Chefoo, Aug. 15.—The Associated Press
correspondent at Tsing Chou wires that
the Russian battleship Czarevitch receiv-
ed terrible punishment in the figlif off
Shantung promontory on Aug. 10, last-
ing from noon until evening. The
Czarevitch bore the brunt of the fighting
until 4 o'clock in the afternoon, when
Admiral Withoftwas hit by a shell,which
blew his body to pieces, only one of his
legs being found after the explosion.
Four officer* standing near him were also
killed. Altogether the Czarevitch lost
15 men killed and wounded.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon of Aug.
ii, a Russian torpedo boat destroyer,
badly damaged, steamed slowly into
Tsing Chou and half an hour later the
peot^cted cruiser Novik, slightly injured,
entered port. No dead were on board
either vessel. They took coal and de.
parted at 3 o'clock on the morning of
Aug. 12.
The battleship Czarevitch arrived at
Tsing Chou on the night of Aug. 11,
steaming at the rate of four knots an
hour and burning immense quantities of
coal to make even that r.ate of spged.
Her rudder shaft was broken, one gun
was disabled, life boats had been lost,
her masts were badly bent, her funnels
were riddled and her bridge had been
twisted out of position. The projectile
holes above the water line were covered
with makeshift stoppers of wood.
The same night, Aug. 11, the cruiser
Askold, with five of her crew dead and
twelve wounded, and one torpedo boat
destroyer attempted to enter Tsing Chou
but were kept out by a Japanese cruiser
whereupon they p'oceeded to Woosung

when they reached the corner of Dewey
and Park, where the street has been
graded, there was a steep incline and in
some manner the horse got across but the
buggy was broken completely into two
parts. The fact that the occupants es-
caped serious injury seems almost a
miracle, but neither seemed the worst
from the accident. The horse, while a

Some very important changes in the
affairs of the Rock Island road has been
made within the past few days. The
passenger and freight department has
heretofore been under one management
but business has grown to such a
I large extent that it has become necessary
to ariange it into two distinct organiza-
i tions, which was done today by the gen-
| eral manager.

brothers-in-law
fight at mcloud
McLoud, Okla., Aug. 15.—A fight be
tween two brothers in law, Messrs. Cav-
ett and Gillham, of this city, almost re-
sulted fatally for Gillham, while Cavett
is under #3,000 bonds awaiting a prelim-
inary hearing.
It appears that Cavett and Gillham
had trouble some time since, the grudge
being an old standing one, and Gillham
loaded up 011 bad whiskey Saturday
evening and got a gun, with
went after Cavett. Cavett saw him first
and stabbed him three times, one of the
cuts being a bad one in the throat, and
Gillham is seriously and probably fatally
injured.
The injured man was taken charge of
by Drs. Mooney, Hill and Kaylor, and
his injuries dressed, but he is in a very
serious condition, though the physicians
are doing all that can be done to save
his life. Cavett was arrested and put
under {,3,000 bonds to appear for a hear-
ing. It is the general impression that he
will be acquitted as he probably had to
act in self defense.
PASSION
PLAY GOOD
Later.—Coroner Fleming was called
to McLoud Sunday afternoon to hold an
inquest over the body of S. C. Cavett,
commonly known as "Bud." The three
stabs he received from his brotherinlaw
resulting in death. Gilliam is now in
jail at Tecumseh.

everyone was well pleased. The cele-
brated play is presented by Dr. John H.

Oklahoma is to have more rural free
delivery routes (which are of so much
benefit to the people who reside in rural
districts and the rural free delivery
routes to be established September 15 in
Oklahoma are as follows: Foss, Washita
county, route No. 3; Goetry, Woods
county, routes Nos. 2 and 3.
At the large tabernacle on Ninth and
Broadway at ihe usual hour the revival
services were conducted bv Rev. R. T.
William and J. L. Davis. The tent was
crowded with people who gathered there
to hear the eloquent discourses which
are being delivered by these young
preachers. The meeting is to continue
for some time yet, and the people of
Shawnee of all denominations should
turn out and assist these people in their
good work. They are here for the bene-
fit of Shawnee and her people and it is
evident they are very much interested in
that noble work which they are about.
Much good is going to be accomplished
ami if you wish to hear something that
will do you good attend these services.
A Statement.
The statement that no records had
been kept by the M. K. & T. right of
way committee, made by the News in
their issue of August 15 is incorrect. Our
report was that practically no records
that could be depended upon have been
kept since Homer Stone went out of
their office. Records were kept while he
had charge of the books.

tered by a woman. She is the government inspector ot Indian schools and vsits

of people both young and old, to enjoy a
day in picnicing and they are having a
jolly time. Dinner was served at usual
noon hour today and a goodly number of
people appeased their appetites at the
bountiful spread prepared hv the ladies
of the Catholic church.
A nice dancing platform has been erect-
ed and dancing was commenced there
early this morning and has continued
throughout the day. The picnic will
continue until a late hour tonight. Sup-
per will be served this evening and many
good things can be found there to eat.
The dancing will also continue after the
evening meal.
The outing has been a perfect success
in every respect and the ladies of the
church are to be congratulated.
BALL GAME
A hard game of ball was played l>e-
tween Shawnee and the Guthrie baseball
teams Sunday afternoon at Oak Park
east of the city which resulted in a vic-
tory for the Guthrie team both times. A
number of good plays were made by each
side, especially by the Shawnee team in
the first inning of the second game.
Guthrie started off in a storui in the first
inning of the first game scoring three
times. Though the weather was very
warm and unpleasant still a good ciowd
witnessed both the games.

Chefoo, Aug. 15.—The latest news
from the seat of war indicates that the
combined attack ou Port Arthur has be-
'gun and the brave Japanese are march-
ing on that city without wavering.
Six hundred of the crew which were
on the Cruiser Purill were captured by
the Japanese and sent to the Japs' naval
station, Sasibo. The Russian vessels
which took refuge in German harbor at
Port Tsin Tau, put out their commission
flags but were hauled down by German
authorities and the vessels and crews will
be held until the end of the war.

SAN ANTONIO.
The climate's the thing at San Antonio.
A rare day in June is not finer than the
average day in San Antonio. Climate,
scenery and the good hotels make it a
perfect winter resort. The cosmopolitan
population, the crumbling walls, ruins
and the historic places near San Antonio
are especially interesting.
Koty's through Pullman sleepers from
St. Louis, Kansas City and Shrjveport
make the trip comfortable.

fully illustrated booklet about the city,
its history and its varied attractions, will
be sent anywhere on receipt of 4 cents in
