churia havosDeen engaged in a mighty
conflict, the issue of which has not
been reached. Although most Of the
news from the scenes of battle m
through Russian sources, and conse-
quently may be supposed to present
the facts in as favorable a light as
possible for the Russian arms. it is
evident that the Japanese made some
gains yesterday. St. Petersburg has
an unofficial report that General
kouropatkin's center has been broken
and that thirteen siege guns have
fallen into the hands of the Japanese.
These guns, which are of six and eight
inch caliber, were given permanent
emplacements on the line of the rail
road north of Shakhe station, the fact
~evidencing the confidence of the Rus
SLAMS that the Japanese could not pen
citrate thither.
In st. Petersburg it Is generally be-
lieved hat General Kouropatkin is
fighting a rear guard action to cover
his retreat and that the night will
have witnessed a large withdrawal of
troops towards Tie pass. All of the
commander-in-chief's ability, 1t Is
considered, will be required to extri-
cate his army from its present predic-
ament. This issue, it is expected,
will be decided today, and a great
deal unquestionably depends on the
comparative ability of the two armies
to resist the effect of hunger and IA
tigue, the limit of human endurance
evidently having been nearly reached
on both sides. Beyond the statement
that the casualties exceeded those of
the battle of Lao Yang, there is lit

TEARS cALDWELL's HAT IN AN

Trainer Who VIII subdue Big African
Lion on the Vaudeville Stage Ven-
tures Too Close to the Cage and
Nearly Loses an Eye

Lobengula, the big blaokmaned lion,
who has been the principal attraction
of the Eastlake park zoo, nearly sue
ceeded in wiping out a long standing
grudge he has cherished against w. M.
Caldwell, the English animal trainer,
yesterday afternoon.
Caldwell ventured too close to Big
Ben's cage, and with an angry snarl
the lion thrust his huge paw between
the bars of his cage. bringing it down
with immense force on Caldwell s
head. Fortunately the animal trainer
that prevented Lobengula from
scratching out his left eye. The lions
claws ripped through the stiff straw
as If 1t had been so much paper and
a slight abrasion on Caldwell's fore
head is the mark left by one sharp
claw.
Big Ben hates Caldwell with all the
fervor of which his untamed heart is
capable, and this is not the first tinlo
he has tried to wreak vengeance on the

the lion made desperate attempt to
kill Caldwell at Eastlake park and this
suggested to the daring trainer the
plan of putting on a vaudeville sketch
at one of the local theaters, in which
he would enter the lions cage and
subdue him in spite of his hatred. The
idea was we'll received in local theatri-
cal circles and a play written around
Caldwell and Lobengula. This play will
be produced for the first time at the
Casino theater Monday evening.
The scene of the play is laid in South
Africa, where some diamonds are
stolen and hidden in the lions cage
1t is the duty of Caldwell to go into
the cage and secure the jewels, at the
same time shooting blank cartridges at
the lion. Lobengula hates firearms al
most as much as he does Caldwell and
the combination is likely to produce
some interesting results.

C0R0NER'S JURY FINDS
THAT MURDER WAS DONE

Unknown Person
Special to The Herald.

VENTURA, Sept. 9.-The death Of
John Mears at Santa Paula, last Thurs
day becomes more and more a mys-
terry. The coroner's inquest was held
yesterday and the verdict of the Jury
was that John William Mears came
to his death from a shot fired from a
shot gun in the hands of some person
unknown to the jury"
DR.. T. p. Cunnane, acting county ply
sician, was present and made an ex-
animation of the wound and testified
that he had found Jagged hole about
an inch and a half in diameter In
taken a horizontal course, a little
downward If anything; 1t had severed
the brain from the spinal cord and
the bones of the head were fractured.
The shot had lodged in the face. There
were no powder burns, nor was the
hair burned, showing that the gun
must have been some distance away
when fired.
Frank Foster testified that he had
been called to the ranch by the death
of John Mears. When he arrived
there he found a Mexican and one or
two women. The body of the young
man had fallen across the back of

The town was thronged today with the
veterans and their friends, and the peo.
pie Of Orange county, who took the en-
tertainment of the veterans in hand
today, seemed determined to make II
the banner day Of the encampment, moi
only from a point of interest but at
tendance as we'll.
Santa Ana, Anaheim, Orange and
every hamlet in the county sent large
delegation and tonight the hotels, res
taurants, lodging houses and tents are
taxed to their utmost.
There was no cessation in the pro-

ground. Rev. DR.. Pitner. w. B. John
son of Riverside and several other
speakers addressed the veterans dur
ing the forenoon, and the speeches
were interspersed with vocal and in
strumental music of high order.
After the meeting in the big tent
there was an old-fashioned campfire,
and the stories told by the veterans
were tinged with humor and pathos.
This afternoon the center of attrac-
ton was Prof. Scott's orchestra, which
rendered patriotic airs at the pavilion.
At $50 o'clock Commander Paul lined
up the veterans in dress parade and
the sight of the "old boys" marching
to music of fife and drum was one long
to be remembered.
Inadequate Accommodation
Tonight there was general hustle
for mattresses, quilts and blankets at
the camp grounds to provide beds for
numerous friends who came to remain
over Sunday.
The crowd was so large that num-
