MONTANA NOTES.

Montana's wool clip for this season
will aggregate slightly more than A..
100000 pounds, and of this amount
more than 25.000.000 pounds have
been contracted for on the sleeps
backs at prices averaging about 81
cents pound. 1t is estimated that
there are 100000 sheep in Montana
and the average clip will be about six
pounds. Thus Montana sheepmen will
realize close to 100000 for wool
alone, and as the price for mutton is
above the usual figure, the year will
be one of the most prosperous in the
history of the state so far as sheep
men are concerned.

DEADLY WORK OF CRAZY NEGRO
Held Back a Whole Town-FinallY He
Killed Deputy Sheriff.


Greensboro, KY, May "a. - Bob
Shaw, negro. supposedly insane, has
killed one man and wounded seven
men in the past "a hours near Wait
men. The body of the dead man lies
in front of Shaw's house and the negro
continues to defy the officers who are
seeking to arrest him.
William Q. Brown, deputy sheriff
is dead.
In the afternoon Shaw was terroriz-
ing the community around Waitmen
and an appeal was sent to this city for
help, and posse was at once formed,
but as soon they approached the mad
mans house, he opened fire. Marshal
Watson was shot in the face and De-
putty Marshal Jackson in the back.
Others wounded were DIR. Q. H. Pitt
on the hand; boy named Howard
and boy named Pelly, in the legs.
In the morning a posse headed by
the Sheriff went to the scene and found
Shaw sitting on the porch of his house,
but the negro opened fire, wounding
James Ford and John Robinson. He
apparently only shot small shot which
saved the lives of those he aimed at.
Shaw was shot at twice. He had two
cvolvrrs. but announced that he would
save them for work at close range.
A great crowd gathered around the
ouse, keeping a safe distance away.
In the afternoon Will Brown, a deputy
sheriff, of Hancock county, volunteer
ed to go to the house and take Shaw.
When within 8 feet of Shaw the crazy
man fired, blowing Browns head COM
pletely off.
AT O'Clock in the evening a mob of
men and boys surrounded Shaw
house and set it on fire. Shaw remain
ed in the house and burning as long as
he could stand the heat and finally
leaped out and tried to escaped. Near
ly 100 shots were fired, and Shaw's
body was riddled with bullets.

A Big Land BATTLE
GENERAL LINEYITCH REPORTS AN
ENGAGEMENT IS ON.
Their Position Strongly Entrenched-
They Have Been Able to Keep Back
the Japs-FieId Marshal Oyama
Bringing Heavy Artilery-A Gen.
eraI Assault Expected.

st. Petersburg, May 23.-Advices
have been received by the general
staff from General Linevitch stating
that general engagement is in pro.
gress all along the line of the Rus
sian left flank and that two divisions
are engaged with the Japanese.
The Russian position is a strongly
entrenched one and up to the present
they have been able to hold their
own and beat back the repeated as
saults of the Japanese.
Up to nightfall Sunday the Russian
casualties were estimated at 500 and
those of the Japanese at about thrice
that number. The Japanese, accord
ing to the report, are moving against
the entire Russian line, although up to
the present the fighting has been con-
fined to the left. AS Oyama has mov-
ed quantities of heavy artillery into
position, it is expected the general as
sault will not be much longer delayed.
cannonading at Sea.
Hongkong, May 21.-The steamer
Arabia, which arrived here Sunday
night, reports having heard heavy can
nonading off Pedro Blanco rocks, so
miles to the eastward of Hongkong.
Whether it was occasioned by war
ships at target practice or was an
encounter between Russian and jap
anese vessels is not known. 1t is rum
ored in official circles that the Rus
sian Baltic fleet, comprising 40 arm
ored vessels, has successfully navi-
gated the Bashic channel. This report
is also unconfrmed. If true it is most
important, as it indicates that the
Russians have sl1illfully eluded Togo
and are in the Pacific ocean.
The Bashic channel, lying as it does,
directly south of Formosa and sup
posed to be guarded by the Japanese
fleet, offered Rojestvensky an open
route to the Pacific ocean, where he
would be safe from attack by the
Japanese torpedo craft. This latter re-
port has created a sensation, and. if
true, will rebound immensely to the
credit of Rojestvensky.

Outcome of a Strike.

The strike started a week ago on
the Waikiki plantation on the other
side of Maui from Lahaina. The Jap
anese made long list of demands,
among them being the discharge of
the head overseer. All the demands
were rejected On Friday the strike
spread to the Pioneer plantation. The
plantation Immediately began paying
off the striking Japanese, who then
commenced to stone the mill and re-
sisted all efforts of the mounted police
to drive them away. The Maui militia,
which was called out, restored order
temporarily.
Clash With Authorities.
Everything was peaceful late Satur-
day when the island steamer Kinau
left, but soon after the steamers de-
parture a clash between the Japanese
and the plantation police occurred, in
which shooting took place, and re-
suited in a general outbreak and the
Imprisonment of the whites and the
militia in the courthouse by the Jap
anese.
Wireless messages were sent to
Honolulu asking for aid. A tug was
also sent through fear that the wire
less telegraph was not working. The
secretary of the Japanese consul &C
companied the force on the steamer
Kinau. He will try to pacify the strik-
ing laborers.
The entire remaining police force of
Honolulu is on duty at the police
station tonight under Deputy Sheriff
Rawlings. although there are no signs
OF trouble on this island.
Peaceful Settlement Expected.
A wireless telegram from Lahania
at 8 o'clock tonight said that the situa-
ton was improved. Monday the Jap

agreed to resume work next Wednes-
day. A peaceful settlement of the trou-

Intimation That Japan Will
Make Demand For
Indemnity.
LOOKS LIKE PEACE.
End of Hostilities Expected
to Come With Conclusion
of Conference.

New York, July 25.-That Japan
will demand an indemnity of Russia
in the negotiations for peace and
that the war will be declared at an
end at the conclusion of the negoti-
ations at Portsmouth, N. H., next
month, is the belief of Baron Ko-
mura, head of the japanese peace
delegation, who arrived here to-day,
as voiced by Amor Sato, who is the
official spokesman for the Baron on
this mission. Mr.. Sato, in an inter-
veiw, said:
Il am confident that peace will be
successfully negotiated by the APP
pointed delegations. The Japanese
will be guided by moderation, and
no excessive demands will be made,
but the sentiment in Japan and Rus
STA is for peace, and in the interests

The cost to Japan, however, has
been very great. On both sides the
loss has been $4,000 men, Russia
losing $40, 900 of these. The war is

Japan will make the demands for

text, were formulated by the En-

Mr. Sato was asked if, in the flush |
of victory, the Japanese people
would not feel entitled to more than
any treaty would allow. Mr.. Sato
said:
1.-THE japanese are not so gentle !

make, but they pay great respect to
the offices of President Roosevelt, |
and his acts have done a great deal |
to emphasize the need for peace"
