lie says:
AT the time or the japanese bonn
bardment ol the railroad station, the
ambulances were in the rear of the
station, from whore it was impossible
to move them. A shrapnel shell. which
burst over the station, wounded two
nurses. one of whom has since died
'The hottest fighting was on August
80 and 81, when the repeated assaul
of the encnv were all repulsed.
'The saith and S5th regiments of the
ninth division, and the 23d regiment
OF the eastern division, were particu-
larly lard pressed and were several
times reinforced. Ammunition could
not be brought quickly enough, and the
men at times actually stoned their as
sailants.
MANY companies had all of their
officers killed or wounded, and the
men fought under on-commissioned
officers
MANY of the Japanese wounded fell
into the Russian trenches and could
not possibly be removed when the re-
treat commenced and had to be aban-
doned. Others more unfortunate fell
between tie lines and we could not
bring them in. The Japanese could not
remove them, and they lay most of the
day and night exposed in the line OF
fire. Their cries and groans, which
were heartrending, could be distinctly
heard. Our skirmishers fell on many
Of them while pursuing the retreating
Japanese, and when they could gave
water to them, but had to leave them
to be run over by the succeeding
waves OF the Japanese attacks.
There was lull in the fighting on
August 81. General Morozovsky, who
was on the firing line the whole time,
sat down with a Cossack picket IN the
shelter Of the trees for Ia cup of tea
and a bisctyit. The japanese artillery
suddenly swept the woods with their
fire and q she'll burst, wounding the
general in the leg and tearing off his
orderly's arm"

BATTLE LIKELY AT YgNTAI
Desperate isssistance of Russians Pre-

desperate resistance OF Russians Pre-
vented OVerwhe lining Disaster
Toxic, Sept. 7.-An extended report
from Field Marshal Oyama. the Japa-
nese commander-in-chief in the field.
was received in Toxic and made public.
It is largely devoted to review of the
fighting which took place between Au-
gust "a and September 4.
The announcement that the Russians
still retain possession Of the Ycntai
collieries indicates strong possibility
of battle there. Yentai is the only
colliery in northerS Manchuria, and its
possession is Of vital Importance to the
Russians in connection with the oper-
alton Of the railroad.
Field Marshal Oyama reports that
portion of the Russian troops hold
Yingshiuissu. south of Yentai. and that
General kurolis right is in close touch
with the Russians. He annouu IS also
that the left end centre Japanese ar
mics, under the commend OF u l-rsIs

bank OF the TaitSc river. ana .. is
his intention to dispatch tlen TO oc-
tupy the heights north OF N1chany
and along the railroad.
General kuropatkin burned eii the
railroad bridges over the Tait.c rver.
The report says that the cr3at vjm-
Der OF Japanese losses since Au..U4, -
is not known at present bit th-t the
casualty lists are being compiled. The
field marshai predicts tnay the losses
will prove heavy
The report does not mention the
number of guns taken. bat it is known
that l6 guns were captured at Anping
and Anshanshan. and earlier reports
mentioned the capture and use against
the railroad station at Liao Yang %
certain 10 centimetre canet guns.
General Kuroh encountered desper-
ate opposition in the battle on the
heights to the west of Heiyiugtai. where
he fought continuously and fiercely for
four days before he succeeded i'm dis

SIX ARE KILLED;

st. Louis, Jan. 13-A crowd of

Brown Shoe company building at
Eleventh street and Washington aven-
ue caused the gate to give way and
ten persons were plunged down the

Will die. and William Pearson. inter
nally will die.
The employees had assembled at the
close of work in the corridors on the
different floors waiting tor ths eleva-
tor to take them down. The elevator
was Mt the seventh floor. receiving
passengers. when those ON the sixth
floor. eager to get near the door and
be first into the cage began to push
toward the gate. Suddenly the gate
gave way just as the elevator started
to descend and ten of the emloyes
plunged head first down the shaft.
Six were instantly killed and their
bodies formed cushion which pre-
vented the instant death of the other
four.
James johnson, the elevator opera
tor was taken into custody by the po-

break but that it had been raised by

BIG CANAL.
NOT WHOLLY
ABANDONED.

The Grand river project. rs the
government has designated it is plan
to divert the waters of +. the Grand
river into lands in Colorado and Utah,
Below is given the report. 1t shows
that Mr.. Fellows believes that the
Colorado end of the project is teas-
ible and may eventually be built.
"Mr. Fellows discusses and presents
estimates on both an interstate system
and a system to be limited to Colora-
do. The former would take i'll a
number of bitches that exist AZ present
and supply them with water from the
main canal, and several new bitches
would have to be built above them.
The proposition that is limited to
the lands of Colorado. as planned by
Mr.. Fellows. would cost in the neigh
borhood of 81. 0s5, 0o0 and would irri-
gate about 30. 600 acres. Judging
from the array of difficulties set forth
by Mr.. Fellows in relation to the in
terstate plan. the system touching on
ly the Colorado lands is the more like
ly to be put in operation.
The Excelsior divide. near the Utah
line. has an elevation of about 1000
feet above sea level, while at Palisade
the Grand river has an elevation of
only 4, 800 feet Thus to get the waters
of the river over the mountains into
Utah means expensive tunneling and
pumping, the average elevation of
irrigable lands being 300 to 600 feet
higher than the river. The only feas-
ible plan Mr.. Fellows says. is that of
pumping water from the end of grav-
ity canals on the east side of the Ex
celsior divide to the level of the land
west of the divide. and conveying it
through it by means of tunnels. The
water. it seems. cannot be conveyed
directly into tunnels ON account of the
deep cannons the river has cut. The
engineer mentions three specific pro-
iects in this connection. and says they
could all be constructed it an aggre
gate cost of SO. 500. 800.
The flow of the Grand river is suffi-
cient to furnish Z, 1000 second-feet dur
ing the irrigation season. This will
irrigate 100. 900 acres.
The alternative proposition of build
ing the system at first for Colorado
alone and leaving Utah lands for later
consideration, contemplates the con-
struction of many canals on lower
land, and the boring of many smaller
tunnels than those contemplated in
the interstate system. Should such
a project be adoDted it is stated that
it will be necessary to effect the con-
solidation of all canal systems along
the Grand river iuto one compreben-
sive system, the lands now irrigated
bearing their share of the expense of
constructing the entire project.

A KILLER.

of liquor. Reports from there are
that the marshal walked up behind
the bartender while he was on his
way home and shot him from behind.
The following account of the killing
is taken from the Salt Lake Tribune
of yesterday morning:
"a. A. Empy. commonly known
as Sandy Empy. bartender for W. A.
Calvin. was shot and instantly killed
by Joseph Bohny at 1 80 this morn
ing.
The row started at about IL O'Clock
when Bohny entered Oalvin's and
ordered drinks for Jesse Maxwell. =
minor. The bartender and Bohnv
commenced to quarrel, and Empv
struck the Marshal ON the forehead
with poolball. Bohny left the
saloon and returned in few minutes
with Deputies II. Day and Bert New
ell, and attempted to arrest Empy.
Empy refused to come out from be-
hind the bar. stating that he would
not be locked up. They duarreled
for few minutes and Bohny told
Empy to appear for trial at 10 O'Clock
today, whi III Empy agreed to do. and
Bohny left the saloon at 10: O'Clock.
Empy and A. Day were walking
down the street. about 100 yards from
the w. o. w hall, where wedding
dance was in progress. They were
talking about Bohny and Empy said
that he did not have it in for Bohny
in particular, when Bohnv came up
behind them and said. "Then what
made you hit me with that poolball ?''
Empy turned and laughed at him
when Bohny shot him with a "A
salibre six-shooter. the ball entering
the right shoulder and coming out on
the left side, killing him instantly.
An inquest viii lie held as soon as
j. n. Corbin, County Attorney, ar
rives from Castieton.

two months. the third since Moab
was INCORPORATED year ago. No

China Friend
OF THE
japanese.

London, Jan. I4.-All the
morning papers have editorials
which attach great Importance
to the ratification of the COM
mercial treaties between japan
and China. The consensus of
opinion in these editorials is
that the ratification of the
treaties implies an act of SOW
ereignty by China equivalent to
a declaration that Russia's oc7
cupation of Manchuria is only
temporary and for specific pur-
poses. The pro-Japanese Post
says, "That is precisely the
point for which Japan has been
contending and which Russia
declined to discuss with her.
Japan is now in the advantage
eous position of championing
cause which is also that of the
United States"
The Daily News thinks that
China "has displayed ominous
courage iii her recent diploma
kS, which will make for peace,
owing to the tremendous haz-
yards which war under the
spresent circumstances would
involve"
The Daily Mails Toxic cor
respondent says that Japan's
last note is couched in most
courteous language, but that
it reaffirms absolutely and un-
aquivocally Japan's inability to
accept Russia's proposals eth
er as regards Korea or Man
huria.
The Times Pekin correspon-
dent says that "Russia's posi-
ton in Pekin is now a remark
able one, and the change III
China's attitude is striking.
Russias wanton violation of
all her pledges has finally un-
deceived China and thrown her
into the arms of Japan While
Japan's preparations are COM
olete and her intelligence SER
vice singularly effective Russia
is not ready. There is great
confusion on Manchurian rail
way owing to the difficulties at
Lake Baikal and few Russian
troops have arrived in the far
cast by land. Russia's military
strength east of Lake Baikal
is exaggerated by the Europ-
can newspapers"
The Shanghai correspondent
of the Times says there is a
continued deadlock in connec-
ton with the affairs OF the
