PAST WEEK OF THE WAR.
Expected Big Land Battle Failed to
Occur,

Contrary to expectations, the en-
gagement of land forces in Manchuria
did not bring as important results last
week as was expected. 1t was believ-
ed last Sunday that a great battle
was imminent. Field Marshal Oyama,
after a long period Of preparations,
was prepared to renew the aggressive
movement that had been suspended
shortly after the battle at Mukden.
General Linevitch, with old troops
rested and many new troops added to
his fighting force, was prepared for
the attack, and the general expecta-
ton was that a conflict similar to that
at Liaoyang and Mukden was at hand.
The developments of the week did
not sustain the predictions. There was
fighting, but no important results
have followed, so far as the outside
world is able to Judge. 1t was re-
ported that Oyama had advanced from
right, left and center, but which
movement was feint and which was
merely a demonstration could not be
determined. The advance of the Jap
anese was promptly met by the Rus
slams and there were several minor
engagements of a more or less san
culinary character News came that
small detachment of Japanese had
swung around to the Russian rear and
there was a report, afterward denied,
that Vladivostock had been cut off.
Rennenkampf, who had been doing
brilliant cavalry service for the Rus
slams, made an expedition around
Oyama's left, but seems to have been
nothing more than a reconnaissance
that resulted in considerable losses.
Saturday it was announced that a
pause seems to have occurred in the
| land operations, the idea being, seem
ingly, to suspend the aggressive move
ment until the sea fight had taken
! place and there were assurances that
communications between Japan and
the mainland would not be interrupt
ed. Apparently, the japanese were
| yielding at certain points, but there
was evidently an attempt at a turn
ing movement on the Russian left with
view to shielding Kawamura's effort
to advance on the extreme east and
cut toward VladivOstOck. Both sides
are doubtless ready for a titanic strug
gle, but it is not likely to take place
until the mastery of the sea has beer
decided.

ROJESTVENSKY
IS A PRISONER

Washington, May 31.-The official
Japanese report on the latest details of
the great naval battle in the Korean
straits is made in a cablegram received
by the Japanese legation here from the
foreign office at Toxic, conveying Ad-
miral Togo's dispatch The report
says that Admiral Rojestvensky and
another admiral and staff officers were
taken prisoners on the sinking of Ro-
jestvensky's flagship. the Kniaz Souva-
troff, Saturday night south of Urleung
island, off the Korean coast. The total
number of vessels lost to the Russians,
according to Admiral Togo, now
reaches %. He adds that the full par
ticulars are not in his possession, but
he says none of the japanese large YES
sells were seriously injured.
Japanese Admiral Misu was lsightly
wounded. The protected cruiser AL
MAJ, which has already arrived at
Vladivostok, is referred to in the re-
port as suspected to have sunk"

NINTH FURNcE FOR CRANKY.
New Shaft Is Being Constructed at a
Cost of 100000.

Jay P. Graves, manager of the
CRANKY company, announces that a
new shaft, to cost about 100000, will
be constructed at once on the Vic
toria in the CRANKY group of copper
gold mines at Phoenix, B. c. 1t will
be of three compartment size, and will
be eXcavated by raising above the 400
foot level to the surface. 1t will be
equipped with a crusher capable of
handling 1900 tons in 10 hours. Il
will be the principal working shaft,
and through it about one-third of the
mine output will be raised.
That puts the mine in shape to
produce from 1000 to 5000 tons a day
The seventh and eighth furnace at
the smelter, giving it capacity of
200 tons a day, will be running July
l. We may install ninth furnace

BOLD TRAINROBBERY
DARTMOUTH, MONTANA, SCENE
OF ANOTHER HOLDUP.
Express Car Was Wrecked by Explos-
ion-Messenger Struck Robber over
the Head With Iron Bar-No Booty
Taken-Engineer and Express Mes
senaer Get $1,000 Reward.

Missoula, Mont, May 29.-The man
behind the gun at the Bearmouth
holdup of the eastbound Northern Pa
cific passenger No. 2, Saturday night,
is at the point of death from blow
delivered by Express Messenger Laub,
when the robber stopped to pick up
sack of coin from the shattered safe.
The highwayman' partner, or part
ners, took to the hills and after being
traced by bloodnounds from the peni-
Tertiary for several miles, crossed a
creek and the dogs and posse were
baffled.
No money was secured and the
Northern Pacific officials feel so CRATE
full that today word was wired that
checks for $1,000 each had been sent
to Engineer Wilson and Express Mes
senger Laub.
After the one man had ordered the
engineer and fireman to accompany
him to the express car, several shots
were fired to keep the balance of the
train crew inside the cars. The man
behind the gun informed the engineer
and fireman that his partners were do
ing the shooting and they had nothing
to fear SO long as they obeyed orders.
Conductor Sayer attempted to ascer
tain the cause for delay and as he
| leaned out of the vestibule of one Of
the forward coaches, shot rang out
and a bullet whizzed into the wood
work under his arm. The conductor
lost no time in pulling himself back
into the car, realizing that the delay
was a holdup for sure. He quickly
made the end of the coaches, dropped
off, proceeded back to BearmOuth sta
ton, and sent the alarm to Missoula.
In the meantime the man behind the
gun, through Engineer Wilson, ordered
the express messenger to leave the
car, as he intended to blow it up.
Knowing that resistance was useless
the messenger complied. Using one
hand to place four sticks of giant pow
der inside the car, and the other to
cover his prisoners, the man behind
the gun set off the first charge while
his partners kept firing along the cut
off coaches to prevent interference
Four sticks of giant powder failed to
do the work the hlghwaymen desired
and six more were set off under the
same conditions. They also failed and
L. sticks were thrown in and the car
and its contents wrecked.
Under the cover of his gun the rob-
Der forced Engineer Wilson and Elk
press Messenger Laub into the wreck
ed car and supplied Wilson with
matches to light their way. In going
into the car Laub's hand came in con-
tact with a piece of loose iron from
the wreckage and when Wilson struck
one of the matches and the robber
stopped to pull sack of coin from
the shattered safe, Laub brought the
iron down on the highwayman' head
and felled him. Before the fellow could
move a second crack of the iron put
him out of business and the express
company's money was saved.
The partner or partners of the man
behind the gun evidently took to their
heels, as there was no ful Their effort
made to get the money.

Lose Trail of Second Robber.

While the semitragedy was taking
place, officers were on their way from
Missoula and Drummond and blood
hounds from the penitenriary at Deer
Lodge. When the posses reached the
scene the train had proceeded slowly
to Drummond, where the injured man
was placed in charge of physicians and
guards. AS soon as the dogs from the
penitentiary arrived they picked up
scent and started over the hills to the
southwest, following it almost five
miles. There the trail was lost and
the posses called back. No one has
been able to identify the captured
highwayman, who appears to be a
workman, about 35 years of age. He
has not spoken since being struck.
Detectives of the company are work
ing on the case and expect to have
the man identified by tomorrow.
