an order to the sheriff to adjourn court
until two o'clock In the afternoon and
when the officer refused to comply he
was fined $500. Three subsequent Or
ders were given by Judge Marsh and
each time the officer refused to carry
out the order and was fined $500 in
each case. Finally Judge Marsh
threatened to cause the arrest of the
sheriff and the latter complied with
the order. The fines, however, remain
standing against the sheriff Judge |
Marsh and Judge Montgomery are of |

laps Fix Limit When Port Arthur
Garrison Must Give Up.
STOESSEL SAID TO Be in HOSPITAL
Toxic Says Russian Shells Are Made
Partly Of Killed Wood, indicate
ing Shortage Of Ammunition--
steamer Puts into Chefoo.

Chefoo, Nov. 16.-The Japanese ar
pressing the fighting for possession o
Port Arthur, assaults being made al
most continuously upon the eastern
line Of defenses.
A correspondent at Toxic says thai
all accounts from Port Arthur concur
in attributing the merit for the stub
born defense which is still being main
tanned there to Gen. Fock, who COM
mands the Russian left. Leading To
ko newspapers, the same correspond
ent says, declare that the facilities
given the Russian second Pacific
squadron to coal in French ports Is
analogous to granting passage to bel
ligerent troops through neutral terri
tory.
Russian artillery shells at Port Ar
thur are made partly Of killed wood
and do not explode. This shows that
the Russians are short of material for
making heavy ammunition. The cap
ture of the eastern fortified ridge will
mean the surrender of the fortress in
a couple of weeks unless the garrison
there retires to the isolated fort. This
seems improbable, however, and cold
weather and the lack of food and am
munition renders desperate resist
ance unlikely.
The Russian torpedo boat destroyer
Ratstoropony put into this harbor this
morning. Firing was heard half an
hour before she entered the harbor.
A snowstorm and high wind was pre-
vailing at the time and 1t is believed
that the Russian vessel under cover of
the storm attempted to escape from
Port Arthur. 1t is reported that a
Japanese torpedo boat destroyer has
been seen outside, watching the move
ments of the Russian vessel.
1t Is reported that wound received
by Gen. Stoessel has necessitated his
in hospital, that he re-
fuses to relinQuish the command of
he garrison and that he has issued
orders to the troops to die at their
posts rather than surrender. 1t is said
hat the spirit Of the Russian troops
las been dampened by continuous
york, the lack of supplies and the
of their ability to make T
my successful defense of the fortress.
I is said further that many Of the
russian soldiers are ready to surren-
Ter, but that they are kept at their
'osts by officers who threaten them
Nth revolvers and that several SOL
iers who were suspected of desire
o desert have been shot as warning
D other would-be deserters. The
apanese now believe that the gar
lson has almost reached the limit Of
uman endurance.

IS Tie Man DEVIL?
Adolph Weber Accused of Killing
Parents, Brother and Sister.
BRUTALLY COOL IN FACING CHARGES
Crime That Shocked Auburn, Call,
Less Than Week Ago Seems to
Have Been Solved by Unex-
pected Arrest.

Auburn, Cal, Nov. IA. Adolph
Weber has been placed under arrest,
charged with the murder Of his par
ents. sister and young brother last
Thursday night and with having set
the family residence on fire after
ward to conceal the crime. Weber
took his arrest oeolly, but was alive
to what he considered to be his legal
rights. The, arrest took place imme-
diately after he left the witness stand
and after he had reluctantly answered
the questions propounded to him by
Coroner Shepard.
The latest theory in the Weber muir
der case is that the murderer shot the
father first, then as the sister appeared
In the hall he shot her and then the
mother, seeing what had been done,
screamed and started from him, when
he shot her. She continued on across
the room and, raising her left hand,
took down the telephone receiver to
call for help, at which time she re-
ceived the second shot, which pene-
trated the body just under the left
arm. The child, being the only one
left, the murderer struck him over the
head and felled him. The operator at
the central telephone Office says that
the line that the Weber residence is
on showed busy" at about half hour
before the fire was discovered by Chris
Henley. Adolph Weber was seen in
jail. He had nothing to say beyond
that he had good nights rest. He
ate a good breakfast and called for
some milk, which the jailer did not
have. No efforti has been made as yet
to get the young man out on writ ny
his attorneys.
Weber's description Is said to tally
with the robber who recently robbed
the bank here. 1t will be recalled
that after the daring robbery in the
middle Of the day the robber drove
rapidly down the road leading toward
Newcastle for about half mile and
shen left the rig and took to the hills.
At that time I. S. Palmer went to his
home and, being an expert rifle shot,
ook his rife with him and went after
he robber. Upon reporting the spot
where the buggy was abandoned he
loticed man climbing the hill on the
opposite side of the road from that
which the robber was supposed to
ave taken. Upon overtaking the man
e found him to be Adolph Weber.
ulius Weber missed one of his home-
,ade money bags about this time,
vhich tailed very closely with the
ne used by the man who held up the
ank.
