Killed Himself

Standpoint, Idaho, Aug. %. = Last
evening a rancher named Jensen, liv-
ing across Pend 'Oreille lake from

during the afternoon two negroes had
called at his house, threatened his wife
and robbed her of gun and lot of am
unition.
Sheriff Whitney and Policemen Saw
yer and Moran started for the scene Iof
the robbery Arriving there they sue
ceeded in tracing the negroes up the
mountain side to point where they
had separated, one of them apparently
coming back to the beach, the other go
in on up the mountain. They follow
ed the tracks of the latter, and Shortly

United States
Will Not Interfere

The United States government does
not intend to insist upon the neutrality
of China. 1t does not intend to insist
that the Russian warsbips now in the
harbor at Shanghai shall be disarmed
or be forced from their present haven.
1t does not intend in any way to pre-
vent the japanese capturing the Rus
sian warships. 1t does not at this time
propose to protect American interests
In Shanghai or in any other Chinese
ports, if by so doing it is found neces-
sary to interfere with the freedom of
action of the warships of any other ma
ton.
This is the decision reached by the
department of state, after a conference
between the state and the navy officials
with president Roosevelt at Oyster Bay
over the long distance telephone.
instructions in accordance with this
decision were sent to Rear Admiral
Sterling, in charge of the Asiatic
squadron, now at Shanghai.
An impression exists at the capital
that Consul General Goodnow may
have unintentionally paved the way to
committing this government to main
tenance of the neutrality of China
when he called the recent meeting of
the foreign representatives to take such
action as was deemed necessary. But
before that meeting had assembled a
cablegram had been sent him to care
fully abstain from any action that
could be deemed to be interference.
The fact that the conference was pro
ductive of no understanding is taken to
mean that when the other representa-
tives discovered that the United States
consul general had no plan to propose
they discreetly decided to await in
structions from their home offices.

HAMMER|NG At PORT ARTHUR
TREMENDOUS CONFLICT RAGING
VICTORY IN BALANCE.
Chinese From Port Arthur Report
That the Japanese Are Making Des-
perate Charges-Russians Driven
5aek-Japs Capture Fort, Then Com
PEELED to Retire From Russians.

Chefoo, Aug. %, noon.-The first de-
tailed news of the general assault on
Port Arthur indicates that a tremen-
dous conflict is waging and that vic
tory is hanging in the balance.
Chinese who left Port Arthur yester-
day and arrived here today state that
the Japanese, by making desperate
charges, which were reinforced by an
artillery fire from Shushiyen and
Louisa bay, swept from the north into
the Pigeon bay territory and drove
the Russians back from the main
forts. The ground being comparative
y fiat in this vicinity, the Japanese
were unable to hold it in the face of
the Russian artillery fire, and they
retired north, an eighth of a mile be-
yond the zone of fire.
The Chinese declare that the Jap
anese captured one important fort, To-
Gated on the Itzshan hills, midway be-
tween the west coast and the railway,
on a line drawn approximately from
point midway between Pigeon and
Louisa bays. The Japanese infantry
assaulted the fort and compelled the
Russians to retire. The Russian ar
tillery then directed a heavy fire on
the spot, compelling the Japanese in
turn to retire.

He Was Shot
From the Bushes

OF. MarleS, IuanO, Aug. S4.-Ine ue"
liberate assassination of Ed Boulley on
the trail between Marble creek and
Mica creek, is shown by late reports of
the killing Saturday. First reports
were that N. Lindsay had been killed
with him, but Lindsay escaped with a
bullet through his arm.
Boulley and Lindsay were accused
of being claim jumpers, and feeling
has been running high against them.
About two months ago Boulley was
shot and wounded in similar case,
and his companion at that time was
killed.
Lindsay gives the following account
of the shooting:
'Boulley and / were at the creek
getting water, and Boulley was stoop-
ing over to take drink, when | heard
the report of gun and he fell over on
to me.
i ran for the trees, and while run
ming "a bullet struck me in the arm.
Not soul could be seen anywhere, the
shots coming from a thick brush.
From behind tree, saw 10 bullets
into Boulley PROSTATE body.
All parties supposed to have any
knowledge of the affair are reticent,
and an effort will apparently be made
to shield the murderer or murderers,
and the officers can count on little aid
from the settlers.
Marble creek flows into the st. Joe
10 miles above the head of navigation.
The officers who went to the scene
will have to cover that 10 miles in
large dugout canoes, which are poled
over the swift water. 1t takes a day
Of hard struggle with the swift current
to cover that distance.
The trouble that eliminated in this
tragedy has been brewing for months
Entlced by the fine timber, many set
5lers have gone on the upper reaches of
he many st. Joe and acquired squat
5ers rights" on unsurveyed lands.
These rights are claimed under the |
laws, which permit a settler
'squatting' on unsurveyed public land |
o exercise the first filing right when |
he LANDS are finally surveyed and |
thrown open to entry.
Recently it is claimed, men in the |
employ of lareg timber companies have |
'een jumping and threatening to jump
| number OF. these "squatter" claims,
IN the ground that the land was more
for timber than for agricul- |
5ural uses, and that the squatters were
lot acting in good faith.
The body of Tyler, the claim jumper
whose disappearance has been coupled |
with the murder of Frank Boulley in |
he Marble Creek district, has been
ound. 1t was lying behind a log not
ar from his cabin ridded with bullets. |
4 deputy sheriff is reported as having
made the find, and the body shows in
LEGATIONS of having been dead week |
)r more.
Three distinct theories of the killing |
ire advanced. One is that BoulIey and |
Tyler were killed and Lindsay shot at |
oy land owners and parties angry at |
5he men on account of claim jumping.
A second is that Lindsay and Boulley
killed Tyler and later quarreled, and
that Lindsay then killed Boulley.
That avenging husband killed Frank |
Boulley is the latest story to come
down the river.
