and also of T. B. West, village attor-
ney at Kendrick, and r. C. West, an
attorney practicing here.
This immense inheritance comes
from the estate of Thomas Whitaker,
an English nobleman, who dropped
dead about 40 years ago at the age of
55 years. He was a bachelor, and at
the time of his death had an estate
appraised at $165,000000, composed
mostly of the townsite of New London.
This land was sold by the government
and the receipts placed at interest for
the heirs, in case any should ever
claim it, and the estate is now esti-
mated at $2OO.0O0,0O0.

Vancouver Barracks, Wash. March
17.-Smarting under the sting of his
disgrace and suffering from an incura-
BILE disease, former Lieutenant Francis
M. Boone, who was ordered discharged
from the United States army yesterday
on the charges of desertion, absence
without leave, nonpayment of debts
and conduct unbecoming an officer to-
day made an deliberate suicidal in
tent, it is reported, and before recap
ture was shot and probably fatally in
jured. Boone was being conducted
from the guardhouse to the garrison
hospital, when, without warning he
broke away and started to run. He
was ordered to halt, but paid no atten-
ton to the command, and the guards
opened fire. One bullet out of the five
fired at the prisoner took effect in the
head, above the right ear, and passed
under the scalp to point above the
right eye.

1t is now definitely stated that EN-
peror Nicholas has approved the decis-
ion of the council of war to send Grand
Duke Nicholas Nicholaievitch to re-
place General Kuropakin as the best
means of putting stop to the intrigues
and jealousies among generals of the
army, both at st. Petersburg and at
the front. General Soukhomlinoff will
be chief of staff.

Though traffic conditions were some

were few minor accidents as re-

FIGHT TO THE BITTER END.
Russia to Raise New Army-Rojest-
Vensky to Fiuht TOGO.

Russia to Raise New Army-Roiest
vensky to Fight Togo.
st. Petersburg, March 1.-THE i'm.
mediate answer of the Russian gov
eminent to the defeat at Mukden is the
announcement that new army will
be raised and the forces in the far
east reOrganized; that Vice Admiral
Rojestvensky will be ordered to sail
on and try conclusions with Togo and
that the war will be prosecuted to the
bitter end.
This is the present temper of Emper-
or Nicholas and his dominant advisers,
voiced in an official announcement that
the position of Russia is unchanged,
and that the initiative for peace can
only come from Japan. Should the
island empire choose to tender mod
crate terms and recognize its adver-
sary as the power in the far east,
peace could be easily arranged; but
the voice of her diplomacy in various
parts of the world indicates that she
is not ready to do this, and the Rus
sian government, with the full magni-
tude of the disaster at Mukden still
undetermined, but with the 1905 cam
paign seemingly already hopelessly
compromised, retreat to Hardin inc
vitable, and Vladivostok practically
lost, declares that the time has not yet
come when Russia can be forced to
humble herself.
1t is reported that the dispatch of
two new army corps, including the
Fourteenth from Poland, and several
smaller units, has already been deter
mined upon, and that plans for further
mobilization are under discussion.

Peace Talk in the Air.

But while this is the official attitude,
nothing but peace talk is heard in ST.
Petersburg. The difficulties of mobli-
zatlon on a large scale will be enor-
nous; in fact, it is stated in some
quarters that it will be impossible.
Nevertheless, it might be accom-
