. LOS ANGELES, IAN. 29.-Henry e.
Huntington has purchased a tract OF
1920 acres of rolling land between Los
Angeles and Pasadena, and with others
who are members of a syndicate which
he has formed, will convert $50 acres of
che property into one of the finest
private golf courses in the West, II not
0in the country. 1t will be distinctly
an organization for the wealthy, and
a millionaire golf club will control the
property
IT is proposed to build $4,000 club
house and nearly twice that much more
will be expended in building roads and
terraces all over the tract. The re-
manning portion of the land will be di-
vided into two and a half and five acre
plats and sold under such prohibitive
building restrictions that only persons
of wealth can afford to purchase them
The idea is to make of the place a
site for winter homes for wealthy East
ern people who spend their winters in
California, although a score or more
of local men of wealth will build there.
Huntington will build an electric line
to Pasadena and TO Los Angeles from
the place. The contracts have already
been let for building the golf course.

Attempt to Turn the

Defeated.
Brown Soldiers RepulSe the
Attacks and Retain
Positions.
Battle Closes With a Terrific Artillery
Duel Waged Across the
Shakhe River.

GENERAL KUR~K KITS HEAD
QUARTERS, Jan. 29.-The Russian
attempt. to turn the Japanese left has
resulted in a complete failure The
Russians chose the worst weather Of
the season, depending perhaps. upon
their familiarity with snowy country
to aid them in their operations Their
artillery attacks on the japanese per-
manent lire were, it is thought, aem-
onstration to prevent the withdrawal of
forces for the purpose Of reinforcing
the Japanese left.
All yesterday afternoon and into the
night an artillery duel was waged
across the Shakhe River. There was
much heavy artillery rifle firing from
positions where the intrenchments are
closest.
1t has been quiet to-day, except on
the left The weather is much milder.
GENERAL OKU'S HEADQUAR-
TIERS. Saturday Night. Jan. 2S.-
The Russian force on General Oku's
extreme left. numbering more than
two divisions. centered at Pekowati
yesterday afternoon. One division att
tackled in tAs'-vicinifJ al shentanpu, q
few miles ear of Pekowati. The Jap
anese advance guard drove it back, In
fiicting serious damage. Rife and ar
tillery fire and general bombardment
along the whole front continued all
day yesterday and was resumed at
daylight this morning.
The bomt -rdment, beginning at
dawn this morning on the extreme left,
rapidly spread along the whole front
of Oku's army. 1t was kept up fiercely
all day and it was the strongest artil-
lery fire since the battle Of the Shakhe
River. Salvos are being fired continu-
ously. There is also considerable mus
kerry firing. The japanese are reply
ing infrequently and are saving their
fire, awaiting an attack. There is a
possibility that the entire line will be
engaged soon.

OKU'S ARMY, Friday, Jan. 27-The
Russians are massing on General Okus

battle. 1t is believed they will attempt
to turn the left and make what is re-

of domestic trouble in Russia. There
has been a constant and very heavy

days. 1t is believed that the Russians

LOSS FROM OMAHA FIRE

Making Them Look Like Huge
Ice Castles.
OMAHA, Jan. 29.-The fire which
started last night in the wholesale
district was the most extensive in the
history of Omaha. The total loss will
exceed half a million dollars. The
flames continued to menace adjoining
buildings until after o'clock this
morning. During all of to-day a num-
Der of streams were kept pouring on
the ruins. With zero temperature
the water was quickly frozen and to-
night the walls Of the burned build
ings resemble huge ice castles.
Half a block was burned out. The
immense buildings contained great
jobbing stocks, which Is responsible
for the enormous loss. The buildings
themselves were valued at about
100000, and were owned respec-
lively by the Mercer and Millard es-
tates.
The principal losses are as follows:
S. d. Mercer, on building, $125,000;
E. P. Kirkendall shoe company, on
stock, $125,O00; M. E. Smith & Co.,
on stock, $150,000.

ing was issued by the cattlemen tell
ing the sheepowners that If their f1ocks
were brought to the valley there would
be trouble.
Saturday a large band of sheep was
driven into the valley by a party of
Basque herders, who had been on the
road with them for several weeks and
who had not received the warning. A
posse of cattlemen was formed and
they rode to where the sheepmen had
their flock and ordered them off. At
first the Basques refused to leave, but
as they were outnumbered three to one
and as the cattlemen were heavily
armed the herders gave in.
They were given six hours in which
to start, the alternative being the
slaughter of as many of their sheep as
the cattlemen could shoot. A final
warning to the Basques was to the eff
feet that If they returned they would
be made the targets of the cattlemen's 8
rifles.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 2s.-The first
overt act in the threatened war be-
tween the cattlemen and sheep owners
in the Antelope Valley, near the ex-
treme. northern end of Los Angeles
County, was committed yesterday, the
cattlemen taking the initiative. Blood
shed was averted only by the retire
mvnt Of the sheepmen. Information of
the clash was received to-day at the
Sheriff's office.
For the first time in years at this
season the copious rains which have
fallen in the valley have started the
grass until the vast area Of unfenced
land now makes ideal grazing places
for cattle and sheep. Recently large
importations of Arizona cattle have
been made to that section and the
sheepmen have been driving their
fiocks toward the valley from lnyo

north. A week ago a general warn

LONDON, Jan, 3O.-The Warsaw
correspondent of the Daily Mail tele-
graphs as follows:
"A group of hussars ran down Brit
ish Vice Consul Muoukain on Saturday
night on Marshalkovski street. Two
hussars rushed at him with their
swords, infiicting severe cuts across his
face and lower lip. Dripping with
blood, Muoukain was conveyed to the
hospital, where he is now doing well.
British Consul General Murray had
a narrow escape from being similarly
run down. 1t appears that the Incl
dents were due to a company of hus-
sars getting drunk and running
amuck.'
The same correspondent describes
Warsaw as being in a state of COM
plete anarchy.
Many have been killed or wounded
in charges by troops and the reckless
ness of swashbuckling hussars,' he
says.
Describing the pillaging of stores,
the correspondent says:
Many mark chalk crosses on their
doors or lighted ikons are placed iIi
their windows and thus their safety is
secured. The rioters paused. before
the sacred emblems. The hoarse MUIR
mur of the mob drowned the church
bells. In several cases soldiers fired
on looting mohs and in one case in
a working class suburb they fired a
cannon shot, hoping to disperse the
crowd.

there all day. Hundreds of shops were

ION January 26 the enemy began
to concentrate in considerable force

vancing upon Sandepas occupied a
great part of that fortified village; but
coming upon a strong redoubt with a
triple row of artificial obstacles which
had been scarcely damaged by our
fire. and which were armed with field
artillery and quick-firers, and seeing
the impossibility of carrying the re-
doubt without preliminary bonn
bardment, our troops left Sandepas,
which had been set on fire, it being
impossible to remain there without
risking defeat.

and its redoubt were heavily bonn

and towns will have license the coming
year. This is the lowest number we
have ever had under the new law and IN
three counties in the state, Caledonia,
Orange and Orleans there are no towns
that voted to have license. There were
slight gains for license in Bennington
Chittenden and Rutland counties, while
in the other counties license either lost
ground or barely held its own. The sur
nr;se of the election was furnished by
Barre where the vote was $40 no to 745
YES. Last year Barre was license by Is
majority. Montpelier went for license
by only 33 majority, while Rutland
swung back into the license column by
39S majority.
