c. E. Woodward Of Mont.
peIier Hangs Himself
TEMPORARILY INSANE
BrOodinS over Failure 10 Receive
Reaprc.ntHcnt Cause of
Rash Deed.

Montpelier, Sept 28.-City Judge C.
f. Woodward committed suicide at
$50 today in his law office in the
Union block. The body was found
shortly before 9 O'Clock by City Sher-
III G. De. F. Bancroft, hanging from a
clothes line attached to an iron hat
peg on the wall. Death was caused
by strangulation.
On the table among Judge Wood
wards papers was found this note:
''To my enemies | would like to
pay my respects and also to those
whom have assisted that now have
turned against me and mine and seek
out not only their ruin but mine as
we'll. If all could fall on me alone
and leave my family free from dis
grace l would not murmur.
Brooding over opposition to his re-
appointment as City Judge produced
temporary insanity. Another letter
was addressed to his wife.
Judge Woodward was born in
Braintree AZ years ago. He was super-
intendent of schools in Plainfeld i,w
several years. He was member of
the Washington county bar, we'll
known Republican and a member of
the House of Representatives in 1896
from Plainfeld. He was appointed
City Judge by Gov Mccullough in
1902. He leaves wife and two chill
dren.

SUSTAINED HEAVY LOSS

LONDON, Sept. 29.-In a dispatch
from Mukden General Kuropatkin re-
ports that Cornet Mikheitf. with de-
tachment of Ural COssacks. attacked
the Japanese bivouacked at Khouandi.
causing a great panic.
The same day the Orenburg Cossacks
laid an ambush for half a squadron OF
Japanese cavalry, who returned their
fire, but soon retired, having suffered
considerable loss and leaving several
dead Oh the field.
General kuropatkin is silent on the
subject of the Japanese flanking move
mentS east and west of Mukden. from
which the St Petersburg war office
concludes that Field Marshal Oyalna
has not yet begun to press his advance
from Sanchan or up the Lao river val
ley.
\ dispatch from Yladvostok says
that according to reports from Port
Arthur, two Japanese tnpaio % is
and a japrursc S,elmer have lCcn
sunk Ivy mines near Port Arthur dur
Ing The last few days.
y Japanese cruiser of the Niiuka
type It is adGel. was badly dunaged.
\ Chefu report says that the Jgpa-
ueSe losses Ia the last assault on Port
Arthur, which began Sept 10, were
1900
The Japanese were unable 10 remain
in the three supplementary forts which
they captured, and they retired at
O'Clock ON the afternoon OF Sept 20
after enduring several days OF tremen-
dous firing from the inner forts.
The most severe attacks were made
on the supplementary forts Of the Itz
and Anshu mountain forts. The Rus
slams had undermined the ground, and
several hundred Japanese We're blown
up. Reports from the Miaotao islands
mention terrific report which shook
the houses there.
The Russian ships. IT is reported.
took no part in the battle. The Rus
slams are now building new fort on
Liaoti prOmontory.
A St. Petersburg dispatch says that
the situation at Port Arthur is not re-
assuring. The blockade at last seems
TO be effective.
Admiral Togos ships are arresting
all the junks which try to enter the
harbOr and are sending them to Port
Dalny. 1t is feared that this complete
isolation may react on the spirits of
the garrison.
Movements at the front. so far as
disclosed by the meager dispatches re.
ceived at st. Petersburg are confined
almost to continuous outpost skirmish-
es, by means OF which General Kuro-
patkin is keeping in close touch with
the Japanese along the whole of their
entire front. Field Marshal Oyama's
advance appears to be extremely delib-
crate. There are no indications as yet
that he has begun to overlap Russian
positions.
A Mukden report says that the Rus
sian cavalry west of the railroad re-
port an important Japanese movement
and threatened attack. No change
eastward Is reported. Four divisions
of Japanese remain at Bentsiaputze.
three divisions are supposed to he near
the Yentai mines and two others west
of them. General Mistchenko reports
that he penetrated to the Yenta mines
and found only small detachments of
Japanese there.
