LIneVhch Surrounded.
Toxic, June 17.-Gen. Linevitch,
with his entire army, is completely en-
veloped. The Japanese army has made
a circle of hundred miles in circum-
ference around him and gradually is
drawing closer, moving with even a
greater degree of mobility than it did
at Mukden.
The Russian commander, IL is be-
lieved certain, will lose in what prob
ably will be the greatest battle of the
war.
Accumulate stores.
The Russians have accumulated i'm
mense stores at Guntzuling (Gunshu
pass. 100 miles north of Tieling). which
forms center. whence troops are dis
patched in all directions.
Many light railways are being con-
structed northward TO facilitate the
Russian retreat. II seems that Gen.
Linevitch. who is bewildered by the
Japanese strategy. has a theory that
Gen. Kuropatkin always was defeated
because he never provided a satisfac-
tory place at which TO stop his retreat
Consequently. he is building permanent
works along the Sungari river.

WAS IT MURDER?
Question That is Agitating Free
port Concerning Death
of Media Pyle.
BODY FOUND WITH SISTERS
Latter Believed to Have Thrown Her
into Water and Then Sui
cided.

Freeport. Ill, June ibid Mrs. Ju-
liza Young murder Media Pyle and then
commit suicide? The police believe
she did.
Late developments in the mystery
in the death of the two women whose
bodies were found in the river here
Thursday morning point to case of
murder and suicide, rather than to a
double suicide under a death compact.
1t is now believed that the girl, Me
dia Pyle, went to her death unwilling
ly; that she was made senseless by a
blow on the head and then carried or
thrown into the water. The police be-
lieve Mrs. Young struck the blow that
made the girl unconscious and then car
ried her into the water to make sure
of them dying together.
Verdict of COrOner's Jury.
The verdict of the coroner's jury lent
color to the foregoing theory in part.
The verdict in the case of Media Pyle
was:
The undersigned jurors. sworn to
inquire of the death of Media Pyle, on
oath do find that she came to her death
from injuries sufficient to render her
unconscious, her body being thrown in
the Pecatonica river by some party or
parties to the jury unknown"
The jury in the case of Mrs. Young
simply returned a verdict of suicide by
drowning.
Physicians Differ.
The verdict in the case of Media
Pyle was based on the testimony of
three physicians, who stated as their
belief that the girl was unconscious
but not dead. when she entered the
water from the fact that her lungs were
filled with air, and that there was a
confusion on the temple which seemed
to have been caused before her death.
Two other physicians. however, testi-
fed to a contrary opinion. The jury
gave weight to the preponderance of
evidence and inclined to the murder
theory.

Then why do we cry and struggle and sigh,
Over trials that never may come?
Why climb the steep hills Of the future?
Why look for the rocks on the wayf
If worries should come, they will pass one BIZ
