ANOTHER ACCOUNT. Missing from Esmerelda Inn, near Chimney Rjck, since Thursday morn ing, Miss lfevereaux of Raleigh, was yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock found dead by a irty of searchers. The youiA' woman had fallen or in tentionally! jumped from a high rock cliff at Silver Falls and was dashed to death beloy. Miss Dexereaux was a member oi a well-known' Raleigh family. She came to Esmere'.da Inn in the beautiful Hickory Nit Gap and Chimney Rock section u I accompanied. Thursdav morning sEe went for a walk. As she did not return at lunch time and failed to appear - as the afternoon went on, Col. Thosi Turner, proprietor of the Inn, became alarmed and searching parties wei-'e organized. Although the searchers vere familiar with the moun tains tliey1 could find no trace of the missing woman because of the heavy rains. Yesterday morning it was thought tfyat she had fallen into the swollen citeek and preparations were made to drag it. The searchers con tinued to look for the woman and at 2 o'clock twT young men found the body at the foot of a high cliff at Silver Falls, a mile from Esmerelda Inn. It was not ktfown how long she had been dead. , . There a;re circumstances connected with Miss Devereaux's actions which lead the people of the neighborhood to believe that she committed suicide Before she left the Inn she went into the woods and buried some letters Then she was seen to throw into the river some object. She had worn shortly before this a locket in which a iock oi hair and as this locket was not found on her body it is believed in the neighborhood that it was the locket she had thrown into the stream It is the letter burying and the loss of the locketfvhich sustains the local be lief in thelsuicide theory. Miss Defvereaux is said to have been about 33 years old. Mr. W . L. Freeman of the under taking lir.n of J. V. Brown & Co., left last night to drive to Esmerelda Inn and will; return here this afternoon with the remains. They will be pre pared for burial and shipped to Ral eigh.

She would wrrte a little and then go over her fingers just like she was counting on them; and she must have remained there three or four hours. In the afternoon late I went to her room and knocked on the door. She came to the door to let me in and seemed to be crying; had a sheet over her face and I asked what was the matter, and she said she did not feel well. I asked if she was coming out to supper, or if she wanted a cup of tea in her room? She said no, she didn't want anything.

The health of our community is somewhat better than a few weeks ago. Mrs. Sarah Ruffs health is improved. and we are glad to state is able to be out again.

Success to many readers Two Battles On at One Time Soldiers Suffered Greatly From Heat. Tokio, August 5. General Kuroki has administered a severe defeat to the Russians who defended the Rus sian east flank at Liao Yang, winning separate actions at Yushulikzu and Yangse Pass. The two places are 22 miles apart, but the two actions were fought at the same time. The Russians held strong positions. The thermome ter registered over 100 Fahrenheit and the soldiers suifered cruelly from heat exhaustion. At Yushulikzu the Rus sians had two divisions of infantry and some artillery, and they resisted the Japanese assault vigerously. Both attacks were begun at dawn on Sunday July 31. At Yushulikzu the Japanese carried the Russian right and left wings, but on account of the strength of the main Russian position they were unable to press the attack. The two aimies rested Sunday night, facing each other. At dawn on Monday the Japanese resumed the attack and by noon they had dislodged the enemy and driven him four miles to Laoholing. At Angse Pass also the Japanese were success ful. Their artillery opened on the enemy and the artillery moved for ward from Makumeza. The attack on this place was made at 1 o'clock Sun day' and by nightfall the Japanese were in possession of a majority of the Russian positions, although the enemy had resisted with determina tion. The Japanese forces passed the night in battle formation and another assault was made on Monday at dawn. By 8 o'clock Monday morning Yangse ass and the surrounding heights had been captured. Gen. Kuroki explains the slowness of these actions by ex plaining that the difficult topography of the battlefield made it impossible to maintain good artillery positions, and that the great heat fatigued the troops. The Russian force at Yangse Pass was estimated at two and one- half divisions and four batteries of artillery. The enemy retreated to ward Tanghoyan. Gen. Kuroki re ports the capture of some field guns, but the number is not given. The Japanese casualties are being in vestigated. Charlotte Observer. The Tribune and its W. D. HARRIS.
