for this kind of play. The tired

officials tried to get some light on the
question.
The rules say that a fullback cannot

MUKDEN, Oct. 15.-One of the blood
lest episodes of the desperate fighting
between the Shakhe River and Yentai
during the last three days occurred at
the village Of Endotiula, west of the
railroad, and on the neighboring
heights east of the railroad. The Japa-
nese had been driven out of these po-
sitions with terrible losses, but on Octo-
Der Is they concentrated such a mur-
derous artillery fire on the village that
it became necessary for the Russians
to withdraw, the railroad, however, be-
ing held.
The same evening the Russian com
mander gave imperative orders to re-
occupy Endotiula. The Zaraisk regi-
ment, without firing a single shot,
marched under cover of darkness and
bayoneted several battalions of the
japanese, many of whom died as they
slept. A few japanese escaped and
sought shelter in stacks of Chinese
corn, but the Russians, carried away
by the frenzy of revenge, rushed upon
the survivors and literally tore UP their
bodies with bayonets. The Russians
then rolled themselves in the japanese
blankets The next morning the Japa-
nese again shelled out the regiment,
while their artillery came on at a run
and secured position east of the rail-
road.
Again General Kuropatkin ordered
the Russians to retake the position
but the efforts of his troops were in
vain. The Russians could not reach
the japanese trenches, so withering
was the japanese fire. and only a few
returned where companies had
charged. The companies in some
cases were commanded by sergeants
after the officers had fallen. One Off
Ger, his face streaming with blood,
limped up to the general. who was
furious
Where is your company" asked
the general
This is all that is left Of it," re-
piled the officer. TT was like a
slaughter house"
The artillery fight on Wednesday
was the fiercest Of the war. The Jap
anese handled their guns superbly and
chose splendid positions. Their guns
seemed to have every range measured.
They would concentrate the fire of 200
guns first on one place and then on
another. Some Of the Russian regi-
ments were literally shot to pieces.
The bombardment reached a climax
at o'clock in the afternoon, when
the japanese tried to envelop and
break through the Russian left wing

AT THE RUSSIAN FRONT, Thurs
dav. oct. 13.-The japanese offensive
began on Tuesday along the whole
line. The heaviest work was on the
Russian extreme right. where the
fighting for the possession of Hau and
Tumin passes did not cease until mid
night The Russians succeeded in
capturing the latter, though at fearful
cost.
The position at Poltasautzi. still
further toward the Taitse River, held
by the Tomsk regiment, was furious

70 most Of their positions heroically
on Tuesday. except at the Schin River.
On the morning Of Wednesday the
Japanese renewed their attack, pre-
pairing the way for their infantry with
an artillery bombardment. At noon
the Russian right began falling back,
but the attack upon the Russian cen
ter and left weakened perceptibly. The
artillery fire slackened in the evening,
but the rife fire continued with little
intermission throughout the night.
The japanese to-day Thursday
renewed their attacks and the battle
proceeded with varying success, but
on the whole favorable to the Japan
csc. as the Russians continued to give
ground.

If the report is true General Kuropat-

Russians have taken the japanese in
flank and rear. One more effort, it
is asserted, and the japanese must re-
treat with heavy loss from the Shakhe
River or run the risk of being cut off
from the army between the Shakhe

that fianking movements are double

REMARhABLEP PLAY
PUZZLES EXPERT
OF THE GRIDIRON

Both the Stanford freshmen and the
blue and gold babies" played good
football sporadically yesterday at
Berkeley. Again they seemed to grow
tired on one side or the other and then
it was any ones game. The cardinal
won the victory with their score Of s,
but California advanced the ball scores
Of yards more than her opponents in a
straight rushline game. Stanford was
strong in Fenton, her little quarter and
kicker, but California's running backs
and two-thirds Of her line as well had
the cardinal men opposite them dis
counted.
It was poor headwork that lost the
game to the blue and gold. The home
eleven had the ball seven yards from
their opponents goal line in the second
half on a first down. Stanford had
scored and California was a touchdown
to the good The blue and gold backs
gained four and a half yards of the
necessary five in two downs. It looked
like a splendid chance to push a back
through center for a touchdown or at
least a half-yard gain, but the signal
called for an end run through the mud
and a cardinal tackle nailed the runner
for loss.
It seemed the unanimous opinion Of
the football critics that California
should have won on form if punting
was not a feature of the game. In
kicking the cardinal boys gained yards
upon yards. Fenton was always there
with a swift foot to balance up the
play. The greatest point of interest in
the game was a peculiar situation
caused by Fenton's doing what he was
not expected to do and which ordina-
rily would have been poor football
PLAY is UNUSUAL.
The play on which the game Of yes
terday depended was very unusual
one. None of the veterans present had
ever seen it's like before and it probably
would not happen again in a century.
1t was California's ball on her own
twenty-yard line. Riley punted thirty
i've yards to Fenton, Stanfords quar-

ATTEMPTED TO ESCAPE.

mond yesterday morning. They were
Walter Turpin, serving five years
for HOUSEKEEPING and burglary; w. 5.
Donohoe, ten years for bank robbery,
and Joseph McGivens, three years for
housebreaking and burglary. All of the
men are white. They were confined IN
cells SO and 90, between which there is
a thick wall. With two saws, one made
from case-knife and the other from a
piece of a handsaw. the men began
work yesterday morning. The wall
was attacked on each side simultane-
ously and soon hole eighteen inches
in diameter was drilled through.
In cell SO is a heavily-barred window,
from which escape to the outer world
was possible. The saws were brought
into requisition here and the bars par
tally sawed before discovery came. The
alarm was given by convict named
Hamlin, confined in the same cell with
those endeayoring to escape. he de-
clned to join them, and shouted for the
guard, despite the warning that his
throat would be cut if he did not keep
quiet. The warning of Hamlin was not
needed, however, for a tip had come
from another source, and four guards,
armed with shotguns heavily charged,
we're below the window waiting for the
convicts 20 drop. Preparations Tor
the attempt to escape had been
made thoroughly and cleverly. The
saws we're good specimens of work,
aud, in addition, there Twas a rope made
from blanket. The wooden pistol is a
unique affair, and in the dark it might
we'll be taken for the genuine article.
The dummy weapon is made from a piece
OF pine board, is perfectly shaped, and
covered with tinfoil In the outer cell
was found suit of convict clothes thor
oughly coated with shoe polish, so as to
obliterate the stripes. The three prison.
ers. all of whom will receive additional
punishment for their attempt to escape,
are men Of unusual intelligence. Turpin
comes from Lynchburg. He has before
figured in similar escapade. Donohoe
is from Rocky Mount, and McGivens,
also known as Seabold, is from Allegheny
county.

A dozen rattlesnakes, which had es-
CAPPED from their cage, made things
lively for Express Messenger Turner on
Baltimore and Ohio train No. AZ between
Washington and Martinsburg yes terday
morning. and as result of battle be-
tween the reptiles and the messenger
the latter was compelled TO beat hastily
retreat and abandon one compartment
nj his car to the unwelcome intruders.
The snakes were received at Phlladel'
phia and we're billed to a point IN the
West. After the train bad left WASH
in0ton the messenger opened the com
naTtmont in which the box had been
placed and discovered that they had es-
caped and were crawling over and be-
tween the packages in that part of the
car. The reptiles were not inclined to
retreat and showed fight, whereupon
Mr.. Turner hastily quilted that part OF
the car and shut and locked the door.
When the train reached Martinsburg an
attempt was made to get the express pack
ages out of that part of the car occupied
by the snakes, but only portion OF the
express matter was taken out. At
other points along the road the snakes
resisted all attempts to remove the
packages, and the express messenger
was compelled to carry many bundles
past their destination. He stated that
when the train reached Pittsburg last
night an effort would be made to re-
capture the reptiles, and, failing in this,
they will be killed.
