A decidedly hot skirmish took place on November 29 on the Russian right, | between the villages of Chjantan and | Syaokchenl, the latter place being ccu- i pied by Russian troops. Several compa- ! nies of Japanese, with cavalry, moving at night tried to cut the Russian com- | munications in this direction, but bor- ! der scouts incloscd the Japanese on two sides ande routed them, capturing ten rifles and several horses. The Russian loss was five killed or wounded.

Having, to its satisfaction, es- tablished the “fact -of assoclation and businegs intercourse between the al- leged conspirators, the prosecuters for the Government to-day continued their efforts to show that those who were S0 associated wrote the names of the various entrymen to the papers by which “title finally passed from the United States to those who are pre- tended. to have been applicants for a portion of .the public domain. John P. Marshall and J. F. Sherman were the handwriting experts who tes- tified. Their testimony is to the effect that the signature of Thomas Wilkins *and .Joseph Wilson were written by Horace G. McKinley, that the body ‘of the relinquishment of the George A. ‘Howe lands. was written by McKinley and that Miss Mary Ware and H. G. McKinley between ~ them forged the signatures of John A. Foster, George A Graham and George L. Pettis. Guy Huff, they say,‘ wrote the signature purporting to 'be that of James Wake- field and, if the signature of D. W. Tarpley on his bond is a genuine one, he wrote the second series of signatures purporting to be those of Maude Witt. For Maude Witt there appears to have been two different persons acting as signers, for, as shown by the enlarged photographs of this signature, three of six specimens were written by a dif- ferent hand. The testimony of Expert Sherman was that it is very improbable that the same person wrote both sets. * SIGNED FALSE AFFIDAVITS. - J. A.

BUTTE, Mont., Dec. 1.—Few of the audiencé watching the play “The Fatal Scar” in the Broadway Theater to- night knew that outside, in a hack. sitting with a . cocked revolver in his | hands, was a man thirsting for the life | of Frank James, the main attraction of the play. If the man, Charles N. | Galland of Helena, had made an- at-| tempt to draw a revolver on James no one can say what the result might have | been. | The hack driver who took Galland to | the theater said he was accosted by | Galland on the street and asked to have a drink. Galland then gave orders to be driven to the Broadway Theater, after asking where James was playing. ‘When the theater was reached Galland asked the driver to go in and get James, saying he was after his life. The driver then tipped off the affair to the police and the arrest followed. The police investigated, and, after going back on the stage and warning James, went to the hack and relieved Galland of his revolver. Galland had the weapon at full cock and was hold- ing it in both hands. At the jail Galland, who under the influence of liquor, t: inco- herently of the alleged shooting of his brother-in-law during the Northfield Bank robbery, and insisted he ~would “get” James before he left town. The police intend to keep Galland un- til James is out of the way in order to prevent trouble, although no- charge will be placed against him. ‘When seen at the hotel after the play James had a revolver in his over- coat pocket and was anxious to have the situation explained to htm. He had taken a drink at a bar with Galland during the afternoon, but he did not know who he was. He said he did not want to have any trouble, but would like to be prepared if any man was looking for him. “Why,” said James, “if he believed I or any one I had been associated with killed his brother-in-law, why did he not get me years ago? Every one knows where I have been pitching hay and plowing for the past twenty years down in Missouri, and if he is just be- ginning to think of making holes in me I fl}’ink he is a little bit late—don’t you?” i b WEALTHY MINE OWNER ARRESTED IN CHICAGO Newton of Brookline, Mass,, against| Mrs. Cassie L.

Judge Babcock granted the request, with the consent of couns~' for Mrs. Chadwick, and the hearing was fixed to take place next Saturday. The action was taken, it is understood, as a result of negotiations, which, it was said, probably would result in set- tling the claim of Newton out of court.

Y., Dec. 1.—A fight for the cohtrolling interest in the German- American Bank to-day resulted in a run on that institution estimated by Vice President Schilling at $400,000. The withdrawals were- made by large de- posjtars so that the run did not cause any perceptible excitement to-day.. ‘President Emery of the Greman- American Bank called a meeting of the directors ‘at the close of to-day's busi- ness. When the meeting was over two statements were issued: . One declared: < “The bank is perfectly solvent; able and willing to meet any demand"upon it'in full and ready to submit its entire affairs to.the examination of the clear- ing-house." 3 A second statement read: “Notice is hereby given that Bdward A. Weppner is no longer cashiér of: this bank, his relations having been severed to-day."” 4 President Emery came here from Bal- timore last spring to assume the presi- dency of the bank, having purchased a controlling interest in the institution. The minority stockholders have not al- ways been in accord with the new officials. It was proposed by the new regime to consolidate the German- American and another bank in this city. The minority stockholders represented by Cashier Weppner, it is claimed, op- posed this move. ———— WORKINGMEN AND WOMEN ROBBED ' BY A BANKER Embezzler Tries to Escape to but Is Caught by the ) NEW YORK, Dec. 1.—Oscar Adler, 28 years of age, who did a banking business under the firm name of No- vak & Co, at 14 Avenue B, was arrest- ed to-night as he was making prep- arations to escape to Europe. that a statement to be issued by the | bank would show that institution to be |in first-class condition and also that the indebtedness of Mrs. Chadwick to it | was only about $17,000.
