RUSSIANS RUN AWAY.
Residents of the Island of SnLhalin
Frightened at Trading Vessels.

An c"plTs of the inhabitants Of rhc
Siberian town of Petropalovsly was
caused w., ~ arrival at that port of
the steamer Mnntara oe this city, says
the San Fran is0o Examiner The peo-
pie took the offensive trading steamer
to be a Japanese warship sent to bonn
bard their homes. and they beat a
hasty retreat to the hills. When the
Montara arrived in the harbor her
men found a deserted village. Not
only had the populace decamped. but
they had taken their household furni-
ture with them.
The Montara arrived here yesterday
with a cargo of furs. and Captain
Reilly told the story of the panic
caused in the Siberian town when the
vessel made port. The Montara
reached Petrapalovsky on May 30th.
AS soon as the smoke of the steamer
was sighted in the offing signal fires
were lighted to warn the people of the
approach of the strange vessel The
people imme diately armed themselves
and fled to the hills back of the town.
Not until they were convinced that
the steamer flew the American flag
could they be induced to return to
their homes.
The arrival of the British steamer
Stepney at the port caused a similar
panic. When the vessel was sighted
off shore the natives at work on the
Montara dropped their trucks and
went into hiding.
Captain Reilly states that the inhab-
itants of Kamschatka and Petropalov-
sky were in entire ignorance of the
progress of the war. It was news tu
them to learn that Port Arthur had
fallen. A strict censorship was main
tanned, and John Johnson, an Amer
lean resident of the place, was thrown
into Jail for allowing the natives to
see the American papers. The Mon
tara carried priest from Behring Is
land to Petropalovsky. The priest
was shot in the arm by an inhabitant
of the island.

son, his partner, Van Gesner and
Marion r. Biggs, formerly United

Representative Williamson and his
associates are charged, under the in
dictment returned against them. with
having conspired to commit an oftense
against the United States by suborn-
ing persons to swear falsely before the
land commissioners in order to get
control of land near Prineville, Ore
The indictment in brought under
section $40 of the resivsed statutes
of the United States, which section
provides, where two or more persons
conspire together to commit any Of
fense against the United States, or to
defraud the United States in any man.

persons does an act to further the
conspiracy, then all are parties to the
crime and are liable to a fine of not
less than $1,000 or more than $40. 900,
and to Imprisonment for not more
than two years.
1t is alleged that on June 80, 1902.
the defendants conspired to suhoru
100 persons to commit the offense Of
perjury by making false declarations
in the filing of land near Prineville.
Marion R. Biggs was at that time
United States commissioner. and it is
alleged that 100 persons went before
him and swore that lands about to be
filed upon under the timber and stone
act were being taken in good faith 10y
! them when in fact the entries were
being made at the solicitation and un-
der the dierction of the defendants,
who were to receive the lands once
patent had been issued on them.
The lands it is alleged were to he
acquired by Williamson and Van Ges-
ner, partners in the sheep business
near Prineville, and to be used by
them for sheep range.
The opening day was consumed in
the selection of a jury. The case
promises to be a most stuhbornly con-
tested one and to occupy as much II
not more time in the hearing than the
Mitchell case. More than 100 witnesses
are present for the prosecution who
hope to prove by their evidence that
I the allegations of the government are
true, while a small army will testify
in behalf of the defense against the
indictment and its charges.
