NAVAL COMBAT
At PORT ARTHUR

LONDON, Dec. 11.-An unofficial re-
port from Port Arthur, according to a
Toxic dispatch to the Daily Mail, says
the Japanese torpedo-b boat destroyers
attacked the Russian battleship Sevas-
topol at the mouth of the harbor on
the night of December 8, with what
result is not known.
The Daily Telegraph's correspondent
before Port Arthur reports. under date
of December 9, that there were desper-
ate encounters last week. The bellig-
erents, the correspondent adds, mu-
tually recognize the Red Cross and
collect the dead and wounded during
temporary suspensions of fighting.
The Daily Telegraph's Tientsin cor
respondent learns from official Japan
ese sources that the Japanese casual
ties at Port Arthur the latter part Of
October were 5000 killed and 10000
wounded The losses in more recent
attacks, the correspondent adds, were
much heavier.
The same correspondent has heard
that continual fighting is proceeding
south of Mukden.
The correspondent in Shanghai of the
Daily Telegraph, in a dispatch dated
December II, says that. according to
Peking reports, the Russians have re-
treated to the south bank of the Hun
River, after seventy-two hours fight
ing, with heavy losses. On the fourth
day of the fighting, the correspondent
says, the Japanese assumed the often
sive. The Mukden station is reported
to be in wild state of confusion.
The Daily Telegraph believes the au-
thenticity of the foregoing reports
from Chinese sources of heavy fighting
is very doubtful.
TOXIC, Dec. 1.-THE battering of
the Port Arthur fleet continues and
there is but little ground for expecting
that it will ever again engage the
Japanese. The battleship Sevastopol
continues at anchor outside and it is
possible that she returns to the harbor
at night. Her anchorage is inside the
outer boom, which protects her from
torpedo attacks and, besides, the heavy
weather recently has given her added
protection.
Naval experts are discarding the
theory that the Russians sank any
ships themselves. The fact that the
vessels first showed lists, the exposed

Devoted Husband Digs Up
Corpse of His Wife at
Intervals and ReclOthes 1t
DEVOTION Is GREWSOME
She Died When He Was Away
From Home and on Return
He Becomes Almost Frantic
Special Dispatch to tn. Call.

CADDO, L T., Dec. 11.-As strange
as fiction and SO grewsome as to cause
those most familiar with 1t to shudder
when it is mentioned is the story Of ].
w. Moons remarkable devotion to his
dead wife-a devotion which has caused
him to ignore all conventions. the SEN
timent Of the community and the plead
ings of his friends and to practically
ALLEVIATE himself from the society OF his
equals in a community where he ranks
as one of the wealthiest and most in
f1uential citizens.
Moons self-ostracism is the result OF
his persistent habit of disinterring the
body of his wife, bathing it and cloth
ing it in fresh linen before consigning
it back to the grave for another brief
period.
When Mrs. Moons died her husband
was away from home on a hunting
trip. 1t was impossible to communicate
with him, and neighbors and friends OF
the family prepared the woman's body
for burial and inferred it before the alb
sent husband knew of her death. When
he returned and learned of his loss he
was almost frantic. He appealed to
some of the best women of Caddo to
assist him in exhurning his wife's BODY
and preparing it for burial to suit his
ideas. He said that he wanted the
corpse clothed in a black silk dress
which he had given his wife as birth
day present and which she had worn
but few times.
The sympathetic women agreed to
humor him and the body was taken
from the grave, where 1t had lain for
four days. They bathed and reclothed
it to suit the grief-stricken husbands
ideas.
The incident caused some discussion,
but a few days later, when Moons
again appealed to certain ladies OF the
town to assist him in again exhuming
and preparing the body for the grave,
the community was shocked. Never
theless Moons succeeded in persuading
some respectable women o assist him.
The body was again taken from the
grave, bathed, clothed in fresh linen
and reinterred.
In a short time this procedure was
repeated, and again and again did
Moons disturb the grave in which his
dead wife reposed to carry out his
grewsome ideas of devotion. He no
longer could obtain assistance from the
white women of Caddo, and was
obliged to employ two old colored man.
mics to assist at the periodic rites.
Finally the negresses were frightened
from the work by stories of 'spooks'
and spirits told TO them by Indignant
white people Now Moons attends to
the grewsome matter alone and unaid-
ed On every other matter he seems
quite rational.

believed they have taken shelter out

sarvation, but the Japanese are sending
a searching fire into hooks which can
not be observed from 2O3- Meter Hill
and other heights.
Observers report that number of
tugs, launches, dredges and small craft
have anchored near the hospital ships
in the west harbor, evidently for the
purpose of obtaining protection. 1t has
been suggested that the besiegers no.

from the hospital ships or else take the
