Sladen, that a j certain wtie was "dead"; that he laid hold of the wire and fell senseless, and that he was "laid out" by by standers in the belief that life was extinct Policeman Hoseling swore thst he assisted In handling what people thought to be the dead body of Stln son. but that by vigorous work they succeeded in resuscitating him.

Today Mukden is as thriving as I ever saw, If not more so. The Rus sians are fortified II miles to the south on a line that everyone believes the Japanese can neither break nor turn. The city has opened up again, and life is going on as smoothly as If there were not two big armies at guar ters close enough for us to hear every big gun that Is fired. The shops are open and doing a thriving trade, not only In the necessaries of life, but luxuries as well. Furs are In the greatest demand. In the big shops one can find skins of seals and tiger., otter and bear and the thousand and one other varieties that the Chinese work Into overcoats, shubas. glove. and cape.. Silks find ready purchas. ers. and old and, rare bits of bronze, chinaware and Jewel work that disap peared so mysteriously when the city was thought to be threatened, are displayed for sale. Native cabs are again seen on the streets, and soldiers on duty at the street crossings direct the busy traf fic like the police on the Nvsky Pros pect In St Petersburg. Altogether the fear of war and hos tile occupancy vanished from Muk den, and the town is living Its old, easy Oriental life, with Just a leaven of modem energy Introduced by population of about 260.000 foreign- era scattered roundabout .- Mary Krkeep- wltness Bankruptcy Court TrjC Find Package of Valr Cleveland, Dec. 2 If Londervtlle, for 12 yer ed for Dr. Chadwlck.4 in me inaawicR bankruptcy-hearing before Referee Remington today.

Jimmy Brltt secured the decision over "Bat tling" Nelson last night after 2t rounds of fierce fighting. Both men fought until almost exhausted and the decision was given on points. Nelson fought with the flrrreiteasi of a tiger and did not appear In any worse form than his plucky antagon ist when the gong sounded on tha lust round, but Brltt showed the most science and ring generalship. In the closing round the California boy was punching the Chicago boy all over the ring, but his blows lack ed sufficient force to put a quietus on his opponent. At several stages of the fight Nel son was budly punished, but Ire al ways kept gamely coming up In tha tiring line. Only once did he have the local boy In dl.treaa. and then Brltt's excellent generalship and tho advice of his seconds saved him front going too close to the dan gar point. Dcfratixl -Man a Wonder.
