Russian General
Pleads Not Guilty
to Cowardice
SURRENDERED PORT ARTHUR
Court Martial Composed of
Foremost Officers of
Cars Army.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 10.-Lieuten-
ant General Stoessel was today placed
on trial to answer with his life and
reputation for the loss of Port Ar
thur on the first day Of January, 1905.
In firm tones he pleaded mot guilty"
to "needlessly surrendering the fort
ress and thereby humiliating the Rus
sian army.
General Stoessel is accused Of hav-
ing surrendered the fortress at Port
Arthur before he had exhausted all
the resources Of defense. The pun
ishment for this, under the Russian
code, Is death. He is to be tried also
on the charge of lacking initiative
and with having exceeded his power.
Court Composed Of Army Officers.
General Fock and General Reiss
are co-defendants with him. The
first Is accused of having conspired
the surrender of the fortress and
the second with having executed the
order of surrender. General Smirnoff,
General Stoessel's most bitter enemy,
is to be tried on a minor count. The
court will be composed Of nine gen.
erals under the presidency Of Vice
Admiral Doubassoff. 1t will include
Generals Kuropatkin, Mytoff and 9th
ers. General Garsky will be judge
advocate. General Stoessel will be de-
Tended by Deputy Syrtlanoff and Col
onel Veliamoff. The trial is exciting
the most intense interest in army cir
cles throughout the world.
May Not Survive Trial.
General Stoessel Is in a pitiable
state Of excitement over the final
hearing of his case, and the doctors
are apprehensive of the effect upon
the veteran officer, who has suffered
two paralytic strokes since the fall
OF the fortress.
It will be the duty of the court
martial to determine whether the
capitulation of Port Arthur on jan
uary / was justified according to Rus
sian military codes and ethics. There
were probably some $1,000 lighting
men left at the time Of the surrender.
The sick and wounded numbered
about $1,000.
Stand Taken BY Defense.
There is evidence to prove that IN
the matter of provisions Port Arthur
could easily have held out another
month, and the reserves OF ammunl'
ton. both artillery and rife, would
have suficed for even longer than
this. The garrison had 300 effective
guns when the fortress was surren-
dered The standpoint taken by Cen
erals Stoessel. Reiss and Fock Is that
the fate of Port Arthur was sealed
with the capture Of the eagles nest"
and two other positions by the Jap
anese, that every point remaining In
the hands of the Russians was ex'
posed to the Japanese fire, and that
the so.called second and third lines
Of defense were absolutely valueless
Generals Stoessel Relss and Fock
all posses the st. Georges Order for
valor, which corresponds to the Vic
toria Cross in the British army

TO Whom 1t May Concern.

Valley City, N. D., Sept. 10. 1907.
After having become a stakeholder
of the Gold Cord Mining Company, for
my own satisfaction I made a trip to
Marysville, Montana, and thence over
Empire and haNa made an examina-
tion of the property belonging to this
company and / must say was most
agreeably surprised to find even more
and a better quality of ore than was
led to expect. The buildings are COM,
plete and in good condition, the, ma
chinery all that is necessary for the
operation of a first-class property and
the ore body in sight unlimited. In
my judgment this property properly
managed should yield handsome re-.
turns and has undoubtedly a brilliant
future. 4. .E5 81

JAMESTOWN CAPITAL HAS PLEAS
ING NOTICE OF COL. LiTTLE's
5sss.. CANDIDACY

The jamestown Capital Of the 26tf
las nice write-up of Col. Little:
candidacy for the United States sen
tie. Among other things it says:
Col. Little is not: unknown to
. those who have kept track of po-
litical events since statehood as
he has been chairman Of the sen
ate Judiciary committee since the
admission of the state to the
. union, having been kept in the up {.
per house almost by practical
unanimous consent since that
/ time, which in itself is sufficient
recommendation, for when man
is reelected term after term by
his home people it indicates COM
potency in the individual and
faith in him by his constituency.
AS chairman of the judiciary
committee perforce most of the
laws enacted by the legislature
pass through his hands and as the
states revenue and judiciary laws
are considered the equal of any in
the west modicum, at least, of
/. the credit may safely be attached
to Col. Little. At any rate his
long experience in this class of
work certainly fits him for like
work in a broader field.
Col. Little is banker at the
state capital and is known as one
OF. the most progressive men in
North Dakota. Ee has been ever
ready to help in movements not
only for the advancement of his
county and section, but is broad
enough to help every way posi-
bic in the development of the
state.
The people of the Slope feel
that they are entitled to recogni-
ton in the election of a United
States senator and it is safe
gamble that when the votes are
counted they will be almost solid
ly for the colonel.
