Russian Irasps An Falling Back On
Lao YAM.
RETIREMENT FROM AAsNANsHAN
japs Made No Attempt to Follow the
Russians, Being Apparently Exhaus.
ted by the Recent Unsuccessful and
Desperate Attacks.

Lilac Yang, Aug SO.-The Russians
retired from Anshanshan after fight
which commenced on the morning of
August &c, and continued in desul-
tory manner all day and night.
Arrangements for battle had been
completed by night when the order
to retire was given on account of the
situation to the east.
The order was received with disap-
pointment by the troops. The retire
ment was made in an orderly manner.
The plain between Anshanshan and
Haicheng was covered with Japanese
troops who burned the bridge and
shelled the railway station after the
Russian retirement.
Liao Yang.-The Russian forces
have been disappointed by another
unexpected withdrawal. The whole
Eastern division and the troops on the
Anshansha position have been ordered
to fall back to positions nearer Lao
Yang, just as the soldiers were ex-
pecting another advance.
The Chinese at Lao Yang are bring
ing out the women and children,
which they usually do when expect
inga Japanese advance.
The Russians had sustained a hot
artillery fight all of August rs on the
eastern front, but held all their posi-
tons.
The explanation is given that the
Tenth corps, especially, General
Herschelmann's division on the ex-
IRENE left, was confronted by a great
ly superior force Of Japanese. Though
the Russians fought bravely and held
all their positions, they had lost an
immense number Of officers.
The rain made thick and binding
mud which almost paralyzed wagon
transportation and made the move
ment of guns even more difficult.
Though the Japanese witnessed the
slow retirement of the Eastern diyis
ion they made no attempt to follow the
Russians, being apparently exhausted
by the duel of August "a and August
rs, and the desperate and unsuccess
full all-day attack on August 26.
Today the sound Of cannonading is
heard palmer in Liao Yang, 1t is
more to the south than to the south
east.
The Japanese seem to be advancing
along the entire front, particularly
moving with large force up the val
ley of the Liao River.

Murder at Lancaster.

A murder and suicide took place at
Lancaster on Tuesday night, Aug. 2.
Peter Henkel, who eight years ago
was in the penitentiary for the murder
of DR.. Ayres, killed his brother-in-
law, Rudolph Wieland. They were
standing at the bar of the Phillips
hotel when Henkel opened fire with a
revolver, emptying it into the body of
his victim. who expired Immediately.
The murderer reloaded his weapon
and fled. The police and citizens
hastily armed themselves and started
in pursuit. Henkel was intercepted
a mile east of the city in an oatfield.
He kept the posse at pay for some
time, but finally, when capture seemed
inevitable, he shot himself. He was
still alive when put into a buggy and
taken to the city, but lived only a
short time.
Before he died he said Wieland had
made trouble between himself and his
wife.
Few words were spoken before the
murder and the exact causes that led
up to it are not known. Henkel has
long been known in this vicinity as a
bad man. Eight years ago he killed
Dr.. Ayres, an old man, with shovel.
Both the murderer and his victim
were neighbors and had been friends.
They owned adjacent farms a few
west of the city. 1t is believed here
that Henkel had long premeditated
killing Wieland, as he purchased the
revolver long time ago.
