Semi-WeeHly Herold. aoiai- — b' c‘" * • Si, St. * TU 8 DAY, JAN. 24, 1906. Leo County Pioneer Oregon. -— Living in Goorgo Williams, Mayor of Port land, Oregon, who is occupying t prominent place in the public atten- tion, is a former Iowaa haviug served ns district judge of Lee county and Des Moiues county and laiing appointed to carry the Iowa vote to Washington in 1852. Short ly afterward he was appointed, by President Pierce, chief justice of Oregon. Subsequently President Giant appointed bim atlorney-gen- eral in his cabinet. Williams form erly resided in Burlington and Keo kuk and is woll known to the old timers of South-Eastern Iowa. A correspondent of the Keokuk Con stitution-Democrat tells of his ar rival in Iowa: George H. Williams came to Bur lington, Iowa, in the late '40s, with out money or friends. He was un couth, awkward, badly clad, was tall, ovorgrown, had a long, cadaverous under jaw, broad forehead, long hair brushed hack aud was slightly stooped shouldered, but had plenty of energy, ambition, pluck and self- reliance and a good education. He applied to the Hon. Judge Mason, of Burlington, who was a kind- hearted man and who saw that there was something in the awkward young man and took him in and as sisted him in many ways. Judge Mason was one of tbo most influen tial citizens, politically, financially, and in other ways, in the several counties composing the firet con gressional district of Iowa, and through the influence of Judge Ma son he was takon into the office of the Hon. D. F. Miller, then a lead ing attorney in Fort Madison, who shortly afterward took Williams into partnership and soon after ward, through the influence of Judgo Mason aud Miller’s help, ho secured tho nomination of the dem ocratic party as judge of the first judicial district, which then includ ed Burlington, aud he was trium phantly elected. -D es Moines lleg- ister aud Lender Buiu Plain RuDoery in P ortlan d Petersburg, P etersb u rg . . Jan. 23. -T h e great strike of woikingmeu which has been in progress for many «lays in this city, in common with other parts of the empire, culmiuate<i yes terday into one of the bloodiest scenes ever enacted in the history of liussiu. Following out their prev IUUB1J u m u l t u inteution, the „________ iously declared strik- erH n8Hcnibled at one of the entrances to the palace grounds with a peti tion which they desired to present to the Emporer in person. The officers, acting under orders, refused the give the strikers permission to proceed further. Then the trouble commenced. Led by Father Gopon, a prieBt, the red flag hoisted from their disorderly ranks and crying “ Down with Monarch” the enraged strikers assaulted tho soldiers. As sudden as the attack of the strikers was tho resistance which they met, showing how well the government had prepared for the riot. The carnage that followed beggar i de- cription and today the streets o f St Petersburg are strewn with the mangled bodies of persons of both sexes and all ages. Father Gopon was spared by the soldiers, but they bar his passage to the Czar, who has taken refuge in Peterhoff castle. The Admiralty works at Sevastn- pol are on fire and burning furious ly. The government has decided on the most stringent measures to chock the uprising. Schools are closed and the water supply cut off. S t Petersburg is full of the wildest rumois. One is that the strikers, fifty thousand strong, will march against tho Winter Palace and that the troops will be repelled with bombs. The municipal building was demolished by strikers. - - - « ■>* ------------- Czar is Prostrated St. Petersburg, Jan. 23.— Em peror Nicholas is completely pros trated with grief. He is reported to be almost in a state of collapse over the situation. In ths mean time everything awaits his decision. Every window in in Grand ¡Duke Sergius’ St. Petersburg palace was broken by a mob during the night. The estimates of the number of dead and wounded yesterday con tinue to vary greatly, as at least a majority of the killed and wounded were carried off by their comrades. Few of those taken to the hospitals have been reported. The official report of the rioting by no means indicates the total of killed and wounded. From careful investigation it ap pears that the estimate of 500 cabled last night seems liberal.
