Dreaded Chunchuses.

LONDON, Aug. S.-The special cor
respondent of the Daily Telegraph with
the Russian forces writes from Muk-
den: 1t has been a matter of astonish-
ment to find in certain villages, per-
haps not more than 10 miles from
Mukden itself, that the war was a
thing of the vaguest rumor, and that
the one terror of the inhabitants was
the hated Matchmaking Chunchuse.
For them the brigand was the great
cloud on their horizon, and the cry
that he was near created, as al
ways, a veritable panic. Thieves
abound. They all go under the general
term of Chunchuses, and, indeed, more
coming to be so described. The real
representatives of these banditti are,
great rivers, over which the commerce
of the country is borne. The payment
Ol llAeu lOilS W lHe Julius III PAL tlCOIdl
areas secures for junks passing up or
down stream the right to carry a flag
which gives immunity from attack. AS
may be imagined the existence of such
a system of blackmail is a terrible
drain on the hard working and enter
prising, and conveying is the only
method by which it can be avoided.
With Russia fully occupied by the war,
however, there has been a great re-
crudescence of outlawry, and for some
time past the traffic in bean cakes has
been absolutely at a standstill.
1t might be thought that thousand
junks proceeding together without es-
cOrt would be able to meet any at
and SO they would, were it not for the
fear shown by the sailors for the red
boards" 1t has been shown repeatedly
of late that it is only necessary for
the robbers to fire few shots at a car
go boat to cause the captain at once to
run Inshore and there be quietly mulct-
ed at leisure of the illegitimate
dues. One or two Chunchuses are said
suit.

COLVILLE, Aug. 1.-THE Stevens

that purpose will hold their convention
September 3. The place for the hold

candidate for state treasurer on the
socialist ticket and the nominal head
of the party in Stevens county. AYERS
that his party will poll an average
strength of 500 votes in the county.
Mr.. Gorkes states that as soon as the
ticket is named a number of promi-
nent socialist speakers will be placed
in the field and an active canvass
made through the campaign.
The leaders of the democratic and
republican organizations express the
belief that the socialist vote will fall
far short of the 800 or 400 cast two
years ago., and think if they snow a
strength Of 200 in the county they
will be doing remarkably we'll.

COLVILLE, Wash, Aug. Sine
baby boy found in the cabin AT
ranch on Mill creek, by the Hamplet
bows. is doing we'll in the home OF Dep
MY Sheriff John Leonard, and while
il can not tell the tale of its origin
and subsequent abandonment by its
heartless parents, it is apparent that
the mystery touching its discovery that
at first baffied the officers detailed on
the case is yielding up some interest
ing facts.
A day was spent by Sheriff Frank
Ferguson, Mrs. Ferguson and Mrs.
John s. Wright in the neighbornood Of
the cabin. Inquiry of neighbors failed
to disclose a single clew to the Identity
of the parents of the child, but since
returning and comparing notes there is
n strong possibility that the Identity
of the infant may be established.
1t is the opinion of a physician who
brought to town that it is probably
week old About a mile from the
cabin, on the day following the dis
covery of the child, the sheriff and the
two ladies with him came upon a par
ty of emgrants with their wagons
camped in "A secluded opening in the
forest, in the direction of the cabin
traversed by the trail up which the
tracks of a man and woman were
found There We're two men and three
women in this party. Two Of the wo-
men were about the campfire, while the
third remained in a covered wagon.
The two men of the party are the same
who were with the Hamblet boys fish
ing on Sunday and incidentally look
ing for government land suitable for
homestead purposes.
An ArtfuI Scheme.
They were strangers to the Hamblet
boys and claimed to have recently
come from Montana, but inquiry mas
failed to secure their names. They had
been camped for several days near
the site of the abandoned military post
of Fort CoVille. three miles north of
town. and only on that day had they
moved camp up Mill creek. 1t is the
opinion Of the sheriff's office that this
party must have deposited the baby
in the cabin that morning, and that
they piloted the Hamblet boys to the
shade of the cabin to spend the heat of
the day in the hope of them making
the discovery and shifting to them
the discovery and care of the find. If
the theory of the officers is true the
work of the designers of the scheme
was artfully accomplished.
The officers are puzzled to know how
TO lay the responsibility where it be-
longs if this theory is established
Prosecuting Attorney Kirkpatrick has
the matter under advisement. and if
the law Will warrant. the parties under
suspicion may be arrested pending a
further investigation.
