When Two Boat Loads Reached
There They Found Their Com
panions' Boat Empty and Bodies
Of Men at Bottom Of Lake.

Boulder, Colo, May 20.-A fishing
party of Colorado and Southern rail-

Owens lake last night, when Foreman
Miller. Telegraph Operator jackson
and Yard Clerk K1ser were drowned
by the capsizing of the boat.
All the dead men are married and
leave families. 1t has not yet devel-
oped how the tragedy occurred, wheth-
err the boat in which the three men
were fishing sprang a leak or whether
one Of the trio fell overheard and his
companions tried to rescue him. The
boat when found was right side up
and half filed with water.
The party left Boulder last night at
Z o'clock on a hand car for Owens
lake. which is a sheet OF water thirty
feet deep. There were ten in the
party, and they had three boats, which
became separated in the darkness. A
wind arose and beat fiercely through
the water. The lake became a huge
wave. Two of the boats hurried to
shore and arrived there safely. When
the wind died down, toward midnight
the third boat was found, with its &C
cupants at the bottom Of the lake.

Washington, D.. c., May 20.-The

an incident which occurred in the

preached. n when directly in front
Of the statue Of George Washington,
he fell to the pavement. A man who
bore n striking resemblance to the
president was in a carriage near by,
and he, with the aid of a negro coach
man. who wore a livery the counter
part of the White house livery, ten
derby lifted the pretended negro to the
fictitious presidential carriage. A man

to a dispatch to Reuters received to.
day. Che Foo today reports heavy
firing heard at Port Arthur this morn
ing. A report from Dalny says the
Russians had regained control of the
railway, but lost it again.
The Japanese force which retreated
numbered 10000 men. In advancing
towards Lao Yang it encountered the
strongly e%ntrenched Russian army of
about $4,000 Monday. The japanese
commander felt it would be unwise
to attack under the circumstances,
and retired rapidly in good order to
Feng-W eng-C heng. The Cossacks har-
raised the japanese ranks, but no gen.
eral engagement occurred. 1t is ex-
pected this force will advance again
with reinforcements from the main
japanese army.

though the sharpshooters did some eff
fective work on both sides. Further
news today is that the warships and
transports have been withdrawn from
the peninsula and important changes
are taking place, to the advantage of
Russia.

three and one-half pounds. Very few
small trout have been caught.
