THE BLIND PIG RAID
WAS NOT "A SUCCESS

Bismarck, N. p, July I6.--Chief Of
Police Ritchey and Constable Donnelly
raided three places against which affi-
davits had been sworn out by Judson
Dram whoever Judson may be- last
night, in a search for Intoxicating Ii
quors. The three places raided were
those of Charles Albertson, on the
south side of the track. Constable Dom
nelly called there and informed the
proprietor he was looking for some
thing TO drink and was informed that
he was about half hour late. "A
search of the premises revealed nothing
drinkable-not even water. The place
kept by Louis Larson, otherwise known
as Anderson, on Fifth Street was raid
ed. The proprietor was extremely cour-
Iteous, conducting theofficials all through
the place, which includes many apart
ments and passages above and under
ground, but nothing was discovered ex-
+cept plenty of soft drink. AT James
Hedmark's place in the alley between
Third and Second Streets, number oi
bottles Of beer were found on ice in
"a shed. The place was locked and some
depredatory individual removed the roo!
from the place and swiped all Of tht
beer except four bottles, which remain
as evidence in the hands of the atithori.
ties. It is thought by the officials thai
word of the intended raid must have
gotten around someway among the pig
ging fraternity.

A CRUEL HOAX ON
THE CREDULOUS RUSSIANS

ST Petersburg, July I6,-It appears
now that the dispatch reporting the loss
of 10000 japanese was miserable
hoax Of the Japanese themselves, sug-
gested in order TO mislead General Ku-
ropatkin and to cause him to advance.
The consequent modification and dis
gust felt has no limits.
To make matters worse, according to
the latest dispatches, General Oku IS
seriously threatening Niu-chuang with
a large force; Field Marshal Cyan1a has
taken direction of the investing forces
at Port Arthur; and the best ship in
the Russian navy in the far east, the
Novik, is damaged.
