County Treasurer Charged With En-
bezzIement and Fraud.
Pomeroy, O., Oct. 29.-After investi- :!
tlicted County Treasurer Thomas j.
Chase, charging the embezzlement Of
$14,50O from the county treasury on
September 9. when he claimed that
the treasury was looted by masked rob-
bers and himself lock ed up In the vault.
When Chase was brought from the
county treasury into the court his
bonds were fixed at $4,000. AS he was
unable to furnish bail he was remanded
to jail.
The arrest Of Chase caused no sur
prise in Meiggs county, but there Is
much excitement over the fact that
there are indictments against other
persons. Chase claims that two un-
known masked men entered his office
and robbed the safe, locked him In the
vault and made their escape In day.
light without being seen by anyone
about the court house or the town.
Chase was found locked up by his
daughter, who rushed tolthe local bank
and then to the fair grounds for some
one who could open the vault. 1t was
shown to the jury that at least half a
dozen men were sitting in front of the
court house all forenoon of September
8 and saw no strangers.

Chase was reported the grand jury re-

OPPOSING GENERALS

Oyama and Kuropatkin Playing
for Advantage in the
Ne@ Move.
TENSION CAN'T CONTINUE
Troops Are Underea Stress Which Will
Not Last Much Longer-ResumP-
ton of the Fighting May
Happen at Any Time.

Mukden, Oct 28.-The situation is on
of great tension for the troops on both
sides. Kuropatkin and Oyama seem to
be watching each other like hawks. 1t
is impossible to tell which will make
the first serious move. There are occa-
lsional exchanges Of desultory firing at
1.-THE outposts but nothing of great i'm
;portance has transpired. On Saturday
might the Japanese made feeble at
tempt upon Lone Tree Hill, but the
attack was not pressed.
The Russians used several siege guns
of great range on Monday, bombardlng
the Japanese positions near Shakhe.
The japanese replied with shimose
shells. The Chinese say the Russian
fire destroyed three Japanese field
pieces. The Japanese have evacuated
the Shakhe railroad station. but it and
the railroad bridge between the lines
are in the field of the fire of both
sides.
! Although it is reported there is no
activity on the Russian left flank. little
is really known concerning the situa-
tion there. A Japanese movement from
the west along the railroad is reported,
but this has not been confirmed. The
general state Of uncertainty breeds
many rumors. On Monday quite a
heavy artillery fire was heard to the
westward. japanese prisoners say the
cold weather Is causing an increase OF
illness among their troops.

Lack of Food and Shelter VIII Force
Them to Move Soon.
Mukden, Oct. 26, via Pekin, Oct. 26.-The
Russian forces on the left recrossed the
Shakhe river on October II and are now
pushing forward towards the Japanese po-
sitions. intrenching as they advance. At
the same time Russian batteries are con-
tinually bombarding the Japanese, who
can be plainly seen busily engaged In the
making of trenches. This plan of the
Russians to entrench as they advance was
adopted because it was found In the re-
cent big battle that it was found impossi-
BILE to advance without some protection
from the shrapnel fire.
The Russian batteries are now better
situated than they were In forr:2" en-
gagements, but troops on both Sides APP
parently make no great efforts to conceal
themselves.
The Russian and Japanese armies are
now separated by less than four miles. but
the whole field of operations of both
armies can be plainly seen.
The fuel problem IS becoming serious
one. The greater part of the Chinese corn
has already been used for fuel and for
fodder, while most of the houses in the
Chinese villages have been destroyed and
their wood used for fuel.
Without fuel and without shelter, be-
yond that provided by tents. 1t seems i'm
possible for the armies to remain In the
field during the increasing cold weather.

months ago he came to this city and want

stating he was short In his accounts. The
sheriff advised him to return to Ringsted
and make an effort to effect a settlement.
He did return and helped straighten up
the books, and his arrest did not follow
for some time thereafter. After he had
been In jail for few days number Of
the business men of Ringsted furnished
bonds in the sum Of $500. and Aaivik was
released. AT the last term Of court he
was indicted by the grand jury, but when
the case was called in court he could not
be found, and the bond was declared for
feited.
IA few days ago Sheriff Pullen received
4 d tip that Aalyik was living In Minneapolis:
under the name Of Strand. He went to
that city and had no difficulty In locating

away and returned to this city without OBJ
lection.

in a new sensation.
James r. Wallace Of Minneapolis ap-
peared before Judge c. B. Elliott and
gave some startling testimony in the
noted suit upon which the defendant Is
moving for a new trial.
Mr.. Wallace says, under oath. that in
1884 he married Sarah Ham In little
town over in Wisconsin. For some
mysterious reason connected by INFER
ence with Potter, the woman refused
to live with her husband from the first
up to the time that they were divorced
In Minneapolis. only about two years
ago.
This testimony, which was perpetu-
ated for use in the Duluth case. is con-
sidered of the most vital Importance to
the defendant. In the trial of the
breach of promise suit. he endeavored
to show that the plaintiff was WON.

was discredited.
Mr.. Wallace's story will be used to
show that at the time Miss Ham was
receiving the attentions and listening
to the promises Of Mr.. Potter. II he
made any. she was really married
woman.
There is nothing definite in Mr. Wal
lace's testimony that connects Potter
with Wallaces marriage to Miss Ham.
But when the witness was asked If ne
knew Mr. Potter he replied: Yes, to
my sorrow" 1t was further men
toned that Potter was In the Wiscon-
sin town at the time Of the Wallace
wedding.

Records,

Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 2s.-With b
pacemaker carrying a wind shield in
front and accompanied by runner at
the side, Dan Patch, driven by Her,
sey, paced the fastest mile at the trot-
ting park ever made by horse in har-
ness, circling the track in 1855 fiat. The
form recor l, 1:56A, was made by Dan
Patch In 1903. The trial was scheduled
merely as an attempt to beat 2:00A.
The son of Joe Patchen warmed up
in splendid shape, and after scoring

clocklike precision the brown PAGER
stepped around the first turn and to-
the quarter in 20. Turning down the
back stretch Scott Hudson. who drove
the pacemaker. had to urge his horse
forward, as Patch was cTowding him.
The pacing marvel fairly flew to the

announced a great cheer came from
those present.

The wind shield used was the same
as that employed when Lou Dillon
trotted a mile in 1881. 1t consisted OF
a strip Of canvas about four feet square
attached to the sulky of the running
pacemaker.
Another sensational performance was
that of Major Delmar, z. E. Smathers'
trotting champion. wh.1 he trotted a
mile to a high wheel su.ky In 2:07 fiat.
It was announced by the judges be-

FRAUD IN CUSTOMS.
Discovery Is Made by Americans in
San Domingo.


Cape Haytien, Hayti Oct 29.-Ad-
vices received by the Associated Press
correspondent here from Monte Cristi;
San Domingo, announce that ]. c. Alb
bolt, the American agent in charge of
the custom house at Puerto Plata, and
]. e. Strickland, the agent in charge of
the Monte Cristi custom house, both
in the interests of the commission
which awarded $4,50o,0OO to the Santo
Domingo Improvement company, of
New York. for the seizure of it's prop
erty during important frauds in the
customs service, which is imperfectly
organized, and which they have m
structions to reform. From this it APP
pears that American intervention in
the customs of Santo Domingo has al
ready produced a salutary effect in
causing the discovery Of the falsifca-
tons. 1t is estimated that the receipts
at the custom houses will now exceed
25 per cent. those produced under the
regular administration of the customs.
The revolutionists of Santo Domingo
have been dispersed and peace has
again been established in that republic.

so contribute he must have repreSen-

see that all contributions are applied

Grand Duke Serge demanded to know
wat he meant, whereupon Morozoff
retorted that he had given a million
rubles' worth of his cloth at the COM

churian army and since then he had
seen the same cloth sold in the Moscow

Grand Duke Serge angrily demanded
an apology from the plain spoken Moro

Morozoff refused to apologize. and he
was given his passports.
Before leaving he gave instructions
that all his factories should be closed,
