FORCED TO LEAVE HOME.

mittee to Get Out Of Town.

A special from Telluride, Colo,
says that Harry A. Floaten, mer-
chant, who was deported by the mill
itary two weeks ago and who re-
turned home Thursday night, depart.
ed again Friday after being waited
upon by committee of five citizens
who warned him that his life would
be in peril If he remained in Tellu-
ride.

was arrested and detained more than
an hour, but no charge was preferred
against him. He said he was advised
by Acting Governor Haggott to re-
turn as the deportation of citizens by
the Citizens Alliance would have to
be stopped. The only accusation
made against Floaten by Captain
Bulkeley Wells, who ordered him to
leave before martial law was sus-
pended, was that he received on de
post at his store funds of the local
miners union and transacted bust
ness for that organization.

CRISIS HAS BEEN REACHED.
Great Land Battle Between Japanese
and Russians Expected Any Mo-
nent.


Lieutenant General Sakharof's dis
patch, received in st. Petersburg Mon.
day night, confirms the belief that
the great decisive battle Of the cam
paign between General Kuropatkin's
main army and the armies Of Gen.
erals Kuroki and Oku is imminent.
The three armies aggregate 100000
men and their outposts are today in
touch all along the line. The Japanese
evidently tried to draw Kuropatkin as
far south as possible, holding out as
incentive a check to the advance Of
Oku's main army.
Nothing is known in st. Petersburg
OF the exact point at which Kuropat
kln's main force is concentrated,
though 1t il believed that large part
Of the Lao Yang force has been
moved to a point between Kin Chau
and Ia Tche Kiao.
The loss of three vessels of the Port
Arthur feet is admitted to be Sc
we're blow, especially If not purchased
by greater loss to the Japanese than
reported by Vice Admiral Togo.
