Ping, driving the Russians out of the town
and marching on New-Chwang, re-embarked,

and sailed southwark. Russian troops re-
entered New-Chwang.

Wang -Cheng retreated on MAY II. Siu-Yen

With Apologies to Our Readers

Bonners Ferry has two publica-
tions. One, the KOOTENAI HERALD,
is devoted to TIE general interests
of Boomers Ferry and North Koo-
tenai. The other, the Sam Henry
Progress, is devoted to the KoorE-
MAI HERALD, judging from the fact
that nearly half its reading matter
is devoted To us each week.
1t is not our intention to reply
at any length to these attacks. We
can employ the space to better adj
vantage, besides, attacks from Sam
Henry and his sheet are a recon-
mendatlon to any person wherever
he is known.
That MIR. Fisher should deny
that he ls associated with Henry Is
not surprising, as we fail 10 lind
anyone that will own him. AS tn
Henry's denial-the public will
take that for what his reputation
for truth and veraclty is worth.
Ne have been told by number
of gentlemen that Sam Henry has
called upon them for business and
favors for the Progress and stated
that he was interested IL the Pro-
gress. We shall not give tnelI
names because we will not drag a
friends name through the dirty
Sam Henry Progress mlre. BuI
anyone interested can easily verify
the fact by making some inquiries
Henry may reconcile his statements
to this gentlemen with his "oper
