Took Out the Engine.

The locomotive that has been ovei-
hauled at the V. & T. shops for the
new TOnopah road has started for its
destination at Sodaville and is proba-
bly, under coal and steam, by this time
out that way. There was some delay
in taking the engine over the C. & y
F. r, as the locomotive is consider
ably heavier than that IN use on the
road and it was feared that it might
cause some trouble. as the wet we2-
Their had settled the track in a number
of places. la order that no chances
might be taken the engine was cut il
two and the tender placed in one part
OF the train while the locomotive pro-
per occupied another position John

have a fight during the Carnival week

JAPS IN A TRAP.
Russia Lands a Singing Blow to the
Little Brown Men.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 1.-The
Japanese who have been making des
perate effort to take Port Arthur by a
storm, ran into a trap that has for the
time being landed CONSERVATION in the
ranks and set adrift the phase on the
war outlook in the Orient.
for the last week the aJpanese ma
Wy has kept up an almost incessant
fire on the stronghold at Port Arthur.
The land fortresses have been bonn
barded, the war ships in the harbor
have been kept on the move in the at
tempt to seek cover, while the land
batteries have been compelled to use
a great deal Of ammunition in order
to keep the little brown men out OF
the channel way.
On top it all the Japanese COM
mander has issued order that Port
Arthur must fall and by the first day
of March In this endeavor there has
been a great failure.
Yesterday the supreme effort of the
Japs commenced. The battleships OUT
side of the harbor formed on the uot-
side and early in the day the siege
commenced with renewed vigor. The
fire became SO strong that the Russl-
ans were compelled to move the WON
en- and children to the background. In
a number of cases the inhabitants Of
the town were killed by the explosion
of shells in the inhabitant section. In
the meantime the Russian batteries
on the hill, seemed to be suffering sc
seemed to silence one of the great
guns mounted on the heights above
the bay Gradually the fire from thu
land force baceme less and less ant
as it did the squadron of ships on the
outside approached the entrance o
the bay. When within a few thOusan;
yards of the ports mouth and the ia
panese ships were well massed, th'
fire from the supposed land batterie
was opened and with terrible effect
Nearly half of the Japanese war ship
were crippled, many of them rendere:
almost useless, and all were compelle
to withdraw, but not before the Rus
slams had poured deadly fire int
the receding and badly disOrganize
fleet that was making for cover.
The repulse Of the Japanese is with
out doubt the first victory that ha
that Japan has centered on Port A;
thur as the object for conquest an
the absolute defeat CT the plans wit
severe loss is the greatest blow yet dt
livered in the war.
On top Of the defeat of the Japanes
Of their plan, comes the news tia
Russia has landed $4,000 fresh troop
in the field They are the picked reg
ments of the Gar and are all traine
and service men.
Russia is now taking the aggressiS
and it is expected that general Ian
battle will follow inside of the wee
The two nations are now gettin
close enough that skirmishes are :
ported, which shows the condition
affairs in these disputed territories.
The news of the repulse Of the j.
panese has been receivd in st. P
tersburg and a general rejoicing is tt
outcome.
The victors has added a great il
petus to the war like feeling OF tt
people who have forgotten grievance
and are now combining to meet Il
Japanese with a force that is Col C
lated to be crushing.

placed on deposit with the Stockmen's
National bank the sum Of $3.50, and
had the certificate Of deposit with
him when he reached Hayre on his
way home. In that city he made the
acquaintance Of two men who claimed
to be friends of Mr.. Laird and who
soon secured the confidence Of the
unsOphisticated youth.
After being entertained by the two
strangers, Midrum was informed
that he owed them $40 or $50, and
when they demanded payment he
explained that he had only certifi-
cate of deposit for $3.50. He was
finally persuaded to settle by endors-
ing the certificate and turning it over
to the strangers, accepting about $50
in cash and their note for the balance
as change. One of them accompanied
him as far as Chester, to make sure
that he returned home.
Upon his arrival at the Laird ranch
Mildrum told his employer about the
transaction, and Mr.. Laird at once
drove to Chester, arriving there after
midnight and wired the bank to stop
payment on the certificate. The
latter turned up next morning, being
sent for collection through a Havre
bank, and was not paid.
The next StpD in the matter was to
replevin the certificate of deposit
from the bank, which was immedi-
ately done. and it is now in the hands
Of the sheriff. In the meantime, the
victim Of the alleged confidence men
has their $50 in cash, and also holds
their note for $3.50, which is supposed
to be Of questionable vaIue.-River

IS 1T JOHN SMITH?

1t is believed that John Smith, the
man who murdered Marshal Stevens
at HaVre last May, is being held in
jail at Albion, a small town in south
ern Illinois. A telegram has been
received by Sheriff Buckley from
Sheriff Stanley, Of Edwards county.
ILL.,, to that effect, and while there
may possibly be some mistake as to
the identity of the suspect, there is
reason to believe he is the man
wanted for murder committed in this
county and in Wisconsin.
The Illinois authorities, in writing
news Of the arrest, state that the sus-
pect will be held in jail until Thurs
day evening, Nov. 24. and it is hoped
the necessary Identification will have
been made before that time. J. A.
Johnson, formerly chief of police at
kalispell, who had Smith in custody
a few days prior to the Havre murder
and who took photograph of the
accused, has started for Albion to
interview the suspect and determine
whether he is the man for whom the
authorities here have been searching
for the past six months.-RiverP Press.

USED REVOLVER ON ANOTHER BOY
FRIDAY NIGHT.

Victor Binford of Mexico, II years OF
age. was arrested at Mexico as the out
come of shooting ARRAY in that place
Friday night.
While Binford was escorting q young
lady home about 1890 o'clock from the
high school sociable in the town hall,
it is claimed that Arthur Varnev, aged
10 years, came up, and taking hold Of
Binford, began wrestling with him,
finally throwing him down. Binford
was unable to save himself or to resist
the punishment, and it Is alleged, drew
a 32-calibre revolver, shooting twice at
Varney.
One bullet entered over the heart, but,
striking rib glanced off and lodged in
the muscles of the back. Varney walk
ed to the doctors office, where ether
was administered and the bullet located
and taken out. Varney then walked to
his home. Although he is not out of
danger, there being some fear of blood
poisoning setting in, the chances are
good for his recovery.
It is understood that the shooting
was the outcome of an old grudge. The
talk about town is that the village boys
have been teasing Binford the greater
part of the summer about his attentions
to the young lady, and that at several
times assaults have been committed on
him by the lads. Binford is of slight
build and was unable to defend himself
and has been carrying revolver since
the feeling has been manifest.
