One of the conditions to which the trustee

Of this city put a thug out of action
last night and saved herself from rob-

Mrs Van Horn, who is a handsome
young woman, said: Il came from a
professional call and crossed Corbin
Park. intending to board a car on the
South Side. / heard man approach
from the rear. / said: What do you
want?' and he answered: i want your
money. and l want it quick.
Il was about to hand over my purse

him a kick in the abdomen. He dropped

The robber had disappeared when the

MUKDEN, June 12.-General kuroki
is rapidly advancing northward from
Fengwangcheng. The two armies viii
soon be in touch. The japanese cav
airy have reached Siamatsza, where
Russian detachment fought with a
brigade, the Russians afterward retir-
ing.
LIAOYANG, June 12.-Ensign Marilo,
who has returned from the battle of
SaimatsZa, fought on June Z, says that
the japanese lost about 300 men.
He speaks in the highest terms or the
work OF the Red Cross doctors, Poosen
and Bentesh. who attended the wound
ed under fire. When the order came
TO retire these doctors refused to leave
the station until the last of the wound
ed had been brought out and attended
10.
After the battle a wounded Russian
was found with his tongue cut out.
There is a general disinclination to
attribute this mutiIation to the Japan
csc, after the kindness which they had
previously shown to the Russian
wounded, and il is believed TO be more
probable that IL was the work of Chi
nese bandits.
II is alleged that during the engage
ment the Japanese again misused the
Red Cross by getting within 400 yards
under its cover and then firing vol
leys.
Reports of the Siuyen fight Of June
say that the Japanese lost 100 killed
and the Russians one killed and TWEEN
ty-one wounded. including two officers.

JAPANESE GOLD GOES TO RUSSIA
Peculiar Condition Resulting From
Freak of Finance.

NEW YORK. June IA Wall street
summary quotes from the Paris FL
nancial Review the following to show
what freaks finance may sometimes
take:
1T has been pointed out that the
gold shipments from Japan to the
United States. caused by war eXpendi-
lures. have reached $2s. 900. 600. and now
the United States has used this gold
TO pay for American participation in
the japanese loan fiOated in London.
But, as 1t happened. the London
market was in position where 1t was
forced to send the gold to Paris, in
the course of exchange.
ITO avoid drafts on it's own gold re-
serves, London, instead of taking for
itself the gold about TO leave the
United States, directed il to Paris
1.-The precise result is that. as Paris
was then establishing a Russian gold
credit on a basis Of its loan. Japan's s
gold has been placed at the disposal OF
the Russian Government"

Destroy Much Growing Grain
and Pasture.

BYRON, June PA destructive fire
started in the grain fields near here

extinguished had burned over an area
four miles long and one and one-half
miles wide. The total loss is estimated
at $1,000, fully covered by insurance.
The fire started from spark caused
by harvester striking a rock A
strong wind was blowing. The flames
burned fiercely for two hours. About
300 acres of standing wheat and 1000
sacks of barley were destroyed, as well
as 1000 acres Of pasture. The farm
house of Manuel Pamatell narrowly es-
capped destruction. The grain burned

Eight hundred infantry and no cav

these are the only troops Japan main
