The sighting of Admiral Rojestver-
sky's fleet off the TsU islands would
seem to indicate that the Russian com
maHder has determined TO take the
bOIdest course. and instead Of skirting
Japan and entering the Sea of Japan
by the TSugaru or LapeTOuse straits.
10 push through the Straits Of Korea
and try TO reach NIadivOStok. which is
about $40 miles from the Tsu islands.
That he VIII be able TO do without at
least being haTaSS5u by the japanese
seems impTOba BILE. and the report civ
Culated at Toxic today that the two
fleets have engaged in the Straits of
Korea may turn out correct There is
the possibility. of course. that ROjest-
vensky may have so far deceived Ad-
miral Togo that the latter Is still at the
base he established north of FOTmOsa.
and in that case an enga cement may
not take place before the Russians
reach NladivOstok tt Is also possible
that the Russian vessels sighted in the
Straits Of Korea only form portion of
the Russian fleet.

An Afflicted Family.

A little over a week ago there came
to Deming from the Creek Nation a
family consisting of father, mother anu
four children. They found house east
Of Mr.. Killinger's store on or near
Spruce street, moved in, and in less
than twenty-foar hours a baby was
born. At the same time the mother
was sick with pneumonia. DR.. Steed
has been attending the mother and baby
the latter is at this writing Thursday
not expected to live. Mrs. McDaniels
and her sister, Mrs. Collum have been
daily and almost constant visitors at
the home of the FIRMLY and have rem
dered them all the assistance in their
power. They have now employed Mrs.
Clark as nurse, and she is with them
at present.
But they are strangers in a strange
land, and while not in need Of financial
assistance would appreciate friendly
calls and tender sympathies of the good
people Of Deming; those kind minis
trations that are so much needed and
gratefully priced in times OF sickness
and suffering.

To few and only few, Mr.. S. S.
Birchfeld expressed a desire to be rid Of
the Office of county commissioner, a
position he has filed long and we'll.
But living so far away from the county

the responsibilities attached TO the Office.
he decided 10 resign.
Mr.. B. Y. McKeyes was appointed by
the governor to ill out Mr.. Birchfeld's
unexpired term. His former position
Of county clerk makes him perfectly
familiar with the duties Of the Office ia
which he has been appointed, and the
county business will not suffer as a
result Of the change.
Mr.. Birchfeld's retirement from Of
flee was purely voluntary, and with the
consciousness Of having always dis
charged his official duties to the best Of
his ability.
