That tho mob spirit la not entirely subdued In Springfield was evidenced last night and early today when de spite tho presence of thousands of militiamen, sporadic outbursts of law lessness occurred In many sections of the city. None were serious, how ever. Tho center of trouble is Har vard Park, a suburb, whero twice during, tho night tho patrols were fired upon from ambush. Many have been arrested. Tom Richardson, a brother of the negro accused of assaulting Mrs. Earl Hallam was driven from his delivery wagon but escaped to tho station and took a train for Missis sippi. Two other brothers said to ho former inmates of an asylum, have been locked up as n precaution. Gov. Deneen has offered a re ward of $200 for evidence leading conviction In cases of violent deaths.

There was firing on tho sentries and return firing less than two blocks from tho heaquarters of General Young at tho county jail. The trouble followed an attempt to set fire to a building Eighth street, near Jefferson and Madison streets. A negro who had been ordered away from tho place several times during tho night, was discovered lurking there, and In re ply to the centry's command to move on, the negro drew a revolver, fired and ran away. Several shots wero fired at him and brought additional troops who searched for the fugitive without success. The shooting oc curred shortly before daylight and was the third attempt to assassinate sentries made during the night. SHOOTS SISTE! Wm.

THE DAILY HOMESTEADS ITER Fill Mr tfirlrlar nf Dnoolinpfi Thmle He Made Rich Discovery But Local Men Say Otherwise. According to a telephone message from Roseburg, a Mr. Kidder who is identified with a Douglas county ab stract office, has filed in the gov- ' eminent land ofllce at Roseburg, a homestead entry on a valuable piece j of property with water front just across from the C. A. Smith mill. Mr. Kidder, as near as could be learn ed, claims that tho land in question 1 has never been taken up by private parties and is still held by tho gov ernment although various parties havi been occupying it under the be lief that they have titles to it. The description of the land Is said to be lots 2 and 3, section 36. While details of the filing on the land could not be obtained today, the Intimation that some one was claim ing it as a homestead caused quite a furore. The tract is very valuable. Lot 3 is shown on old blue prints as belonging to the Dean Lumber Company and is supposed to have passed from them to tho C. A. Smith Lumber Company. Lot 2 is shown as belonging to tho Title Guaranteo and Abstract Company. Henry Sengstackeu said this morn ing that Mr. Kidder must bo labor ing under a delusion a3 ho was sure that the title of the Title Guarantee and Abstract Company and the Dean Lumber Company to the property in question is perfect. He said that in addition to owning lot 2 in section 30, lils company had the coal rights to lot 3. W. U. Douglas said there must be some mistake as under an old gov ernment grant, sections 13 and 3G were ceded to the state and as state land were not .open to homestead. An effort is being made today to secure more details of Kidder's claim to the water front property as home stead. Printer Who Came to Coos Bay Recently, Mysteriously Disappears.
