Hundreds of Them Raid u Market In
Buffalo.

BUFFALO, ". V, Aug. 2t-Serious trou-
bic developed this morning at the Broadway
market. East Buffalo, due TO the bold rob-
berry of provision stands by the unemployed
Poles. \ large number of people in the
Polish district are out of work. and having
exhausted the resources of the poorm lister
have resorted to robbery to supply their
wants.
The trouble began yesterday and was re-
newed this morning. The owners of the
stands and stalls which were raided by the
hungry mob withstood the attempt to loot
them of their property as best they could,
finally using violence. and riot resulted.
The assaultiug parties Of Poles, number
ing forty fifty at first. soon increased to
two or three hundred, far outnumbering
the marketmep and the police on duty
there. A call for aid was made upon the
police headquarters and the reserves were
hurried in patrol wagons to the scene.
They speedily restored and arrested ten of
the ringleaders.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 24.-In the trial Of
Actor NJ. B. Curtis for the murder Of Police
man Grant, Joseph Holt, the treasurer Of the
Tivoi Theater, identified pistol found near
Grants BODY as one which was brought to hin
a few DAYS before Grants death by theater
employe, who saw it drop out of Curtis pocket
as he lay asleep on sofa in the theater office.
W. II. Leahy. a theater employe, testified that
he picked up the pistol which had dropped out
of Curtis pocket and gave it to Holt. He iden-
titled the pistol found near Grant as the one he
picked up. This evidence is regarded as i'm
portant and strong point against Curtis The
defense was that he never owned black

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Aug. 24.-Four of the
heirs to the s3,O0OOOo left by the late Nor
man w. Kitson filed a sensational answer
in the probate court yesterday reiterating
the claim that the st. Paul Trust Company
is wrecking the estate and delaying its
settlement for the simple purpose of put
ting more money into the pockets of the
company. The heirs charge that the trust
company has done this at the urgent So
licitation and request of James J. Hill, who
for the past five years has been, and now
is. the largest stock holder and a director of
the trust company and also co-defendant
with the trust company in the Farley case
now before the United States Supreme
Court, and TO aid the said James j. Hill to
carry on the litigation with said Farley.
and for the further reason of keeping the
estate Of Norman W. kitson in its hands
unnecessarily for the past four years in
order to reap large profits by way of
