SUIT AGAINST PEARSON
FOR HIGHTON'S BIG FEE
VIII Have to Answer in
Court Here.

court Here.
Following the story Of H. II. Pear
sons successful evasion of service of
summons in a suit for $4,000 while
hiding in the bunkers of the steam
ship China at Honolulu, a suit was
filed yesterday in the local Superior
Court for the recovery of the sum
named. The plaintiff is L. S. High
ton, who says that he holds Henry E.
Highton's assignment for the claim
The complaint was prepared by At
torneys Sullivan & Sullivan and the
papers were served on Pearson as he
emerged from his bathroom, by a pri-
vate detective. Pearson was too sur
prised to make any comment.
Henry E. Highton was practicing
law in California in 1886, when he
was engaged to defend Pearson at
Salt Lake in a trial for murder. Pear
son was acquitted and went to the
Orient. Highton, who has since re-
moved to Honolulu, learned that
Pearson was on his way to San Fran
cisco on the China and made arrange
ments to have him served with the
summons while in the Hawaiian port.
The officer. however, was unable to
find him on the boat

1T IS impossible at present to Judge
of the situation. To do this we prob
ably will have to wait some days. Our

final success.

TELL OF JAPANESE VICTORY.

LONDON, Oct. 15.-AH accounts of
the fighting south of Mukden that have
reached London appear to confirm the
completeness of the Japanese victory
and the only question discussed by mil
itary critics is whether General Kuro-
patkin will be able to make as orderly
a retreat as he did from LiaOyang or
whether the Japanese possess sufficient
fresh reserves to undertake a success
full pursuit, in which latter case it Is
believed the Russians will be COM
PEELED to abandon Mukden. In this
connection, the Standards Yentai cor
respondent, in dispatch. asserts that
General Oku's army has occupied
Pachiatze, only twelve miles from Muk-
den. 1t is considered here, however,
that the Japanese advance could hard
ly have pushed as far as these reports
make it appear and probably the error
arises out of the difficulty of locating
places mentioned in various reports.
A dispatch from Toxic to the Stand
ard says:
1T is unoff1cial1y reported that the
japanese right army has succeeded in
isolating a force of Russians in the
Bensihu- Kiaotoan district. 1t is ru-
mored that Kuropatkin himself is with
the force, which seems doomed to de-
struction. The central army captured
eleven guns and the left army twenty
five guns, while the spoils of the right
army are expected to be still more val
liable. 1t is believed here that the dis
astrous advance was forced on General
Kuropatkin from st. Petersburg In
any case his move was an unexpected
gOdsend for the Japanese army"
Nothing reliable has thus far been re-
ceived concerning the fate Of the Rus
sian force reported to have been iso-
lated in the vicinity of Bensihu.
The Standards correspondent at Yen
tai, under date of October 10, says:
THE whole Russian line has been
driven back over a distance of twenty
miles. and seventy guns have been cap
| tured. Pursuit is being kept up by a
strong force on both TANKS. There Is
good reason to hope that Oyama has
succeeded in enveloping the enemy. The
cause of the Russian defeat is that the
| Japanese army drove a wedge into the
middle Of the enemy's line. Prisoners
say General Kuropatkin personally
| commanded the troops on the MAR
road and that General Mistchenko was
in command at Bensihu. A brigade Of
infantry and regiment Of cavalry
crossed the Taitse River but found
| themselves in a critical position and re.

nese in pursuit. The Japanese hurled
back sixteen counter-attacks upor

Russian Troops.

SOUSZOUTAM twelve miles south
of Mukden, on the railway, Oct Is (de-
layed in transmission).-A Russian cor
respondent telegraphs as follows:
For over two days the battle has
ragged ceaselessly. 1t was close to mid
night of October 10 when the Japanese
attempted to surprise and attack our
frontal positions in the impenetrable
darkness and hurled the full force of
their battalions against our intrench-
ments. The darkness was split by the
blaze of their rifles and the answering
Volleys of our men. The attack never
ceased for hours. We lay close, hug
ging the intrenchments, with but a few
minutes of respite, every mans gun to
his shoulder, firing at the flashes until
near dawn. when the evil boding rifle
fire ceased and even the distant batter
les were silent. We watched the day
light break in bands Of red and yellow
The clouds, seemingly tinged with
streaks of blood, hung over the silent
valley, which might have been empty
for all the signs of life it gave, while
from the plain below us rose dark and
silent hills, like the silhouettes of tomb
stones through the half-light. The fog
thickened, covering low-lying places.
Nothing could have better suited for
to-day's duel between two races.
Day had hardly lightened the slope
of the tWo-horned mountain when our
batteries began to cover it with shrap-
mel. Puffs of white smoke marked the
landing of each shell. With the
naked eve we could SEQ the JananaSa
being shelled out of their trenches.
First one and then groups of three
and four black figures sprang into
view, squatting down, running for
cover or scurrying away among the
rocks, but the shells followed them,
tearing up the rocks.
Japanese fell literally like wheat
thrown by the hand of a sower On
the mountain beside the Buddhist tenn
pie our battery was also working Then
another opened from the opposite side.
The Japanese fed so quickly that the
gunners could hardly follow them.
Soon Japanese resourcefulness showed
itself. They fred the big native village
on the side of the two-horned noun
tain, rightly guessing that the wind
from the east would carry the smoke
toward us, making a screen for them
and confusing the aim Of our gun

SITUATION is CRITICAL.

Reports from the left, however only
bring the situation up to yesterday af-
ternoon A high officer of the general
staff says that the situation, while crit
icaI, is not desperate. Kuropatkin is
keeping his head and acting cautiously,
as is shown by his withdrawal of both
wings in the belief that the Japanese
assaults will exhaust themselves. He
says the slaughter was frightful No
estimate of the losses is yet possible,
but they run far into the thousands.
The losses were especially heavy on
the Russian left and center. In single
regiment, out of more than a hundred
officers, only eight escaped.
The same authority says that no in
formation has been received here tend
ing to confirm the report that the Jap
anese are likely to cut off a force on
the Russian left. Neither is the threat
ened enveloping movement against the
Russian right greatly feared, Kuro-
patkin having large number of Cos
sacks on his right, held in leash to
meet just such contingency.
1t is now evident that Kuropatkin's
plan was to press his advance not di-
rectly from the front, but toward the
left for the purpose of getting in the
rear of Oyama's triangle

DIN OF THE RIFLE FIRE.

From o'clock in the morning the
fight ragged. Along the whole line the
internal din of the ref1e fire continued
as on the previous day, but up to noon
the japanese batteries gave no sign
of life 1t developed that they were
waiting to locate our positions before
opening fire Even after they com
menced it was not so heavy as the
previous days bombardment.
Far to the westward the Japanese
but there we are safe and have suffi-
Client forces to meet them. Two stimuli
taneous turning movements are pro-
ceeding, theirs and ours.
Reports of heavy losses during the
night attack are coming in. The
Tomsk Regiment suffered terribly. OF
the brilliant Tamboff Regiment few re-
main. The troops fought like heroes
throughout the hours of darkness and
the morning found most of them dead
on the ground they had bravely de-
Tended. Those remaining continue to
fight In the big village before us the
remnants of several regiments, after
repelling attacks throughout the night
ensconced themselves in the shelter OF
the walls of the houses, prepared for a
fresh days work.
THE Japanese attack on Temple
! Mountain began at S:45 o'clock in the
morning, but our batteries on each side
kept them in view and repealed the at

FORCE RUSSIANS RIGHT BACK.

A later dispatch from General SAX
haroff, sent at o'clock this morning,
explains more of the operations of Oc-
tober IL and 10, in which it appears
that the Russian center was due north
of the Yentai mines, the right running
west a short distance beyond the rail-
road and the left sweeping southeast
ward toward Bensihu. The real bloody
work did not begin until Wednesday,
when the japanese made series of de-
tarmined attacks on SialiupedZy, about
seven miles north of Yentai, but the
Russians held off their assailants. In
the meantime, however. the extreme
right, comparatively lightly held, was
forced back, thus compelling Kuropat-
kin to slightly draw back his line above
Yentai in order to preserve its align
ment.
On the extreme left, after a deter
mined resistance, the Russians sue
ceeded in carrying the rocky heights
and Hua Pass, north of Bensihu, but
the arrival of Japanese reinforcements,
Kuropatkin says, made it impossible
for the Russians to press their advan-
tage here and as the left. was now too
far advanced. it also was withdrawn
some distance.

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. IAN
other dispatch from General Sakharoff,
dated early this morning, says regard
ing the fight of October II and IL that
the Russians on the right wing de-
Tended their advanced positions and
also portions of the different main po
sitions, particularly in the direction Of
SialiupedZy, until toward evening,
when Kuropatkin ordered them to
withdraw short distance. In spite of
the fact that the Japanese attacks
were chiefly directed against these
troops they held the ground to which
they retired.
On the left wing, after very OBJ
stinate struggle, the Russians occupied
the rocky hills south of Bentsiaputze
and near Bensihu, about eighty miles
north of Yentai, but the arrival Of
large Japanese achievements prevent
ed them from proflting by this success,
and as this body was separated from
the rest of the troops Kuropatkin or
dered it to retire.

Eattenina for Market.

Fowls that are to be marketed
should be confined at least two weeks
before they are to be disposed OF and
should be fed fattening feed. The
fowls that are to be kept during the
winter should not be given the same
kind of feed as these, as there is no
advantage whatever in making them
fat. Without a separation OF those
that are to be fattened from those that
are not to be fattened it is impossible
to prepare the marketable ones for
sale to advantage. The fowls that
are being confined and fattened should
have. in addition to their food. large
supply of fresh water and gril. II
must be remembered that unless the
supply of grit is large the digestive
organs of the birds will soon fail 10
do the work required of them. While
roaming over the farm they were able
10 secure their own grit, but in cap
tIvity this must be supplied by man.
The fancier does not forget this, but
the farmer is inclined 10 because he
is no. making poultry raising a very
large part of the farm operations. and
therefore neglects the little things.

There must be enough water taken in

the farmer that shuts up his fowls and
feeds them on dry corn, giving them
water only twice a day is bringing
about conditions in the digestive or,

The Key to the Situation.

A bulletin of the Illinois station
says: The application of the scales
and the Babcock test to the perform
ance of each COW gives the dairyman
the key to the situation. Where for
merly he had to grope in the dark
and trust to judgment, now he can
find out the truth for himself. With
but little outlay of time and appara-
Gus he can make each COW render an
accurate account of the food and care
given her. This points out the best
individuals from which to select off,
spring in building up the herd. A
rapid improvement may be brought
about by the introduction and use of
a pure bred sire of good breeding
and approved type. The continued
use of the scales and Babcock test
together with good breeding and rigid
selection soon raises the herd to a
plane of greater production and af-
fords the owner greater personal sat
isfaction. Cows that do not respond
to good treatment should be disposed
of at once. In case of doubt the in
dividual may be kept an additional
year, but COW seldom has two "off
years" in succession.
