ries In Missouri's Metropolis.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. IA riot broke ont
this afternoon at one of the polling places
in the Seventh Ward, where Republican
primaries were being held for the selec-
ton of delegates to the Republican CITY
and Twelfth District Congressional Con-

be bloodshed, but nobody received more
than bruises.
Fifty or more police officers appeared
on the scene and quelled the riot, arrest
ing Tom Malouey, one Of the leaders of
the gang which caused the trouble, and
nine or ten other men. Several other
leaders escaped during the confusion.
The riot commenced when \. II. Lus-
ter drove to the polling place with q shot
gun and announced himself as an A. p
A., and SAID he was afraid of nobody,
Another version is that he damned the
A. p. A., and said he was ready to fight
any member OF that organization. His
remarks, whatever they were, incensed
the crowd and rush was made for him,
He drove oil and escaped, but the trouble
continued when the men, who were later
arrested attacked mum Der OF negroes
who had already voted or were waiting to
do so, for the reason, it is said. that they
were supporting the 4. II. y. candidates.
\ crowd of several hundred people gath
cred around the negroes, who were
knocked down and beaten, and the single
officer present, finding that he could not
control the crowd, called for additional
officers, who quelled the riot
Luster was arrested and taken to po-
lice headquarters. He said he was taking
friend TO the polls in his buggy while
on his way hunting. This, he said, ac-
counted for the presence of his gun.

that already our coast defenses are in
fairly good condition and in conjunction

WEsTPoRT Cali, Oct. 1.-THE schooner
Chetco went ashore yesterday at Needle
Rock. No lives were lost. The vessel is
probably a total loss. No insurance.
The schooner Chetco went into Needle
Rock Sunday evening to load bark, and
Monday morning she commenced load
ing. After taking on about twenty cords
the Captain quit loading, the sea being
too rough. There being no wind it was
impossible to get out, and as the waves
increased the Captain made preparations
to hold on at the mooring. He ordered
the boat lowered to attend to the lines
and it was capsized. The men righted
the boat, but could do nothing in the
heavy surf rolling in, and all got aboard
the schooner. She hung on the remainder
OF the day and all night.
Yesterday the surf was rolling in very
heavy and as the lines commenced part
ing the Captain saw there was no hope TO
save the vessel, and at 5 p. NJ. the last line
went and the waves carried her high and
dry on sandy beach.
If the ocean keeps rough she will be
dashed to pieces against the rocks. The
Captain thinks she will be a total loss.
The crew is still with her, but have car
ried all movable things ashore.
STRANDING OF THE NORA HAWKINS.
TACOMA, Oct. IA Ledger special
from Westport says the lumber schooner
Nora Haw zins, which stranded there
Monday night, was in command OF Cap
tain Hawkins and First Mate A. King.
and sailed from San Diego on September
25th tor Gray's Harbor. All went well
until Monday night at about 10 o'clock.
The sea was running very high. The
Captain thought they were near the Will
lapa Bay light. a heavy northwest wind
drove them too close in. and the vessel
struck at 10 p. NJ, instead of \. NJ, Tues
day morning. The sea soon carried away
the forward cabin and swept the unfortu-
nate ycung man from South America
overheard. The balance of the crew came
through the breakers and got to shore
safely. With the incoming tide to-day the
vessel was brought close TO shore. At =
p. NJ. Tuesday the life-saving crew from
Wiliapa Bay arrived with all apparatus,
but was too late to do any good. The
Captain and mate say if the Grays Harbor
light had been there they would not have
lost their ship. She is now high and dry
on the beach, with considerable damage
done to her bottom.

Los ANGELES, Oct. ia very impor-
tant meeting, and one affecting the inter-
ests of every fruit grower in the southern

Executive Board of the Southern Califor-

fruit auction at San Francisco. Consider
able opposition to the scheme has devel-

adyisability of giving up the undertak-

appear as ii the disposal of the fruit crop
at auction would be most satisfactory to
all concerned, both growers and buyers.
Certain of the commission houses object,
however, not, it seems. because the grow
ers or buyers are particularly injured
but because, as they aliege. it demoraliZes
the market. They contend that the grow
ers as well as the buyers were injured last
year by the auction sales. Good fruit as

all of it was sold at lower prices than was
