WOULD HANG
TO SAVE HER
son In N-LAW
WOnal'S Confession
OF Murder Is
False.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CHEYENNE. Wyo., Nov. 27.-Mrs.
Nancy Richardson, a ranch woman of
Fort Bridger, Wyo., some time ago
confessed that it was she who shot
Mrs. Leona de Mars, a neighbor, who
was wounded during a fight over the
division of irrigation water last Au-
gust and died a few days ago. Mrs.
Richardson said she was prepared to
suffer any penalty, even death. Her
confession was made TO shield George
Renner, her son-ih-law, who is a
prominent ranchman of Fort Bridger
Renner, however. is now in Jail, pre-
pared to make a full confession, and
Mrs. Richardson has been discharged.
At the time of the fight it was sup
posed that Mrs. Richardson did the
shooting, but admissions of Renner
and his mother-in-law show that Rem
ner was disguised as Mrs. Richardson.
What gave the officers a clew was the
statement of the dying woman that
her assailant, although she resembled
Mrs. Richardson, threw stones at her
with the force and accuracy of a man
and his voice was distinctly masculine
Mrs. Richardson, ii is now learned
was secreted in the brush and wit
messed the assault. The crime shocked
all Wyoming and its surprising sequel
has caused a sensation.

Young Baker enlisted in the marine

knowledge or consent of his parents
and claims that while he was attached
to the cruiser Charleston, which was
lost on the rocks in the Philippines, he
was captured by the insurgent forces
while on shore leave on the island of
Cebu. He was held prisoner until jan
uary, 1900, when, with a view to es-
Gaping the barbarous treatment ac-
corded him by his captors, he was in
duced to take service with them, which
he did. he says, with the mental re-
solve that he would make his escape
to the United States forces at the first
opportunity.
He escaped six months later and gave
himself UP to the American officers
only to be arrested and court martialed
for treason. He was convicted and SEN
fenced to life Imprisonment.
Much interest has been aroused at
Somerset in behalf of the young man
and an effort will be made to have
Congressman A. F. Cooper take charge

Turn Kuropat-
kin,S Left.

LONDON, Nov. 27.-The Daily Tele-
graphs correspondent at Chefu hears
that many of Admiral Togo's vessels
are being docked and repairs are in
preparation for eventualities. The
same correspondent also gives a rumor
that the Japanese assault on Port Ar
thur has been repulsed with heavy loss.

scription Of a japanese attack on No
vember "a against a Russian detach-
ment near Esinkhetchen, on the front
OF the left flank.
THE fighting" General Kuropatkin
says, was fierce, almost amounting to
a bayonet engagement, but the enemy
was everywhere repulsed and suffered
severely. The attack was renewed the
following morning, the Japanese hav-
ing been reinforced, but again was re-
pulsed. and at o'clock in the after
noon a blizzard and fog greatly him
dered artillery fire. The Japanese con-
tinued to advance under cover of the
fog, but our forces held their posi-
tons and the firing subsequently slack
ened. The Russian losses were nine
killed and fifty-seven wounded.
ION November 26 the Japanese re-
sumed the offensive and endeavored TO
enveIop our left flank, while advanc-
ing against our center. have received

STEEL TRUST WILL OWN
RAILROAD TO SEABOARD
Report That 1t Would Build Line
From Chicago Apparently Is
Confirmed.

NEWCASTLE, Pa, Nov. 27.-The
story sent out from Chicago some days
ago that the United States Steel Cor
poration had decided to build a rail-
road of its own from Chicago to tide
water to carry it's products appears TO
have been more truth than poetry II
was announced to-day that the Pitts
burg, Bessemer and Lake Erie Rail-
road, which has surveyed it's line from
a point near Butler to this place, a dis
tance of thirty miles, is but the first
link in the chain which the big steel
trust intends to forge.
The plans were laid some time ago
and were carried on under cover of
the little excitement caused by the ru-
NOR that the steel trust would take
the Erie road for its own. 1t comes
out now that the trust never wanted
the Erie, but had all along figured on
having a line of its own.
Failure to get greater special reduc-
tions on rates for their product is the
cause given here for the building of the
new line by the Bessemer people, in
Guiding Carnegie and others interested
directly or otherwise in the big steel
trust.
