death from pneumonia and death by the gal

from pneumonia, but unless his demise in

yard here tomorrow.
Dunn's capture took place at Guilford,
Mo, where, after an exciting chase, he had
taken refuge in hotel. too weak to offer
resistance to Sheriff Spencer and several
deputies who had pursued him across the
country from Rosedae. Shortly after

deputy sheriff in cell at the muzzle of two
revolvers, which had been smuggled in,
Dunn became i'll and was obliged to ask
shelter at the home of a farmer in Rose
dale. farm hand who was present sus-
pected that the fugitive was Dunn. A tele-
gram was sent to Sheriff Spencer at St
Joseph but Mike Estes, brother-in- law
of Dunn, to whose house Dunn had been
removed from the farm, feared that Dunn's
identity might become known and had put
the sick man in a buggy: Deathly sick,
Dunn started on a wild drive across the
country.
Sheriff Spencer and deputies went to Rose
dale on the first train. but Dunn had forty
five minutes start of them. Dunn might
have escaped had he not become so weak
by the time Guiford was reached that in
despair he dismissed his driver and team
and said he could go no further. The mur-

BY A TERRIFIC STORM
Wind Blew Sixty-Four Miles an
Hour and the Barometer
Fell to 2o.23.

rain and winstorm in thirteen years swept
over this city and along the Pacific coast

coaches. All were blown over on their
sides. No one was injured.

mendous waves dashed against the rocky
shore and sent masses of spray over the
huge baths, steel frame building fifty feet

mento was visited last night and to-day

CREAM OF NEWS FROM
WAR CORRESPONDENTS

LONDON, March 11.-Neither the official
nor the independent dispatches published
this morning add much knowledge to the
progress of the war. Speculation regarding
the military situation on the Yalu river Is
most keen. but news of reliable char
acter has been received.
The Nagasaki correspondent of the Daily
Express asserts that 100000 troops have been
shipped from Japan and that a portion of
the second army corps is now on its way
TO Korea.
The correspondent of the Daily Chronicle
at Toxic, evidently referring to the same
movements. cables that the transportation
to northern Korea of three divisions of Jap
anese troops has been completed and that
these men are beginning to advance while
ten divisions of the Second Army Corps have
already been modified
AS an illustration of the curiously con-
Trajectory character of reports from the
far East received here, a correspondent of
the Daily Chronicle at Yin-Chau mentions
Fung- Wang Chang (Which is about forty
five miles northwest of Antung. in Man
churia) as one of several points of Rus
sian concentration, while other correspond
ents have reported that the Japanese have
captured Fung-W -Wang-Chang. Other cor
respondents report that the Russians have
mined all points where it is possible to cross
the Yalu river.
The Shanghai correspondent Of the Daily

Port Arthur is neutralized, probably will
move two armies to the north simultane-
ously. from the southern part of Lao
