ifir VOL. XI THE DALLES, OREGON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1898 NO 152 A FACTIONAL STRIFE LEADS TO BLOODSHED A Deadly Fight at Colorado ' Springs. ONE KILLED--0M WOUNDED Teller Men Had Possession of an Opera House Which Was Stormed by the Wolcott Gang, Reinforced by the Peace Officers. Colobado Springs, Sept. 7. Early this morning a riot occurred in the Colo rado Springs opera house between twen two men representing State Chairman Blood and theTeller faction of theSilyer Republican party, and Sheriff Boynton and Chief of Police Gastright, with about seventy-five men representing the V0lc0tt-Steven9 faction. Charles Harris, of Denver, was killed, being ehot through the bowels. An un known man was seriously injured. The opera house is now in possession of the police, deputy sheriffs aud sup porters of ex-Chairman Broad. Further Particulars. Colorado Springs, Sept. 7. Particu lars of this morning's deadly fight in the Colorado Springs opera house are as follows : The clash between the two factions grew out of the action of National Chair man Lownew in removing Richard Broad from the chairmanship of the etate committee on the ground of dis loyalty to the Silver Republican party and the cause it stands for, it being alleged he had joined in a conspiracy with friends of Senator Wolcott to defeat the proposed fusion with the Democrats and Populists. At 1 o'clock this morning the Wolcott Stevens faction applied to Judge Lunt for a writ of mandamus compelling Chairman Blood, who was then in pos session of the opera house, to turn the building over to ex-Chairman Broad. The writ was refused. "At 4:10 this morning," said ex Mayor Plumb, "twenty-one of us were in the opera house. Suddenly a fusil lade of shots were fired through both the front and side doors. Then in a second the doors were burst open and in rushed seventy-five to one hundred men. There was constant firing in all parts of the hall, we replying as best we conld. I saw one man tall. They carried him to the balcony and laid him down. He died in a few minutes. Another man was injured. We were forced out of the building. Sheriff Boynton and Chief of Police Gastright were in the foremost rank." The police and sheriff's officers claim the attack was made entirely by men brought by the Wolcott-Stevens faction from Denver. They say they only rushed in after the attack began. The attack was made upon the building from front and rear. Sheriff Boynton and Chief Gastright took control of the opera house and made a thorough search. The sheriff said they discovered a whole arsenal in the build ing. The officers seized six Winches ters and ten revolvers. James A. Howse, Walter Russell, J. X. Lang and A. C. Smith were arrested. Sheriff Boynton allowed the men who participated in the riot to leave the city this morning without being molested. A majority of the mob which attacked the theater went to Denver by the first train. , After battering in the doors, seventy five men rushed into the building, shooting their revolvers. The ceiling is full of holes. The attacking party fired into the air in the hope of frightening guards into admission. The guards were scattered in groups about the audi torium, where they could best command the entrance, and they returned the fire. Those who participated ia the riot say that over one hundred anl fifty shots were fired within a few m n tes. The attacking party finally re: v. i the cen ter of the house and the t u ris fled to the street. The latter had -i- one round of ammunition, while :ne attackers trebled them in number?, and had two revolvers each and an abundance of am munition. Chairman Blood has issued a state ment in which he says that after the' county Silver Republican conyenttion closed last night he was in possession of the keys ot the opera house, and, learn ing of a proposed atteoip to oust his fac tion, he placed guards therein. He claims there was no authority of law issued to the opposing faction, and that ex-Chairman Broad imported thugs from Denyer to create a disturbance. Ex-Chairman Broad has issued a counter statement, claiming the riot was caused by the incendiary epeeches of the Teller Republicans at last night's coun ty convention. He says the manager oi the opera house violated his contract with him in delivering the keys to Blood. It is said the man injured was John Russell, ex-Chief of Police of Denver, now special timber inspector under the McKinley administration. Walter Rus sell, J. W. Lupton, J. L3ng,A.C. Smith,, and A. F. Monge, are charged with the murder of Harris. Information has been filed in the district court against them. MORE OFFICERS ARE IMPLICATED French Cabinet Decides to Receive the Dreyfus Case.

Oregon City, Sept. 7. West Oregon City had a narrow escape from destruc tion by fire yesterday afternoon and last night. The fire started among the dry brush and logs on the hillside, and it required the strenuous efforts of all the employees of the paper mills to keep it from spreading to the residences on that side of the river. The fire is now under control. Low-Price baking powders are not only unwholesome, but extrava gant.

Washington, Sept. 7. It is the de sire of the navy department that all vessels that won fame in tue late war with Spain shall be kept by the govern ment. The board appointed to consider what disposition should be made of the auxiliary ships bought or chartered dur the war is now at work, and had already recommended the selling of a number of vessels. All of the auxiliary coast defense fleet has now disappeared, dis position having been made of the vessels and officers and men having been dis charged. But there are a number of boats, like the Gloucester, which, though bought for temporary service and for service that was not supposed to be warlike, have made a lasting impression and will remain forever as glorious names in the annals of the American nayy. The de partment thinks it would be a great misfortune if these ships should be sold. The Gloucester has become already as much a part of the glory of the navy of this country as the Constitution or the Oregon or theOlimpia. Other ves sels in equal or less degree have won fame in the recent war. It would be a distinct loss to the navy to have these go back to their old role as pleasure yachts or traffic carriers. It was said at the department today that if the board should decide it best co dispose of the ships, the list of them w ill be turned oyer to other branches of the department, such as the revenue or light house service, to see. if they could not be purchased for use along tne coast and thus be kept within the country's service. It is hoped by the department, however, thai this will not be made necessary, as it is very anxious to have the Gloucester and peers re tained in the navv itself. QUIET RESTORED ATCANEA.

KILLED ON THE FIELD Official Record Shows That 264 Of ficers and Men Fell on the Battle-Fields and Warships During the War With Spain. Washington, Sept. 7. The official record of the war department, as com pleted, shows that there were 33 officers and 231 enlisted men of the army, 261 in all, killed in battle during the war with Spain. These causualties include all the lives lost by the army in the battles in the Philippines as well as those in Cuba and Porto Rico. The percentage of officers killed is strikingly lagre, and ia said to be un precedented in the battles of the world. The contrast is especially striking in the case of the battle of Omdarman, where, although the loss of life was heavy, the list of killed included only one officer of the British armv. lieats tne KlondlKe- Mr. A. C. Thomas, of Marysville.Tex., has found a more valuable discovery than has yet been made in the Klondike. For years he suffered untold agony from consumption, accompained by bemmor rhages ; and was absolutely cured by Dr. King's New Discovery for Consump tion, Coughs and Colds. He declares that gold is of little value in comparison with this marvelous cure; would have it, even if it cost a hundred dollars a bottle.
