Men Combat Landslide on Southern
Pacific in Nevada.
Killing o f Japanese Traitor Caught in
Pekin the Cause.
Reno, N ev., Aug. 18.— f o r the past
three days scores o f section men in the
employ o f the- Southern Pacific com
pany on the Palisade division in Ne
vada have been at work trying to pre
vent the caving o f the big tunnel o f
that company near Palisade. The tun
nel is 300 fe et or more in length and
cost more than $150,000 to complete.
Last year the Western Pacific started
a tunnel 50 fe e t to the south o f the
Southern Pacific. This was recently
completed, and now it is known that
the blasting has practically shaken the
entire mountain, which is now slowly
sliding into the Humboldt river,. Big
timbers in the Southern Pacific tunnel
are being slowly crushed like so much
matchwood, and unless a means o f
combatting the slide is determined
upon it may necessitate the company
abandoning the tunnel.
A thousand nien and twice as many
horses and mules were placed at work
along the Western Pacific railroad in
this state yesterday, and from now on
the line w ill be rushed to completion.
For neffrly a year operations have been
practically at a standstill in this state.
The grade has been completed from
Salt Lake to a point near Elko, while
from this end the grading has reached
a comparatively short distance. Work
westward w ill continue now until com
pleted. Trains w ill probably be run
ning into Winnemucca early this fall.
Pekin, Aug. 14.— The killing in this
city early this month o f a Japanese
army officer, supposed to be a spy
and traitor, by Japanese soldiers at
tached to the Pekin legation, w ill re
sult in the presentation by China o f a
I formal protest against the doing o f
' police duty by legation guards outside
o f the legation precincts.
The officer in question was Captain
Kyhwata. He was in fhe artillery
branch o f the Kiroshima division and
he was formerly an instructor in the
Chinese m ilitary college at Pao T in g
Fu. He was charged with selling Jap
anese m ilitary secrets to a foreign
power and disappeared from Japan in
June.
On August 1 he was discovered dis
guised as a Chinaman, hiding near the
war office in Pekin. This knowledge
was communicated to the legation
guards and a detachment was sent to
capture him.
He resisted arrest,
whereupon the guard shot and wounded
the spy and he died two days later in
the hospital o f the legation guard.
M. Abe, the Japanese charge d ’ a f
faires, has urged lack o f time and the
importance o f the prisoner in extenua
tion o f the action of the guard in not
notifying the Chinese authorities be
fore arresting the captain. He ex
plains further that the resistance o f
the prisoner was unforeseen and that
his consequent shooting could not be
avoided.
The Chinese government is not sat
isfied with this explanation, and thinks
its authority has been ignored. The
incident has created a good deal of
feelin g on both sides.

County Promised Immense Eastern Capitalists Will Do This if

C rop This Season.
Roseburg— Tillson & Co. have pur
chased a fine equipment for their large
prune packing plant in this city, and
have begun work to enlarge and re-
| model the plant to handle Douglas
county’ s large prune crop this year.
A new 30 horsepower boiler is now be
ing placed fo r the steam plant, and
several new pieces o f machinery for
grading and packing w ill be installed.
Nearly 200 cars o f evaporated prunes
will be shipped out o f the county from
various points, a large portion of
which w ill be handled by local firms.
In addition to the new machinery the
building w ill be enlarged to almost
twice its present size.
H. L. Giles & Co., o f Salem, have
purchased the Douglas County prune
packing house o f R eceiver T. R. Sheri
dan, and w ill thoroughly overhaul and
make additions to the equipment.
These two large packing houses are
kept running for from three to four
months every fall. Besides these two
plants, there is another packing house
at M yrtle Creek that handles from 20
to 50 carloads every season. There
w ill also be about 30 carloads o f ap
ples shipped from Douglas county this
year.
The Douglas County Fruit
growers’ association w iii handle about
half o f this crop o f apples.
Salem— The County Commissioners’
court at their last meeting heard the
petition o f Mining Engineer Gadsden,
representing Eastern capitalists, for
the appropriation o f $2,000 for the
building o f five bridges across the San-
tiam river, to make the Gold Creek
copper mines accessible. In return for
this investment, Mr. Gadsden guaran
tees the erection o f a smelter with a
capacity o f 100 tons per day.
I t is expected that the opening up of
these mines and the building o f the
smelter w ill result in the location o f a
refinery in this city. The Gold Creek
mines are located on the head waters
o f the Santiam in the extreme Eastern
part o f Marion county.
A number o f leading citizens appear
ed before the court and argued in favor
o f the $2,000 appropriation.

Whole N egro Quarter o f Springfield
Burning and Firemen Kept
Away From Fire*.
Springfield, 111., Aug. 15.— Spring-
field is in the hands o f a mob o f en
raged citizens who began last night
to wreak vengeance on negro residents
for an assault committed yesterday by
George Richardson, a negro, on Mrs.
Earl Hallam, a white woman. A t 1
o’clock this morning the whole east
end o f town burst into flames, the
torch having been applied to several
negro houses by some o f the more des
perate mob members.
A mob o f white men at 2:45 o’clock
this morning lynched a negro who was
supposed to be sneaking under cars on
the Illinois Central tracks and shooting
at the whites.
The Decatur company o f the Illinois
National guard arrived at 2 :30 o ’clock
this morning and went to the “ bad
lands,” where 20 huts occupied by
negroes have been burned and where
the fire is still raging.
T w o men are already dead and prob
ably two score others are injured,
mostly negroes. The rabble is sweep
ing through the streets attacking every
negro met. A ll the local m ilitia are
on duty, and half a dozen companies
from other cities are rushing here on
special trains.
Still other companies
are ordered to hold themselves in re
serve. The fire department is help
less to combat the fire in the negro
quarter on account o f the threatening
attitude o f the mob toward the fire
men.
Eugene Chafin, Prohibition candi
date for president, in protecting a ne
gro from death, was struck on the
head with a brick and put out o f com
mission temporarily.
The negro he
saved drew a knife and badly cut seve-
valr men in the fight.
Richardson and another negro want
ed for murder were stealthily taken
from Springfield jail last evening and
rushed to Bloomington, whence they
were later taken to Peoria.
It is
thought that with the arrival o f the
out o f town troops the streets w ill be
cleared and order restored.
Negroes in two instances have turn
ed with considerable effect upon their
assailants. In one mixup a trooper at
tempted to separate the combatants
and was nearly overwhelmed by. those
in pursuit o f several negroes.
Most o f the members o f Troop B, o f
Taylorville, are on guard around the
jail. The rioters who had gathered in
front o f the jail after the-incarcera
tion o f Richardson were enraged by
the ruse practiced by the sheriff in
removing him.
Finding that the negroes were gone,
the mob amused iLself for a time by
looting negro resorts in East Washing
ton street.
The amusement o f the
rioters was tragedy fo r the negroes,
many o f whom were roughly handled
and beaten with pieces o f their own
furniture.
A white man and his son, whose
names were not ascertained by the po
lice, were shot, supposedly by negroes.
This encounter further enraged the
members o f the mob and they began a
general search for negroes wherever
they could be found.

W ith the wind blowing a gale and

Sand Point. A t 6 o’ clock last evening
a small forest fire north o f Kootenai
was blown into the town and the town
o f 300 inhabitants was burned to the
ground.
The Humbird Lumber company has a
$200,000 mill at Kootenai, which burn
ed to the ground, and which was only
partly insured. A t present the fire is
within 2,000 fe et o f the Panhandle
smelter, which seems doomed.
The homeless people o f the little
hamlet o f Kootenai have been brought
here, and are being cared for by citi
zens. A ll o f them lost their belong
ings.
Over 500 volunteers are fighting the
approach o f the flames.
Sand Point
has a population o f about 10,000.
An
appeal has just been sent to the Spo
kane fire department for aid.
I t was impossible at midnight to
learn the extent o f the damage by fire
at Sand Point.
The telegraph wires
are down and connection is lost with
the regular telephone line, but the
operator o f the Independent Telehpone
office at Sand Point, states that Sand
Point is in no immeditae danger. The
town of Kootenai was burned, but the
big mill o f the Humbird company was
saved.
Reports are conflicting regarding the
smelter at Ponderay, near Sand Point,
one report declaring that it was burned
while the other states that the forest
fire was near but the »melter was still
safe.
