RUSSIANS
REPUI.SED.
BY DOUGHTY JAPS AND Is NOW
IN RETREAT.
10000 RUSSIANS DEAD.
Heavy Fighting Continues and it
Seems to be Impossible for. the Rus
SLAMS to Rally. They Will be Press
ed Across Hun River.

Toxic Gen. Kuropatkin's south
ern advance has been beaten back and
his army is in retreat. He is, how
ever, fighting doggedly so as to spare
the Russian army from utter rout.
Field Marshal Oyama's triumphant
troops have driven the Russians north
to line along the Shakhe river. They
are vigorously pressing the pursuit
and probably will infiict severe dam
age on Kuropatkin s forces.
AS result of the bloody battle of
October IA the Russians left two thou
sand dead on the field, which they
lost.
Field Marshal Oyama estimates the
Russian losses at over 10000.
The fighting continued all along the
entire line Saturday and the end is
not near.
1t seems to be impossible for the
Russians to rally and they probably
will be pressed back across the Hun
river.
Heavy fighting continued Sunday.
The reports from the field indicated
that all three japanese armies made
distinct gains. Gen. Oku captured
ten guns, making his record for the
battle thirty-fve. The fighting in the
vicinity of Bensihu continues. The
report does not mention the situation
affecting the isolated Russian column.

he is demented and it is probable that

State Revenue Agent Writ Adams
has served notice on the officers of the
Delta Pine and Land Company, Will
liam Watson, Of Beauvoir, Secretary
and Treasurer, and E. B. Comfort and
Frank Johnston, counsel, that the
Company was due the STATE back taxes
on solvent credits amounting to ST.
10000. The deputies of the Revenue
Agent have been working on this case
for some time, and have been in the
various counties where the Delta Pine
and Land Company has been doing
business, collecting the solvent cred
its of the concern. The credits are
In the nature of notes given by buy
els of land from the Company, which
held a lien on the land until the notes
were taken up. The Delta Pine and
Land Company has been doing an ex-
tensive business in Mississippi in the
Delta and in the piny woods section
OF the state, and has always been a
very large dealer in real estate. The
assessment is made for the years 1886
to 1903, and it is fled in this coutny
as the domicile of the Association.
The back taxes that the state will re-
ceive upon this for the period will
amount to about 1920; the county
will receive as its share about $4,000,
and the the city will receive about
Sl7.O 900.

told the officials that he was very
much wanted in Mississippi, but the

matter of impossibility to hold him.
About every other day he would tear
