nese whom he trusts to the effect that
the japanese have occupied every po-
sition surrounding the besieged fort

that both sides suffered tremendous
losses in the operations necessary to
bring about this state Of affairs.
Russians Make AN Admission.
The members of the Russian intel
ligence bureau here. while denying
the report that Port Arthur has been
captured, are inclined to believe the
reports true to the extent that the jap
anese have made greatprogress in their
operations about the besieged fortress.

Lao Yang, Aug. 3.-After fierce
battle the eastern Russian force has
evacuated Yangtzuling, six miles west
of Molten pass.
Toxic, Aug. 3.-General Kuroki has
administered a severe defeat to the
Russian forces which defended the
Russian east flank at Lao Yang, win
ming separate actions at Yushulikzu
and Yang-Se pass. These two places
are twenty-six miles apart, but the
two actions were fought at the same
time. The Russians held strong posi-
tons. r. The thermometer registered
over 40 degrees Fahrenheit, and the
soldiers suffered cruelty from heat ex-
haustion. At Yushulikzu the Russians
had two divisions of infantry and some
artillery, and they resisted the Jap
anese assaults vigorously.
Fight Began at Dawn Sunday.
Both attacks were begun at dawn
on Sunday, July 81. At Yushulikzu
the japanese carried the Russian right
and left wings; but on account of the
strength of the main Russian position
they were unable to press the attack.
The two armies rested Sunday night,
facing each other. At dawn on Mon
day the Japanese resumed the attack.
and by noon they had dislOdged the en-
envy and driven him four miles. to
Laoholing. At Yang-se pass also the
Japanese were successful. Their artil-
lery opened ON the enemy and the in
fantry moved forward from Maku-
meZa.
Capture of Yang-Se Pass.
The attack on this place was made
at i O'Clock on Sunday, and by night
fall the japanese were in pOssessiO 4
of a majority of the Russian positions,
although the enemy had resisted wit !
determination. The japanese force s
passed the night in battle formation.
and another assault was made on Mon
day at dawn. By 8 o'clock Mond ~
morning Yang-Se pass and the sur
rounding heights had been captured.
Too Hot to Fight Rapidly.
General Kuroki explains the slow
ness of these actions by saying that
the difficult topography of the battle
fields made it Impossible to secure good
artillery positions, and that the great
heat fatigued his troops. The Rus
sian force at Yang-Se pass was esti-
mated at two and 0ne-half divisions
and four batteries of artillery. The
enemy retreated toward Tanghoyen.
General Kuroki reports the capture OF
some field guns, but the number is not
given. The Japanese casualties are
being investigated.

Robbers Shoot Down Their Victims and
Get Away with the MoneS.

Robbers Shoot Down Their Victims and
Get Away with the MoneS.
The crime for which these three men
are being hunted was as coldblooded
as any in history. Campbell was in
a buggy, with Hays driving, in charge
of $1,000 which he had drawn from
the Adams Express company here, and
was taking to the Puritan Coal COM
pany's mine to pay of the men. The
money was in q sachel on the seat
between the two men ana DOTH were
armed. 1t was about 1915 a. m Sat-
urday when about three-fourths OF a
mile from this place three men armed
with shotguns fired at the men in the
buggy from the bushes at the side Of
the road. Thirty-seven buckshot pierced
Hays neck and breast and he died
half an hour later.
Campbell was hit I'm theshoulder and
back, from the armpit to the base Of
the neck. He fell from the buggy. and
the thugs came from concealment,
took the sachel and disappeared into
the woods. They were seen by Camp
bell, who later scrawled on a piece
of paper that they looked like Italians
Believing he was going to die he add
ed will i'm these words: II leave all
to my wife" When brought here he re-
covered consciousness and repeated
that the men looked like Italians
Ten minutes after the thugs got away
William Helsel, farmer, came along
I'm q spring wagon, found the two VIC
Tins of the robbers, first finding Camp
bell, whom he lifted into his wagon,
and who still conscious told him
what had happened. Then Helsel went
farther along the road and found the
paymaster's horse and buggy and Hays
body. He tried to lift the body into
his wagon, but 1T was too heavy, so he
drove into Portage and gave the alarm.
He then went back for Hays. while
doctors worked over Campbell. Hays
was not quite dead when brought to
town, but died ten minutes later.
WHOLE POPULATION ON THE HUNT
InfeoO OF Lyncn Law III the AIecfeente
Are Caught.
Meanwhile Campbell had been able
to give an account Of the murder and
robbery, but could only describe the
thugs by saying they looked like Ital-
ians. He was then conveyed to
Altoona and put in the hospital, where
he lies in very critical condition.
AS soon as the news got abroad the
hunt was begun. Campbell was very
popular in the county and nearly the
whole population turned out in the
hunt it being generally understood
that little time would be required. once
they were caught, to send the murder
ers to their account.
From Portage for a radius of ten
miles the farmers, miners, business men
and officers went on guard, and every
road and bypath was watched, while
parties Of men secured the woods and
valleys. Once two men were seen tn
cross the Frankstown road, one carry
ing a sachel, but the men on guard
could not capture them before they
disappeared in the woods.

Snake Was Nailed to the Fence.

Huryying out Norris found that
three-foot spreading viper had been
securely fastened to the gate timber
by a nail through the tail. The reptile
was in such a position that it could
not be seen from inside the gate, and
any one approaching must certainly
have been bitten as he put his hand on
the latch.

Norris killed the snake, and is en-
deavOring to learn who was response
BILE for the attempt on his life. The
viper's bite is highly poisonous, and
the manner in which it was fastened
to the gate makes it certain that the
plan was carefully laid. Norris says
he is at loss to determine who could

to his telephone just after daylight to

The Annual Calf Crop

According to figures published by the National Pfovi-ioncr, there are 23,OO,. OO0 cows of calf bearing age in the United States, and the annual calf crop reaches lG,OJO,OO head. It iz estimated that j,JOO,OOJ of these are slaughtered every year \ larger per cent were killed during the last two years because the cattle herds have rctrogradcd by slaughter, due to the heavy demand for light weight bcevcs. These figures may prove to bc startling in thc fnce pf the available official data upou the subject, but the statement i- npt Wide of the mark. lt must be remembered that calves are more generally slaughtered locally by farmers aud by most of the COCO butchers to this cuntry.

BaIky Horses

\ writer gives the following cure for balky horses: Take small rope and
 firmly attach it to the horses tail. Take a turn on the cross bar or double tree giving slack enough to tighten the traces. If the horse refuses tO pull tighten this rope until the draft comes on his tail. No horse ever refuses to pull by his tail. When the horse starts the tail-hold may be relaxed until the draft comes on the traces again. Many baking horses will refuse to start, and others will start If all right, but if stopped will refuse to pull. The way to treat this form of vice is to pull on the tail rope until the draft comes particu- larly on the tail. Then he will go. The tail draft may then gradually be relaxed until all the draft rests on the traces. Persist in this treatment and perma- ncnt reformation is sure result.
