Government Succor Is Given
Levees
Giving Way
Jand.
at Dayis Is-
Memphis, April 13. The mighty
sweep of the waters, south of Vicks
burg, has at last had its effect upon
the lower levees, and a tele
gram from Tallalah, La., reports that
the levce,wliich protects Dayis island,
has given way and that the island
will, In all probability be flooded.
Twenty-five hundred people inhabit
Davis, island, which consists of about
a thousand acres of land. The place Is
situated in Warren county, Miss,
Trougliout the Upper delta the flood
situation owj little change since
last reports. The work of government
relief has been actively inagurated.
Many people are being fed and housed
at Greeville, Itosedale, Helena, Friars
Point, and other points along the
river. The relief steamer is now dy
ing up the St Francis river with food
and forage for man and beast.
At Helena the river has fallen two
tenths of a foot in the past two hours.
The weather observer at that
point says that a steady fall will be
noted in the river, despite the rise at
Cairo and up-river points. The Wil
liamson creyasse has widened consid
erably, but the velocity of the water
has abated and no further breaks are
feared. At Greenville the river Is sta
tionary. Secretary Algers sent the following
telegraphic order through Adjutant
General Ruggles to Captain Davis,
commissary officer at Memphis, with
instrnctions to forward the same
order to all olllcers now distributing
ratiens:
The secretary of war directs you to
use every possible ctforbto- prevent
people, who arc receiving aid from
the government from gathering in
the cities, for, as soon' as the water
subsides, their services will doubtless
be required to moye upon the levees
and till the fields, and besides it
would be a great expense to trans
port them back to their former
homes, when needed, even if they
should desire to do so.

Arthur Chappclle, of Dayton Wash.,
where he has a wife and children.
He was wanted for burglary. After
shooting McPhee he ran through the
city several blocks and concealed him
Belf in an outhouse. lie was pursued
by Deputy Sheriff Ferguson and a
crowd of angry citizens.
As the depnty pulled the door open
a shot was tired inside and, the officer
thinking he was being fired upon1
shot at the man inside. Chappelle
fell to the floor and was dead In a
moment. It was then seen that he
had shot himself through the head.

ment a success.

Bull Fight in Arizona.
Yuma, Ariz.. April 13 -La Gran
Fiesta de Yuma wound up with Wild
West sports and Spanish bullfights
which constituted a crowning feature
of five days' reyelry. The. feature of
the show which drew the crowds was
Spanish bullfights, headed by the re
nowned fighter, Captain Carlos Gar
ca from Juarez, Mexico.
Captain Garcia and 'his troop of
toreadors and picadors, including La
Carlota, a female bullfighter, dis
played wonderful skill In fighting the
fierce animals, but a magnificent bull
proyed himself invincible, and before
lie was dispatched in the third light
in which he was used, he caught Cap
tain Garcia and ripped open his jaw.
His wound may prove fatal.
After goring and badly mutilating
Garcia, the bull, stung to frenzy by
the torments of'toreadorsand picadors
charged full nt the bull pen, and
though it was strongly bnllt, after
several desperate attempts, lie
smashed a panel of the pen and
charged into the grounds which were
filled with people. Many were injured.
The roulette table, stacked with gold
and silver coins, was tossed high in
the air and the money scattered in the
dust. Stralirht through the main
Btreet of Yuma went the bull, but
fortunately no more .people were In
the way. After a long chase and hard
work the bull was captured.

"btoclc Ticker" Case.
Washington', April 13.. .The United
States supreme court has denied a
writ of certiorari in the case of tho
American Bell Tclophonc company
vcrsns the Western Union Telegraph
company, appealed from tho circuit
ourt of appeals for the first circuit to
the supreme court.
The case involves the question of
royalties claimed from tho Bell Tele
phone company and the Western
Union company, and was originally
brought in the circuit court for the
district of Massachusetts to secure an
account of these royalties. It Is un
derstood that about $5,000,000 is In
volved. It appears that after Instituting tlio
suit the Western Union sought to
have it dismissed, and after it was
dismissed the Bell company appealed
to the circuit court of appeals, when
the decision of the circuit court was
reversed. Tho Western Union com
pany sought to hayo tho case reviewed
by the supremo court, but tho opinion
rendered denies this petition. This
ha? the effect of taking the case buck
to the circuit court for further pro
ceedings in accordance with tlio de
cision of the circuit court of appeals,
Th. case is known as the "Stock
Ticker" case.

Fishing Situation at Astoria.
Astoria, Or., April 13. Tho fishr
ing situation is assuming a gloomy
aspect, and rumors of another btrlko
are rife. The men are more positive
than at any other tlmo that they
must receive 4i cents. Tho fish
caught last night were nearly all of
fered for Balo to tho Hew York firm
and tho Prescott Packing Company,
both of which pay tho union price.
Tho .'Now York agent was offered
more flsh than could bo handled.
At the several canneries not
enough fish was offered to justify
operations, and none of tho packing
houses were operated. About SCO
boats went out last night, and the
catches were fair for this timo of tho
year, Tho boats averaged ten salmon.
Those who sold fish to tho canneries
did so in a sort of secret manner, ex
ccptlng a few non-union men.
It can now bo definitely stated that
unless itho canners glvo in, a strike
will ensue. In yiow of tho fact that
they have asserted again and again
that but 4 cents will bo paid, a repeti
tion of last year's trouble Is likely to
occur.
