gave them thorough trial with the
most satisfactory results. The disease
soon began to disappear and my hair
commenced to grow again. A fresh

Former Victor Marshal Killed.

Denver, Aug. Michael w. O'Con.
nell, former marshal of Victor, Colo
rado, who was released only few
days ago on $4,000 bail from the
"bullpen" in Victor came to his death
suddenly in Denver last evening. He
fell head foremost from window on
the fourth floor of the Markham hotel.
Death came instantaneously, for his
skull was crushed like AN egg ru-
NOR that he had been attacked and
hurled from the window by murder
ers was circulated, but Chief of Po-
lice Delaney, who conducted thor.
ough examination into the circum-
stances, discovered no evidence OF
murder. 1t is generally believed by
all who investigated the case that
O'Connell committed suicide.
O'Connell, who arrived in Denver
from Pueblo Friday afternoon. accom-
panied by his nearest friend, John
Horrigan. registered at the Markham
Friday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. and
both men were assigned to the same
room on the third floor. O'Connell
was in a despondent frame of mind
and weak physically. In fact, he was
in such a condition that his friends
thought 1t wise to keep constant
watch upon him.
Many OF the friends and acquaint-
ances of o'Connell.-and he was known
to thousands in Victor, Cripple Creek
and Leadrille-on first hearing of his
death were under the impression that
1t must have been the work of his enc
mics. Chief Delaney. Captain Counor
and three detectives, however, made a
very close investigation. Not one of
them could find any reasonable ground
for the murder theory.

St. Petersburg. Aug. 9.-Tho city is
full of wild rumors that Port Arthur

Foo of another assault in which the
fortress was taken by the combined
land and sea forces, though the jap
anese lost three warships, including
the protected cruisers Chiyoda and 1t
kushima There is not the slightest
confirmation of these rumors. Il is be-
lieved that the japanese are still una

Situation at Port Arthur.

Che Foo, Aug. 8, a. m.-The firming
which was heard last night continued
to $3.50 O'Clock this morning. A junk
which left Port Arthur August 9th re-
ported that there had been no hostile
movements since July 2Sth, except ex-
changes between the batteries. The
Russian battleships Pobieda, Retvizan,
Poltava and Peresviet fire occasionally
which was probably what was heard
last night.
An engineer who is familiar with
Port Arthur states that it will take
the japanese four weeks to forufy the
captured hills and plant siege guns,
which will require strong foundations
in the face of the Russian fire,
1t is stated positively that Vice Ad-
miral Skyrdloff was not on board the
Russian tropedo boat destroyer Lieu
tenant Burukoff. which visited New
Chwang about month ago, and which
was sunk on one of her return trips
from that port.
This last batch of refugees, several
of whom witnessed part of the three
days fighting of the week before last.
deny that the aJpanese were one verst
(sixty-six hundredths of mile) from
the Russian fortress. They say the
Japanese troops are from ten to fifteen
versts from the inner forts.
The Japanese are busy endeavoring
to work their trenches nearer the
fortress. The Russian resistance to
these efforts is confined to the use OF
artillery, which ceaselessly harnesses
the diggers. The japanese are said TO
have sixty guns in position on Volts
hill and vicinity. and it is evidently
their intention to slowly and surely
tighten their moose around Port Ar
thur.
A refugee who witnessed the fight
ing at VOLTS hill on July 26th and 27th
declares that 1000 Russian troops de-
Tended that position, all the approaches

races at angle of forty-five degrees In
many instances the Russian soldiers
dropped their rifles and rolled rocks
down on the enemy with effect more
fatal than their bullets. The Russian
mines were cleverly concealed in an
open field. Their composition was as
follows:
At the bottom of layer of high eN-
plosive, next a layer OF rocks. and the
whole covered with sod The eNpIo-
