FOR THE LITTLE FELLOW.
A Muscular Farmer Defends Small
Half-Isack In Football Match.

Muscular Farmer Defends "a Small
Half-Back In n Football Match.
An amusing incident occurred some
time since at football match between
two western college teams. The game
had been well advertised, and an en-
thusiastic crowd had gathered to wit
ness the contest The town in which
it took place was q small one, and a
goodly number were in attendance.
Among the members of the visiting
eleven was very slight young gentle
man whose appearance would lead one
to believe that he would be an easy
prey for the rushers of the other side,
but who, nevertheless, was an athlete
of the first order, schooled in all the
muscular arts, from tumbling to box
ing.
The game opened and proceeded
merrily, the elevens being we'll matched
and the contest an exciting one. Dur
ing the course of the fun a very YER
dant specimen of farm hand was no.
ticed to grow interested in the game.
He had occupied seat in the grand
stand, but as the contest grew warmer
had forced his way nearer and nearer
to the ropes, until he had succeeded in
getting his anatomy as near the field
as they would permit. His sympathies
were evidently with the visitors, and
every good play on their part was a
signal for q hairraising whoop from
the countryman. Especially did he in
terest himself in the little halfback,
and frequently encouraged that young
gentleman with cries of, $50 in, little
fellerl Don't let 'em bluff you! You
amt very big, but you're daisyl"
At last the ball came with a beauti
full sky kick right into the small play
er's hand, and seeing the lines of his
opponents somewhat ragged he seized
the ball and went for the other goal
like streak of white lightning. For
fully half the distance he went, buck
ing" and lodging, leaving two big play
ers rolling in the dust, while the gen.
tleman from the back districts almost
lost his head. by gosh' That's the
stuff! Haw haw. Hit 'em again !!
Go it, little feller Now you got 'em !!
Just said right''-but just then heavy
rusher bounced the man with the ball
and in moment the little fellow was
the center of p struggling, kicking, yell
ing mass of humanity.
The couhtryman's face heightened
and then frightened suddenly as his
favorite cleared himself for a moment,
and then the crowd was on to him
again, and the fight was hotter than
before. Here. by gol, you fellers let
up on that" yelled the spectator as the
halfback went down. by gosh, I
won't see no little feller bullied % he
exclaimed a moment later, andSspring-
ing over the ropes he made a dash for
the "scrap." Not looking for outside
interference the players were taken by
surprise, and in response to the vigor-
GUS blows and shoves of the country
man were soon sprawling in all direc-
tons. "Now, young Teller, jest get up
and tote your ball wherever you darn
please. Chicago News.

A Prominent ST. Louisan Charged

ST. LOUIS, July 2S.-John 81. Doug
lass, treasurer of the Knapp-Stout Lum-
Der company, one of the largest con-
Germs of its kind in the country, was ar
rested at a late hour last night on a
charge of killing Charles Dost, one of
the company's employees. The story
goes that DoSt, who was laborer, forty
six years of age, went to his home July
Z, complaining of a pain in the head. A
physician was called in. who found Dost
in semi-delirOus condition, and treated
him for Inflammation of the brain. Dost
continued to get worse, and yesterday
morning he died. Itthenbecame known
for the first time that DOSt had told his
wife that he had been struck on the
head at the lumber yard with piece of
plank by Mr.. Douglass. Mr.. Douglass
emphatically denies that he struck Dost
or anybody else. and says that he never
saw or heard of such man. The at
tending physician, and also another doc
tOr-one of the most eminent in the city
who was called in consultation, say
that they carefully examined the man
and failed to find any evidence that he
had been struck Oh the head. An il
quest will be held, and meantime Mr..
Douglass had been released OIL bail. Mr..
Douglass is well-known and well-tO-dO
citizen and great interest is being taken
in the case by his friends. DOst didn't
tell his wife that it was Mr.. Douglass
who struck him, and how the story got
out involving that gentleman is great
mystery.

. SUNK IN COLLISION.
A Tank Steamer and an Unknown
- Schooner Collide.

Boston, July 2s.-The steamship D.
81. Miller, from Baltimore, which ar
rived here yesterday, brought the cap
tain and crew of the steamer Charles
Merand, which was run down and sunk
bv an unknown schooner early Satur-
day, off Delaware breakwater. Capt.
Marshall of the wrecked steamer tells
the following story: 1.-The MOrand
sailed from New York Friday afternoon
for Vera Cruz with oil belonging to the
Standard Oil company. She had on
board crew of eighteen, captains wife
and daughter. On Saturday morning at
I:30 o'clock, during gale, an unknown
schooner was sighted dead ahead. The
steamer was put to starboard, but the
schooner changed her course at the
SAME time, the result being collision.
The sailing craft, deeply laden,
open ten-foot hole, and flooding the
engiue room. The schooner's mast
went by the board, and as the gale
drove the vessel apart cries of help
were heard coming from the schooner.
The steam er filed so rapidly that all
hands had to take to the boats, saving
nothing. They were only kept afloat
by constant bailing. at 10 o'clock in
the morning the exhausted crew sight
ed the Miller. After an hours exciting
work, on account of the heavy sea, all
hands were taken aboard. Capt. Mar
shall was badly injured by flying splint-
ers. What became of the schooner is
unknown, but it is believed that she
went down with her crew.

S. &. Reed, owner of the Bunker Hill
and Sullivan mines, sent his check for
$500. Already the work of rebuilding
the town has commenced, and the
sound of hammer and saw is heard on
all sides. Seventeen merchants came
down to Spokane tonight to order goods.
At one time to-day it looked as if there
would be a lynching. A crowd of
toughs got hold of barrel of whisky,
and drank about half of it. When a
citizen demonstrated with them, they
drew revolvers and threatened to
kill him. Angry citizens came
within an ace of stringing
the ringleaders up. The burnt
district covered about eight blocks, the
fire even reaching up on the surround
ing hills and consuming portion of the
residence part of the town. The flames
are still raging in the timber on the sur
rounding hills. A vigilance COM
mittee has been organized for
the protection of property and
punishment of lawlessness, but so far
has had 10 occasion to act. A large
number of people passed Sunday
night in the open air, but
shelter has been since provided.
Brick buildings will take the place of
the frames. Of the several merchants
who came to Spokane tonight, only
one was fortunate enough to carry
gripsack, the others having lost every
thing by the fire.

There was very good Monday crowd
at the fair grounds yesterday, and the
weather, though there was trife more
wind blowing than was wanted, present
ed no cause for complaint. DiIigent
working had brought the track to con-
dition which could scarcely have been
improved ON, and both horsemen and
spectators were satisfied with the out
look. Que feature of the Jockey clubs
management, and one upon which it is
to be congratulated, is that fakirs and
side show gamblers, who thrOng almost
every race course, and victimize people
in every direction, have not been ad-
mitted. The smooth gentleman who
manipulates three walnut shells for a
living is conspicuous by his absence, as,
in fact, are all the rest OF the bfacklegs
and welcherS whose harvest field is the
racing circuit. The fact that not a sim
gle fight or trouble of any kind has oc-
CURED during the progress of the meet
ing thus far is sufficient commentary on
the efficiency of the police de-
tail. There was very fair rep
resentation of ladies on the ground
yesterday. About half the boxes were
occupied, and the reserve section of the
grand stand was brilliant with the
bright colors presented in the various
and handsome costumes. Brooke's
Military band, which has been furnish
ing the music, is beyond doubt one of
the best in the West. The music Sc
lected has been appropriate and we'll
rendered, and several times an enthusi-
astic audience in the grand stand has
called for repetition of some more
than usually catchy piece. From the
tower of the driving clubs quarters
flew the club colorS, and beneath it on
the porches shawls and handkerchiefs
waved encouragement to the little
Jocks as they came in sight on the
home stretch. The Minneapolis crowd
was small one, and in fact it must be
said that the Flour City representation
has not at any time been heavy enough
to make perceptible difference in the
size of the crowd. 1t is expected, and
with good reason, that the last three
days of the week will see the largest
attendance of the meeting.

MALTREATED BY A MOB.
The Armenian Patriarch Mauled
by Compatriots.

CONSTANTINOPLE, July 2S.-This city
is in ferment over the situation in
Armenia. and the widest rumors are
flying about in regard to the expected
Russian interference. To-day an i'm
mense gathering of Armenians called to
protest against the slaughter of their
countrymen, and the weak action, as it
is considered. of the Armenian patriarch,
developed into dangerous mob, and
proceeded with loud cries OF anger to-
ward the residence of the patriarch.
That ecclesiastic attempted to prevent
the violence of the people, but, entirely
forgetting that their old respect for the
venerable head of the Armenian church
the mob laid violent hands upon him
and might have treated him with fatal
severity, had he not sought safety in
flight. Then they paraded through
the streets, attacking the houses of the
magistrates and others who are consid-
cred unfriendly to the Armenians. The
Turkish troops were ordered out to stay
the progress of the mob. The troops
used their firearms freely, but for some
time were unable to make headway
against the enraged Armenians, and
number of both the soldiers and rioters
were killed. AT length the soldiers sue
ceeded in dispensing the multitude and
preventing further disaster. The mob
is believed to have been acting under
Russian lnstigation, with view of
causing all outbreak that might be too
great for the porte to deal with and
thereby justify the interference of Rus
sia, which country, it is said, has large
body of troops ready to advance into
the Aslatic dominions Of Turkey, while
the Russian Black sea fleet is. prepared
to make a demonstration on CONSTANT
nople. The Armenian patriarch is said
to be Frustrated by the indignities to
which hewaS subjected. The patriarch
is regarded as friendly to the porte, and
not in sympathy with Russian designs.
Martial law has been proclaimed in
the Kroom quarter, which is patrolled
by cavalry. Several arrests have been
made.
