Thrown Excitement la Intense Oth- erNewa. . . ' Chicago, Nov. 17. The crisis in the strike is on today and great ex cilement prevails in this city. Un ion pickets this morning attempted to intercept a wagonload of sap plies and bedding which the rail way company's agents were endeav oring to land at the barns for the use of non-union employes. - The mob was fired upon by the wagon drivers, and a number of the com pany's detectives following the wag on in carriages whipped out their revolvers and joined in the chase.' The pickets fled and are presuma bly uninjnred. The police was again augmented today by 1,300 and. more than five eighths of the entire -Chicago force is - now guarding the company's lines. A thousand of these are on the Cottage Grove avenue '. line, where five, cars were Bent out this morning. 5- The first 1 trip was made this morning without incident.' '.Four traiDS followed with a mail "car. Went worth -avenue cars are being run, and the street railway-officials declared 'when full police protec tion is given the service on other lines will be resumed. - Sympathiz ing teamsters are out in large dum pers, arid many attempts to block ade traffic are now being made. The police in all cases are quick to arrest the drivers. ; - :v -- r More excitement was caused here this afternoon when from a hall way on Went worth avenue an un known matf fired S -rifle ' sbor'at a passing car .which was filled with policemen, A : big bar of pigiron was thrown through another car following, which had the effect of wounding an olhcer. ' ; - ? Immediately after the shot was fired a panic ensued, in which men, women ana children were tram pled. Police officers rushed from the car and into the building from which the shot was fired. ' The of ficers were hindered by the closing and lockin g of doors. After a thor ough search of the ' premises had been made the cooclusion was reach ed that no member of the household had any part in the assault. Governor Yates refuses "to call out the militia. Baying that the com pany should call a truce and arbi trate the matter. . Mayor Harrison was prevailed upon this morning to send out an extra force 01 police' men. . ' ,v?,-v Clarksvilie, Tenn, Nov. 7.-4-H. Ward this morning was found guil ty and sentenced to ten years' im prisonment fcr criminal intimacy with an 11-year-old girl -who was an inmate of the Tennessee. Odd Fellows' Orphans Home, of wbich Ward was formerly the superintend ent. Some months ago Ward . was extradited from California, where he fled -when a scandal was immi sent. . . . - San - Francisco, Nov. 17. Ivy Powell, the 13-months-old baby -of Albert Jfoweii, 01 .Lios angeies, was sent to the children's hospital for treatment for pneumonia, and was in what is known as the croup tent, into which tames 01 medicine were introduced from a ttdve along side of the tent. During the temporary absence of the nurse the ' bedding caught fire and the baby was burn ed to death. 1 Wasco, Or., Nov. 17. The peo ple of this town are congratulating themselves that the conflagration that visited them this morning luckily was ; overcome - before the whole place was reduced to ashes. As matters stand nearly $150,000 worth of pwrty was destroyed and had not the high wind provi dentially died out, the loes would have reached to five times that a- mount. Fire started in the Oregon Trad ing company's big store about 12:30 this morning and soon became un manageable, there being nonorgan ized fire department of any kind in the town. ' The flames ' soon com municated with the Wasco ; opera house and the residence occupied by James Venable and then other small buildings. " The Oregon Trading company was the largest general merchandise house m Sherman county and. is a total loss. Mr. George Cro6field was severely burned in attempting to save some valuable papers. The wind, which was high, chang ed into the east, which was all that saved the Wasco warehouse and milling company, the band and another large warehouee, situated across the street from the Oregon trading company store. ev , Even under the change to the favorable it was a hard fight to save them with the meagre apparatus at band. Had the wind continued from any other direction the ' loss would have reached several hun dred thousand dollars. New York, Nov. 17. The funer al of Philanthropist - Green was held today. After the services at the Presbyterian" church . the body Was forwarded on a funeral train to Worcester, Mass., where it will be interred. An immenee cortege of hundreds of prominent people were present at the i funeral, including Mayor Low and a delegation from all the departments of the municip al government. ' :'' Denver, Nov. 18. Rev. Felix M. Le pore, pastor of the Mount Car mel Catholic church, and another Italian named JoejSorici were fatal ly wounded tonight in a duel which was the result of a card game they were playing in the priest's apart ments in the church: building. Father Lepore was shot twice in the abdomen and once in the face, and Sorici was shot once in the ab domen. There seems to have been no eyewitnesses to the affair, and all those who were near the scene are very reticent. Both - men were taken to St. Joseph's hospital, where it is said they cannot recover. :" Reno, Nevr,' Nov," 18. Lying half covered Jp' with brush in an irriga fe&n . ditch a;ehort ? distance below the town, was found at noon today by, Italian laborers the body of a man in an. advanced stage of - de composition. His feet and hands were, tied together with a heavy rope, his skull appeared to have been crushed, as if with a rock. His body was not recognizable, and nothing about the clothes revealed his identity. y V' From . appearances the murder was committed a month ago. The officers are entirely at sea with re gard to the crime. Redd ing, Cal., Nov. 17. The war between the sheep and the cat tlemen of Modoc county has passed out of the talking stage, and e hoot ing is now being done from am bush.!' -----: :..r; .. . ! John Robinson last week lost 100 sheep from his band ranging at Cougar neck, the shots -being from men in hiding.' ; A shepherd dog was shot almost at his feet, showing that the man op the firing line were not oyer particular as to human life. Robinson has no idea who the guil ty parties .are and is almost in de-. spair that the authorities will be a ble to do anything in the matter. V Lynching of the culprits and law breakers is openlv talked of and the terrible lvncbing bee that dis graced Lookout and Modoc counties three 5 ears ago may be reproduced. Even the newspapers speak with approval of the people taking the administration of the law into their own hands.. . r: . The Alturas Plaindealer, pointing to the fact that in six years no one has been convicted of crime in the county, concludes with these words: "Three years ago. we ascribed the Lookout lynching to the maladmin istration of justicein Modoc county. livery word we uttered . then , was true, and if we are to escape similar outbursts in the future, justice must be tneeted out to criminal?, no mat ter who or what tbey are, .

Curtin and Five Seamen 'Overcome in Heroic Fight to Prevent Explosion in Midst of Torpedo Flotilla at Norfolk. Norfolk, Va., Nov. 15. The he roism of Lieutenant Curtin and sev eral seamen on board the : torpedo boat Destroyer Lawrence today saved that- craft from destruction. A light candle left by a workman on a wooden box in the vessel's for ward compartment caused a fire which burned much of the Law rence's woodwork before it was ex tinguished by : Lieut. Curtin and and some seamen, just before the flames reached the magazine, in which a large quantity of explosives were stored. " In their "battle against the flames Lieut. Curtin and five seamen were so overcome by the smoke that they lost consciousness after the fight was won, . and were hurried on board the cruiser Olympia for treat ment. The fire occurred in a stuffy com partment directly adjoining the magazine and had gained consider able headway when it was discov ered. The place was filled with a derjBe smoke that baffled the efforts of the crew and caused them to fall helpless to the steel floor. Time and again Lieut Curtin dived into the fire chamber and e merged with the unconscious form 01 a searran in his grasp. , Alter a hurried resuscitation the seaman and his officer would return to the fight only to again succumb to the smoke, ' Fnally the names were extin guished, and then the lieutenant was missed; A tailor plunged into toe compartment, and a second la ter came put with the limp hody of the olhcer in his arms. Five seamen in a similar condi tion were stretched out on the deck. All were hurried on. board of the Olympia in dry-dock, and the sur geons soon brought them to con sciousness. The damage to the Lawrence was trifling. ; ' Ihe Lawrence is a steel craft with a displacement of 470 tons, r She is 246 feet and 3 inches long over all, and her locomotive force is 8,400 horse, power. She was launched November 7, 1900," at Weymouth, Mass., being christened, by Mies Rulh Lawrence, ef New York, daughter of Supreme Court Judge Lawrence, and a descendent of Cap tain James Lawrence, for whom the boat is named. The 'Don't Give Up the Ship" of Captain Lawrence is historic- ' . ;; , The Lawrence accommodates a crew oi tour ' omcers and by men. Her speed is about 30 knots. "Certainly," proclaimed John D, Daly last night, "I am a member of the state senate; certainly. Why not?" Mr. Daly last year was re-elected to the senate from iseoton county and eooo after that body adjourned last winter was appointed .surveyor-general of Oregon. "And," went on Mr. Daly, "I'll occupy my seat in the legislature unless the senate throws me out. - "Have I resigned from the senate? No. .Nor will I resign before the extra session. I wish to save Brn ton county the expense of a special election. Besides, in the hatte and jumble of a special election tome body might be chosen who ain't fit for the place.- And he'd hold over to the next regular session." "But this isn't for . publication; understand?" . "Not even for the people of Bin ton county?", was asked, -r "Go ahead. Print all you like; I don't care." ' "Why can't 1 retain my seat lrf the legislature when Senator Mulkey has been drawing down $1600 or $2000 a year as president of the State Normal at Ashland? And mine's only a 10-cent job, too." . Just then State Senator Booth, of Lane, hove in sight, , After a brief interchane of "good evenings," and .''howare-yous," Senator Da ly launched forth on his discourse again. But," questioned Senator Booth, "will you sit also in the next regu lar session in 1905?" v , ,(Oh no," protested Mr.Daly, "oh no, indeed. By that time my sue ceesor will be eleoted without extrft .. expense to the people of Benton. .1 "And if you should be caafr out" ; , ' -' "Well, Benton wouldn't havela. bear the cost of a special election. Besides, Benton's representation its. the House would be sufficient fo the . short session. My county's inter ests are common with those of the whole state in this tax matter." Mr. Daly regarded an extra ses slon as supremely necessary. "Be cause, otherwise, taxpayers would -be sorely distressed next year witX two tax payments." f "And," added Mr. Daly, there' pretty good indication that money's going to be tight next year anyhow. Isn't that so, Senator Baoth?" "Our part of the statr," respond ed Mr. Booth, "coull probably get along, No, I don't regard an extra session as absolutely-'" necessary; however, it is probably advisable. - For Sale.
