call
ST. Petersburg, June 16.-The result
Of the battle at Vafangow which has
now been in progress for three days is
awaited here with breathless interest.
The losses on the Russian side, more
than 800 on Tuesday. show the fighting
has been of q desperate character.
Kuropatkins report this morning
proves both armies are determined to
force matters to a decisive issue. His
yesterday afternoon, but stopped at the
most critical point of battle, when
Stackelberg, was making an effort to
turn his right wing by similar move
around Nozu's left flank. The opera
tons leading up to the battle date back

sions, one commanded by General Nozu,

court has this under advisement. '"The
order ought to stand just as it is" said
Warden Jones yesterday THE pris-
oners are required to sign an agree
ment on being paroled that in case they
violate the parole their good time Is all
Cancelled. 1t Is a salutary way OF keep
ing them good. / hope the supreme
court viii reverse the case from Ana
mosa."
IF the court does not interfere Frank
Shercliffe will serve something over
two years yet continued Warden
Jones. He forfeited his good time on
being returned. Otherwise he will get
out next fall. But Sherciffe has al
ways been good prisoner. He never
gave US any trouble when he was with
us before. His hold used to be in
slipping away from officers when
caught, but the Kansas City people
fixed him in that regard. He was shot
thru the foot and was in the hospital a
year and a half He has to use cane
now We had him at work in the tailor
shop for a time, but put him back on
his old job with saw. Shercliffe is
quite joker. and even behind the bars
men have their fun sometimes. One day
Shercliffe was working In the tailor
shop, and he offered a negro convict a
chew Of tobacco IL he would dance for
him. The negro could get behind a
door, where the shop guard couldn'.
see him. but Shercliffe could. He start
ed in and did the double shuttle. nauca
to the delectation of Shercliffe. There
was so much noise of machinery that
he was not heard. But one Of my men
passed along and caught him at it, and
the negro went to the solitary. He took
his punishment good naturedly, but
think that Frank Shercliffe had more
fun out of 1t than anything that has
happened to him in a long time"
