Not Easy to Name Winters.

With the infusion of a big per cent
of new players in the Cotton States
league the coming season, the task
of picking the pennant-winning team
on form is made more difficult than
ever. If Earle gets some of the stars
he has signed, he will undoubtedly
have good team. Approaching
Earle's abilities, F. l.. Dilley, of Pine
Bluff, who attended the league meet
ing here, was of the opinion that
Vicksburg would be one of the biggest
factors in the race. and this is said to
be the opinion o. most Pine Bluffians
On the other hand George Black burn,
who is to manage Natehez intimated
that the Vicksburg team of 1901
wouldn't be a formida bic aggregation
by any means. He believes CamnitZ
was Vicksburg's salvation last year,
and thinks no man will be secured
that will make up for his absence. On
the whole he thinks Natchez will
have much stronger team than
Vicksburg. Post.

GENERAL KUROPATkiN DOUBTS
THE ABILITY OF HIS TROOPS
TO HOLD ANPlNG.
RUSSIANS WITHDRAW FROM HA|CHeNG
cZAR'S ARMIES SLOWLY RETIRE
AND ARE CONCENTRATING
UPON LlAOYANG.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 4.-General Ku-
ropatkin's armies are now concentrat-
ing upon Liaoyang, falling back re-
spectively upon Anshanshan, Liandian-
sian and Anping. These three points
form a ring of closely knit defenses
around Liaoyang and enable General
Kuropatkin to risk a general engage
ment. The only cause for anxiety is
Anping and General Kuropatkin's
words that he hoped the troops would
hold that place indicate misgiving.
The Japanese evidently realized th@
advantage of attacking this point and
directed their strongest advance along
the Saisatzi-Liaoyang line.
"A brief dispatch from Genera Ku-
ropatkin reports the evacuation of
Haicheng and declares the Japanese
did not continue the attack toward
Liaoyang Aug 2, adding that they evil
IDENTIFY were unable to follow up their
advantage of the previous day owing
to the stubborn resistance of the Rus
slams, coupled with the tropical heat.
The general says the soldiers threw
away their overcoats and equipments
and adds that everything possible was
done to relieve them, but nevertheless
there were great number of deaths
from sunstroke. He does not specify
the casualties of the battle and makes
no mention of the loss of guns.

over this feature of it as briefly as it
feels it can consistently do. But
there are other features of the case

the attempt OF, the relatives of the vic

Canada. /.
The crime is alleged to have been
committed near Souris on. the evening
Of May Goth. The victim, nor her

came to States Attorney Burr. There
being no justice in Souris at the time,
complaint was made before Justice
Peyton and officers started Immediate

become suspicious, however, and fled
to Manitoba and from there to New
Market, Ont. Extradition papers
were issued here and sent to Gov
White for approval and then to Secre-
tary Hay at Washington for his ap-
proval, after which they were forward =
ed to the Dominion government at Ot-
tawa. DR.. MacLaren, who was author
szed in the papers to go and bring
back the prisoner, arrived there before
the necessary documents did, but he
induced Dixon to return without de-
lay. They arrived here July 10th.

protests against the seizure of the
Hamburg-American line steamer Scan

the sinking Of the British steamer

embittering Anglo-Russian relations.

other delay till Aug. 2nd. At the time
OF the change of venue States. Attorney
Burr attacked the old bond on the
ground of insuficiency of surities, but
new and sufficient bond was fur
nished.
Some persons interested in the de-
tense induced the Lounsburys to es.
cape to Canada. But Just about this
time papers were issued for their al
rest and Deputy Sheriff Romanson
traced them to Deloraine. then to
Napinka and from there to Melita, and
they were about to depart for British
Columbia. Romanson induced them
to return to Souris and placed them in
custody of Sheriff Gardner. When
Lounsbury left one of Dixon's bonds
men had withdrawn from the bond,
which caused the authorities to place
him in the county Jail where he has
since remained. When the Lounsbury
family was brought back to Souris
they were taken to the Northern Hotel
and guard placed over them. The
reason for not bringing them direct to
Bottineau was because Mrs. Lounsbury
was fatigued after making this hasty
trip with three weeks old baby.
But this act of humanity was repaid
by Lounsbury again skipping to Can
ada by the assistance he got from some
OF his friends. Miss Lulu, the vitcim
OF the crime, was also seen disguised
in male attire, interested friends hop
ing to get her out of town in this man
ner. Papers were then issued for the
parties who tried to aid in their es-
cape. Mrs. Lounsbury. Lulu and the
rest of the family were then brought
to the county Jail, where they were
made as comfortable as possible, con-
sistent with safe keeping, nurse be-
ing engaged for the three weeks old
baby. Lounsbury, however, had been
induced to return in time for the hear
ing of Dixon and was promptly put
under arrest.
On Tuesday the entire family were
taken to Souris for the hearing. when
the defendent waived examination
The justice bound him over to the dis
trict court. increasing his bond from
50, 900 to $4,000. which he was un-
able to furnish. Complaint was then
made against Mr.. and Mrs. Lounsury
and Miss Lulu On the ground there
was reason to believe that they would
fail to appear at trial. The bonds of
the parents were placed at $1Oo each,
which they furnished. The girls
bonds were placed at $500, which they
have been unable to raise.
At the time of the hearing at Souris,
the girls mother went into Mysteries
and collapsed, and the family requested
that Lula be permitted to stay with
her till she recovered The authori-
ties assented, but on learing that the
father and the girl were again plan
ming to leave for Manitoba the latter
was again taken down to the county
Jail.
The trips of Lounsbury were expen-
sive, but friends furnished the money,
as he had very little means himself.
Some interesting developments are
promised in this connection, as it is a
grave offense to aid prisoners in an at
tempt to escape. The authorities in
tend to prosecute this matter Wig
orously.
The crime of rape in the first de-
gree, with which Dixon is charged,
is a very grave one. the penalty being
from ten years in the penitentiary to
life imprisonment.

THE FAIR
A SUCCESS
The Exhibits Were as Numerous
and the Crowd as Large as Gould
be Expected. - Some Fine Stock
Shown

The Bottineau County Fair. held
here Wednesday and Thursday of this
week, can be said to have been very
successful, when all the circumstances
are taken into consideration.
The weather looked anything but
promising Wednesday morning, COM
sequntly the attendance was small
However, those present witnessed the
carrying out Of good program and
were we'll satisfied.
The stock exhibits demonstrated
that this county has some valuable cat+
tie and some exceptionally fine horse-
flesh. There was one flock of sheep
exhibited and one pen Of pigs.
Much interest was manifested in the
horse races on account of the horses
being owned in Bottineau county.
There were three starters in the free
for all race, which resulted as fol-
lows: III
Horace F. 2-1-1 HE
Ahead 1 1
G. E. D. 3-2-2
Time: 2:32; 2:38; 2:32. n
Ahead became lame in the first heat
and was withdrawn. The race in the
three minute class resulted as follows:
Ben S. IL !
Harry R. 2-2
Dan L. 3-3 !
Major A .-:
Time 3 As: 2 :45. ~
In the pony race Fly took two
straight heats. Babe coming in second
and Buckskin third.
Time: SO; 80. a
On account of the strong wind the
high diver,C. A. Bigney, did not make
the dive from the top of the ladder,
but made his descent from height of
about forty five feet. &
The second day opened under more
auspicious circ umstances and the
attendance was good. The Omen es
cornet band was in attendance and the
selections they renderd were highly
appreciated by the entire crowd.
~ There~were five entries in the farm {;
ers' and green race. The result as was
follows:
Midget Ill
Jenny Lee 1928
Alberta $50
Sue 4-4
Jip 5
Time; "a; 1:34%; IA.
Jip dropped out of the race after
the first heat and Sue after the second.
In the free-for- all there were four
entries resulting as follows:
Horace r. Ill
Hope 2-32
Ben S. 1913
Jessie Hart 4-4-4
Time 2 $50; 2: :37; 2:35.
The mule race with five starters
created no end of amusement. It
seemed to be discussion between each
mule and its rider whether it was the
intention that they should go around
the track or not. In the exciting fin
ish T he Coura n reporter failed to
get the names of the winners.
The stock parade was very pretty
and showed up the thoroughbreds to
good advantage. 1t was vrey much
admired by the people present and
