i ' . ' "
Evaosvill?, Ind., July." 6. The
race riot began growing still worse
at 4 o'clock this morning. The po
lice sent after the mob which start
ed for Baptisttown to blow up the
negro colony, telephoned back to
headquarters that they ,were pow
erless as the mob was armed with
rifles and they had only revolvers.
Just after dawn the mob began
bombarding the houses of colored
pBople in Baptisttown and the po
lice had reports that many persons
were wounded in ths battle that
followed, and that there are proba
bly some deathB. , -":..;.
There s is a. report that several
houses have been blown up. :
At 1 o'clock this morning the
city is in the hands of a mob.
Troops have been ordered out by
the governor - to protect the
jail,
which is surrounded by zuuu men.
Two negroes bave been killed in the
race riot which is rampant, The
crowd aronnd the jail, incensed at
the murder of a patrolmau by a ne
gro, is shouting death to all ne
groes. The negro has been secretly
removed to Vincennes, but the mob
refuses to believe it and is trying
to tear down the jail. Stonemasons
in the mob are chiseling out the
bars of the windows and a batter
ing ram is being used.
A white boy named Logan has
been shot by a negro.
An unknown negro woman baa
been killed and several negroes
have been severely injured.
A-cornpany of- negroes -ermed
with rifles, is marching through the
streets threatening to kill all white
people. They have just broken in
to a hardware etore and secured all
the arm 8 and ammunition. Three
business merbave just been fired
on, and are now organizing and
arming a party to exterminate the
negroes.
The militiahas been ordered out
and within an hour will be at the
jail. A telegram has just been re
ceived by Captain Blum, of Com
pany E, to get the men together as
quickly as possible and to protect
the prisoners at the jail at all haz
ards. After' the mob has been dis
persed they will begin to run down
the riotous negroes. ..Almost every
hardware in - the city has been
broken, into by the citizens and not
a man can be seen on the streets
who is not armed. Those police
who are not on.duty at the jail or
the station houses are patrolling
the streets with rifles.
The streets present a scene of
wild disorder. The steel bars of
the jail windows could not with
stand the rain, of blows from the
battering ram, of. the mob. The
crowd swarmed in and began a
search for the murderer.. Police
"Captain Bran nick tried to check
their advance with the hose. When
he appearecLat the window holding
the nozzle a rain of bullets was sent
through the window. The captain
retreated and no further attempt
was made to keep the mob out. A
mob of 500 men heavily armed,
is row marching through the streets
of the city where negroes would
be likely to be found.
. The race riot tonight was the im
mediate outcome of the shooting, of
Patrollman Massey Friday night
by Lee Brown, a negro. Brown arid
another negro had engaged in a
quarrel, and Brown, had sworn to
kill his antagonist. He ran toward
his home to secure a revolver, and
Patrolman Massey lay in wait for
Brown. As the negro came back
armed, hunting his enemy, Maesey
stepped from a doorway and laid
his hand on Brown's shoulder.
Brown turned quickly and shot Pa
trolman Massey in the abdomen.
The officer, aa he lay on the side
walk, fired at Brown and wounded
him dangerously. He fell, and the
two fired at each other as they lay
on the pavement, empting their re
volvers. . -. :" .
Patrolman Massey died last night
from his wounds. At 2 o'clock this
morning firing-can be heard in all
directions. The police are being
cheered for numerous arrests of the
negroes they are now making. - .
loday an outbreak v was fearedi
and the negro was secretly remov
ed from the jail and taken to Vin
cennes, where he now lies at the
point" of death.
While Mrs. Morgan and MrsRobb
were skated on their porch last
night two negroes passed up Third
street. One of them eaid: "There
are some damn white folks," and
with these-words both negroes drew
their revolvers and fired." One of
the bullets came within an inch of
Mrs. rtobb. They were panicstrick
en and rushed into house and fast
ened the door. After firing sever
al more shots at the house, the two
negroes passsd on up the street.
Hanna, Wyo., July 4. The fire
in the Union Pacific mine is now
confined to a small space and has
been shut off. It is expected that
by Monday or Tuesday the bodies
of the 236 victims will be reached.
The interior is terribly. wrecked and
the work of .. clearing up is very
slow. It is possible that the lower
workings may be sealed up and
thus become tombs of the unfor
tunate miners. .
The coal company is supplying
the families of all victims with
food. Later, however, financial as
sistance will be needed by many
women with families' of small chil
dren. Without seeking to detract
'm the slightest degree from the he
roic actions or William Christian,
the colored miner, who assisted in
saving many lives after the explo
sion, the psople here agree that the
pre-eminent hero of the day of the
disaster was Frank Collins, an ex
pert English miner. He was one
of the first men to enter the mine
afttr the explosion and he .carried
out 11 men before he was half over
come by the afterdamp.
Middlesboro, Mass., July 4
A mob of young men, angered by
the arrest of one of their number
during the night, wounded a depu
ty sheriff by shooting him in the
fo with a blank cartridge, assault
ed a policeman, bombarded the
house of a police court judge with
stones, and stormed the town house
in an attempt to release the prison
er, x hey previously had set sev
eral fires, and when Judge Nathan
Washburn, whose house was stoned,
found that the local authorities
were helpless to control the rioibust
crowd, he telephoned to near-by
places for help. .

Grant's Pass, Or., July 3. Dave
Webb, a rancher who resides on
Elk Creek, a few miles from this
city, while plowing a few days ago,
unearthed an old rusty can contain
ins $100 in money. Later, one of
his children, while scratching in
the dirt at the spot where the can
was found, uncovered a $20 gold
piece. . -
The ground where the money
was found had never been plowed
before, and a cabin formerly - stood
there. The can was found where
the chimney of the cabin formerly
stood and was evidently buried
there by the occupant of the cabin.
One of the coins in the can bore the
date of 1880, so the money could
not have been buried earlier than
that date, i ... .
