DESERTER O'BRIEN DYING
The Hardships He Encountered After
 Leaving Whipple.

Springfield, H., Nov. 3O.-( (Special.) Thomas O'Brien, a deserter from the United States army, is lying at the point of death at the Cottage hospital at Peoria, IL, as a result of the hard ships which he endured after leaving his post at Fort Whipple. Ariz. He was arrested by Deputy United States Marshal Tripp yesterday. Attendants say, however, that it is extremely doubtful whether he will ever be called upon to account before any army tribunal for his offense against the military code.
 O'Brien's home is at Maynard. Mass, where he has asked the author ities to communicate with relatives in case of his death. O'Brien enlisted in the regular army service in Massachu- setts, and was assigned to the post in Arizona, a country of wnI-h he was totally ignorant. He found the bar racks room associations dull. and the rigid discipline most distasteful, and at the end of a month began to evolve plans for escape He left the fort on foot and alternately, ,tramped and stole rides on passing freight cars. reaching Illinois after a terrible journey.

MADE A STAND-O -OFF
Pima and Santa Cruz Tie
 for Joint Councilman
DicKerman's Majority of FOrty-seven in Former County Net by FOrty-sev- en for Bernard in the Latter.

A telephone message from Tucson last night said that it had just been discovered that the election for joint councilman for Pima and Santa Cruz resulted in a tie. F. w. Dickerman, the republican candidate, received a majority of forty-seven in Pima coun-
 ty and word had just come from Santa Cruz that the official count there gave A. C. Bernard, the democratic candi- date a majority of forty-seven. This situation may break up the tie which
 it was supposed was going to exist in
 the council. As a tie the result in the two southern counties makes the sit
 Uation between Cook and Walker in
 this county look like a one-sided con- test.
 The election of Dickerman had been assured. It had been conceded by even
 the democrats of both counties for it appeared on the semi-ofcial returns
 from Pima which had been collected
 with great care that he had a majority
 of sixty. The same kind of a count in Santa Cruz gave Bernard a majority
 of about thirty.
 It was stated that a recount would be asked for and though the office is
 not of great importance to either of the candlQateS IL Will De SetJled Dy con test if necessary. It is barely pOssib bIe that a new election may be necessary for if it should be shown after the re- count and the contest that a tie actual ly exists, there would be a vacancy in the council which would have to be filled for legislative vacancy occurs as soon as the two years for which the ] Legislature has been chosen expires. 4 | legislative vacancy is the only one for the filling of which the law orders a special election. In all other cases the ! incumbent holds until his successor is elected and qualified.

brother, Yalmer, who is 1S years Of age.
 According to young Erickson's con fession, Garrett and the Erickson boys had frequently quaureled. On the 18th of October they met while Garrett was driving off maverick belonging to the EricksOns. Otto Erickson com manded Garrett to release the calf. and Gamett, in reply. knocked otto from his horse and attempted to shoot him with rifle. The boy was too quick, and shot Garrett three times with an automatic pistol. Garrett fell from his horse, still alive, and Erickson dragged him into some bushes and there cut his throat with a penknife despite his appeals for mercy.
 Later in the day Otto returned to the body and, tying a rope to it's feet dragged it some distance to a new hid ing place. Two days later Will and Otto packed the body on a horse and moved it four miles, depositing il where it was found after the confes- sion. All three of the Erickson boys are under arrest.

Battling Nelson a Notch Nearer the Championship
YOUNG CORBETT BEATEN
The Fastest Milling Ever Seen in San FranCiScO-The Chicago Mans ViC- tory, Which Was Inevitable, Came in the Tenth Round.

WOodward's Pavilion, San Francisco, Cal, Nov. 29.-In the greatest fight ever witnessed between little men iu years, Battling" Nelson, of Chicago. won from Young Cor5ett, of Denver, in ten rounds. From the tap of the gong until Corbetts seconds threw up the sponge, Nelson was master of the sit nation at every stage of the game. His inhghting was the most brilliant ever witnessed in the ring here. For the last three rounds of the fight Corbett was as helpless as a baby, bus he wOb- bled around groggy and gamely, until repeated calls from around the house 10 stop the fight caused Harry Tuthill to enter the ring. The fight was over, and a new man is in line to vanquish Champion Britt.
 The story of the fight is simply told COrbett entered the ring at 9:45 o'clock almost unnOticed, owing to the pres ence of a gaudy hued negro whom An noUncer Bill Jordan introduced as Count BisriaI. champion Graceo-Ro- man wrestler of the world. Battling Nelson entered five minutes later Al though it was not a championship af- fair, the tense stiffness of the house as the men squared up to each other showed the interest taken in the event
 Both men showed extreme caution in the first round, there being an evil dent disposition to take each others

The Japanese Limit Port
 ATthuT'S Resistance
NEW POSITIONS TAKEN
The Besiegers Expect Soon to Sweep the HaEbOr - Their Progress Is Made at an Appalling Sacrifice of the HikadO's Soldiers.

London, Nov. 29.-According to a Tokio dispatch to the Standard there is an unofficial rumor that the Japanese have taken large calibre guns to the top of the 2O3 meter hill, whence their fire has the sweep of the whole harboT- This report doubtless goes beyond the facts; but the various dispatches indi- cate the progress the Japanese are making in the reduction of Port Ar thur. The Japanese here explain the great importance of the capture of the POS meter hill, which, beside giving command of the haTbOr, will serve as a wide breach made by the wedge the Japanese have previously driven in be- tween the Etze group and Russians last retreat in the ravines of the Laou mountain. They declare that retreat to Laoti will be enectuaIly cut off. and that it is not likely that Laoti will be simultaneously attacked in the final assault
 Bennett Burleigh wires to the Daily Telegraph rom Che Foo that in the last assault the Japanese lost 400 men in one hours fighting. They claim to have captured two more of the north western forts and third, which is part
 of the west Kekewan group They claim. MT. Burleigh adds. to have ef- fected a Judgement at Pigeon bay, thus
 turning the fort on the POS meter hill,
 and that they are now tunneling from
 a gorge below Laou hill, which they
 hope first to damage and then to rush The dispatch continues;
 | Desperate fighting is proceeding and the losses are admitted to be eN- , cessive. but the Japanese insist thal Port Arthur must fall within twenty one days

 communication has been re-establisnec . between the Russian consulate at Che foo and the Port Arthur garrison.

At present ue are destrOying the casemates and outer works of he two hundred and three meter hill By several charges we have succeeded in capturing the en- cmy's shelter trenches near the sum init Our forces are now holding a position endeavOring to capture thc whole fort

Corbett fought back hard, but was met with a right swing to the jaw and straight left to the face. Nelson kept up the bombardment, nearly flooring Corbett with q wicked right swing to the jaw. Nelson had Corbett groggy, forcing him against the ropes with blood streaming from his mouth and nose and presenting a sorry spectacle. Corbett was weak and almost tottered to his corner as the gong sounded. This was Nelson's round, by wide margin.
 Round s. They went to close quar- ters at the very outset. Nelson missed several lefts for the face. Nel- son then sent straight to the face and Corbett stalled desperately. Cor betts face soon broke out bleeding afresh. Corbett kept in very close, missed several desperate swings and was then forced into Nelson's corner. Nelson kept begging away mercilessly at his face. Corbett drove a wicked right to Nelson's face, but the latter | handed out a crushing right that ! caught Corbett on the jaw. The fight | ing here was most desperate. Corbett | fought wildly, while Nelson made his blows tell, seldom failing to land. He uppercut Corbett viciously several 1 times with the right and brought more blood from Corbe.'s face. Just be- fore the gong rang Corbett landed a fearful right swing on Nelson's jaw but there was no perceptibIe effect on | the battling demon. It was Nelson's | round.

FIGHTING SEVERE.
Even if Port Arthur Is Not Subjected
 to General Assault.


 Chefoo. Nov. 29.-Chinese and Jap anese advices received here today. while not beyond question, indicate the practical certainty that another gen eraI assault on Port Arthur began No vember 24 and was continuing on No vember 27. It is certain that there has been severe fighting. The only question is whether the assault was sufficiently widespread to be called general. The fighting is with the object of capturing additional Russian trenches. The summit forts seeming ly were not attacked. Chinese say that one train of thirty cars recently arrived at Port Dalny with wounded men. No prisoners were captured.
 As frequently indicated, the Japanese position is the most promising at Rih- lung mountain and Kekwan mountain, and the latest attack was designed to further increase the power of these positions. A detachment of the elev- euth division began the advance dur ing the afternoon of November 24, fol- lowing several days of bOmbardment, rushing against the trenches guarding the approach to the southeast fort of the KeI1wan mountain group. The Japanese artillery in the meantime was throwing all the metal possible against the Rihlung mountain and Antzu mountain forts.
 The possession of the trenches was ssubbOrnly contested After five hours of fighting, and several repulses,

THE ROIINnS

Round l. Corbett walked coolly to the center. Nelson was the first to move, missing left and. right swings for the jaw. COrbett lunged out wick edly. Nelson slipped to the floor. in avoiding a blow. Corbett Cleverly ducked a tremendous left swing and then chopped his right to Nelson's face. They spared for some time, appar- ently sizing each other up. Finally they went to close quarters without damage. Corbett rushed in viciously, but missed a right and left for the body. Nelson shot his left lightly to the face and in the mix, sent a right to COrbetts body. Corbett then swung bis right to the head heavily and the bell found them in a fruitless mix up. No blows of consequence were landed in this round. Corbett was very cool while Nelson was a trifle anxious.
 Round 2. After sparring both missed lefts, Nelson getting in left lightly to COrbett's face and ducking a vicious right uppercut. COrbett rushed to d clinch and in a vicious mix Nelson placed some good Iefts on Corbett's s body and a right to the jaw. Nelson was short with a straight left. Corbett rushed. feinted with the left and drove his right hard to Nelson's head. 4 similar blow went wild and they again went to close quarters, mixing 1t with out damage. Quick as a flash. Corbett hooked his right to the jaw and NeI- son retaIiated in kind with a right to face. Corbett then changed his tactics and tried straight Iefts for the jaw. Out of five attempts. two were sue cessful. Corbett was bleeding slightly
