MIRACULOUS ESCAPES ON
MANCHURIAN BATTLEFIELDS

The Russians were so much aston
ished by hearing the familiar word,
that they dropped their bayonets. and
took him prisoner instead of butcher
ing him.
An act of dishonesty was the cause
of Sapper Rozanoff's narrow escape.
On the morning of the battle round
'Kuropatkin's Eye fiat, half-pound
tins of tobacco were given to each
non-commissioned officer for distribu-
tion among the men. But before it
was portioned out, one tin disap-
peared. All the soldiers denied having
taken it.
When night closed the fighting. n
sapper, named RoZanoff, handed the
tin to the sergeant. In the top was a
to go through the tobacco, but not
through the bottom. Rozanoff's tunic
had a similar slit. just above the abb
domen. He admitted having stolen
the tobacco. He had hidden it next
his shirt In the hand-to-hand fighting
a Japanese soldier had driven at him
fiercely with the bayonet.
The steel had gone clean through
the lid and tobacco, but the force en-
ployed was not sufficient to send it
through the bottom. Rozanoff's con-
science was struck by his miraculous
escape, and he had decided to confess
the theft and make restitution.

an electric bell. The transmitters are
no bigger than paper weights. When
Mr.. Hammer wants the maid he sends
a wireless current through the walls

are caught by the pole in the kitchen
and the bell rings. A system of sig

Husband Takes wife's Name.

Permission to take his wife's maid
en- name as part of his own has been
granted to Rev George Franklin Hop
kins in the equity court, Washington.
The reason given is that his wife, who
was well known in various fields OF
work before her marriage, desires
TO continue the use of her maiden
name. She was DR.. Salient Arm
strong. who achieved more or less
celebrity in the missionary field and
wrote a number of books. After her
marriage to DR.. Hopkins she found
her work hampered by the necessity
of appearing under new name. Ac-
cordingly, she and her husband ap-
nlied to the court for permission to

BUFFALO BILL LOSES
COURT DENIES HIM A DIVORCE
Decision is Complete Victory for
Mrs. cody-Judse Says Cruelty
Was All on the Part of the Colonel.


Sheridan. Wyo., March 24.-Col. w.
f. Cody failed to secure divorce from
Mrs. Louisa f. Cody in the District
Court yesterday. Judge II. II. Scott of
Cheyenne deciding against the noted
frontiersman on each cause of action.
The court varied from the usual Gus
tom of not giving an opinion in a
divorce case and reviewed the evil
dence at some length. This review is
a vindication of the defendant in every
respect.
1t was not supposed that the deci-
sion would be announced yesterday.
but counsel in the case agreed to dis
pense with arguments, and after the
last deposition was read a short recess
was taken. Then Judge Scott an
nounced his decision.
After outlining the divorce laws of
Wyoming and stating that they do not
make incompatibility ground for d.
vorce, Judge Scott asked the attorneys
for the defendant to strike out sec
tions of the answer containing charges
against Miss Bessie Isbell and allega-
tions regarding the plaintiffs conduct
at Chicago on one occasion and his
alleged excesse5 at Fort MCPHERSON
Kansas, on another.
Passing to consideration of the
poisoning charge made by Colonel
Cody. Judge Scott said that there was
no evidence to support 1t and that q
charge so serious ought not to have
been made without being well sup
ported. He said that it was clear that
Mrs. Cody simply tried to relieve the
plaintiff from the effects of intoxica-
tion and make him presentable at
banquet at which he was soon to be
guest. and that his sickness later was
due to his own excesses.
Judge Scott held that there was
nothing to show that Mrs. Cody ever
mistreated the plaintiff or his guests
at the Cody home; that she never re
fused to sign papers with him to ham
per him in business way; that her
conduct at the funeral of their
daughter. Arta, was not inhuman, and
that she was ready at all times to be
reconciled and would have welcomed
q reconciliation. The court charac-
terized her conduct as that OF de-
voted wife and mother.
While admitting that several
charges made against Colonel Cody
had not been submitted. Judge Scott
said the plaintiff had been cruel to the
defendant and had heaped indignities
upon her.
Attorneys for the plaintiff excepted
and gave notice of motion for re-
hearing. II this is denied, they say
the case will be taken to the Supreme
Court.

MRS. cHApWIcK's STORY.
Paid Some Enormous Commissions to
Money Lenders.


Cleveland. Ohio, March 25.-In bank
ruptcy court yesterday Mrs. Cassie L.
Chadwick detailed some of her finan-
cial transactions during an examina-
tion by Attorney Grossman, acting for
Trustee Loeser.
Mrs. Chadwick said that she was not
able to give as many details of these
transactions as she would like, because
of the absence of papers which were
held In a number of cities. She has
sent for the papers and expected to
have them when the hearing would be
continued next Thursday.
She testified that her total Indebted
ness would not exceed $750,000. OF this
sum, borrowed from various persons.
she had received only $5l7 900. leaving
s2GS.000 for commissions to money
lenders.
She said she owed certain banks In
Cleveland 5000, 900. The names of three
of these institutions she was willing
to give privately.
The examination disclosed additional.
assets of 100000. OF this amount $685.
900 is due from Charles II. Stewart of
Cleveland and $l50.O00 is jewelry held
by Wolfers Bros. of Brussels, Belgium.
Mrs. Chadwick asserted that there
were other assets. consisting of jew
elry and valuable articles held by
other persons for her.
Mr.. Grossman opened by saying he
believed that Mrs. Chadwick owed $2.-
100000 and had 100000 in discovered
assets. He asked Mrs. Chadwick to
assist the trustee for the creditors in
finding all her property.
She denied that her Indebtedness
would amount TO s2.000.O00. or any
sum near IT.. She said the $3.50. 900
which she admits she owes would in.
clude the bonuses paid for loans.

SIBERIA THREATENED
RUSSIAN TERRITORY IN DANGER
Lineviteh May Be Driven Beyond Har-
bin.-Japanese May Cut Railroad
and Isolate Vladjvostok.

and Isolate Vladivostok.
st. Petersburg. March 24.-The pos
sibility that if the Russian army should
be unable to hold the lower line of the
Sungari river at Chunchiatsu it may
be compelled to retreat not only to
Harbin but also further westward
al>sg the railroad, abandoning to the
Japanese northern Manchuria and the
Russian maritime Amur provinces as
WELL is the latest startling news from
the front.
The strategic weakness of General
Linevitch's position as he falls back
northward is made clear by Gunshu
dispatch to the Associated Press, in
which 1t Is pointed out that unless
Chunchiatsu and the Sungari lines,
scant 100 miles below Harbin, can be
held, it will be difficult to maintain
position farther back before Harbin.
where, with the front of the army par
alleling the railroad, the practicability
of turning movement to completely
sever communications and isolate the
army 6,OO0 miles from home, is too Sc
rious for Russian consideration.
The correspondent estimates the
number of reinforcements needed to
give General Linevitch the requisite SUI
periority in force at 2OO.OOO
That such dispatch should have
been permitted to pass the censor at
the front is significant and if General
Linevitch has communicated a similar
estimate of the situation direct to EN-
peror Nicholas it may account for his
majesty's increased disposition to lis
ten to peace counsels and open nego-
tiations before the Japanese establish
themselves on Russian soil.
With Manchuria entirely abandoned
to the Japanese. and Vladivostok left
as Russias solitary sentinel on the Pa
cific. it is realized that Russia will be
practically at Japan's mercy in the
matter of peace terms.
1t can now be definitely stated that
the decision not to appoint Grand Duke
Nicholas Nikalaievitch to the supreme
command in the Far East was rem
dered because the outlook at the front
does not warrant the risk of compro-
missing the prestige of member of
the imperial family.
Russian reinforcements are arriving
at Harbin at the rate of ] 200 men per
day. Nevertheless. it is significant that
there is now a well marked peace
party at the winter palace.

A. H. Zachau Remains
In The Hills All
Night
Same Party Had Similar
Experience Last
Summer

Arthur II. Zachau, claim clerk for
the S. F. P. and P. railroad, went
with party from here Sunday to hunt
quail, in the vicinity of Mayer. After
the party had fairly well flied their
bags and started for Mayer to catch
the train home, they counted noses,
and found that one of their party was
shy. Further investigation showed
that Mr.. Zaehau was the missing hunt
er. Thinking that he had merely
missed the train, his comrades left for
Prescott without him.
4 phone message at the auditor S
Office at the depot was received shortly
after the office opened this morning,
and it was learned that the tardy hunt
er was safe and sound at Mayer, hav-
ng lost his way and travelling all night,
and reaching Mayer at 10 O'Clock yes
terday morning.
Mr. Zaehau arrived on the Big Bug
train last evening, having walked
from Mayer TO Huron.
This incident recalls one of SINH
lar nature that occurred with the same
party last summer. It seems that the
man that the joke is on does not limit
his game to quail alone, but occasionally
goes rabbit hunting. This was the
case last summer, when he wounded one
of the long-eared Dummies, and gave
chase to it hoping that he might catch
the same. He chased so long and so
far .iast ia us cxc;tccaent he bad for
gotten where he had lain his gun.
When he tried to find his way back he
was amid strange surroundings, and was
unable to take the train home until the
next day. His fellow workmen are
laughing up their sleeves, and suggest
to one another that the next time that
they take their friend out among the
rocks and brush, a small string viii be
attached to him, so that he may not
lose his way.
