PUGET SOUND FOREST FIRES.
The Flames Stitl Spreading With Alarm-
ing Rapidtty.


SEATTLE, WASH, Aug. 20.-For two
weeks the Puget Sound country has been
enveloped in mantle of smoke, but,
until within day or two, it was not such
as to cause serious inconvenience. The
smoke Is caused by the forest fires, which
of late have been increasing with alarming
rapidity, until now the sun is completely
obscured at midday, and smoke rests like
a black pail over the entire country. Navi-
CATION on the Sound is seriously impeded,
although no accidents Of any note have yet
occurred.
The damage to standing timber in
Snohomish, Skagit and Whatcom counties
particularly will be very large, while in
some sections crops and farm property
have suffered severely. No lives have been
lost so far as known. Rain is badly needed,
and the danger to property from the rapid
spread of the forest fires is daily becoming
more imminent, while the smoke nuisance
is becoming almost intolerable.

Increased Assessment.
FRESNO, CAL, Aug. 20.-County AS
SCISSOR J. P. Vincent has gone to Sacra-
mento to show cause before the State
Board of Equalization why the assessment
of Fresno County should not be raised.
Mr.. Vincent took with him voluminous
data relating to sales and appraisements
of property, offers of property for SALE
foreclosures, etc., to show that his work
was generally well done, and that the
valuations taken as a whole are fair.
The Assessor says that, generally speak
ing, his valuations have tendency to be
high in proportion to the assessment OF
similar property in other parts of the
State. 1t is not expected that the State
Board will raise Fresno's assessment.

Lawmakers Strike Down the
Horse-Breeding Industry

Ole Hutch, Regarded as Sure
Thing. Lost by Casti ng a
Shoe.

BUFFALO, n. Y, Aug. 20.-The Buffalo
Driving Park, the mother track OF the
grand circuit, which last week closed It's
thirtieth annual meeting, is to be closed
upand pass out of existence. The associa-
ton has decided to dissolve, and already
Mr.. Hamlin has dismissed all his trainers
ami drivers at the track except Geers and
the horses are being taken to Village Farm
and many are being disposed Of Just
what disposition will be made of Geers has
not yet been determined. Full credit
for this decision can be given to the law
makers who enacted the prohibitory pool
selling law which, aiming at the vice of
gambling, struck down one of the greatest
industries of the State-horse breeding.
Just what Mr. Hamlin will do with his
horses is not yet known. AT the East
Aurora farm he has 600 horses and small
army of men to care for and train them.
1t is likely that all of these great interests
will be gradually disposed of.
CHICAGO, ILL, Aug. 20.-On his race
at Indianapolis last week, when he made
mark of 2:11L, Ole Hutch was re-
garded as a sure thing in the 2:30 pace at
Washington Park to-day, the third day OF
the North western Breeders Association
meeting. He won the first heat handily.
At the word in the second he cast shoe,
broke badly and finished fifth. Mambrino
Field led the distance with Robert Wilkes
hanging to his wheel. Ames, afraid OF
giving his horse mark, pulled him almost
to walk, the heat going to him despite
this. The next two heats went to Robert
Wilkes, Ole Hutch never becoming dan
gerous factor.
The Hopeful stake, for trotters in the
2:40 class, was gift to Bessie Wilton. To
the disgust of John G. Taylor, owner OF
Joe Patchen, Norther won the 2:16 trot in
straight heats, clipping a second off his
mark in the second heat of the race, made
at Morris, ILL.,, last week. Norther went
the distance in 2:13H and could have done
it in 2:10 fat if driven out. Since Satur-
day the attendance has been steadily fall
ing off, and the association figures that it
will be about $4,000 to the bad.

Nothing % rreren. the Fight.

Dallas, Tex, August S.-Ex-C City
Judge Charles Fecklor, regarded as
one of the clearest legal minds in Dali
las, stated the law governing prize
fighting as follows: "The last legis-
latnre adopted new criminal code
which made prizefighting a misde-
meanor, punishable with fine of not
less than $500 nor more than $1,000,
and an imprisonment of thirty days.
This law went into operation July 30.
The legislature also subsequently pass.
cd a civil code and it enacted that a
fight may take place by taking out a
license for $500. This law goes intC
effect September /, thirty days before
the Corbett Fitzsimmons contest.
There is no doubt the supreme court
will hold it is or will be the law after
the 1st Of September, The civil code
was adopted last and, therefore, viii
take precedence over the other" This
opinion is concurred in by every lawyer
in Dallas, who has read the law, ant
there is no power to prevent the Cor

THE ALABAMA RIOT.
Further Particulars OF the Conflict Be-
tween White and Black Miners.

tween white and Black Miners.
Birmingham, Ala, August 2.--Fur-
ther details Of the race riot at Brook
side are that in the first battle between
the whites and blacks last night two
negroes were killed. The battle waged
fiercely for nearly two hours. Biggers
and his men were protected by the
dense foliage and the whites were
forced to retreat. They gathered rein
forcements and renewed the attack.
Two more negroes fell dead under the
heavy fire. The ranks Of the whites
were thinned by several men who fell
wounded. While the miners were car
ing for their injured the negroes struck
out for the deeper woods. Another
posse was formed and the pursuit was
resumed.
Word was wired this city for help,
and Sheriff Morrow, with twenty five
men, left for the scene. At midnight
Sheriff Morrow and party came up to
the rioters. The whites bad captured
several Of the negroes, but Biggers was
not among them. A rope had been
carried along for purpose. That pur-
pose was just being carried into effect
when the sheriff arrived. The captur-
ed negroes were being bound hand and
foot, and the dangling moose from
limb Of a tree overhead told their i'm
pending fate.
Sheriff Morrow demanded the sur
render Of the prisoners. His request
was received in silence. Another de-
mand for surrender was met with a
fiat refusal from the leader Of the white
miners. Morrow then threatened to
open fire on both parties unless the pris-
oners were given up at once. Not
until his men presented their arms and
the ominous click Of their weapons
were heard did the spokesman of the
miners deliver up his captives. They
were brought back to the camp, where
another remonstrance was made by
those miners who had not joined the
pursuers. They made desperate at
tempt to take the prisoners from Nor
row, but the determined stand of his
men deferred them. The camp is in a
state Of great excitement and the me-
groes will be brought here to prevent a
lynching.
The bodies Of the four negroes were
brought to camp and laid ON rough
boards. The bodies of the two deputies
were taken to their homes. Over a
dozen men received wounds during the
battle, and were brought to camp for
surgical treatment. 1t is not thought
they are fatally injured. Further
trouble is feared.
Warrants have been issued for Big
gers arrest for trespassing on the min
ing company's property after his dis.
charge. He and his friends killed two
deputies, and this started the conflict.
A report from Brookside late this
afternoon states that Jim Biggers was
captured in the woods near Brookside
this forenoon. Lynching was talked
Of, but not attempted. In Brookside to-
day 500 whites and blacks are discus
sing last nights affray, and single
pistol shot would precipitate more
trouble. All ammunition has been
centered at Brookside in case of an
other attack.

st. Anthony, Idaho, August 3.--The
people Of this and surrounding towns
are still very much excited over the In

brings forth fresh rumors Last even
ing young man named Paul came
into town and declared that another
small band Of Indians, without
squaws or papooses, were making their
way toward the Hole, a few miles
north Of this town. On the strength
Of this, Baxter Hopkins Immediately
left here on horseback for the purpose
of verifying the report. He went as
far north as Marysvale, twenty miles
distant, and there found the settlers in
state Of great excitement. He reports
that the settlers have organized, and
are taking every precaution for their
own safety.
Guards are out by day and night.
Indians have been seen in the vicinity
of Marysyale for two or three days past,
and five men were delegated to ascer-
tain what the Indians were doing. The
understanding between these men was
that they should meet at a certain cab
in in the vicinity, and at the appointed
time, when three of them approached
the cabin, they noticed number Of In
dians surrounding it, who at once be-
gan firing. The three men retreated
and at once returned to Marysyale, but
Bishop Wilson and Captain Harris,
who were among the five, have not as
yet returned, and it is feared their
lives have been taken.
