Daisy Violet Stewart.

On Saturday, March 4th at 5 :O5 p.
IN. the spirit Of Daisy V. Stewart,
the only daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
William q. Stewart, passed from this
vale of tears. Her illness had been
severe. She was stricken with typhoid
pneumonia on February 23rd and al
though everything that medical skill
could do was done the efforts were un-
availing and after ten days Of intense
suffering the little one passed away. She
was born on March 21, 1896 and lacked
seventeen days of being nine years old
at the time of her death. The funeral,
which occurred Monday afternoon this
week at o clock, was large one and
many were unable to gain admission
to the Baptist Church where it was
held. The services conducted by Rev.
James Coutts, assisted by Revs White
and Gillis were most impressive. The
school children and the Sunday school
class of which she had been a member
attended the funeral and took part in
the services by singing a beautiful
hymn. The interment was made in
Oak Creek cemetery. The sympathy
of the entire community is with
the bereaved father and mother and the
two little brothers, aged and years.
who mourn her loss. The Courant
joins in the expressions of sympathy
and coincidence.

that General Kuropatkin has suffered
another reverse, but whether his de-
feat is rout or whether he is re-
peating his strategy tof Liaoyang and
succeeded in withdrawing his army
and the bulk of his supplies is not
clear.
Dispatches from General Kuroki's
headquarters say that during the night
the Russians evacuated the whole line
along the Shakne river and are in full
retreat northward with the Japanese
in close pursuit. Admitting the cor
rectness of this dispatch the fall of
Mukden seems imminent and it's prob
ability is in a measure confirmed by
the report that the Japanese have
taken Machuntan, village some ten
miles southeast of Mukden.

the woman to accompany him to the
coast. He went to the Japanese theater
that night and saw his wife talking
with another Japanese man. The hus-
band resented this display Of friendship
and a dispute occurred at the theater.
The woman accompanied her daughter,
who was employed at the residence Of
Alfred Carter, and passed the night at
that place.
Subsequently Kato learned Of his wife
being employed at the Cooley place and
last night he went to that place and
attacked her. He had a new AK and a
knife. He had evidently purchased the
weapons for the purpose of numbering
the woman II she refused TO accom-
pany him. She evidently refused to ac-
company him for about midnight he at
tackled her with the ak, striking her in
the face, breaking her jaw. He also cut
her in the back, shoulder and side of
the face. The woman must have lain
unconscious until this morning shortly
before o'clock when she was discov-
cred and the police notified.
Suspicion was naturally directed to-
ward Kato but no trace Of him was
found until later in the morning. The
driver Of an army team going from the
military hospital, happened to glance in
the yard at the Hoffman place and
there saw the body OF a man hanging
from a mango tree. The japanese was
dead and was Kato. Evidently after
attacking his wife and leaving her as
he supposed for dead, Kato went out of
the house and climbing the mango tree,
hanged himself with a piece of small
rope. He was well dressed. Blood
stains were found on the lower part Of
his trousers and legs. Underneath the
tree was the ak with which he had evil
IDENTIFY struck the woman. This ak was
covered with blood stains. There was
bottle containing what was evidently
whlskey He had probably swallowed
drink from the bottle IN order 10
nerve himself to commit suicide. A
coroner's inquest will be held tomorrow
night at 1880 o'clock.
owing TO her condition the woman
could not make a detailed statement 10

had attacked her. Her condition Is Sc
