shoi tage of about $4,000, according to
l.. G.. Brand, secretary of the Title

Two weeks ago Wilson resigned his

of his parents, he became involved in
n financial scandal, in which his father
came to his rescue. 1t is said that it
took his fathers fortune to straighten
out the difficulty.
Shortly after that. in order to avoid
the disgrace following his Colorado eX-
perience, together with his wife, who
is now almost prostrated over the news
of her husbands disappearance he
moved TO this city. Letters of the
highest praise of the young man $

Recently Mrs. Wilson received a let

was dated in Wyoming. In it Wilson
is said to have admitted his guilt and
told his wife he had been untrue to

Russians Showed Superb Courage
In Unsuccessful Fight At Mukden

Mukden, March THE outlines of
Marshal Oyama's strategy have been
we'll defined since March 4th. While
maintaining series Of energetic at
tacks on the eastern front and demon
strations on the center. the Japanese
made their principal stroke westward,
the chief effort being in an endeavor
to break through the triangle Of Ulin-
pu, Madyapu and Erthtaitzy. thus sew
ering the Eastern army and the frontal
force from Mukden, and at the same
time threatening a further advance
to the northward, to deprive the Rus
SLAMS of the road by which to retreat
to Tie pass. Against this plan General
Kuropatkin decided to accept battle
both on the front and west Of Mukden
and ordered an attack beginning at
dawn on March 9Th. There was a ter.
rible artillery fire and q train of mis-
siles from ten batteries on the whole
ground between Niuguantung and
Ulinpu.
Major General Tserpitsky's battalions
fought with fierce determination. ap-
parently realizing that seven miles In
the rear, In Mukden, were It's tons OF
commissary, artillery and hospital sup.
plies, parks Of reserve artillery and
baggage. In the Mukden railway Sta
ton there was scene Of feverish &C
tivity. Trains were moving. now north
and now south. while the streets were
filled with wounded, indicating the
seriousness of the fight that was In
progress. On the roofs. on heights and
even from tree tops crowds Of curious
Russian and Chinese watched the fight
which continued to increase In In
tensity south Of Madyapu.
The Japanese, like madmen, or az
though crazed with some drug, threw
themselves upon the regiment occupy

embankment and drove 1t eastward
occupying the railway bed to the south
near Erthtaitzu. where the same mao
