HOW THE SHIP SANK
With It Went Down Small Army of
the Flower of Russia's Navy.

st. Petersburg, April l5.--The AS
sociated Press obtained last night what
is practically the official version of the
sinking of the battleship Petropavlovsk
at Port Arthur, and it clears up to
great extent, the mysterious features OF
the vessels destruction. The version is
as follows:
Retiring before the advance of a
superior Japanese feet which was not
fighting its progress, the Russian squad
ron approached the entrance to the har-
Dor. 1t was shortly after O'Clock in
the morning, and most of the officers
and members of the crew were at break
fast in the flag ship. Vice Admiral
Makaroff was eating breakfast in his
cabin, and the wardroom was crowded
with officers surrounding the tables. On

WILL NOT PAY TAX
o. R. & N. WILL ASK COURT TO
LOWER TAXES.
Suit Will Be in Equity Before Judge
Ellis of Circuit Court in
Near Future.

Pendleton, April Ia. The O. r. & N.
company is preparing for legal fight
against the assessment Of its property in
Umatilla county as placed by Assessor
G. P. Strain last year. ]. W. Morrow,
tax agent for the road, and his assistant
have been in the city for the past two
days going over the records and books
gathering evidence to submit to the
court in an action which will be
brought against the county and the
assessor to have assessment reduced.
The road does not intend to pay the tax
which has been charged up against
them owing to the increased assessment
mado by Mr.. Strain, and they will be
appealed to the supreme court should
the verdicts in the lower courts be
against the railroad.
When seen yesterday Mr.. Morrow did
not state on just what lines the plea for
lower assessment would be made, but it
is understood that the company will ask
the court to lower the assessment on the
grounds Of uniformity, pleading that the
railroad property in Umatilla county is
not more valuable than in other counties
of the state and the Northwest. They
will also attempt to show, SO it is under
stood, that the railroad property values
had been increased out of proportion
with the increase in the value Of other
properly in the county and property
adjoining the company's tracks, The
plea will be that the assessment is un-
equal and that Mr.. Strain was pre-
JUDGED against the company in making
up the assessment
just when the suit will be filed is not
known at present, but it will be in a
very short time as the company is
anxious to get the matter settled before
the taxes becomes delinquent and the
property subject to sheriff sale.

the title of a divorce suit filed in the
circuit court some days ago. The
parties to the suit are well known in
this vicinity, where as husband and wife
they have resided for years. The peti-

amount to $4,000 or more. Peterson,
