The Japanese have not arrived at the
Yalu in force, according to the Rus
slams in New Chwang, nor have they
crossed the river at any point. The
Russian forces are still in possession
of all points on the west or Manchurian
side of the river, which they occupied

We're deported to Chefoo today.
The FaWan arrived at New ChWang
with two American newspaper corre-
spondents on board and the japanese
referred to in the above dispatch
were their servants. The correspond
ents and the Japanese were detained
by the Russian authorities because
the FaWan had come indirectly from
Chemulpo. The newspaper men were
released, but the servants were held
in custody. The Russian government

Sinking of Goyo NIaru.
Seoul, Korea, April 26.-Further de-
tails of the sinking Of the japanese
merchant steamer Goyo Maru, at Cen
san, Korea, Monday morning, by YES
sells of the Russian Vladivostok squa-
dron, have reached here. The Russian
vessels entered the harbor of Gensan at
IL o'clock. The crew of the GoyO
Maru, were ordered ashore, but it is
not known that they went and wheth-
er they escaped or not has not been re-
ported The townspeople took refuge
in the hills when WarshipS came in and
sist a landing party. After the Goyo
Maru had been sunk the Russians re-
tired. No attack was made on the
town.
This movement is regarded here as
supplementary to the recent Russian
occupation of Sung jim, which is about
$50 miles northeast of Gen San, but a
detachment of Cossaclks and for the
purpose of determining the strength
of the Japanese on the east coast of
Korea. 1t is also considered. as a Ill
version from the activity on the Yaiu
river.
The garrison at Gensan, which num-
bered about 800 men was reinforced last
week and the troops there are engaged
in throwing up breastwOrks. There is
also some artillery at Gensan- While

woman had half a dozen ribs broken
and was internally injured. Haverty's
leg was cut off above the knee.
AS soon as Haverty recovered con-
seriousness in Lebanon hospital and dis
covered that his leg was gone he in
quired what had become of the limb.
They told him that it had been sent
to the hospital morgue. Haverty OBJ

FROST DENIES CHARGES
OF WEST SIDE PAPER
Prohibition Candidate for City Treas
urer Issues Statement.

Newton R. Frost, Prohibition eandi-
date for city treasurer, has issued a
statement in denial of the charges
made by West st. Paul weekly news
paper. Frost denies that he collects
rental from saloon property in a build
ing for which he is agent, but says
that the collections have been turned
over to another agent. He further de-
MES that he knowingly sold building
at South Robert and Isabel streets to
a brewing company, but supposed 1T
was to be taken by a cashier for an
express company, and he enters dis
claimer to a charge that the Prohi-
bitionists have received funds from
either Democratic or Republican Or
CARNATIONS or from their workers, but
that he was once offered a large sum
from Republican official in ST. Paul
in consideration of using his influence
to prevent the nomination -of Pro-
hibition candidate for the position for
which this man was the Republican
nominee.
In concluding his article, Frost says
that the damaging statements in the
West st. Paul paper were made by J.
J. Kirkham, and that he has refused to
make proper amends when shown that
he was mistaken in his premises. Kirk
ham recently withdrew as a Prohibi-
ZIONIST candidate for the assembly, and
1t is said is now affiliating with the
Republican machine.

WAGNER is TURNED
DOWN BY REPUBLICANS
Wright and Other Candidates Refuse
to Allow Him Place on Ticket.

When the vacancy occurred on the
Republican ticket because of the death
of Col. Kiefer, there were a number OF
the members of the Republican CAM
paign committee favoring the nominal
ton of John. Wagner, but this was
so bitterly opposed by Col. Wright in
the candidates meeting that preceded
the committee meeting that the young
men in charge of the campaign were
compelled to abandon the plan.
1t developed that Wagner has oppo-
sition in his present party, having
openly affiliated with the Republicans
during the present contest. But it
remained for Wright to take the lead
and assert that he would under no con-
ditions consent to the nomination of
Wagner. Doran and others of the
older men agreed with Wright, and
each took a knock at the raw recruit.
Shortly after the announcement of
the death of Col. Kiefer the kid ag-
gregation'' in charge of Wrights cam
paign took the bit in their teeth and
sent for WAGNER. He was offered the
nomination, and after a few minutes
consideration consented to make the
race. When the young men went back
to the committee rooms they thought
it was all arranged, and did not change
their minds until it developed that Col.
Wright had put a veto on Wagener's
ambition to secure a place on the
ticket

sAPULPA, ]. T., May 2. Harvey
Anglin, farmer, has surpassed the au-
thor OF DR.. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" in
successfully representing dual per-
sonage. So smoothly has the decep-
ton been worked that Anglin's own
family and nearest neighbors did not
know Of 1t. AS capitalist from Ken
lucky he won the hand and heart of
young woman with whom he was
infatuated.
Anglin and Andrew Stubblefield were
neighboring farmers. living on leased
Indian allOtments near Sapulpa. Both
men had families. Anglin, although
the father of several children almost
grown, became infatuated with Melissa
Stubblefeld, the daughter Of his neigh
Dor, aged twenty-five.
AneIin Was Clever.
Anglin was too clever to tell the
young woman of his love, but instead
talked to her constantly of his friend
and former neighbor in Kentucky,
praising the accomplishments and adj
m1rable qualities Of Union Lee Sim
son. Naturally he instilled in the
young woman a desire to meet SIM
son, and through Anglin correspond
ence resulted in an engagement, and
the wedding was set for the latter part
of October.
few days prior to the time for the
wedding Anglin went to Tulsa, pro
cured tailor made suit, had his
Whiskers cut off, his sandy hair dyed
black, and his two front teeth filled
with prominent gold filings. He was

ing not at all ike Harvey Anglin He
then returned to Sapulpa and waited
about ten days to see how the new role
would take He appeared frequently
on the streets, but although many In
the city knew Anglin, no one confused
him with the man stopping at the main
hotel and posing as an investor from
Kentucky. To aid in making the de-
ception good, he started an account at
the bank and wrote numerous checks
for purchases.
Claims His Bride.
On Oct. 81 the gentleman from
Kentucky" went to the Stubblefield
home, announced himself. and claimed
his bride. 1t rained SO hard ali next
! day that the party could not go to
town for the wedding, but on Nov. l

license was obtained and the cere-
mony was performed.

the stage where 1t was necessary for
Mrs. McNair to lock up her jewelry

McNair would likely have an oppor-

be elected.
