IAPS CAPTURED TWO
HILLS AT PORT ARTHUR
Russians Have 1000 Guns Mounted to
Cover Plain.

OhefOo: S. A. Serebrinill, who was
a passenger on the British steamer
Hipsang, which was sunk by Rus.
sian torpedo-boat in Pigeon Bay July
l6, and who was among the refugees
who arrived here Thursday, was inter
viewed Friday morning:
According to his version the fighting
before Port Arthur from July 26 to
% inclusive, was directed against
the last of the outer defenses. namely
VOLTS, Green and Christ hills, situated
north and east Of the city.
The Japanese captured VOLTS and
Green hills, but failed to take Christ
Hill. which was the only outpost held
by the Russians when Mr.. Serebriniil
left Port Arthur.
A Port Arthur newspaper estimated
the Russians losses at 200 killed and
500 wounded, the Japanese loss at
1900 killed and wounded.
It is also estimated that the Jap
anese fired $4,000 rounds of shrapnel.
The ground was covered with broken
shells. The Japanese attacking force
was estimated at 1000 men. On the
night of July 30 a truce was declared
for the purpose of burylng the dead,
which strewed the hills.
The Russian feet emerged from the
hsrbor July 26 and engaged Admiral
Togo. who withdrew to safety beyond
his mines. A Japanese gunboat struck
a mine and was damaged, but not

Packing Company. He had delivered
two loads of meat when he was ar
rested. All three Of the men arrest
ed declared that they were wholly in
nocent of any violation of the in
junction.
The affdavits on which the citations
were issued were locked up in the
office OF Circuit Clerk Thomas May
Friday night, and were not presented
at the arrangement of the trio. The
affidavits, according to Judge Schaefer,
attorney for the packers, assert that
the men are guilty of several viola
tions of the terms of the injunction.
The leaders of the strike in st.
Louis Friday gave orders to all their
men not to interfere in any case with
the drivers of the city in their deliv.
cry of meat to the city institutions.
This was done after a representative
of the city had visited the strikers at
their headquarters at 1910 Franklin
avenue, and had requested that they
be allowed to make their deliveries so
long as the strike hindered the pack
ers from making deliveries promptly.
The packers did about the same
amount of work Friday as on pre-
vlous days since the strike of the
drivers. A few men were employed
and a representative of the st. Louis
Dressed Beef and Provision Company
said Friday night that the company
now has about all the men they need.
The same representative asserted that
the company was killing more than
80 per cent of the average number
of animals that are killed under ordin-
airy circumstances.
At Union Market prices were report
ed about the same as at the begin
ming of the week. Retail dealers in
some cases reported slight advances
and a few restaurants, which advanced
prices at the beginning of the strike,
still adhere to the higher rate.

was on fire and before the true
condition could be learned the fire
department and most of the people
in town were rushing pell NELL

that the fire was half a mile out in

leave an immense body of good ore
blocked out.
The company is Incorporated for
$3.50. 600 but the stock has never
been put on the market, the own

the work done at their own ex-
pense. Mr.. Lane is greatly
pleased with the condition of the
property and is confident it will
make great mine. A mill will
probably be put on this summer.
