Checked.

From o'clock In the morning until
0 at night on August 80 the Japanese
forces attacked the Russian positions at
Liao Yang and on the left bank Of the
Taitse river. Both their artillery and
rifle fire were intense. Their main efforts
were directed against the center posi-
tions and left flank. but numerous at
tacks were repulsed along the whole line
Many positions which had previously
been occupied by the japanese were re-
taken at o'clock in the afternoon. The
battle continued until after dark and
only ended at 8 o'clock.
The Russian losses during the day
were considerable, reaching 5000. The
japanese losses must have been heavy as
they were assaulting strong Russian
Positions.
The Russians claim TO have captured
i6 cannon during the days fighting and
to have forced the Japanese back at
many points, badly dem oralized The
battle WAS resumed at dsybreak on the
following day. when the Japanese were
attempting TO get around the Russian
left flank. There is said to be fully
5000 men engaged in the battle on
both sides. the Japanese have an ad-
vantage by about 1000 while the Rus
SLAMS have chosen their own battle
ground. Taking numbers into considera.
ton it is the largest battle ever fought

BALLOT HAS KINK.
Danger That Democrats May Suffer
Greatly.

Democratic voters are being warned
TO carefully dry the ink on their bal
lots next Tuesday. Whether the bal
lot was deliberately arranged for the
purpose or not. the fact remains that
owing the positions occupied by rhe
Democratic and American party tick
cts on the official ballot there is a
likelihood that Democratic and Ameri-
can party votes may be lost if the
markings are not carefully dried. The
Democratic ticket is second and the
American party ticket fourth on the
official ballot. The ballots are folded
longitudinally, which brings the Demo
cratic and American tickets face to
face. Thus if an X is placed in the
circle under the rooster it viii be du-
plicated in the circle at the head of
the American ticket, unless the ink
Is, dry. and the vote will then either
be thrown out entirely or lost so far
as the Democratic ticket outside Of
the presidential electors is concerned
The Republican ticket is so placed
that wet markings on il will fall on
the blank ticket that appears in fifth
place on the official ballot,
The Democratic county committee is
arranging TO prevent the loss of Demo-
cratic votes by securing large quanti-
ties of blotting paper, which win be
furnished voters by the party workers.
and each voter will be advised to thor
oughly dry the ink on his ballot be-
fore folding it.

TRAVELLED ON MAIN ROAD.
Surprising Boldness on the Part of
the Robbers.

Denver, Nov. ga special from Their
mopolis, Wyo.. says:
Sheriff Fenton of Big Horn county
came in tonight from the chase after
the outlaws who attempted to rob the
First National bank of Cody and
killed Cashier Middaugh on Tuesday
last. He had a conference with Sher-
if Slough of Fremont county, and the
two officers viii leave again in the
morning for the Bad Lands, in the
vicinity of Tarby creek. east Of the
Big Horn river. where Benton believes
he has the outlaws surrounded. The
officers will endeavor to prevent the
robbers from penetrating the interior
of the Bad Lands, for, once inside,
their capture would become an eX-
tremely hazardous task.
During the day posses patrOled the
open country between the Cottonwood,
Grass, GOoseberry and Owl creeks.
The fact developed today that the
outlaws. after leaving Cody Tuesday,
travelled over the main country road
to within five miles of this place, then
made a detour to the southwest, and
entered the main road again six miles
out. They have since Travelled by the
main road. This holiness on the part
Of the robbers cannot be accounted for.
A special from Cody says that Colo
mel William f. Cody viii not join in
the man hunt. He will leave tomorrow
with his English and other guests for
a hunt in the wilds northwest of Cody.
