RUSSIANS ATTACK JAP FORTS
SHELLED JAPS IN TRENCHES
NEAR PORT ARTHUR.
During One Attack Of Japs Their
Shells Struck HospitaI-on septem.
Der 6 Jap Troops Captured Some
outpost Trenches, Near Corner
Mountain.

Chefoo, Sept. 12.-According to the
latest news received here from Port
ArInur the Russians, on September 4,
shelled the japanese covered trenches
in front of Palichuang and destroyed
them. Everything was quiet along the
line during the night of August 80, but
in the morning it was seen that the
japanese outposts had crept closer
into the Russian lines.
One incident of the recent lombard
ing of Port Arthur was the striAlng of
the roof of hospital by Japanese
shell. The Japanese fire was drawn
to the hospital by a Japanese shell.
The Japanese fire was drawn to the
hospital by the placing near it by the
Russians of beacon signals.
One small Russian scouting party
succeeded in creeping close to the
Japanese entertainments on Corner
mountain, but the barking of dogs gave
the alarm and prevented further ad-
vance. Japanese reserves poured into
the entertainments and opened fire on
the Russians, but shell from nus-
sian battery landed in the trench and
killed many of the Japanese soldiers
and the remainder retired. This en-
abled the Russians to occupy the
trench until dawn. The trench evil
dentiy was unimportant, for the JAP
anese troops captured some outpost
trenches on high hill which is not
far from Corner mountain, but the ap-
proach later of Russian detachment
caused them to evacuate this position
without fighting.

about this most desirable feat the young
ranchers spent many a merry half
hour, until Ell Burrito with protesting,
ear-splitting "Hee-h -hong" would take
to his heels and refuse to be recaptured
as long as the rooster was in sight.
Aside from the constant delight he
afforded the children, he proved himself
useful in the capacity of guardian of
the household He seemed to know
instinctively when things were not
going properly He was always the
first to announce the approach of a
stranger. The dogs rarely got ahead of
him. When Ell Burrito's loud bray
sounded it was certain that something
out of the ordinary was transpiring
although the events which he announced
were of varying Importance. A bull
fight at the salt-trough. runaway
horse, a stray sheep. a passing freight
ing outfit, any OF the many happenings
Incidental to ranch life on the great
open range" always brought from Ell
Burrito his challenging bray. Often
it would sound in the dead of night,
and although at such times it was
annoying to sleepy folks it always
transpired that something was happening.

household was disturbed by his pro-
longed braying

fastened out of doors with his pistol
in his hand. Soon two shots brought
an alarmed family out of bed. Pres

he had finished his explanation of what
occurred a cheer went up for Ell
Burrito.
