' even their suDDosedllr impreirnable fortifications untenable and are
in full retreat towards Mukden, it will find the first season's cam

VILLAGES ST ON FIRE.
' A 'message received this afternoon states that Kuropatkin has
ordered all the small villages about Liao Yang burned. Four of
these villagea have already been, destroyed, renoenng several
thousand Manchurians homeless. ' ,
: The Manchurians are now joining-the brigand chunchuses m

At'a conference of the board repre

the present strike, there wit Uken ac

Ths order will be sent to every packing
house In the country, and ao member of
the amalgamatsd meat-cutters, butch

This will result In a. request that the
public refuse to sat any meat, and any
parson, nomstter In what capacity em
ployed in handling the meat, must re
fuse to handle the asm after the hour
stated, or be considered a strikebreaker;
Packers have resorted to extortion aa
result- of the strike, and they are
buying livestock on the hoof at almost
nothing, and cHnrge almost any pries
for the dressed product The public
will now be given an opportunity to
retaliate by refusing to eat meat until
such a time aa they can procure the
same at a fair market price.

is J. H. Dunham, wanted for the mur
der of six persons sear San Jose, Cel.
soma years ago. Dunham ears he as
tired of flight and life and Is now ready
to return ta.Callfomia and answer for
his crimes.
Lieutenant Brooks has Dunham
chained jo a sot in a small oabtn here
with Mi m guarding him. He has
twloe tried to commit suicide, using a
rssor and a revolver.
The- captive answers very closely to
Dunham's description. Dunham killed
CoL McOHncy. a wealthy Santa Clara
county, CaL, fruit grower, and members
of his family, and escaped, although
tle.OM reward was offered for him dead
or alive no positive clew waa ever rouna,
Dunham was last heard of m Mexico. .
Mlnto, governor-general,' and party, were
on the raln- Lord and Lady Mint es
caped without Injury.
- The reason for the switch' being left
onen hsa not been discovered SO far and
he blame has not as yet been placed eo
any one.
Ths var -cams almost to a fuH stop,
and the conductor rang the bell Indicat
ing that the passenger had boarded. The
curtains to the front windows and door
were down, and tbe young man and tha
mmrinrtnf could not be seen from tha
front platform where tha of floor and mo

his money to the solitary passenger, who
wore a white mash, and pointed a re

The patrolman - threw open tha dodr
and looked Into tha muaale of a revolver.
The highwayman turned suddenly oa
him, leaving Johnson. Nelson, rushing:
forward, grappled with the highwayman.
The latter, being tbe .smeller of the oonv
betanta, fell, and Nelson attempted to
pinion hie anna . They gradually worked
their way toward tbe end of tha oar,

There they fell.
- There was a muffled report and tha
officer loosened his hold on tha proa

the officer's grasp was broken and tha
bandit threw himself from tha ear.
There waa another shot end- a ball

Johnson were upon the robber In an In
