five or six more cities will also be added
to the circuit next year, making a dozen
or more cities In all.

COMP PROMISE!
Il. A. Strain, of COmancbe,
Talks About Bonds.
Thinks That a Compromise Nay
Be Made.
NEVER GOT A CENT.
NEVER GOT A CENT.
People Have Good Reason to
Hate Bond Issue.
"More Than County Is Worth"
Laughingly Says the Clerk.

R. c. Strain, clerk of the district
court of Comanche county, was in To-
peka to attend The meeting of the
grand lodge of Odd Fellows.
When asked what he thought of the
Comanche county bond deal and what
the people of Comanche county think
about it he said:
THE deal has an ugly look and the
people who are familiar with it do not
like it. 1t looks rather funny when a.
stranger can draw $4,000 from the
county for engineering the deal. The
people of Comanche county have to
pay this money if it is paid and they
naturally do not like it. They believe
that some one in the county got part
of the money for helping to put the
deal through
DO you think that $4,000 is a
pretty heavy debt for Comanehe coun-
typ" was asked.
why, that is more than Comanche
laughing.
How do the people of the county
feel about the bonds?"
"They are rather bitter about thern.
The county has never had a straw's
worth of benefS from these bonds.
They were issued at a time when there
were no people in the SOunty, (or there
may have been oAe MANI, and not a
turn for the bonds. The people have
given up trying to beat the bonds and
the best they can hope for now is a
compromise of some sort-perhaps
that can be made new that the state
holds the bonds"
What is the population of Comanchs
county?''
1T is about 1000 people and this in
debtedness bears down pretty heavily
upon them especially since they have
never received any benefit from it."
What is land worth in your coun-
There is very little changing hands
now but believe that some sales have
been made at from $5 to $S per acre.
was sold for 81 an acre and it was near
ly all bought up by cattle men. The
mortgage companies then held nearly
all the land"
Where do these cattlemen live now?
They are nearly all residents of Co
manche county and all their interests
are there
How long have you lived in Co
Il have lived there 20 years and for
six years L have been clerk of the
court. was not in Comanche county
when the bonds were issued and for
that matter there is not a resident of
Comanche county now who was there
at that time because there was no one
there and that is why it is so hard for
us to shoulder this debt. I don't be-
lieve that people could blame us for
not looking with favor upon these
bonds.''
Mr. Strain is a good natured, jovial
individual and the affairs of state do
not rest heavily upon his shoulders.
Though not lawyer he is now can
didate for county attorney and he
explained that while he had
never been admitted to the bar he is
as good a lawyer as many who are
practicing in western Kansas coun-
ties He left for his home last night
after participating in the closing VS.
sion of the grand lodge ]. o. o. f.

the discrepancies which Mr.. Rowett
alleges to exist?'' was asked.
81 don't know as that will be de-
veloped on the examination Dy the at
torney general, but it looks to me as
though Roy Richey may have been
to blame"
what is the significance of Mr..
Richey's resignation %
THAT is a matter which I must re-
fuse to discuss at this time was Mr..
Grimes reply.
Have you any explanation to offer
as to how these discrepancies oc-
curred?"
No, I have nothing to say at this
time. I hope that it will be found
that they were simply errors, but the
attorney general will of course look
into these matters and make a thor
ough investigation.
Mr.. Grimes declined to say anything
more for publication about the affair,
but gave out the following letter sent
this morning by Mr.. Grimes to Attor-
2ey General c. c. Coleman:
Topeka, Kan, Oct. IA, 1904.
Mr.. c. c. Coleman, Attorney General.
My Dear Mr.. Coleman:-On my re-
turn home yesterday after an absence
of a week from the city and state /
see that the state accountant has made
his report of the examination of the
state treasury, and that his findings
have been placed in your hands for
investigation. l see by the newspapers
that most if not all of the errors oc-
CURED during my term of Office. Know
ing that you will do your duty as an
Officer and that you will make
investigation of the findings
of the state accountant, I want to as
sure you that you will have my hearty
cooperation. Any assistance that 1
can give you will be gladly given. If
l have been the victim of circum-
and you find that through some
error of one of my clerks that there
has been a loss to the state l want to
say to you that the state shall lose
by it. Very truly,
F. E. GRIMES.

RUSSIANS FORCED BACK.
Retired Five Miles During Three
Days Fighting.

Headquarters OF the Russian West
ern army, Oct. II, via Mukden, Oct.
13, via Pekin Oct. 14.-The most fierce
and most important fighting that has
taken place since the battle of Liao
Yang reached it's height at noon to-
day, when after a bold attack which
lasted for three days, the Russians
began a sagacious retirement from the
positions they held yesterday, and the
Japanese by strong central move
ment, forced the Russian line five
miles to the north.
The battle which was forecasted in
a dispatch filed by the Associated
Press correspondent on October Il,
reached a stage of unusual severity on
that day along the railway and to the
westward, eliminating in the vicinity
of TOusanpu, which place was the cor
respondents center of observance.
By the evening of the 18th 600 wound
ed had reached the field hospital, stu
ated at the Siulintzu railway station,
10 miles from the front.
The result of the fight was that mile
of ground along the front of the railway
was lost. but the Russians regained their
ground during the night by bayonet
attack without shot having been hred.
with terrible effect.
The eastern army evidently is engaged
in continuous small arm fighting.
There can be heard the deSultory break
ing of shells along the foothills about five
miles from the railway.
10 the westward Jnere Is a growing 3c-
tivity and the smoke from the shells
forms an almost impenetrable haze, hid
ing the operations of the infantry.
There was an entangled artillery duel
in the vicinity of Tousanpu to the west
ward, in which during the day one regi-
ment was caught by cross ire and
threatened with extinction within a fcw
moments. Tousanpu wavered until noon,
when the Japanese made good their occu-
patton and Col Stackovitch, who had
made magnificent stand for four days,
after more than 20 of his officers had been
before
terrible onslaught of the Japanese.
About IL o'clock in the morning the
battle reached a stage of severity three
times greater than that of yesterday. solid
masses of troops filling up the front.
At AIS p. m. the Russian army made an
orderly and timely withdrawal followed
by furious rifle fire from the Japanese.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1904-10-14

the Russian advance may have been
wrecked and that if Field Marshal
Oyama is able to follow uD the Rus
slams energetically the battle may end
in irretrieva BILE ruin for kuropatkin.
On the other hand, if Oyama, having
himself met the Russian advance by
assuming the offensive and throwing
the weight of his armies upon the
Russian lines today exh austed the
energy of his troops and failed to
break his opponents lines, a repulse
necessarily must weaken his resisting
power when he falls back on the for
titled positions of his triangle.
Worst Fighting of the War.
London, Oct. 1.-THE Standard COR
respondent in the field with General
Kuroki telegraphing October IL, says:
After two days heavy fighting the
enemy's resistance was broken this
in full retreat"
Describing a fight for. a rock sur
mounted by a picturesque temple, the
correspondent says:
"At times it was a hand to hand
conflict. The Russians fought hard
and desperately, but were no match
for the Japanese infantry. On the 9TH
er hand, we suffered at disadvantage
Our guns We're out of range and were
constantly reduced to silence for the
greater part of the day. A timely mist
enabled the Japanese to draw near,
comparatively without damage to the
hills of the Russian position, and from
which they were forced to withdraw.
Their retirement was very leisurely
and the guns in particular remained on
the ground longer than seemed safe
The Daily Mail Toxic correspondent
asserts that the pursuit by the Japa-
nese is working great havoc to the
disspirited Russians who left their
dead and wounded on the field The
Russian forces are estimated at 100000,
with 1000 guns and the correspondent
says the fighting was the most severe
and terrible of the whole war.
Japanese Take 80 Guns.
London, Oct. 14.-Adviees received at
the Japanese legation say that the re-
port of Marquis Oyama giving details
of the operations below Mukden on
Tuesday and Wednesday, which were
previously described in the Associated
Press dispatches from Toxic, seems to
make the total of Russian guns cap
tured 3S and ammunition wagons "a.
General Oku's army was credited with
having taken % guns
The report regarding General Nodzu's
took 1.-TWO field guns and eight am
munition wagons on height rev
miles east of Yentai and while pursuing
the enemy captured also held guns
with ammunition wagons numbering IL
at San Kaushih mountain besides 15O
prisoners"
The Japanese legation is mot sure
whether this means IL guns and IL
wagons or whether the guns ana
wagons together total IL.
