Russion Sharp
shooters Active

Mukden, Nov. 80 The activity of
the Japanese against General Rennen-
kampff's front continued November 80,
eliminating before noon in one of the
seyerest fights in recent weeks The
Japanese retired only about 600 yards,
but after the fight the Russians col
lected 232 Japanese dead, all from the
Seventh and Ninth reserve brigades.
The Russians also captured a large
quantity of rifles, entrenching tools
and Red Cross stores.
Night sorties continue. Russi n
soldiers prove very adaptable to this
work, and can go all around the Jap
anese in woodcraft.
On the night of November 25 party
of Siberians sharpsho- tiers went out
and captured every one of the guards
in front of the Japanese purity cutting
tirewood without arousing the suspic-
ion of the Japs that anything had hap
pened.
On the evening of November 81 a
party of Russian volunteers practically
out the Village of Nanganza, situated
at the foot of the double bumped hill
opposite Poutilloff lone ssTree) hill.
The japanese had been occupying the
bdilding in this village every night
and hampering the Russian sharp
shooters. Attacking the village in the
rear. the Russian volunteers drove the
out japanese from the village early in
the evening, mined the building and
retired. The japanese subsequently
reoccupied the whole village destroyed.
The Russian losses during the whole
affair were three men killed and Is
wounded.
Chinese report that the main Japan
ese force is located at Shilikhe, on the
railroad, 10 miles suoth of Shakhe, but
it is impossible to estimate its number.
The japanese, at close quarters, es-
pecially during the night fighting,
usually use Russian words and phrases
with the object of misleading the foes.
General Linevitch has especially
warned the troops on this point.

TRAGEDY FOLLOWS FIGHT.
San Francisco Man Kills Young AS
saiIant.

San Francisco.-JOseph MCGOWAN,
aged % years, was shot and instantly
killed by Joseph Smith, retired CAPT
talist, who is about 60 years old. The
murder was the result of quarrel over
business matters. The crime was COM
mitted with a shotgun, which blew off
a portion of McGowan's head.
After killing MCGOWAN, Smith dis
charged the other barrel of his gun at
James Beatty, the dead mans friend
and employee. The second charge, how
ever, went wild and tore through the
side of the shed in which the men were
standing. Incidentally, William Butte
had narrow escape. He was stand
ing near MCGOWAN when the first
charge was fired, and one of the shots
passed through his coat

Japs Continue
Their Attack

/ London, Nov. 29.-No further news
has from Port Arthur been received be.
You'd reports from Shanghai that the
storming of the Russian stronghold
continues.
Very few of Admiral Togo's ships
are now blocking Port Arthur.
Generals Kuropatkin and Sakharoff
are sending daily long detailed ac-
counts of preliminary fighting, which
may turn out to be the beginning of
another great battle, deciding the fate
of Mukden.
With the Russian forces at Shenk-
ing.-The attack by the japanese upon
General Rennenkampff' position on
November "a resulted in three days
fighting at the Tsink hetchen, near Da
pass. Though the Japanese have been
repulsed, the fighting still continues.
The Japanese have succeeded in plac-
ing several big siege guns in position,
with which they will be able to SER
iously harass the Russians.
The latest estimate of the disposition
of the japanese forces is as follows:
cuO III lSduC VI luz IlU1 duu i've I6Rl
ments OF cavalry, with a second line
of one brigade, between Bandioza and
the Hun river; two divisions of infan-
try between Bandioza and Linshinpu;
one division between Linshinpu and
LiaOdiaOuza, one division between Lao
diaOuza and Chinsandiza; enc division
between Chinsandiza and Kosangau;
one brigade between Kosangau and
Sunmuga, with a second line consist
ing of one brigade and two divisions,
one division at Bepupza; one brigade
occupying the country southwest of Be
pupuza as far as Chingizi, with one
brigade of infantry and one of cavalry
as a second line. Behind the main
army are one brigade of infantry sta
toned at Liaoyang, one at Yentai and
one at Tsink hetchen.
Tokio.-It is reported that the at
tack against 203 Metre hill by the Jap
anese light artillery is succeeding. 1t
is estimated that 80 per cent of the
work Of the occupation of Port Arthur
will be finished with this height in the
possession of the Japanese. No part of
the harbor of Port Arthur will then be
concealed from the japanese.

Murder Mystery
Is Exposed

Sundance, Wyo. Nov. 30.-The mys-
terry of the disappearance of James
Grsrett, prominent ranchman, on
October 10 has been cleared by the con
fession of Willie Erickson, 10 year
old boy. Erickson confesses that on
driving off a calf belonging to the Err
icksons, he was met by Otto Erickson,
and commanded to release the calf.
Garrett, in reply, knocked Otto from
his horse and attempted to shoot him
with rifle. The boy was too quick
and shot Garrett three times. Garrett
fell from his horse, still alive, and the
Erlcksons dragged him into some

whence he will return to Chicago by
the Santa Fe route. He is accompanied
by Mrs. Laurier and is on a tour of

nary details had been worked out, he
said, and the road would be pushed

TYPHooN ADDS TO HORRORS.
Shakhe River Armies Fight the Cold
and Each Other

Mukden, Nov. pa terrible storm
was experienced here on Saturday, and
residents expect a repetition of such
weather coincident with typhoons off
the coast, until March. The tempera-
ture now is below freezing. The in
habitants of the leaky huts are in a
pitable condition.
The war has reached such a phase
that the interest of small skirmishes
is very slight. Everyone has been look
ing for a big battle, but though rein
fOrcements continue 70 arrive and both
sides continue to entrench, a general
engagement apparently is as far off
as ever. No one now discusses the sub
iect.
A number of commanders are drill
ing their men as in time of peace.
More interest is expressed here in
the fate of Port Arthur and it's ability
to hold out against the Japanese than
in what is happening at close quar-
tiers.
There have been the usual small
skirmishes. Vilmanstranskis sharp
shooters took Japanese advanced po-
sition Saturday, driving out the Japan
csc at the point of the bayonet. The
latter left 20 dead, and the Russian
loss was three. The Japanese attack
ed the Russian lines at several places,
taking advantage of a snoWstorm on
one occasion, but in all cases were re-
pulsed.
The village Of Erdago continues to
be the scene of frequent small fights.
The Japanese made tentative attack
there on November 25, but did not at
tempt to push home the attack in the
face of Russian artillery fire.

Nelson Whipped
Young Corbett

San Francisco, Cal, November 3d.
In the greatest fight in years, Battling
Nelson" Of Chicago WOO from Young
Corbett of Denver in 10 rounds.
From the tap of the gong until Co =
belts seconds threw up the PONCE,
Nelson was the master of the situation
at every stage of the game. His in
fighting was a revelation and the most
brilliant ever witnessed in any ring
here. For the last three rounds of the
fight Corbett was as helpless as baby e,
but he wobbled around groggily and
gamely until the repeated calls from
around the house to stop the fight
caused Harry Tuthill to enter the ring.
The fight was over and new man is
in line to vanquish Champion Britt.

killed at the plant of the Western Cap

and the building in which he was work
ing was blown into kindling wood.
For years he has carefully guarded
the secret of his invention, and always
worked in little building which was
isolated from the rest of the plant and
located in the woods. No one was al

1t is not known whether he had ever
divulged the secret of the explosive,
but from what could be learned at the
chemical works it is believed that he
had not, and that his secret died with

The new cousin" as little brother
called her because this was her first
visit to the Barclays. had not made
herself popular. One might have gath
cred the reason from the talk that
went on at the tea table the evening
VIXEN she, Lena Martin, was tempo
rarilX the guest of other cousins in an
adjoining town Horace Barclay, the
young law student, began it.
I'm wondering" he said. whimsi-
cally, whether Lena is busy at this
moment pointing out to aim Barclay
how many little ways he has that re-
mind. her of me. She's told me a GOOD
many times. YOU know, how much l
resemble Jim in appearance and char
aoter, aud since he looks like convict
and. hasn't any character, L.
1T doesn't so mluch matter about
Jim, and YOU, Marian, his elder sister,
broke in, hot with her priNate griev-
ance. You're men, and nobody thinks
about mems looks. But Lena keeps
telling, me how like l am to that old
miniature of great-grandma- and I've
detested that picture ever since can
remember l don't think it's, the, least
like any of our family"
Lena says | look like little girl
she knew that died." the younger sis
ter, Rose, ,murmured, plaintively.
"She told me that chieken-cooD |
built was just like one she saw in the
Tribune growled Roy. That's.
worsen anything she told you others,
cause | didn't copy that chicken-eoop.
l built it out of my own head
Cant tell her a story but it's like.
something she heard years agor' Ma
rian sputtered again. Cant play any
thing but it reminds here of piece
her music teacher used to play. To
hear her talk, you'd think she'd read
or heard or seen everything in the
world, or something just like it except
for the name"
Mamma, little brother interjeeted
in real alarm, because she's our cous-
in, do we haze to be just like Ler?"
NO, dear tie mother answered,
gently. But / want you all to realize
that Lena's fault originated in pure
kindness of heart
''She means well, but her habit of
trying to trace resemblances is dam
gerous one because we ali cherish our
own individuality. There are not many
persons we really wish to resemble, |
think, and when Lena finds likenesses
offhand, of course she is liable to iden-
tify us With people we don't admire.
Il have never heard your cousin say
anything that was not intended to COM
pliment us or to show an interest in
the things that interested us. DO JUS
tice to her good intention. Don't imi-
tate her methods: do take pattern by
her generous motive. Youths Com
