MISSING FANC|ER
IS UNDER ARREST
ROBERT C0NDEE CAPTURED
IN PORTLAND
Editor Of Poultry Magazine Must Face
His Alleged Victims In
Courts of Los
Angeles

Robert A. Condee, formerly editor ot
the Western Fancier, who has been thu
object of diligent search by officer!
all over the country since January
20, has been apprehended in Portland
Ore, and the police of that city are
holding him pending the arrival of al
officer to bring him back to Los Ange
| les. Sheriff White was notified yester.
day of his arrest.
The charge in the warrant which
Sheriff White will take with hin
when he goes north. to bring Condee
back will be embezzlement. 1t is al.
legged that Condee obtained money In
various fraudulent ways.
About six months ago Condee started
magazine called the Western Fan
cier, a monthly publication devoted tc
the interests of poultry raising. Many
subscribers were down on the books
for the first years subscription, and In
this way Condee collected enough
money to tide him over for time,
The list of Condees creditors in LOS
Angeles, and those who allege he de-
frauded them, is large.
When Condee left Los Angeles his
victims held a conference and one OF
their number swore to the warrant on
which he will be brought back to face
charge in court.
When he left here it was thought
Condee had made good his escape
from the United States and gone to
Central America, where the extradi-
ton laws could not touch him. Noti-
fications were sent to all the principal
cities in the country, however, and the
result is that he is now in the Portland
Jail.
One of Condee's associates in the
publishing and trust business, H. S.
Budd, Is now in the Jail here and is
delighted to hear that his former part
ner has been arrested and will have to
come back to Los Angeles to face a
charge in the courts.
Among those who had dealings with
Condee and who will testify against
him when he is brought to trial are
the Newberry Grocery company, S. r.
Kellam and the Kruckeberg Press
company. His liability to each per-
son or firm will not exceen 5000, but
when it is all taken together the entire
amount is said to aggregate nearly
10000.

ST. PETERSBURG, March 2, 2 a. m.
The curtain of a rigid censorship has
settled down over events in Manchu-

results of yesterdays fighting. Dis
patches describing the picturesque
events of the night retreat from Da

railroad bridge across the Shakhe

through. but nothing to show whether
Gen. Kuropatkin is withdrawing or is

ceived from the left flank. the last dis
patches leaving the Russians clinging
desperately to Oubenpusa against

Although it Is not admitted at the
war office, the general impression in
military circles is that General Kuro-
patkin may be forced to withdraw.
Not only is General Kuroki threaten

the position of the Russian center, ap-

nenkampff's Retreat
BY Associated Press
OUBENPUSA, Feb. 28 (via Mukden.
March Done Of the coldest and most
cheerless operations of the winters
warfare in Manchuria was the thir-
teen-mile retreat of the Tsinkhetchen
division the night of February 26 from
Da pass to Oubenpusa. All day Gen.
Rennenkampff's soldiers withstood con-
tnuous attacks by overwhelming
numbers of Japanese in order to cover
the withdrawal of supplies which had
been accumulated in large warehouses
at Solun.
This village is eight miles In the rear
and at the head of horse cart road,
which was constructed at the base at
Mukden in order to provision the ad-
vanced positions on the left flank. 1t
is five miles north of the village of
Oubenpusa, where the road from Gao
pass to the eastward joins the maiE
Tsinkhetchen-F Fuchun highway.
At o'clock on the evening of Feb
ruary 26 the commander of the bat
talon on the Gao pass road sent WORD
that he was unabl longer to hold out
against the Japanese advancing in that
direction, but the commander of the
division was determined to hold out
until the last wagon should have left
Solun. Word was received at O'Clock
that the withdrawal had been safely
effected, and then the dreary retreat
began.
Disaster Narrowly Averted
The wind was high, the snow was
falling heavily Every moment the
cannonading of the Gao pass road be-
came louder, and the bursting of
shrapnel Illuminated the heights to the
eastward. 1t became evident to every
man of the command plodding through
the deepening snow that the danger of
being cut off was imminent. Only the
GOODNESS and courage of the COM
mander averted disaster. f
The retreat was so timed that the
rear guard reached Oubenpusa just in
time. The force retreating on the
easterly road had been driven in on
the village but the forces united and
with fixed bayonets turned about and,
in utter darkness, drove the Japanese
back two miles.
on February 27, the Japanese re-
newed the attack, but the Russians
repulsed repeated assaults. Today
also there was desperate fighting, but
the Russians succeeded in retaining
possession of the village.
The Japanese fought with fanatical
bravery, making several light attacks
and charging under cover of darkness
and a fierce snowstorm almost up to
the muzzles of the Russian batteries
which met them with canister and
grape.
