CORONERS INQUEST
Held Over the Body of Young Henkle
Who Was Shot and Killed Last
Thursday Might

Last week we gave a-brief account of
the shooting of young man named Eb
Henkle, which occurred Thursday night
near the PresbyteriA church.
On Friday jury Of inquest was en-
paneled with H. 6. Peery acting as coron.
er. The jury consisted Of A. Sc. Clair,
Will Ed. Peery, Frank kits, A. q. Kiser,
@. T. Peery and j. w. Moss. In the fore
noon they held session at the Office Of
DIR. G. w. Greever and in the afternoon at
the court house. Several witnesses were
examined, but nothing was brought out
upon which the inquisition could find a
verdict. 1t adjourned until Monday after
noon at o'clock, at which time it resum-
ed work at the court house. Several wit
nesses who lived in the neighborhood of
Five Oaks were introduced, and after hear
ing their statements the inquest gave a
verdi,t which set forth that Eo. Hepke
had come to bis death by a bullet fred
from pistol by Cal Caudill. Only few
meager facts surrounding the unfortunate
transaction were brought out by these wit
nesses. 7. q. Bowen, Commonwealth's
Attorney, was present at the sittings Of the
inquisition and conducted the examination.

San Francisco, Sept. 12.-Forest fires
are now raging in many of the principal
timber sections of the northern districts
of California and in the immediate vicin-
ity of this city. In the Santa Cruz noun
tains the situation is serious in the ex-
treme, and it is believed that at the pres
ent state park in the Big Basin which
contains some of the 6nesT red wood tim.
ber in the State is doomed.
Down the mountains to the coast the
flames are now sweeping everything be-
fore them-ranches aud property of all
kinds, and it is only hoped that the con-
fagration may not extend to the city of
Santa Cruz. The fire in Marin county is
now checked, it is believed, after devas-
tating an area of Ia, 900 acres.
From Tehama, Butte and other points
up north come reports of loss by flames
which have swept the mountains. So far
no human life has been reported lost but
1t is feared that in many instances it must
have been impossible for people to escape.

ST.. Petersburg, Sept. l3.-With the lull
In military operations and an almost
entire suspension Of despat ches from the
front, St. Petersburg has again fallen back
upon rumors. Countless stories are sfoat
regarding the Russian defeat at Lao Yang
some of which are absolutely absurd while
others have apparently enough basis in
fact to give them color of possibility.
While none of these stories can be con-
firmed, it would not surprise the best in
formed if some of them should turn out to
be true. OF first importance is the revival
of the rumor of Viceroy Alexieff's resig-
nation, based probably upon differences
said to exist between him and General
Kuropatkin and others in authority in the
far east. OF next importance is the rumor
that General Kuropatkin is to be super
seded by Lieutenant General Linevitch
being named as the most probable sue
cessor, This is supposed 10 rest upon the
empt ror's displeasure With Kuropatkin's
generalship at Lao Yang and general
dissatisfaction with the course OF events
at the front. Neither Alexief's nor
Kuropatkin's friends, however, seem to
attach great importance to the stories in
diving them.

WIND-UP OF MEAT STRIKE.
Teamsters' Union Votes to 90 Back to
Work and Trouble Ends.

Chicago, Sept. Ito morrow morning
the packing house tesmsters will return to
work in the stock yards and the delivery
of fresh meats to the local markets, which
has been suspended for eight weeks, will
be resumed.
At a meeting of the Packing house
Teamsters' Union today the drivers &C.
cepted the proposition Iofered them by
the packers to take as many at once as
there was work for and to reinstate the
others as fast as new teams were procured.
The action of the teamsters winds up the
packing house trouble, making the strike
a closed incident.
The leaders OF the butcher workmen
are taking the New York situation
philosophicalIy. The New York butchers
have seeded from the Amalgamsted Meat
Cutters and Butcher Workmen and have
formed independent unions of their own.
Vice President Schmidt will be sent east
in short time to try to bring the New
York men back into the fold.

lately after hostilities between Russia and
Japan commenced, and besides containing
the Presidents proclamation and the
provisions of the statutes relating to
neutrality, gave instructions to collectors
that "should any case arise requiring
official action. you viii communicate the
facts to the Department by telegraph"
The collectors telegram came after
Office hours, aud the officials were some.
what puzzled that there should have been
so much de ay in sending it. There was
a good deal of reticence en- the subject on
the part of tie officials of the Department
of Commence and Labor and of the Bureau
OF Navigation, who preferred to await the
report of the steamboat inspector before
making any statement. This report, it is
expected, will be received some time
during the night, so that the Lena will
have been in port over twenty-four hours
before the question Of her right to tie up
for repairs is determined.
Collector of the Port Stratton has not
received any definite instructions from
Washington, but has wired full state :
ment Of the situation and an answer is
soon expected.
In the meantime the collector, in view
Of the fac. that the repairs are said to be
imperative, has refused to order the Lena
from the barbor within twenty-four hours
without full investigation.
The Lena is anchored between the four
army transports lying in Mission Bay, and
the new battleship Ohio. In fact she is
only about five hundred yards from the
big gun of the battleship, which was ac-
cspted by the government on Saturday.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

The st. Louis Republic says: President
Roosevelt is running against the constitu-
tion." Yes, he is running against the con-
stitution as construed by the Democratt
and with it as it is construed by the Re
pubicsns. Which construction has done
more to preserve our republican form Of
government and advance the Interests Of
the masses of the people?
The elections in Vermont and Maine
have not been very encouraging TO the
friends of Judge Parker. The staunch
Democratic papers are silent about the
results in these two New England States,
but the independent papers that are sup
porting Judge Parker do not hesitate to
say that the news from Vermont and
Maine is very dlscouraging to the Demo-
Gratis.
The Richmond News Leader says: "The
man who rejects the stimulus 20 self-eleva-
ton in the scale of citizenship contained
in the constitution doesn't deserve to have
a vote" Tie News Leader means the
men who have lost their votes by failing
to pay their poll tax in Tina. How about
the men who lied to the people about thet
scale Of citizenship they have placed in
the constitution? Are traitors and falsi6ers
more deserving than the men who have
been deceived and betrayed.
The Roanoke Times has come to the
conclusion that the Democrats cannot win
the Ninth District with brilliant oratory.
Why, we thought our Roanoke contem-
porsry bad great confidence in the success
of its brilliant friend and candidate, the
Hon. Joseph G. Wysor. Now it Gays that
the only way to win in the Ninth District
is by organization. We hardly see how
organization can avail anything for the
Democratic party which is In the minority
by about three thousand votes, perhaps
more.

CzAR'S ORDERS CHANGE KUROPAT.
KlN'S PLANS.
Russian Commander Instructed to Retake
LIao Yang, no Matter What the Cost.

London, Sept. l2.-Reports received
today indicate that the plans of General
Kuropatkn have been completely changed
by orders of the czar.
According to these reports, General
Kuropatkn has been ordered to concen-
trate bis entire strength and move back
to Mukden from points north Of that
town, and to retake Lao Yang at what:
eyer cost.
General Kuropatkin has returned to
Mukden after an inspection of the fortif-
cations at Tie pass. which are not well
under way, but which are being rushed.
At the same time dangerous and costly
efforts to delay the Japanese advance are
being made.
The whole line of Russian retreat, when
within FIVE miles southeast of Mukden
was attacked by japanese marksmen COR
cealed amid millet. The Russians fed
after heavy loss.
Chinese bandits are swarming In the
district and have stopped trafc between
Singmintin and Mukden, and have been
shooting andItorturing to death Russian
patrols.

Mukden, Sept. l2.-Last night the rain
fell in torrents, and the roads are almost
impossible. Military movements are at a
standstill, and the town is so crowded that
foodstuf is almost unobtainable.
The suffers lest almost all Of their sup
plies during the Russian retreat. Civil
ians are beseiging the railway station, but
it is we'll nigh impossible to get food.
The Russians are continuing their re-
tirement to Tie Pass. The Japanese ad-
vance is slow, but it is thought the mill
tary situation ia not unfavorable to them.
The Russian companies now consist of only
thirty men, but notwithstanding Russian
reverses, the retreating troops are cheerful.

INTEREST TURNS
TO PORT ARTHUR
Lull in Fighting in Upper MaHchurla
Disaster Locked for at Port
Arthur.
NOT BELIEVED SIEGE CAN HOLD OUT.
Feared Defeat of Russians at LiaO Yang
will Have bad Effect on the Garrison
-RumOrS Of Changes-War Scraps

The sanguinary side of the Russo-Japa-
nese conflict is not now in evidence, and
with the practical suspension of news from
the front the interest for the time being
centers in rumors-that Viceroy Alexleff
has resigned, as reported Sunday; that
General Kuropatkin is to be replaced by
Lieutesant General Linevitch, now in
command of the forces at Vladiyostok
and other statements which cannot be
traced to authentic sources, but all OF
which, if true, would have a most impor-
tant bearing on the situation.
One Russian correspondent points out
that when the japanese withdrew from
the Russian front it is usually. the pre-
cursor of their appearance on the hanks
and he thinks the indications point to
winter campaign. Interest again turns
to Port Arthur and to the effect which the
Russian defeat at Lao Yang is likely to
have on the garrison there, and the fear
is expressed that the siege will soon end
in disaster for Russian arms.

KURoKI's S ADVANCE.
1t Is rumored that the Russians after
Mondays fight carried 10000 wounded
north of Mukden. 1t appears that they
ingeniously removed majority Of their
dead, but left over 5000 in the vicinity of
Lao Yang. The retreating Russians saw
ed their guns.
On last Sunday night at 10 O'Clock Gen.

miles south of Mukden. The main body
of the Russians retired to Mukden, burn

der the command of General Oku, 1851
men. These casualties include 1876 officers
killed and 464 officers wounded. The fact
that the army under General Oku sustain

affair would be regarded by the
public, when the particulars leaked
out, and that the proper way to
smooth the whole affair would be to
have the horse doctor appear in
court the following morning and
make the semblance of "bluf" at
having the police officer arrested.
The theory advanced is not bad
one, but in case it is correct the
crime becomes all the more serious
and the mayor and council-individ-
ually, and in a body-must take
official notice of the whole affair,
call in witnesses and make a most
searching inquiry into the acts OF
the official. The courts must GER
tainly look after the assailant. For
no one citizen has more rights than
another, and if this dastardlyl crime
is to go UNPUBLISHED when may not

zance of the crime. Prompt action
may prevent the county from being
