HILLsRoRo PosToFFIcE IS
ROBBED BY TWO STRANGERS

up to 2 o'clock this afternoon. though
Sheriff Connell, Deputy Sheriff Kane

chase.
Hanging around the machine shops
here last night were two unknown men,
one of whom was a large man with
black mustache. The night watchman
was the one who saw them. and he told
them to move on. They said they
would. 1t Is supposed these are the
safecrackers, who neglected to move
on until they had made thousand
dollar "raise."
Entrance to the postoffice was made
through back window. Although two
men were sleeping In the building. one
of them not much more than rs feet

happened between o'clock and day.

but 1t is thought they would leave their
horse and buggy some distance out of
the city and try to make their way
on foot by an unfrequented route.

KuRoPATKlN AT MukDEN.
Japs' Last Attack on His Army Was
Made Tuesday.


Made Tuesday.
st. Petersburg. Sept. 10.-It seems to
be definitely established that Field
Marshal oyama's tired troops aban-
doned on Wednesday the attempt to
head off General Kuropatkin, whose
army has arrived safely at Mukden aft
er frightful experiences floundering
through mud and mire over Manchur-
Ian roads.
II is evident that the last determined
effort of the Japanese to bring Kuro-
patkln to bay was on Tuesday, but the
Russian commander-l faced
about and two corps, with artillery,
beat off the Japanese. while the re-
mainder of the troops continued to
march to Mukden. After that the jap
anese could only hang on the hanks
and try to shell the retreating columns
from the hills. The outposts are still
In contact, but they are not even ex-
changing shots.

LOSSES WILL REACH $1,000.
Battle Of Lao Yang Results In Death
OF Large Number.


Mukden, Sept. (via Pekin, Sept 81
"A correspondent OF the Associated
Press who has just returned to Muk-
den with the rear Russian guard, aft
er having accompanied the army the
whole time since the battle Of Lao
\ Yang, says the losses on both sides
were enormous. As n moderate esti-
mate he placed them at $4,000. He
confirms the report that the fghting
at Lao Yang recalled In fierceness the
sanguinary battles OF the American
civil war. General Kurokl's flank
moveemnt east Of the Russian position
precipitated the retreat from Lao
Yang.
When the Russians left Lao Yang
the town was strewn with corpses OF
the slain. The Japanese shell fire con-
tinued until September I, when the
bridges over the Taitze were destroyed.
The Russians position at Liao Yang
were too extended for their army TO
hold. The greater portion OF the RUS
sian forces crossed the Taitze during
the night OF September 2 and engaged
General Kuroki with two corps. The
lighting ON the first day was favorable
to the Russians, but the conditions
changed at night time. The Russian
infantry suffered heavily from shTap-
mel and rifle fire. The fighting was
continued September 3, and September
4, the Russians successfully protecting
the east side of the railroad

MEGLER FOR LOWER HOUSE
Heads Ticket Named Yesterday
by Republicans at Cath
Iamet-BrOOkfield Man
for Sheriff.

Cathlamet, Sept. 9.--(SpeciaL) The
republicans OF Wahkiakum county,
Washington. met In convention today az
Cathlamet and named a complete coun-
ty and Legislative ticket. The republi-
cans Of old wahkiakum have met here
tofore and named tickets, but never be-
fore have they named Hon. J. Bruce
Polworth. Today. however. they select
ed him as their candidate for attorney.
In the past J. Bruce has been great
and good democrat. He has been nom
mated time and again for prosecuting
attorney, and usually has been success
full But now he is In the republican
camp. and the republicans expect to
see him out on the stump for the who,e
ticket.
J. G. Megler. now senator. was NOM
mated for representative. his selection
being unanimous. The nomination for
sheriff went to Brookfield man. c.
w. Flanders. DR.. E. C. Linton, who Is
Ifeputed to be a resident of Seaside
Ore, was nominated for coroner. He
has been here for few months while
DR.. Bales was away.
But these little circumstances pale
into insignifcance beside the nomina-
tion of J. Bruce Polworth. He had
come to be known as the democratic
sage of wahkiakum county, Wash, and
had expounded the doctrine OF the par
ty with all the eloquence and energy at
his command. At the recent county
democratic convention. however party
leaders laid him on the shelf, and the
ever-alert republicans have taken him
into the fold. He has not yet accepted
the nomination. but is expected to do
so. Mr.. Polworth has lately become
member of the new law firm of Smith
Bros. & Polworth, Astoria, but it is
understood he is to reside here for
some time to come.
The ticket nominated today was as
follows:
Representatives. G. Megler Of
Brookfield.
Treasurer-David West of Cathlamet
Clerk-Clarence B. White of Cath
iamet.
sherifr-charles W. Flanders of
Brookfield.
