CHE FOO, June 21.-A story. which. al
though 1t Is impossible TO confirm It. has
received some credit to-day, tells OF a
Japanese cruiser having been disabled
near Port Arthur and lmping away un-
der convoy OF battIeship and another

seems TO have been brought In by some
native sailors. the cruiser had run in
very close to Port Arthur In pursuit of
torpedo boat. which ran for the har-
bor, when suddenly there was an explo-
sion under the bow of the Japanese ves-
sci. She managed to turn about and In
response to her signals two OF the other
vessels came to her assistance She was
not pursued. Other reports tell of two
OF the Russian vessels being seen several
miles from the harbor and OF battle-
ship and three smaller vessels heading

appears the Russians had sent a strong
reconroitering party to obstruct the
movements of the Japanese column, nd-
vancing from Stu Yen toward Hal Cheng,
where the main Russian army Is now ga Id
to be located. The Russians suddenly
found themselves between two strong
Japanese scouting parties, who imme-
diately opened fire and charged tho Rus
slams. The latter. finding themselves out
numbered. managed to make their es-
cape. but not before they had lost be-
tween fifty and sixty men.
"A strong detachment OF cavalry was
at once dispatched tothe scene OF the en-
counter, but the Japanese had vanished
with their prisoners and their own dead
and wounded leaving only the killed and
wounded Russians on the field. General
Kuropatkin is said 10 be In command at

spected there. as three J apaneae armies

THE ELECTION LOCALLY.
Dunn Carries County, but Democra-
tic County Nominees Win,

Dunn Carries County, but Democra-
tic County Nominees Win.
Elsewhere in this issue will be
found a complete resume of the vote
cast at the election on Tuesday.
Every Republican from Roosevelt for
president to Parks for commissioner,
including Dunn for governor. carried
the county with the exception of
Samuel Larson for register and L,
L. Hanse for sheriff,
While the defeat of Mr.. Hanse was
not unexpected, as it was realizad all
the time that his contest was with a
very popular man. and one who had
twice defeated strong Republican
nominees. vet it was hardly thought
that Mr.. Delahunt would win ont by
the handsome majority Of 359 votes.
It is worthy of mention that each
candidate has commended the clean
campaign which his opponent made.
The defeat of Mr.. Larson was al
most entirely unexpected bv the Re-
publicans, and 10 Gaffney's majority
of 555 was absolutely astounding to
Republicans and Democrats alike.
Mr.. Gaffney was an unknown factor
in politics, and even his friends did
not believe he would win by anything
more than a comfortable majority.
Dunn carried the county against
great odds, with manv strong Repub-
lican workers against him At one
time, johnson would have carried the
county by 500 votes, but Chairman
Beise, the committee and the local
candidates worked hard, and were
ably assisted at the school house rail-
lies by L. @. Spooner, Fred Smith
and J. G. Morrison. Mr.. Spooner,s
address at Chokio Monday evening
was the most convincing speech we
ever beard-and the Chokio vote
shows that his arguments told. Other
notable rallies were the ones held in
Svnnes where Mr.. Smith and Mr..
Beise spoke, and he one held in AL
berta, where Mr.. Morrison and Mr.
Bicknel] spoke. ] B. Ormond made
some good speeches for theDemocrats
Another result of the election which
is gratifying to all tax payers is that
the gross earnings oill-'nd the
other amendments too-carried by
big majority. The gross earnings
bill received 1927 votes out of a total
of 1882, a majority of 1856. We only
hope that the other counties did as
we'll, anG that the bill is passed.
As the old saying is, ''the country
is saved again." and we can now set
tie down to our usual avocations and
love one another.
