RUSSIA seems to be growing extreme
ly nervous over the possible future de-
velopments of her war with Japan.
Dispatches of a few days ago told of
great activity in strengthening the de-
fense of S.. Petersburg. Forts are be-
ing built around the city and mines are
being laid in the mouth of the Neva
in such numbers that it has been deem
ed advisable to forbid the movement
of merchant vessels either within or
Immediately without the harbor except
they be in charge Of pilots. Just what
this means, it is difficult to say unless
the cars advisors fear the Japs may
undertake to send a fleet around the
world into the Baltic to attack the
Russian capital.

disappointment to many of the people
who drew numbers early in the game.

soil and it is stated that he will not file.

been over the reservation and says the
top soil is only about four inches deep
and the soil underneath is sand. He
will not exercise his right.
Fred Wheeler, No. ID, says there is
some fine land on the reservation but
the most of the good land is surround

doesn't care to live in that kind of
society. -s.-.,t a.

men boarded train ZIG at Grand Forks
Junction, directed the train crew to re-
main in the caboose unless they were
looking for trouble, made display of
revolvers, and before the train had
reached. Emerado had robbed sixteen
men who were found in various parts
of the train and in box cars stealing
their way westward. 1t is known that
the men secured four watches and be-
tween $8 and $Io in money. How much
more they secured is not known, as but
six Of the sixteen men made complaint
at Larimore and reported their losses.
The men were desperate characters.
They went at the work in systematic
manner, and there was not a hobo on
the train but, was held up and relieved
of everything in his possession Of the
least value.
While the train was bowling along
at a lively rate the two men dropped
to the ground just after the train had
left Emerado. Six of the men arrived

There is no attempt, however, to con-
ceal the gravity Of the situation. Gen
eral Kuropatkitl telegraphs that his only
serious losses are confined to Major
General Orloff' detachment. which was
guarding the left flank al Yentai. This
detachment consisted of mixed Euro

RETURN OF N. Y. STRIKERS
TO WORK HAS NO EFFECT

Chicago, Sept. 5.-The return to work
of the $500 strikers in New York, will
have no material effect upon the gen.
eral situation in the stock yards strike,
according to President Donnelly of the
butchers union. In an address before
an audience composed OF 5000 strikers
and their friends, Mr.. Donnelly de-
clared that despite the desertion of the
New York members OF the union, he
would make no change in his plans to
tie up the meat industry OF the country
this week.
The action Of the New York strik-
ers, who are said to have voted to de-
sert u.s. said Mr. Donnelly, was not
entirely unlocked for. Their griev-
ances were not as great as ours, as
they quit work mainly in sympathy
with the western members of the
butchers Union. Before next Saturday
night / expect there will be fully 5o,-
600 more workmen involved in the
struggle and the product OF the New
York plants will not break the tie up
planned by this strike 1t is not expect
ed we will win in a day. but we are
still i'll the struggle and expect to win.
1t would not be fair to you to call off
the strike. YOU empowered me to start
it and you will have to instruct me by
general vote to call the strike off.
Let no one be discouraged if the fight
seems to be dragging. We will be all
the stronger and will be- able to secure
a better settlement if we. stay out for
seven or eight weeks longer
c. E. Schmidt, vice president of the
meat cutters union in California, also
addressed the strikers. He, like Mr..
Donnelly declared victory would fol-
low If the strikers would remain out
about two months longer.

nothing has been heard Of them in a

Miss Johnson has prosecuted her

detective is now at work on the case.

Mr.. Johnson was known to have com
