ings, showing that.the reserve men are

JAPS GATHER TO
PRESS LAO YANG

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. l0.-4:17
p. m The news received at the War
Office today indicates the concentra-
tion of the Japanese armies east Of
Simouoheng, which is interpreted as
showing the intention to press direct
on Liao Yang in an attempt to cut of
Anshanshan, which is half way be-
tween Hal Cheng and Liao Yang.
The Japanese advance on Mukden
does not seem to have developed SER
ious character, and according to the
general staff the way is still open, If
General Kuropatkin choose to with.
draw.
Rain again seemed to interfere with
the movements of the Japanese. A
continuance of the rains is considered
to be greatly to General kuropatkin's
advantage.
The latter's official report received
this afternoon confirms the dispatch
Of the Press from Sintsintin, of August
8, reporting fight near Tsiansohan.
The general also reports daily skirm-
ishing on the southern front.

who was accompanied by Miss Voris
of the same place. was driving home
from the Changers picnic on Friday
evening he met with bad upset be-
tween Mr.. Merrill's farm and the p.

The horse suddenly became unman-
ageable and began to rear and plunge.
the result being that the buggy was
turned over upside down with Miss
Voris underneath.
Neither the gentleman nor the lady
was injured, which is considered quite
remarkable. The horse was caught be-

Struck by a Circular Saw.

X. B. Bird, of Riverside, narrowly
escaped terrible injury in an accident
Tuesday while engaged in saving
wood near Rushtown.
Mr.. Bird had purchased large pile
of slabs at Jesse Hummer where a
tract of timber land had been cleared.
With portable saw mill installed as
sisted by Jacob Yeager of Riverside
he was engaged in saving the slabs in
to fire wood at the time when the ac-
cident occurred.
The saw was running at it's usual
rapid rate when the shaf6 worked loose
in the bearing. Mr.. Bird instantly de-
tected what had occurred and realiz.
ing his danger sprang backward. 1t
was this action which saved his life.
although he was not quick enough to
entirely escape the saw, which as it
worked wholly loose flew toward him,
striking him upon the breast aud pass
ing over the left shoulder.
Some idea of the mans narrow es-
cape can be formed when it is stated
that every tooth of the saw as it went
over the man left its mark upon HIM
by cutting deep into the flesh.
The injured man returned to River
side where lie was given surgical at
tention by DR.. Dewitt. 1t is consider
ed fortunate that the vital parts of
the body whore the saw struck were
protected by the ribs and other bones.
Had the contact occurred in the abb
dominal region the doctor stated there
would have been but little hope fol
the man. As it is his injuries are more
painful than serious, although the
narrow escape is by no means pleasant
to contemplate.
