Liberty, Ind, June 2S.-In an en-
counter with huge snake, Of an un-
known species. near the mouth of a
cave in the hills in the southwestern
part Of the county, Norman Jones, a
young farmer of athletic build, almost
lost his life Jones, who had heard
that the cave was the haunt of a snake
saw the reptile summing itself as he
approached the cave Saturday. Seiz-
ing club he attacked the snake, be-
lieving he could kill it with little
trouble. But the snake proved a for
midable adversary and the desperate
encounter which ensued was continued
for almost an hour.
Falls produce :he "sarpIent"
At one time Jones says the snake
coiled about his neck and was slowly
strangled him when he managed to
cut it almost in two with his pocket
knife. The snake released it hold and
dropped to the ground, and believing
the reptile dead, Jones made his way
to a nearby farm house. He re-
turned with two men who were to as
sist him in skinning his prize. But the
snake had disappeared in the cave,
leaving bloody trail behind it.
Snake Was "PsrIous" Monster.
Jones says the snake was aImos.
twelve feet long and that his black
body was at least three feet in circum-
ference. Its head was large and fat
and yellow streak ran from its head
to its tail down the middle of it's
back. Jones declares he will explore
the cave, and kill the snake if he can
find any one to aid him. 1t is said
that parts of the cave, which was once
the rendezvous of robbers, has never
been explored. In recent years many
persons have seen the snake near the
mouth of the cave, and for that reason
the place has been given a wide berth.

RACE FEELING RUNNING HIGH
Suburbs of Muncie Are Wagiug War Or
Negroes Because of Recent Grim
iual Acts.

Muncie, Ind, June 2S.-Race feel
ing is running high at Riverside and
Normal City. two Muncie suburbs,
where negroes have been frightening
women, and where two homes have
been entered by colored men after
nightfall lately. No strange negroes
are allowed in the suburbs after
nightfall. Edward White, who was or
dered from Riverside. appealed to the
police.
Practically every male resident of
the suburb has armed himself, and
the edict has gone out that unknown
negroes who are found on the streets
after nightfall are liable to be severely
dealt with. All negroes of Normal City
were ordered to leave several months
ago, after an attack had been made
upon a white woman by a negro,
who was run down by mob and who
was finally sent to the penitentiary.

WHEN KUROPATKIN STANDS


st. Petersburg, June 29.-The situa-
ton in the Far East is undoubtedly
critical. According to dispatches re-
ceived here, including one from Gener-
al KurOpatkin, the Russian outpOsts
and the Japanese advance are now in
close touch at all points. The Russians
after harrassing the Japanese advance
from each oof the positions taken In
the battle of June % and 81, are fall
ing back on General KurOpatkin's
main body. General KurOpatkin is
the railway, and wherever he makes
his stand there will be precipitated
what is expected to be the decisive bat
tie Of the campaign.
In the meantime General Oku is ad-
vancing along the railroad on the heels
of the withdrawing Russians. He is
backed bya powerful army. How large
q portion of this army he has detached
to join General Kukori has not been
developed.
The fight of the 26th and 9th which
| ended with the six hours battle report
ed in a dispatch from London, is called
the Dalin Hill fight. A dispatch from
Hal Cheng says: THE total losses in
the Dalin Hill fight are not yet known.
Eighty wounded have arrived here and
on Sunday last a hospital train with
200 passed, going to Lao Yang. The
fighting lasted the whole of June 26
and June p and the japanese success
sively pushed the Russians from three
positions, occupying them with artil
lery as the defenders retired
Wounded Russians recounting the
two days fight say that the japanese
again demonstrated their reliance on
their artillery, and that they were
greatly superior, both in number Of
men and in guns On the second day
of the fight they brought up heavy
battery which silenced the lighter Rus
sian guns and caused severe loss"

London, June 29.-Defeated In three
battles among the mountains east Of
Lao Yang, with his retreat threat
ened to be cut off. General Kuropat-
kin is retreating rapidly to the north
according to reports from st. Peters
burg and the Far East late yesterday.
This move was ordered by the gen.
eral staff at ST. Petersburg, according
to a report current in the Russian
capital, because it was feared the en-

Russian Situation Is Bad.
It is thought extremely doubtful
whether Kuropatkin will be able to
retreat beyond Lao Yang without sac
rificing great numbers of his men.
The soldiers under Stackelberg and
Sakharoff are being abandoned to their
fate, and must fight their way through
the japanese lines converging upon
them. The Japanese now hold Motien-
