(Special Long Distance Telephone to Tho Times.) SPRINGFIELD, HI., Aug. 15. One of tho worst race riots that has ever occurred In the middle west was checked here early this morning hy the Illinois militia firing on a mob that was destroying property In the negro section, killing five and wounding a dozen or more. Tho riot started late yesterday as a re sult of a negro named George Ri chardson assaulting a white woman, Mrs. Mable Hallam. Soon after the assault became known, a mob was organized to lynch Richardson who was caught soon after the assault. Jii3t as the mob was moving onto the jail, A. P. Loper, a well-known restaurant man came to the aid of the sheriff with his auto and they spirited the pri soner away. This angered the mob so much that they marched to Loper's res taurant and completely wrecked the place. During the night, thirty-five buildings in the negro section of the city were razed or burned. The ne groes fled ,In terror but many were caught and badly beaten by the mob which was ready to attempt anything to revengo the assault. During tho night, one negro was lynched and his body riddled with bullets. Two white men were fatally wounded In clashes with negroes. U. P. Chapin, the prohibition can didate for president, attempted' to protect a negro and was hit on tho head with a brick and severely hurt. The negro stabbed several later. While It has been quiet during tho day, more troops are being rushed here as It Is feared there will be an other outbreak.

Pas sengers of tho Coos Bay boat ran out on deck to watch the fight be tween the occupants of the launch and their big prisoner, which they were trying to free, but did not know how to go about It. With the net dangling from It, tho whalo would spout great streams of water Into the ,alr and then settle down to the task of chasing about with tho boat. It is said tho mon ster covered at least 10 miles an hour. In Its frenzy It appeared to travel in a circle. It always took time to blow, and at such intervals a good view of tho monster could be had. The whale was about 80 feet long. Whether It eventually went aground or the fishermen released it by severing tho end of tho net at tached to the boat Is not known hy tho ofllcers of the Alliance. But it Is presumed that they cut tho whale looso, as that was what they were ap parently attempting to do. On one, of tho circuits tho whale and its tow got within 200 yards of-tho Alliance. Some o'f tho passengers advised thoso In tho launch to cut tho seine and turn tho big fellow adrift, but by following this coursa the f."her- KIW CASE NVQLVES Uff Will Come Up at Adjourned Session of September Term of Court at Coquille.

( Owing to tho Western Union Tele graph Company's wires being down somewhere between Marshflold and Roseburg all day, The Times experi enced much difficulty In securing telegraph news for Its readers this evening. Late this afternoon, a number of stories were secure.d by long distance phone through the courtesy of the Roseburg Review. Manager Schetter doesn't know just where the trouble is or what was the cause of it. Ho said that he had been hoping all day that It would be repaired soon. He thought that probably workmen on the Dou glas road had accidentally felled a tree over the wire. Tho telegraph line between Rose burg arid Marshfield is very cheaply and poorly constructed of a poor quality of wlro and It Is a wonder that it stays up as well as it does. The Postal Telegraph Company has been figuring on extending lines into this country and they would find a warm welcome If they should come to Coos Bay. AID BANDON PROJECT. BANDON, Ore., Aug. 15.
