of the tracks. Engine 5O4, i'm charge
of Charles Derrybery was on the
main track. backing toward the east
to couple onto number of freight
cars.
At point about three hundred
yards seat of the depot, Munson,
it is presumed, started to cross the
track just in front of the moving
engine. The wheels Of the tender
caught him at once. He was car
ried about SIXTY feet by the DEATH
dealing wheels and then dropped.
The wheels passed over the stomach.
cut both legs OF and tore he feet
to pieces. Portions of the horribly
mangled body were scattered all
along the track for fifty feet. When
some of the yard men reached the
unfortunate man he was still breath
ing but unconscious. He lived per-
haps fifteen minutes after he fell
under the engine.

The coroner, DIR. X. Hanson. was
summoned. The man was Identified
by several as James Munson. He
has been working for a few days on
the ID. n X. G. ice gang, and it is
said is an old-time railroad man.
Prior to working ON the ice gang he
worked mt Palisade and at the smelt-
years of age and was an odd Fell

was a single man.
The deceased had but few ac-
quaintances in this city. On his per-
son few unimportant personal be-
Iongings were found by the coroner.
No one saw Munson when he met
death. Evidently he was giving the
moving engine no attention when he
stepped ON the track. The engineer
and fireman did not see him, as
the engine was backing.

tcrnoon.

They were annihilated by rifle fire

From November 81 to 23 the

Der 2S, General Stoessel says;
The 26th and 27th were the
bloodiest days in the assaults on
Port Arthur. The attacks began on
the night of the 25th against our
left flank, near Pigeon bay. The
first was repulsed with great loss to
the Japanese. The same night the
enemy attacked detachment on
Pan Lung mountain, but was re
pulsed. as also was their attack on
Visokala (203-Meter hilD.
"On the 26th the japanese began
to lombard and attack fiercely the
forts on the north front and ad-
vanced trenches. The trenches re-
peatedly changed hands. Neverthe-
less, on the night of the 2Gth we
threw back the Japanese at the
point of the bayonet. The enemy
succeeded in blowing up the para
pet of one of the forts and began
building parallels there. At another
fort on the same night they laid
sacks along the rampant, but our ar
tillery dispersed them. Toward 10
o'clock in the evening the Japanese
attacked a battery on our left flank
in considerable strength, and at first
