SAINT But most of the captains atten-
ton was directed toward the sea,
where splendid fight was in progress.
The captain says he estimated that
about fifteen warships, big and little,
were engaged on each side. There was
one fine duel. A Japanese battlesh1p
engaged q Russian battieship and the
two steamed up and down. delivering
constant broadsides.
Then there was mighty tragedy.
One large Russian cruiser was seen to
Stagger under an explosion, either OF
a torpedo or her own magazine, and
then, within three minutes go down,

and men with her.
Often the captain and his compan-
ions were forced to lie fat to escape
the shells. but it was q magnificent

time, 1 assure you. l hope never to
have another such experience, how
ever, as | expected that each moment
would mark my end. The Japanese
last shot was fired at IL 80, the battle
lasting just forty minutes; but it was
too hot to last much longer"
Then the Japanese fleet withdrew,
and Captain Gray and his officers left
their shelter under the forts at the
west harbOr mouth and rOwed back to
the Fuping. Shells had fallen thickly

it went through two decks and landed

The BATTLE OF
PORT ARTHUR
Eyewitness Story of the .Japa-
nese Bombardmcn1.
MAGNIFICENT MARINE DUEL.


G. f. Curtis, who Was In the BAT
tered Russian City When the Mi
lkado's Fleet Arrived, Yells How
the Attack Turned the Russian
Revel Into a Panfc-EHective work
OF Japanese Shells-Flfght OF the
Women.
The following graphic account of the
first days naval fight at Port Arthur
in the Russo-Japanese war was resent
ly received at San Francisco from
George f. Curtis, an American lawyer
and former assistant librarian m the
United States congress. Part Of his
account is that of an eyewitness and
part Of 1t is gathered from Captain
Gray, of the Fuping, which was in the
harbor of Port Arthur at the, time of
the fight OH Feb. ., says the New York
American:
There was revelry in Port Arthur on
the night of Feb. 8. No one INDUCED
a thought Of danger. The cafes, the
theaters, the circus were open and
agleam. Many naval officers were
ashore. Many officers from the forts
mingled in the revel. Men Of the feet
and of the Notifications were on leave
There were feasting and dancing. The
wine popped. women dimpled, men
laughed and made love.
Then, as upon the rout on the night
before Waterloo, heavy sound broke
in. There was pause, and some
asked queer questions. Again and
again came the thunderous sound. All
y
but the revelry went on. Nobody
shifted a battle. The guns were the
guns of the forts afkhe harbor mouth,
men said-there was some praeticing.
| Admiral Stark had been iii attend
ance at q dinner. He had no word
| that war had been declared. He linger
! ed over the wine and beneath the
| smiles of the pretty women. But by
| and by his quick ear detected another
note-the cry of his own guns. Still
no thought Of war seemed to f1eck his
| merrymaking. But the first of the
| cool dawn. when the later jewellers
were seeking their homes, showed the
grim results Of the daring night attack
| OF the Japanese
| That is how Japan caught Russia off
her guard and inflicted crippling
blow. The sounds of the night and the
sight of the morning were common to
all of us, but now let me give to you
the story and experience of Captain
Gray. of the Fuping, as he gave them
to me.
The Fuping Is the property OF the
Chinese Engineering and Mining COM
pany. Captain Gray saw at once that
the harbor of Port Arthur was no
place for his peaceful craft. He saw,
too, that there was much question as
to whether he could navigate her be-
tween the two stranded warships, the
Cesarevitch and the Retvizan. So Cap
tain Gray started out in gig to as
certain the conditions at the harbor en-
trance. The gig passed out between
the battleships, where the harbor en-
trance is not more than 1900 feet in
width, and reconnoitered the beached
cruiser and transport Suddenly big
shell fell In the water, not more than
half dozen feet from the gig. Cap
tain Gray saw that the shell came
from the Japanese feet. Captain Gray
and his comrades were in the middle
of things and they Immediately beach
ed the gig and sought shelter under
ledge of rocks.
The Japanese fleet steamed up and

A strictly amateur base ball team has
been organized in Athena, and the first
game of the season will probably be
played on the Athena grounds Sunday.

Walsh, recent arrival, who it is said
possesses left pitching wing with all
kinds Of springs necessary for twirling
purposes. The team embraces some
husky lads, who have been tossing the
ball around the diamond for several
years, and should, with proper coaching,
give good account of themselves. The
line up follows:9
Frank Walsh, captain, pitcher; Clar-
ence La Brache, catcher; Geo. Myrick,
1st base; Henry La Brache, pitcher and
End base; Denver Charlton, Ord base;

The matter is of particular import

Despite the dry spring and summer,

NARROW ESCAPE
Drunken Man Rescued From the Uma-
tiIIa River.


Pendleton, April Two intoxicated
citizens early last evening started in
to walk off burdensome jag, and after
proceeding several blocks, decided to
take jaunt down the Umatilla river.
They walked along the levee for a dis
tance of about two blocks when one of
them lost his bearing and tumbled into
the river. The other was badly fright
ened and called for assistance. He was
making a desperate effort to save his
drunken friend, but he was so intoxi-
Gated himself that he was unable to
render much succor. People living in
the vicinity were attracted to the river,
and in the meantime Marshal Carney
was summoned. The officer arrived just
in time to save the man from drowning,
those who had assembled we're them
selves too badly frightened to aid the
man. The officer finally rescued the in
diyidual and Immediately escorted him
and his partner to the city Jail.

HORSE KICKED HIM
FRANK N0RVEsKI SERIOUSLY
INJURED WEDNESDAY.
Helped Into Town and Becomes De-
ranged TO Control Him Il
Took Six Men to Tie Him.

Frank Nowitzki, harnessmaker in
the employ of VIC. Miller, was kicked
by horse while riding in cart from
Weston, Wednesday evening. In com
pany with Cleve Myers, the young man
was driving along the road, when a
board in the front part of the cart
dropped down, striking the horse on the
heels, causing it to kick. Nowitzki
was struck on the chin and in the breast.
Myers got him on the cart and appar-
emily he was not seriously injured.
On arriving in town he went directly
to Mrs. Miller's. He informed that lady
he was not hurt to speak of, and would
be all right in short time. While she
was engaged in washing the blood from
his face, he began to act queerly and
told her to send for DR.. Stone. By the
time the doctor stepped in the man was
completely deranged, and by sheer force
had to be carried to the doctors office.
Here he became SO violent that it took
six men to hold him down and strap him
to cot. His rawlings we're such that a
gag had to be inserted in his mouth,
aud in this position he was carried down
to the Athena Hotel.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Nowitzki be-
came rational to some extent, and talked
fairly intelligently when aroused by DR..
Stone. Today he is much moreimproved
but DR.. Stone says surgical operation
will be necessary to afford permanent
relief. NM

RoosEVELT's SURRENDER

The Brooklyn Citizen, the leading
Democratic journal Of that borough OF
Greater New York, says of President
Roosevelt's references to the trusts in
his recent speech of acceptance:
"The citizen who can be fooled by
any such discussion of so grave ques-
ton cannot be distinguished for mental
acumen He must want to be humbug-
ged. The obvious fact is that the
president has surrendered to the trusts
just as he has surrenered to the tariff
robbers, and that his hopes of success
in the campaign are based upon what
may be accomplished in his behalf by
mere party prejudice combined with
the power of vast campaign contribl-
tons
