STRIKERS STARVING.

Special Telegram to The Statesman.
PALESTINE, April 10.-The latest devel-
opment in the strike is indicative that
some of those out of employment are in
distressed circumstances. Farmers from
different sections of the country report
that committees of strikers have been
among them soliciting aid, taking money
or provisions. Several of the younger
men belonging to the striking element,
whom the company refused to take back,
have left the town, and it is believed there
will soon be an exodus of many others.

Special Telegram to the Statesman.
PARIS, Tex, APRIL 10.-Yesterday morn
ing, about o'clock, Deputy Sheriffs Booth
and Grant came into the city with j. H.
Turner, a deputy sheriff, from Miller's
neighborhood, charged with outraging the
person of Mrs Anderson, widow lady,
who lives in the same neighborhood. The
following is the story: Turner was acting
as deputy sheriff, and a few days ago he
went to the home of Mrs. Anderson and
told her he had a warrant for her arrest
He did not state what it was for, but told
her if she would submit to him he would not
take her, but if she did not he would take
her to jail. This frightened the woman,
but she said she would go to jail first. See
ing he could not scare her into it that way
he told her she had to submit to him or
he would kill her, at the same time draw
ing his pistol and hourishing it at her.
This so overcame the woman that she did
not have strength to resist any longer, and
when Turner had gratifed his desires he
left. Turner now plays behind the bars.
He is about 30 or 30 years old, and has a
wife and two babies. Mrs. Anderson is
about 40 or 80 years of age.

Special Telegram to the Statesman,
Following is briefly the history of what
has been one of the most fearful riots
known to the people of Laredo:
The city campaign was holly contested,
the interest centering chiefly in the con
test for city marshal. The two parties in
the contest were LAS Botas," comprising
republicans, and the Guaraches, chiefly
republicans. The Las Botas candidate
for marshal was Higinia Garcia, an old
Mexican citizen, who formerly held the
office. His opponent on the Guarache
side was Stephen Boyard, Louisianian,
who had also formerly held the office, but
who had been removed from it for alleged
malfeasance in office. He and his Oppo-
nent, Garcia, are both plucky and deter
mined men, and with following of adj
herents and partisans with equal nerve
and determination with themselves
The election was close and distinguished
alike for great rancor of feeling and the
vast quantities of whisky consumed on
both sides-by Las Botas and the Guara-
ches as well. Each side charged the
other with fraud.
On the day after the election the Las
Botas put up placards all over town an
nouncing that at 3 q. m. the funeral pro-
cession of the Guaraches would appear on
the streets. All the Botas and their
friends were invited to attend. Of course
this enraged the Guaraches. The latter,
in fact, got very mad, and angry passions
rose in proportion to the bad whisky they
consumed. The Guaraches held a meet
ing and sent word to the Botas that no
funeral procession would be permitted,
and if they (the Botas) persisted in
the joke they would probably
have occasion for some real coffins
and visiting the grave yard in real ear
nest.
But the procession did appear at the
hour appointed. True to their word the
Guaraches were duly on hand and soon the
crack of six-shooters and Winchesters re-
sounded through the streets, and imme- |
diately the whole town was thrown into |
frenzy of excitement. Hundreds rushed
to the scene. Everybody seemed drunk or
crazy. The stores were closed. and every
house, for the time being converted into
forts and miniature arsenals. 1t was
like a small battle. Bull
lets whiStled from all directions,
from windows aud from behind street cor
ners. Men shouted, women screamed and
a regular pandemonium reigned. When
the battle was over, six men lay dead on
the street, and number were wounded.
The fight was terminated by detach-
ment of United States regulars. who
came at doublequick from Fort Mack
ntosh' near by. Many participants were
arrested; Others fled to their homes, or
across the river into Mexico.

soldiers used their fire arms. One woman
was shot dead, and number were

EAST ST. LOUIS, H., April 10,-8:30 a

during the entire night owing to numer'
Gus incendiary fires, but with the presence
of the military, which are guarding all the
main lines of the track diyerging from
the relay depot, scratching like order APP
pears to prevail for the day.
II is not possible at this hour to more
than approximate the damage by the
nights fires. They were all confined to
railroad property, and the officers sent
with troops report that about twenty to
thirty cars in all we're destroyed, which
were loaded with merchandise and coal.
The greatest damage occurred at the
CAIRO Short Line yards, about one mile
from the relay depot, where probably fiji
teen cars were destroyed and the flames
for time threatened the destruction of
100 or 200 cars in the intermediate vicini-
ty of the yards unprotected by the pres
ence OF active deputies, or officers of any
kind, and until company ID, of Cham
paign, arrived on the scene, the fire was
permitted to burn Mt its will.
Two members of this com pany were
found, who could fire and run locomo-
tive, and a switch engine being placed at
their disposal, they succeeded in bringing
away from the burning cars fully one
hundred box and coal cars.

No serious opposition of any character
has beset the troops, beyond little
wordy opposition, but nothing further.
The troops, after divesting themselves
of their baggage, bags and blankets, left
to take their allotted stations, which were
first confined to the switches near the
depot.
