LAND LOSSES IN THE
 FAR EASTERN WAR
The Japanese, Everywhere The At taeking Force, Have Made a
 Remarkable Showing.

Brigadier General Tasker II. Bliss of the general staff of the United States army has compiled a table of the casualties in the Russian and in the Japanese ar mics since the beginning of the , present war. The operations pre- ceding Lio- Yang were relatively unimportant except the battle of Kahling, in which 0,000 Japanese are reported engaging 25,000 Rus .sians with Il loss of 25 per cent against a Russian loss of S per cent. But in the five great battles commencing with Lio-Yang the forces engaged, the losses, and the per centage of losses on each side are given as follows
 Russians
 Engaged. Losses. PC. Lio-Yang 160, 900 S,640 5.4 Sha River .1S0,000 9,250 164 .Sandapu. 65.0oO 14,95o 23. Port Arthur 45.000 f5, HIS 34B Mukden 400, ,000 loo, ,000 9
 Japanese
 Engaged. Losses. PC. Lio-Yang 10000 1f.033 6.49 zSha River .175,o00 10, ,150 5.S .Sandapu -. 5o,ooO 1000 II. Pt. Arthur 1o6,oo0 45,156 42.6 Mukden ... 500, GOO 6o, ,000 12.
 This table, of course, combines the losses in all ways, and is for only five battles. Reuters, the principal European telegraph agency, classifes the losses in all land engagements since the war begun as follows:
 Russians Japanese Killed ...... S0,000 75,000 Wounded .. 165 900 125, 1000 Captured 50, ,000 10000 The same authority gives the number of men in both nations under arms because of the war as: Russia, S00,000; Japan 100000. By an inspection of the table prepared by General Bliss it will be seen that the proportion of the loss is much heavier for the Rus .sians in each engagement except Liao- Yang, where 1t is slightly less, and Port Arthur, where the excess of loss for the Japanese is large, but not nearly so large as would be expected. The percent age of loss of the Russians in these five battles is trifie under 20 per cent, and for the Japanese less than 14 per cent As the latter everywhere were the attacking force ths=ls- remarkable show ing.

INSULTING
PROPOSAL.
Todd County Negro Charged
With Attempted
Assault.
TRENTON STIRRED UP.
Frank Leavell Arrested Near
Pembroke and Taken
to Elkton.
TRENTON STIRRED UP.

Trenton Is very much aroused over
an insulting proposal made Saturday
night by an unknown man to Miss
Bright Burrus, who lives with her
widowed mother in the outskirts of
Trenton. Soon after supper a rap
was heard on the window of the
room in which Mrs. Burrus and her
daughter were seated. Taking a
pistol in her hand she went to the
window and asked what was wanted.
She was answered with an insulting
proposal. Miss Burrus shot through
the window at the man who took to
bis heels. She then ran to the porch
and fired a second time as he disap-
peared in the darkness. Neighbors
were called in and investigation
showed that the man had a peg-leg.
Suspicion at once pointed to Frank
Leavell, one-legged negro of Tren,
ton, who could not be found.
A vigorous hunt was kept up for
him until Tuesday morning, when he
was captured near Pembroke about
three O'Clock, by a Pembroke posse.
He was brought to this city Tuesday
night and lodged in Jail. Officers
from Todd county arrived yesterday
to take hinf-te Elkton for trial.
Miss Burrus could not recognize
the man in the darkness and the
evidence against Leavell is purely
circumstantial. He protests his in
nocence. Leavell is a copper-colored
negro about 30 years of age, whose
home is in the town of Trenton.
The Burrus family is one of prom
inence and excellent standing in
Todd county and \ it can be estab-
lished that he is the guilty man there
will be serious danger of a lynching.

BITE OF SPIDER.
Causes Death of Mr.. William
JOhnson's Child.

Little William, the $hild of Mr..
and Mrs. William Johnson, East of
the city, died Tuesday morning.
Several days since it was bitten by a
spider and inflammation set in, finally
eliminating in blood poison, which
produced death. Everything pos
sible was done to allay inflammation,
but in vain, and the little fellow
passed away Tuesday morning at 2
O'Clock. He was only Is months
old. His remains were brought to
this city yesterday and entered in
Hopewell. The bereaved parents
have the sympathy of the neighbor-
hood at the unusual manner Of the
taking off of their little one.

MADE THREATS
Because Their Services Were
Dispensed With.


Geo. Diemer, construction fore
man of the Home Telephone Co.,
putting in the Mckenzie exchange,
had trouble with four discharged
negro employees Monday. They left
their work Saturday without per-
mission and spent the day in town.
When they returned that night Mr..
Deimer handed them their time.
Their names were Chas. Downey,
Babe Boyd. Chas. Roscoe and John
Williams.
They took their discharge with
bad grace and Monday went in a
body to Mr.. Diemer's camp, he al
leges, armed and made violent
threats against his life and finally
announced their intention of re-
turning that night to kill him.
Several of Diemer's friends of the
Mckenzie neighborhood volunteered
to protect him and a search for the
belligerents was instituted, but they
could not be found. Diemer came to
town Tuesday night and swore out a
warrant for the arrest of the four
men, who live in this city. Up to
three o'clock yesterday afternoon
they had not been found.
