Of the steel skeleton apartment house,

that the building department had

Wednesday at the instance of Inspect

There was severe fighting, and both
sides lost heavily. This report is dis
credited at Yinkow.
II 1t Is true. it indicates that Sc
rious danger is confronting Russia IN
these well armed brigand bands.
According to the Daily Mails ac-
count of this affair, six Japanese were
found dead among the bandits. This
would tend to show that the japanese
are organizing the bands. ''
