Papers and packages were also Sc
cured as evidence. A number of en-
ployes were arrested.
Postoffice Inspector Monroe said: "I
can only say in general that 1t is on
orders from Washington that 1 am
working. and that the information got
by the department was from inspectors
in San Antonio, I'm Colorado and In Lou
sana, where these tickets are brought
In from Honduras and from Mexico.
Raids have already been made at Los
Angeles and other points"
All the complaints so far have
charged the arrested parties with vio-
lating the interstate commerce law,

with two years Imprisonment to send
lottery tickets from one state to an
other. either by mail or express.

Saigon, April 24.-The Russian squad
ron, consisting of fifty-two ships, in
cluding transports, left Kamranh Bay
at noon April 20 and the main portion
soon disappeared in a northerly direc-
ton. Sixteen vessels-the Russian

ship Orel, four German transports.
seven Danish transports and three
Russian ransports-remained in the
offing.
Fishermen and others assert that
they heard cannonading off Kamranh
Bay during the evening of April %.
Those who saw Admiral Rojestven-
sky prior to his departure say he is
suffering from dysentery, accompanied
by severe pains. All the officers and
crews of the Russian ships appeared

that it is Admiral Rojestvenskys in
tention to do everything possible to
have Admiral Nebogatoff join him be-
fore undertaking a decisive battle.
A torpedo boat destroyer is patrolng
the coast. The French third class
cruiser Descartes left here at 2 o'clock
Saturday afternoon for point on the
coast, where a fisherman reports that
he saw twenty warships. The man,
however, was unable to give their ma
tionality.
Although the Russian crews were
confident of victory independent OBJ
servers who got near enough to Ad-
miral Rojestyensky's warships to be
able to inspect them were not unanim-
Gus regarding the efficiency of the
squadron.
The point to which the cruiser Des-
cartes went is Nratrang, small town
fifty miles north of Kamranh bay on
Nhatrang bay. The latter is smaller
than Kamranh bay, quadrangular in
shape and extends about ten miles in
land at uniform width of about four
miles.

POISON ON SHEEP RANGE.
Reports of Losses in the Izee District
Through Malicious intent.

Reports of Losses in the Izee District
Through Malicious intent.
Reports are reaching Mitchell from
the sheep district tributary to lee,
in southwestern Grant county, and
about 65 miles southeast of there that
a good many sheep are being poisoned
presumably as result Of bad feeling
over range distribution. A few think
that poisonous weeds or some mineral
substance, both of which occasionally
carry off sheep in Grant and other
counties, may be responsible, but the
prevailing opinion seems to be that the
poisoning is due to human agency.
News was brought to Mitchell by a
herder from the Izee district on his
way out of Fossil on some business.
So far it is said about 100 animals
belonging to men named Keerins have
died. The Keerins are ranging on
their own land or on land they have
used for years. Other sheep men have
also reported losses. Considerable i'll
feeling among individuals exists in
that section. There are great many
small cattlemen in the Izee district,
which is one of the most remote in
interior Oregon, and is about 20 miles
east of Paulina, Crook county, where
the Smith sheep were shot last spring
