First Detailed Story of VfaangOw Battle
By Correspondent on Scene

Liao-Ydng, June "a "A cor
respondent Of the Associated
Press. who was present at the
battle of Vdfangow. describes
the fighting as follows:
The stern, logged fighting at
the battle of Vdfaugow was like
another Borodino. The roar OF
of the machine guns and the
boom Of the cannon still ring in
ones ears.
Throughout the three daysof
combat the officers aud men WED
with each other in pluck and
heroiSm. They have added a
glorious page to Russia's mill
tary history.
The enemy's advance origi-
nally included the Fifth, Eighth
ard Eleventh divisions, twelve
squadrons of cavalry and splen-
did artillery. About 200 guns
we're belching a continuous
stream of shot and and shell

including four battalions con-
cealed in a small wood, whence
they dealt death and destruc-
ton on the enemy.
The Russian right was pro-

IDEAS FOR CHRISTMAS

The first of series Of exhibitions to
reveal the practical nature Of the col
lections Of the art bookroom of the
public library was opened yesterday
and will last thru the week. On the
tables were placed the books and port
folios of designs and plates on art
needlework Every facility was afford
ed for copying patterns and the 3. at
tendants were at hand to give assist
ance in finding particular information.
Special pains were taken to call atten-
tion to the books that circulate. Every
phase Of plain and ornamental needle
work is treated fully and clearly in
the collection.
In the Dictionary Of Needlework'
the seeker was able to find described
and diagramed every known stitch; able
to secure directions for making every
kind of fabric in which needle is en-
ployed from macrame netting and knot
tying to the finest lace and tapestry;
could read the history of the Bayeux
tapestries; find the meaning of haber-
dashery, the description of all kinds Of
CLOTH processes of plain sewing and
dressmaking, etc. All the related indus
tries are treated and she who would
mend, clean or color laces or press en-
broidery found authoritative directions
Nothing is too homely for attention in
this work, even patchwork patterns, tat
ting, knitting and crocheting receiving
attention.

PASSENGERS WERE LUCKY
COACHES SMASHED, BUT NO ONE
WAS KILLED IN WADENA
WRECK AT ASBURY
HOSPITAL.

Three persons injured in a wreck on
dena, Mimi, yesterday, were brought to
Asbury hospital this morning. They are
W. H. Heffe of Leelah, Wis, Mrs. E.
Lynch, San Francisco and Mrs. E. D.
Treadwell Of Miller, Ariz. None Of the
injuries are serious, but they are pain
fully bruised and will be confined to
their beds for several days.
The wreck occurred at the block
house, a mile west Of Wadena, and as
far as can be learned was caused by a
defective switch. There is a sidetrack
at the blockhouse, where trains often
pass, and a freight train was on this
track at the time. The passenger train
was passing at high speed and all the
cars but the last, an observation car,
had passed the switch safely. This car
left the main track and started toward
the freight train, also derailing the
sleeper. The two rear passenger cars
were smashed, and the passengers were
imprisoned for time. A. L. Orange
Of Spiritwood, N. D., was in one of the
forward cars, and says that the train
came to a sudden stop, throwing the
passengers in all the cars against the
seats with violence.
The passengers are unable to explain
how the coaches could be so completely
destroyed, and only three persons in.
iured. The other coaches were not
damaged, and most of the passengers
were not even bruised.

people indorse the navy. He said:
1.-THE navy is doing we'll. The people
seem to want a navy and they are going
to have One.' The secretary was par
ticularly interested in reports on the
general election. He inquired especial
" as to results in Massachusetts and
West Virginia as affecting members Of
the congressional committee on the
navy.

ENGLE Is ENTHUSIASTIC

J. D. Engle, chairman Of the county
prohibition committee wore an expansive
smile as he recounted the gains Of the
party at the head Of which he stands.
Our gains will run clase to hundred
per cent. in the city and county on the
heads Of the ticket he said, "and
candidates who put up a strong fight
will run their gains up tol, 900 per cent
increase. III. Mellen, candidate for
legislature in the forty third district,
will show five to one Of the vote four
years ago. Mrs. Bessie Laythe Scovell
for school board will probably poll 1000
and Jos. N. Morton will poll half that
number. W. g. Calderwood, who was
a candidate for the legislature in the
thirty ninth district, against two of the
ablest and best candidates ever nomi-
mated by the republicans in the district
will poll ten times the vote Of two years
ago.
tsThe Roosevelt landslide cost the
prohibition nominee for president some
votes, but Mr.. Dorsett. candidate for
governor will double the vote Of two
wears ago.

nouncing United States Marshal Grim
shaw as guilty of treachery to the cause
OF Dunn, which he paints in vivid
cOlors.
Grimshaw travelled thru the state,'
he says. making speeches for Dunn
and posing as an enthusiastic republic
can worker. He, however, more than
counteracted whatever good he may
have done for our cause by telling peo-
pie on the side that Dunn was sure to
be defeated, and Johnson triumphantly
elected. He came back to Minneapolis
and told this on the streets and in con-
versations both with republicans and
democratic workers, discoura ging the
former and enthusing the latter. I
have heard his remarks to this effect
quoted a score Of times. He even had
himself quoted in newspaper as pre-
dieting Dunn s defeat.
"T consider this political treachery Of
the basest kind, and I mean to tell the
gentleman. what I think of him in as
vigorous language as 7 can command
when I meet him. III bet $500 that

JONES WON OUT
AT LAST MOMENT
Returns from Last Dozen Pre-
cincts Overcome Haynes Lead,
Giving Jones 2o2 Plurality.

AS announced in The ournal's
comprehensive extra late yesterday
afternoon, D. P. Jones won the mayor
atty contest on the returns from the
last eleven precincts. The contest was
an exciting one thruout, with Haynes
leading by an average Of about 900 un-
til the last moments of the count. At
no time while the result was unde-
cided did the Jones managers express
the slightest doubt as to the success of
the republican candidate. They had
made careful estimates and the thoro
personal organization which cam
paign conditions seemed to make i'm
perative was of material assistance in
the closing hours of the fight in sup
plying the accurate information. The
Jones men early in the day predicted
that they would win on the returns
from the late precincts and the result
showed them to be right.
Judge Harrison Defeated.
Another surprise of the election was
the defeat of Judge A. M. Harrison.
He led on the early returns, but Brooks
forged ahead on later figures and on
the final showing displaced him.

man, receiver at the local Office, is
confined to his home with number Of
injuries about the head and face as
the result of an alteration that grew
out of political quarrel at the feder'
al building yesterday. Several ver-
sions OF the affair have been given
out, and the exact facts concerning
the difficulty are difficult to obtain.
One story is to the effect that former
Mayor Frank Edwards, former City
Attorney Edward Horsky, former
Chief of Police Thomas Travis and
Sam Goodman went to the land office
and demanded of Freeman the name
of the man who recently made the
statement that the city administra atior
recently levied tribute on gambling
equivalent to 20 percent of $3S, 900. L
is stated that Mr.. Freeman refused t(
give the name, whereupon the trouble
at once began. In the melee Freeman
was pretty badly beaten up, and wen
home in hack.
