Case Turns State's Evidence Against Titterlngton at North Platte. North Platte, Neb., Match S. The district court has been In session for u week trying the famous tattle rust ling cases. The first case to come up wbb that of Del TItterington, who was Jointly charged with Lee Case of stealing cattle belonging to one Jones. These defendants were engaged In the butch er business together at Sutherland, and the manner of the a'rrestE and the' various escapes of Lee Cast- have been told some time ago. The trial of Del Titterlngton occupied nearly all of Ihe wee-k, and Us chief sensation was Lee Case pleading guilty to cattle stealing and then turning state's evi dence against Tltteilngton. Case tes tified as to how thoy had together stolen tho cattle and butchered them Evidence, more or less cenmcunji was given to the jury, tho defendant himself taking the stand and deny ing that ho was In the neighborhood when the crime was committed. After being out one nignt and one day the Jury was discharged because.

St. Petersburg, March S. That the bnttlo or Mukden will go down In his tory with Lino Yang in the long list of Husslnti defeats Is tho almost mil vorsnl bollof In pessimistic SI. Peters burg, which has forgotten the moan ing of the word victory. The war of fice does not admit that tho Issues of tho great battle, which already ex ceeds in inagnlUide of operations and losses that of Shakhe, has been de cided, although It Is positively said in high quarters that Kouiopntkln ban telegraphed to lOmpcror Nicholas that it will be Impossible to hold Mukden and that the withdrawal of tho army northward bus already been begun. Advices to SI. Petersburg newspa- I pers and dispatches to tho Associated Press Indicated thai the position of j the Russian army aftc r a day of furl- j ous und unprecedented fighting Is des perate, but not absolutely hopeless. Everything piobably now depends on General Kouropatkln's reserves. While the Japanese hurled thorn solves forward at every point, their main oneirics wore behind the blow west and southwest In an attempt to envelope the Russian right and drive a wedge thnnmh tho lino at Mndzyn ptt, but General Kouropatklii seems to have boon able successfully to shnugu front on the line of his shat tered right, aligning from northwest to southeast, to protect the railroad to Mukden, and It was reported ho was practically holding all his posi tions. At the same time he was draw ing in and shortening his line to the fc'OlltllOU'jt. According to reports all tho concen trated attacks of the Japanese to tho westward failed, and tho effort of Generals Nogt mid Oku to push the encircling movement north and east ward across General Koiironntkln's lino of communications was blocked. Reports, however, aro conllietlng. Ono correspondent telegraphs or hear ing firing to the northward, toward Tie pass, which may bo between Cos sack's and n Hying column of Japanese. General Kouropatklii has boon con fining his strategy, as nt Lino Yang, to meeting the attneks of the Japa nese mil accepting battle at places chosen by Field Marshal Oyanm. Both sides are terribly exhausted by ten clays of continuous fighting, and all tho correspondents nt tho front intimate that the issue must be defi nitely decided today. At the military clubs hero General Kouropatklii Is already regarded as beaten, the only question being his ability to execute a retreat. Those who believe there is still a chance Df actual Russian victory arc few and far between. Tho majority regard tho fighting as in reality a rear guard ac tion. Politically the result may determine the question of continued prosecution of the war. An overwhelming disas- " l '? ""evcd. will surely brinp nussin to terms. In its bearing on the Interior situation the result of tho battle Is regarded equally Im portant SUIT AGAINST SANTA FE ROAD.
