Ilnevitch, in a dispatch to Emperor
Nicholas dated April 25. says:
"Our advance posts, April %, forced
the enemy successfully to evacuate
the fortified villages of Manchenzou
and Nemanpaomeng. The Japanese
occupied a fortified position about
three miles south of Nemanpaomeng
but our artillery, fire and the appear
ance of our detachment on their left
flank induced them to retreat hastily
toward Kayancheng, after burning
their provision depot. Our troops,
April %, compelled the enemy to re-
tire to Kayancheng. The same day
Russian advance guards, pursuing the
enemy, approached Changtu (about
fifty miles above Tie pass). which is
strongly fortified and occupied by the
Japanese. Our artillery opened fire
on the east side Of the town; but
when it became apparent that the
place was strongly held our troops
retired. Our cavalry destroyed the

SUPREME COURT
Sustains Lower Court in Star j.
Erickson Case and Holds Indict-
ment on Charge of Maintaining
Nuisance was Sufficient.

Th supreme court has held that the
Indictment on which Star J. Erickson,
who conducted drug store at Souris,
was convicted of maintaining a COM
mon nuisance, is sufficient The syl-
labus is as follows: An indictment
otherwise sufficient will be held suf6-
cient when "the act or omission
charged ais the offense is clearly and
distinctly set forth in ordinary and
concise language, without repetition
and in such manner as to enable a
person of common understanding to
know what is intended.
The Indictment in this case charges
the defendant with committing the
common nuisance, and in charging
the. acts constituting the crime alleges
that the defendant 'wilfully and un-
lawfully" kept place describing it
where intoxicating liquors where sold,
bartered and given away without first
requiring the persons receiving the
same to subscribe afidavits, etc. Held {:
First-That the allegation that the
defendant unlawfully kept a place
where intoxicating liquors were sold
necessarily implies that the sales were
unlawful.
Second-That the further allegations
which attempt to express negative
lawful sales may he treated as surplus
age and are not misleading or preju-
dicial and the indictment is sufficient
