outcome was futtering between success
and defeat for Japan-at that moment was
an almost certain repulse converted into
victory so successful that the forces of the
car were swept into confusion and disor-
derly retreat. With every japanese gun
directing its fire upon the NaDshan forts
and trenches, the japanese infantry sprang
over the bodies of those who had sacrificed
their lives in previous fruitlees charges.
The entire line rushed toward the Rus
sian left where the fire of the japanese
squadron had proved most deadly and
which was the first to weaken. II was
there that the first breach was made in the
human wall that all day had been an in
vincible barrier to impetuous assaults.
Once the Russians showed signs Of waver-
ing, the Japs were on them with the bayo-
net and hurled them out of the places they
had held so obstinately, inflicting a heavy
loss as they retreated in great disorder.
The day was won, but at cost, accord
ing to official reports, of $500 to the Japa-
nese, who report the burying of 800 Rus
SLAMS found dead. Gen. Oku reports the
capture Of 6S Russian guns and 10 machine
guns. The number OF japanese engaged
Is unknown, but they doubtless outnum-
bered the Russians.
The Japanese advanced at once from the
field and occupied Dalny, very important
seaport on Talienwan bay, securing an
immense quantity of rolling stock and
supplies, also dockage. The recent at
tempt Of the Russians to destroy the
wharfs and piers amounted to little.
Vice Admiral Togo has now established
a complete blockade around the southern
end Of the Lao Tung peninsula. This
completely enyelops Port Arthur from the
seaward and probably marks the opening
OF the final investment Of the town and
its fortiications.
The Japanese troops have swept all the
Russians from their defenses west OF Tai
ienwan bay. II is now improbable that
the latter viii be capable OF offering any
further serious resistance in the territory
north OF Port Arthur. The Russians pro-
fess TO believe that the fortress is capable
Of withstanding siege Of many months
duration.
News Of decisive fighting between the
armies Of Gen kourOpatkin and Gen.
Kurokl TO the northward is looked for.
The japanese army of the Yalu, which has
been inactive at bengwangcheng for
time, has begun its advance toward Lao
yang, where Gen. Kouropatkn's main
army is supposed TO be concentrated. Two
smart engagements between Cossacks and
japanese infantry are reported from st.
Peters burg, in both Of which the Cossacks
retired, having suffered some loss. This
country is hilly, and the possession Of the
passes counts for good deal.

A TOWNSHIP WAR
Fierce Composition Between the New
Towns on the Rosebud Reservation
SuIly Named After Jack Suly, the
Robber Cattle King.

Special to Times Republican.
Bonesteel, S. D., July l2.--Jack Sully,
the robber cattle king of the north
west range country, will have his name
commemorated in the town of Sully,
which Is to be locs ed on the Rosebud
reservation.
The town of Sully is one OF FIVE pro-
jected town sites In the, newly opened
reservation, which are to be exploited
by town site company representing
about million of capital. Interested
in the syndicate are d. w. Forbes. of
Bonesteel; c. r. Wallecl1. of Chicago;
II. c. Hubbell, of Davenport; and 9th
ers in Omaha and Chicago.
Beginning about ten miles northwest
of Bonesteel and running in the same
direction along the supposed survey of
the proposed extension of the North
western, this syndicate will locate five
town sites. They will be- named in the
same order: Gregory, Helen, Roseland,
Rose Lake, and Suily.
The company expects the greatest
future from Sully, which 1t will exploit
for all 1t is worth The Northwestern
has betrayed no intention OF locating
town sites and the members of the
company are apparently working in
harmony with the company.
It is indicative of the fierce town
site war that is being waged in this
new country, that the town of Gregory
is located within a few, miles of the
town site of st. Elmo. whose lots will
be placed on sale Thursday of this
week.
There will be a hard fight for the
piece of land on which the town 'of
Gregory is to be located. This with all
the other town sites. is located on
school reserves. which will be placed
on sale August 81. The st. Elmo peo-
pie will try and bid it In and the sec
ton will bring a fancy price.
Other companies are expected to bid
for the school sections on which the
new towns are to be located and the
state of South Dakota will realize
on it's school reserves.
