van AT Seaside. Friday afternoon, was
brought 10 the city yesterday by Sher-
In Linville and taken before Justice
Goodman to answer to charge OF as
sault and battery. Moody entered
plea OF guilty and was fined $50. which
he paid Immediately. Sullivan. II is
understood. will also be arrested ar
soon as he RECEIVERS from the effects
of his wound and will be arraigned for
assault and battery. Moody declared
to the court that he was pleading guilty
merely to bring the matter to a sud
den termination. and not because he
believed he was morally TO blame for
the shooting affray. sullivans wound
Is trivial and ne win be out again in
a day or two. Just why he did not
use his gun does not appear, and It is
somewhat surprising that he permitted
Moody TO fire at him without return
Ing the fire.

something Of blow to a large num-
ber OF Lewistown people is that the

Plan Another Assault.

Mukden, Nov. 21, via Tien Tsin.-
Since the Japanese failed in the at
tack which they made on Poutiloff
hill, Nov. IS, the old order of affairs
has been resumed.
There are frequent skirmishes, par
ticularly in the vicinity of the Russian
center, where both sides have daily
clashes.
There was an exchange of artillery
fire during the greater part of Nov. 20.
1t appears that the affair of Nov. Is
was reconnaissance in force and
that, had it been successful, it was to
be followed by general attack. The
Japanese got within 80 PAGES of the
Russian outer positions before being
driven back.

Suicide Is Proven.

today that Jacob Ralston. brother
of the state senator from this county.
was not murdered. as was supposed
when his dead body was found Fri
day night in his cabin on the head
waters of Sun River. All evidence
how goes to show that he committed
suicide. and knowing that his father
was on his death bed in Chonteau and
that his mother was very feeble, he
cndeavored 10 make II appear that he
had been murdered. believing that this
would be easier for them 10 bear than
the knowledge that their son was a
suicide. The coroner's jury today re-
turned a verdict of suicide and this Is
accepted as correct by all who have
investigated the case.

on their left and center. presumably
with the intention of attacking, and a
renewal of fighting is expected today.
reports given out at st. Petersburg
regarding the situation at Port Arth-

effect that the garrison may be ex-
pected to hold out until the arrival
of Vice Admiral Rojestvenskys squad

but his injury is not sufficient TO pre-
