Scrlpps-McRae Press Ass'n.
London August 7. Additional de-
tails of the Pei Tsang battle are being
received here. One correspondent says
that when the trenches were rushed
the Chinese throw down their arms
and fled in disorder. The Russians are
said to have attempted to bayonet a
number of prisoners taken by the
American marines. The Chinese casu-
alties are placed at 4000.
Tien Tsin August 5 delayed. A
great battle was fought between the
allied forces and the Chinese at Fei
Tsang today. The allies attacked at
daybreak. At the first onslaught the
Ohinese were driven from the trenches
but they rallied and resisted stub-
bornly. The casualties on the allies
side were heavy and the Chinese loss
was enormous. The Americans who
An Unknown Dead Man Found
in a Cora Field With
Head Mashed.
Sheriff Kelly of Kingfisher tells of
a ghastly find near Kingfisher on last
Sunday Parties found an unknown
dead man wrapped in a thick quilt and
tied with binder twine. On examining
the body the head was found to be
pounded to a jelly. Coyotes had eaten
his feet. The man was of medium
height sandy complexion and wore
a mustache. He had the appearance
of a farm laborer. Absolute mystery
surrounds the find and the body ap-
peared to have been there several days.
No papers or anything else were found
that would give a clew to the perpe-
trator of the awful deed.

sage from Conger was brought to Col.

Republican Free Homes Cele-
bration 2 Very Punky
Failure.
Just what the Republicans mean by
the phrase "Ratifying free homes
was explained today.
It means arber nit.
For weeks full sheet circus posters
have been regaling the simple minded
folk that an "immense free homos rat-
ification" would take place in Guthrie
on Tuesday August 7th The posters
also announced that there would be a
"flow of soulful oratory." The town
was to be jammed to the curbs with
people and the muzzle torn off enthu-
siasm
But there is nothing doing. J. R.
Burton failed to make his appearance:
Mr. Flynn has a sore throat and Mar
shal Harry Thompson is too busy
grieving over h's defeat as committee-
man in Garfield county to jolly up.
Hence the free homes ratifieat'on is a
very dismal fiasco. Gov. Barnes sat in
his office all day giggliug about the
matter.
Outside of the delegates who are here
to mttend the convention and Amos
Bwing oil inspector there are no visi
tors in town.
Tonight the town people will ratify
but since this was to be a territorial
celebration the Itep'ublican managers
aro justly entitled to be downcast.
If the "masses" aro not hero tomor-
row to properly ratify and offer up
thanksgiving it is suggested that Bob
Neff be wired to' come ato Guthrie in
drder that Oklahoma people may know
something is "going on in Guthrie."
