April T. A
tragedy of a peculiar nature was al
most enacted on the big strawberry
plantation south of this city to-day.
Walter Pierce, aged IA, was accused by
his companions of having stolen
basket of luncheon The other berry
pickers organized a mock court, gave
Pierce a trial, found him guilty and
fixed his punishment at death. The
sentence was that he should be i'm
mediately hanged.
A rope was procured and the boy was
overpowered and strung up to a tree.
His cries early in the proceedings at
tracted attention and men arrived IN
time to cut him down, alive but un-
conscious.
John Gilmore and two others who
were leaders in the attempted execution
are under arrest. There is much in
dignation over the affair and all of the
participants are to be vigorously prose-
cuted
