encountered in the strait of Corea a
japanese transport steaming from the
south in the direction Of the japanese
coast which was visible on the hori-
zon.
s.On the expiration of the time given
those on hoard to lower boats and
leave the ship. permission to do which
was taken advantage of by part OF the
crew, the transport was sunk by our
guns,
"Shortly afterwards two more trans
ports were sighted to the southeast.
The ships proved to be the Hitachi
and the Saudo, the former with troops
and the latter carrying coolies, horses
and railway plant. The transports
refused to surrender and at the end
of the period granted those on board
to take to the boats the two vessels
were sunk by torpedoes and shells.
ssThe losses of che three transports,
the tonnage of which aggregated 15,-
600 tons, consisted of a portion of the
troops and crews, a large quantity OF
war material and the railway plant.
"On June 10th our squadron met the
British steamer Attention, which was
proceeding south with cargo of coal
from the port of Mourorun, island OF
Hokkaido (the administrative name
of the japanese island of Yezzo). The
lack of clearances in her papers and
the irregulari5y of her log excited sus-
picion concerning the neutrality OF
her cargo. The steamer therefore was
sent to Vladivostok in charge of de-
tachment of soldiers commanded by
Lieut.. Pitrof. She has arrived at
Vladivostok where prize court will
consider her case.''

Eighty-Fifth Anniversary Of
the Order Celebrated by
Fitzgerald Lodge.

The eighty-ffth anniversary
OF Odd Fellowship in America
was celebrated by Fitzgerald
Lodge, No. IS, I. o. o. F., Tues
day, April 20.
The occasion was a complete
and happy success. Visitors
from all over the United States
and from sister lodges in Geor.
g1a were present. In fact, the
hall was filled to OVERLOOKING.
The program was all that
could be expected from this pro.
gressive lodge.
The music was furnished by
quartette of Odd Fellows, COM
posed of Messrs. Lee, Thurston,
Aagerstrom and Gillespie.
Grand Master Hynds is one of
the most eloquent lawyers of
Atlanta, and has Odd Fellowship
at heart, and his address was the
most eloquent and instructive
ever delivered on this subject in
Fitzgerald.
Brother Ed. Mahan recited a
poem and made a short address.
The lodge put on the Third De-
gree for the entertainment of the
visiting brothers, and Grand
Master Hynds congratulated the
lodge on it's perfect work. In
fact he attributed the great sue.
cess of the order in this state to
the team work which Fitzgerald
lodge started in motion one year
ago by sending out a challenge to
the lodges of the state to com
pete at the last Grand Lodge.
After the program was rem
dered, an elegant and sumptuous
banquet was served.
The Rebekahs then conferred
the degree on five candidates in
a very able and perfect manner,
and their team deserves the
support and encouragement oil
all Odd Fellows.
The occasion will be remem.
bered as red-letter day by al
Odd Fellows who we're fortunate
enough to be present.

Are They Bank RobbeIs7

Another sensational story which
should be swallowed with a little salt
comes from the little town of Her
bert, located on the Haileyville and
Ardmore branch of the Choctaw. In
substance the story is that five men,
supposed to be the Ravia bank rob.
bers, were seen yesterday afternoon
by party of hunters three miles
south of here and a serious shooting
affair was narrowly averted The
hunting party had agreed to meet at
the junction of two small streams,
which is an ideal place for outlaws
TO hide, and as there were four in
the party, all carrying rifles and shot
guns, they had the appearance OF
United States marshals
These supposed bank robbers were
oncampod under a ledge of rocks and
the hunting party walked almost into
their camp before either party knew
of the approach The owlaws had
splendid horses, but mono Of them
were saddlcd When the hunters dis
covered the camp they ar once became
suspicious and hastily rcreate1.
While walking rapidly away the rob
bers ran after them but no shots were
fired The hunting party came to
town and reported the matter and 10
