Fleets Fighting.

Toxic, March 9.-It is believed here
that there has already been decisive
naval engagement in the vicinity of
Vladivostok.
The Japanese fleet did not, it is sad.
go to Vladiyostok for the purpose of
.bombarding the town, but locate and
attack the 'armored. cruisers Gromoboi,
Rossia, Rurik and the cruiser Bogatyr,
the Russian fleet stationed here. 1t is
understood here that when the. jap
anese feet arrived there on Sunday
last it found:the Russian squadron alb
sent. If this is true, it gave the jap
anese squadron advantage in the way
of avoiding battle close to the inshore
batteries, at the same time putting it
in position to prevent the Russian ships
reentring the harbor. 1t is doubted
that the Japanese withdrew their en-
tire squadron unless the location of the
enemy had been discovered, as it meant
surrendering the advantage of being in
a position between the enemy and the
enemy s base. There is strong POSSIBLE
ity that the Japanese found the Russian
ships in the vicinity of Possievt bay
and gave them battle there. ... N.

LIVES LOST IN PRAIRIE FIRE,
Wind and Fire Damage Thousands of
Dollars Worth of Property.

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Three
persons persisted in the recent prairie
fire and the financial loss by the fire
and the gale is estimated at half a mil.
lion dollars. The dead:
W. h. Meyer. neal, Walter, overcome
while fighting fire.
DR.. Harmon, near Lawton, burned
to death in his stable.
Unknown boy, near Lawton, body
found on prairie burned to crisp.
Further reports of property loss by
both fire and wind indicate that the
first estimate was too low. The dam
age by wind extends over seven count
ties in the southwest. The tota loss
from fire and storm can as yet only be
estimated, but it is the general opion-
inc that they will reach $500, 900.
Scores of persons are suffering from
burns and broken limbs.
The area from which reports of
damage by wind comes covers a hun
dred miles square, and means of COM
munication over the district are mea-
gre. This difficlty is increased by the
fact that poles are burned and wires
blown down. The little town of Fran
CHS was destroyed by fire, but no par
tlculars are given.

SPRINGFIELD NEGRO LYNCHED.
He had Murdered a Policeman Who
Was Stopping a Quarrel.

Springfield, Ohio, March S.-Rich-
ard Dixon, negro, who fatally shot
Policeman Charles Collins, was taken
from the county Jail yard at this place
by a mob of 800 men and shot to death
in the Jail yard. F~ """.
Later the body was hung to tele.
graph pole at the corner of Main street
and Fountain avenue, and the mob
spent half an hour riddling the body
with bullets from several hundred re-
volvers. e
Collins was shot by Dixon while the
latter was in his room in the hotel
here removing his baggage. He had
decided to quit the place, and fearing
trouble with Anna Corbin, woman
with whom he was acquainted, Dixon
asked Collins to go to the hotel with
him. While in his room Dixon and
Miss Corbin quarreled, and Dixon is
said to have shot her in the breast.
The policeman then attempted to ar
rest Dixon, when the latter fired into
the officers body, infiicting fatal
wounds.

Mike Dunn, convicted of the murder
of wealthy farmer named Fenton and
sentenced to be hanged March II, has
escaped from the st. Joseph, Mo-, Jail.
Dunn got possession of two revolvers
that were struggled into the Jail and
forced the deathwatch to submit to be
bound with wire he had used in maxi
ing baskets. He held the Waterman
prisoner all night and forced him to
call the jailer soon after day break.
When the jailer appeared Dunn
threatened to kill the death watch I'M
less the jailer turned him out through

The jailer, to save the Waterman,
did as ordered. Then the murderer
forced the jailer and his BROTHER de-
putty sheriff, to enter the Jail, locked
them up and escaped with the keys.

Berlin, March "a telegram from

that the Russian squadron left Vladi-

of the threed war ships which Japan
is said to have recently purchased from
Chill, and which are now reported to
be in the Pacific ocean.
Russian naval officers are confident
Reitzenstein will achieve his object.
Foreign naval attaches in St. Peters

conviction if he ventures thus far from

of his squadron, which will be over.
