Near Ty Ty, while Romy Williams
was away at work, Mrs. Williams went
a little distance for some wood, leav-
ing her child, about one year old, sit
ting in the door,
Returning, her attention was attract
ed by the child's cries, and she was
Mortified to see a large hog seize the
child by the arm and run off with
1t.
She attempted to follow, but was so
overcome that she was in half-faint-
ing condition A lady living a short
distance away, attracted by her cries,
followed the hog, and by strenuous eff
forts rescued the child
When overtaken the animal was fe-
rociously tearing the childs clothing
with it's teeth in an effort to get at it's
breast.
The child was severely bruised
about the head and face and it's arm
lacerated, but there are no serious
injuries. The animal was later fol-
lowed and shot.

ers and fourteen quick-fring field
guns The Russians retreated hastily
to the northwart.
The Japanese charge that the Rus
slams violated the Japanese flag. Ger
tain officers aver that during the fight
ing body of Russian soldiers appear
ed carrying Japanese flag, and that
the japanese artillery, deceived by
the flag, ceased firing upon that par
ticular body OF Russians Official dis
patches from the Japanese command
ers made specific charges of this flag
violation.
Early estimates of the Japanese
losses at Telissu say that 1000 men
were killed or wounded. The Japan
csc attacking force was divided into
right and left columns and began the
advance on Tuesday along both sides
of the railroad. They encountered the
Russians east of Vafangou and drove
them back. At a late hour in the af-
ternoon the Russians held a line be-
tween Lung-Wang-L and Ta-Fang-
Cheng. The Japanese artillery open
ed on this line and the Russians re-
sponded.
The Smelling continued for two
hours, and it was followed by the ad-
vance of the Japanese line to a posi-
ton extending from Lung Chatting
to Yu-Hotun. Darkness put an end
to the fighting The Japanese dis
patched column to the westward to-
ward Fu-Chau for the purpose of COW
ering the Russian right wing and to
protect their left and rear.
During the night it became apparent
that the Russians were being rein
forced, and it was decided to make a.
general attack in the morning and
force the Russians into defile back
of Telissu.
The Russians in this position were at
a disadvantage, but they held it until
o'clock in the afternoon. At this
hour they were routed. fine cavalry
continued to pursue the enemy and
probably inflicted considerable punish
ment.
The japanese commander makes no
estimates of the Russian losses, but
says they probably were great.
When morning came it was discov-
cred that the Russians held a line
extending from Ta-Fang-Shen to
Cheng-Tsu-Shan with force estimat-
ed at over two divisions.
While the main Japanese force was
moving north along the railroad, col
umns were swung to the left and 90
the right, and finally converged at
noon on the main Russian position,
