POLICE USE PHOTOS IN
HUNT FOR F|vE-TOED HENS?
Perhaps Not, but Farmer-Victim
Thinks Bertillon System Should
Be Adopted.
PICTURES TO OFFICERS

If you are a fancier of chickens, game and
otherwise. and happen to hear someone
prowling around the henroost during the
night do not be alarmed
1t is a policeman searching for the miss
ing chickens of William \. Stolts, who lives
west of the city.
His collection OF poultry is minus several
valued specimens.
The police have been furnished with pic
lures of the chickens by the owner. which
every officer has carefully scanned. They
are all striving earnestly TO find them.
Murder cases have lost all charms for de-
tectives. They are busy hunting chickens.
Bicyclemen on their many runs, frequent
alleys and pursue innocent fowls in an
effort 10 find the lost ones.
Stolts lost four Houdan chickens and
two White Plymouth Rocks. The Houdans
are very valuable, having five toes on each
foot aud several other distinctive features.
A reward has been offered for their re-
turn The chickens had not been located
late this morning and IL is feared that
some person. unable to appreciate the finer
points of the five-toed birds, had them for
dinner yesterday.

JOKES AND SOLID SHOT
DISPENSED BY RUSSIANS
Merry Quips and Shells "Heaved'
at the Jananese Fleet by the
Tars of the Novik.
ALL COOL AS ICEBERGS

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. "a Russian
correspondent of the Associated Press at
Port Arthur. cabling under yesterday 8
date. describes the combat between the
Russian cruiser Novik and the Japanese
squadron following the attempt of the
Japanese TO bottle up the Russian feet In
Port Arthur on Feb. a as follows:
THE Novik, impetuously bearing down
on the enemy was observed TO fire on the
Japanese flagship, and she then immedi-
ately opened fire with all her batteries.
The Japanese answered with a running fire.
The guns of our squadron thundered and
the batteries OF the forts roared. The bat
tie had begun.
1.-The Novik, going at full speed. did not
give the enemy a chance TO aim, but flew
by. her bow guns belching forth solid shot.
Then, turning at full speed, she shOwered
him with shells from her stern batteries.
THE Novik was in the very midst of the
enemy's fire, and shells Kissed past and
fell close by, raising tremendous columns of
water. That's what you call serving guns.
1.-The officers remained cool and calm.
The firing proceeded without the least con-
fusion and was seasoned with that humor
which never deserts a Russian even I'm mo-
ments of terrible danger. With the ac-
compartment OF the whistling shells were
heard the witty remarks of the gunners.
One stoker could not help running on deck
to see what was going on. Approaching
the ammunition storekeeper, this stokeT
took shell and handed it to a gunner
with the words God bless it, adding send
them back with my compliments
The NoVik continued maneuvering, al
ternately approaching the enemy and with
drawing until she received an injury to
her stern. One gunner was killed.
Still energetically sustaining her fire
the Novik turned to the shore. At this
moment a column of fire and smoke was
noticed on the Japanese flagship. After
that the Novik returned to her dock"

EX-PRESIDENT KRUGER
SLOWLY DYING IN EXILE
General Viljoen Says Dom Paul's
Mind Is Rapidly Giving Way
Under Strain.
MISFORTUNE THE CAUSE

ST. LOUIS, Feb. PA letter received by
Gen. Benjamin Vhjoen, formerly of the
Boer army. announces that former Presi-
dent Kruger, of the Boer Republic, is slow
ly diving an exile at Mentone, France.
and that DIR. Reitz, state secretary under
President Kruger, is also an exile in Holland
and constant sufferer from nervous pros
tration.
General Viljoen said: MY information
regarding Kruger comes from a member of
his household. His mind is failing rapidly;
his health is very poor and il is apparent
to those close to him that the end is ap-
preaching. He lives In almost entire Sc
clusion and rarely converses with anyone.
His compatriots applied unsuccessfully to
the British government for permission for
his return TO South Africa to spend the
last days of his life IN his native country.
Mr.. Kruger is eighty-one years of age.
AT the beginning of the Boer war he was
perfect in health and sound of intellect.
Our defeat seems TO have shattered his
ambition and the loss OF his wife and
youngest son has left an unbeatable wound
in his heart"
