WHOLE ARMY
WAS TRAPPED
Toxic is Wild With Excitement
Over News From Front.

Toxic, June 2s.-It is semi officially
announced here that the Japanese
have gained a sweeping victory in
Manchuri, practically crushing the
Russian army and cutting off the re-
treat of a considerable portion of it at
Hal Cheng, while it is regarded as
probable from the latest advices from
the front that Kuroki has taken Lao
Yang and entrapped pretty nearly the
whole of the Russian army. The news
has caused the greatest excitement
here on official confirmation and de-
tails of what is regarded as the decisive
battle of the campaign.
The reports, which are from appar-
emily reliable sorces, indicate that
Gems. Oku and Nodzu moved on the
Russians between Kai Chou and Ia
Chi Kiao, who had been heavily re-
inforced. The Russians were taken in
front and on the left flank and while
they made a determined resistance,
were unable to withstand the japanese
assaults.

Cotton Shows Up Well

Washington, June 2s.-The govern
ment bureau for the week says:
In most of the districts east of the
Mississippi river cotton has not made
a rapid growth, and is generally small,
although healthy and well cultivated.
Good growth, however, is reported
from Mississippi and portion of Ala
bama, and while lice are increasing in
the last named state, they are less
numerous in Mississippi and South
Carolina. West of the Mississippi the
advance of the crop has been more
rapid, good growth being generally
reported, and while some fields are
foul in portions of Texas, Arkansas
and Louisiana, the crop is generally
well cultivated.
The boil weevils are more numerous
in the southwestern, central, eastern
and coast districts.
Cotton in Texas continues to make
rapid growth and the plants are fruit
ing nicely. There is some complaint
of foul fields, but the crop is generally
in a fair state of cultivation. Boil
weevil continue to increase in num-
bers i'm the southwestern, central,
eastern and coast divisions and are do
ing damage in nearly all localities
where present.

A BIG FIGHT
AT Hal CHENG
Believed that Decisive Battle is
Being Waged at Hal Cheng.

Being Waged ut Hal Cheng.
Shan Kai Kwan, June 27-No doubt
is felt here that the battle which is to
decide this campaign in Manchuria, is
now being fought at and below Hal
Cheng. From New Chwang and Stu
Min practically the same story comes
of desperate fighting all the way from
Kai Ping to Hal Cheng. From these
reports it would appear that Stakel-
berg's corps has been cut off below
Ia Tche Kiao, and Kuropatkin with
the bulk of his army has gone south
from Hal Cheng to his relief. Kuroki
has got in behind Kuropatkin at Hal
Cheng and has also sent force esti-
mated at from 10000 to 10000 men
against the weakened Russian garri-
son at Lao Yang.

the streets here today that the Japan
ese have taken Hal Cheng after des-
perate and bloody battle, and that the
Russian army has been so badly beat
en- that it can not possibly take the
offensive until next spring at the ear

that heavy fighting has been going on
about Hal Cheng. 1t is believed by
army men here that Kuropatkin with
a considerable portion of his army has
been completely hemmed in by Kuro-

expected of his capture before many

JAP SETTLEMENT.
NOT MUCH DAMAGE is DONE
General oku Makes Report on Battle
at TeIissu- Many Of
Enemy's Dead.

London, June 3o.-6:29 p. m.--An
official dispatch from Toxic says the
Japanese consul at Gen San, Korea,
reports as follows:
early this morning, June 80, six
Russian torpedo boats, entered the
port, fired about 200 shots upon the
settlement, sank a steamship and sail
ing vessel, then rejoined their ships
outside the harbor and disappeared.
Two Koreans and two soldiers were
slightly wounded. The damage to the
buildings is insignificant"
The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1904-07-01

alleges that the plaintiff, Glib. A.
Lane, worked a confidence game or
defendant and procured her signature
through false and fraudulent represen-
tations; that said Glib. A. Lane at
said time was an officer OF this court,
towit: An attorney in good standing,
and from his position and relation to
this court was entitled to have the
confidence of his clients repOsed in
him; that so relying upon his reputa-
ton. from his official position, defend
ant became an easy victim to his
false, fraudulent and deceiving state
ments."
In conclusion it is reiterated that
defendant never received any consid-
Grafton for making the note, if she
made it. She asks that plaintiff be
given nothing and that the court rem
der judgment in her favor for the
costs.
Wants Change Of Venue.
Accompanying the answer is a no.
tice of a motion, as well as a motion
and affidavit for a change of venue.
The plaintiff asks to have the case
transferred to the district court for
Sweet Grass county. She says that
a number Of witnesses, all of whom
she names, r absolutely needed for
a proper presentation of her cas and
that they reside at Big Timber, and
is informed by her attorney and be-
lieves that she cannot safely proceed
with the trial of the action unless
they are in court and ready to testify.
Referring again to the claim OF
Lane, she declares that she employed
him only to appear at the preliminary
examination of her son-in-law, Domi-
nick Stevens, who was charged with
the crime of grand larceny, but did
not employ him to further look after
his case. She also alleges that Lane
did not appear in and took no part
in the trial of Stevens in the district
court; that she has at all times paid
her debts and is now able and willing
to do so; that she was not notified
until within the last year of the ex-
~istence of the note held by Lane, when
such notification was given her by her
agent, Thomas Kent.
It is further alleged that plaintiff is
not now a resident of the state Of
Montana.
A. G. Hatch of Big Timber appears
for defendant.

MRS. kENT's ANSWER. TO LANES
COMPLAINT.
SAYS He pRACTlCED DECEIT
Defendant Alleges Promissory Note
Sued on Was Obtained by
Fraudulent Means.

Fraud and Misrepresentation are al
legged in the answer filed today by
Mrs. Mary Kent to the complaint in
the action begun against her by Glib.
A. Lane, formerly an attorney at law
in this city.
The plaintiff is suing for recovery
on a promissory note for $500, which
he claims was executed by defendant
in his favor to ecure payment OF
a fee earned in a criminal case. The
note is said to be long over due.
Answer Is Spicy One.
AS her answer the defendant denies
every allegation contained in the com
plant, and as a defense alleges she
is a Crow Indian woman and is illit-
crate, being unable to either read or
write. She furthermore charges that
il she signed the note set forth in
plaintiffs complaint she signed it with
q cross and received no consideration
then o. thereafter for SO signing, and
that if she signed it at all it was
done by her because Of fraudulent and
false statements and representations
made to her by plaintiff with the in.
tent to defraud and deceive her.
The fraudulent representations al.
legged to have been made are said to
have consisted in part in his declaring
to her that she was signing a bond
or undertaking for the release OF one
Dominick Stevens, then under arrest
charged with the commission Of the
crime of grand larceny.

In Northern Korea.

pta
st. Petersburg, June 30.-Reports
from the Russian detachments operat-
ing in northern Korea have just been
received. Couriers bringing them
were delayed by bad roads. The dis
patches show that a Russian force
reached Gen San June s and engaged
the Japanese, inflicting losses. Gen
San was then held by 1900 Japanese
infantry, with artillery and 400 Korean
soldiers. The Korean soldiers are i'll
disposed toward the Japanese. Two
thousand Japanese infantry with artil-
lery are CHARTERED at Seoul, where
there are many hospitals and enor
nous stores of provisions and muni-
tions. Lieutenant General Linevitch
is expected here tomorrow. All is
quiet.
