there was talk of lynching the father-in-

no violence is anticipated, although the
excitement is intense.
The developments of the past week have

Bloody Race Riot.

The bloodest race riot in Arkansas in
months took place at Palaram station,
thirty miles from Little Rock, late Satur-
day evening. Three men are dead, an
other fatally wounded and two others
badly injured. II. ID. Owens, deputy
FOR Harrison Kerr, IL negro, charged with
murder. When he attempted to make the
arrest at Palaram Kerr opened fire on the
officers. The first shot struck Owens in
the groin and inflicted serious wound.
The money in Owens pocket probably
saved his life. Charles Andry and j. L.
Clark went to Owens assistance and five
more negroes joined in with Kerr. A
pitched battle ensued, in which over fifty
shots were fired. When the shooting was
over Andry and Peters lay dead. Clark
staggered into his Office and fell upon the
door. Owens was lying in a ditch near
the station and Kerr and the remainder of
his companions had disappeared. The
entire town was at the scene of the shoot
ing and Il posse started in pursuit of the
0eeing negroes.
Harrison Kerr was found lying dead in
the road a mile away literally shot to
pieces, blood running from five wounds i'm
his body. The other negroes who partic-
pated in the battle continued their flight
and have not yet been captured. The
whole country is in fever of excitement
and should kerr's associates be captured
they will never come to trial.

RICH RAGGED TOP STRIKE.
Body of Ore Found Which Runs

Top of body of ore assays from which
will run sl,048 per ton in gold. There are
six claims in the group, or sixty five acres,
and the orc body cuts them all. The prop
crty is owned by A. j. Smith, DIR. j. A.
Paddock and John Musselman of Dead
wood and Tobias Castor, of Lincoln, Neb.
Fsom eight cars shipped before the new
strike a return above all expenses of 500
a ton had been received, and one man
alone took out ore which netted 5000.
There is sufficient ore in sight to keep the
present force of miners at work for many
months, and that it is one of the richest
things ever struck in the Hills no one who
has examined doubts. The owners have
received number of fiatterng offers for
the ground, but have concluded to work it
for themselves. The new find has caused
no little excitement in Deadwood and has
served in measure to allay the KlOndike

LIKE A BATTLE FIELD
LIVELY FIGHT FOR MODERN

Trainload of Rock Islanders Land
in Fulton and Attempt to carry

Hurt in the Scriinmage.
Fulton a Battle Field.

The long standing fight between Fulton
and Rock Island, ILL.,, for the location of
the Offices OF the Modern Woodmen of
America eliminated Friday in a hand to
hand fight between scores of partisans of
the respective towns, in which number
persons were seriously injured.
AT the recent convention of the order
held at Dubuque, Iowa, it was decided to
move the Offices and books of Head Clerk
lIawes to Rock Island.
Friday party was made up early by the
Rock Islanders and plans were made for a
raid on the Fulton headquarters with the
object of forcibly taking possession of the
books, records, etc., of Head Clerk Hawes,
and removing the headquarters of the
order to Rock Island. A train was
chartered, consisting of three coaches, Il
baggage car and two box cars, and the in
vadcrs were soon on their way to Fulton.
The inhabitants of the latter town were
forewarncd, however, and made ready to
give their uninvited guests a cordial re-
ccptiOn. A fire alarm was sounded, and
lines of hose We're laid to the points where

be most likely to disembark. The arrival
of the special train was the signal for hos
tilties to begin. There was intense feel
ing on both sides and great variety of
weapons, this combination resulting in the
injury of sixteen persons.
A score of others, mostly members of the
Rock Island party, were more or less
bruised or cut. The Fultonites finally got
the better of the fight and Deputy Sheriff
Farley, with the assistance of Il number of
citizens of that town, effected the arrest of
Head Attorney johnson of the Modern
Woodmen, one of the Rock Island party
and Il number of his companions.
The railroad track OH each side of the
cars that brought the Rock Islanders was
torn up by the Futonitcs, the latter evil

of their enemies. The scene of the fighting
bears every evidence of the liveliest war

arms in both parties, it is a wonder the
affair did not result more seriously than it
did.
The action of the Rock Island people
was prompted by decision of Judge Cast,
rendered at Cambridge, dissolving the in
junction which had prevented the removal
of the headquarters from Fulton.

Condition of the Crops.

Below are extracts from the crop bulle-
tin, issued from the government bureau AT
Huron:
In the most southern counties oats and
spring wheat harvest is about completed,
stacking is general and some little thrash
ing has been done. In the central counties
harvest will be pushed now, with favora-
BILE weather; in the northern counties will
be general i'll week to ten days. There
is general report, except in Il few localities,
that the berry is plump and of good quail
ity.
Corn has done we'll and is close to the
seasonal average of Advancement. Esti-
mates from correspondents in all parts of
tho state indicate that with favorable
weather from now on it will be safe from
frost by September to 49, 1t is every
where healthy and promising, although
the late frosts of spring and the work of
cat worms thinned the stand in MANY local
tiles. In the southern counties much of it
is in the roasting ear stage, and in the cen :
tral counties caring rapidly. Sweet corn
of good quality is plentiful on the market.
Potatoes have done we'll and promise a
good to very good crop.
Haying was considerably interrupted by
wet weather and there was considerable
down that was injured.
The rains were very assuring for good
pasturagc until killing frost occurs.
Prairie grass is growing and thickening
rapidly.

BLOW TO MINERS.
injunction Against Strikers Issued
by q Pittsburg Judge.


by q Pittsburg Judge.
bill for an injunction against the
United Mine Workers was filed In the
county court in Pittsburg, Pa, Thursday
by the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal
Company. The defendants named are the
United Mine Workers of America, district
officials and others. The company sets
forth that it has sl,OOO,OOO invested in coal
lands in Pennsylvania; recites the con-
ditions prevailing at its mines since the
strike began; alleges the strikers have
paid no attention to the shertf's proclama
tion; that the lives of the miners and the
property of the company are i'll danger
Judge Collier granted a preliminary in
junction cnj0ining the defendants frOmas-
sembling, marching and cncamping in the
proximity of the mines and houses of the
miners, for the purpose. by intimidation
and threats, of preventing the miners
working.
The injunction is regarded as the most
sweeping yet issued. The striking miners
at Canonsburg have determined to force
the injunction issue by continuing their
daily marches. The purpose is to have the
men arrested in order to test the legality
of the injunction. District President Do
Ian stated that it had been determined as
fast as one group is arrested another will
take its place, placing so many men in
Jail that the public opinion of the country
will be aroused on the question of the
alleged new form of injunction. 1t is said
this movement has been pledged the sup
port of all the leading trades unions.

that the MeNicms are more prosperous
under the operation of free silver than the
people of the United States are with the
gold standard. The special information
he seeks is concerning the number of
Americans who lave established them
selves in Mexico within the past two years,
the amount of American capital seeking
investment, and the general extension of
trade there as the result of what he STYLES
a wise financial policy.

wheat's Rapid Upward Rush rca.
turc of tho Week.


II. G. Dun 6 Co.'s Weekly Review OF
Trade says: Every city reporting this
week notes an increase in trade and nearly
all bright crop prospects. The strong rise
in stocks, the growth of bank clcarings
and railroad earnings, the heavy specula-
tion in many products, but most of all in
wheat, have made the week one of sur.
passing interest even to those who best
remember the upward rush in 1879. In all
the great industries heavy demand for
products appear, with strong speculation
in materials and intermediate products, In
the iron and steel branch, starting of
many works after settlement of wages
keeps prices low, and even decreases some,
but the fact that the demand is growing
leads to heavy purchases Of iron ore.
Failures for the week have been 239 in the
United States, against 29S last year, and 80
in Canada, against Sc last year.

BATTLE WAS A BLOODY ONE
Was an Attempt to Capture weyler
or Kill Him,

OF holl htn.
Further details have been received of
the battle near Aguacate, Island of Cuba,
which is liear the Matanzas line. 4 con-
servativc estimate places the number of
Spanish killed at 200, while the rebel loss
was comparatively tritling. The bloodicst
battle that has taken place i'm several
months was the one fought at Aguacate.
1t is known the battle was the result of an
attempt TO capture Gen. Weyler or kill
him. The details of the actual fighting
are mcagcr, but many reliable persons
who passed near the place, which is beside
railroad station, state that from the car
riage windows they could see many dead
soldiers along the road. The rebels used a
rapid fire gun. Their oss was compara-
lively light.
Gen. Wcylyr arrived at Guanabacoa
with 1000 men. Five miles from Guam
abacoa Weyler was approached by rebel
force under Gen. Rodriguez, whose plan
was to put Weyler to flight and pursue
him into the mountains, where the captain
general stood a good shown of being killed
or captured. The rebels fired several VOL
leys from the hills along the roadside,
killing several and wounding a large
number of Spanish, but Gen. Weyler re-
fused to give fight and kept on his march
to Guanabacoa. There is great excitement
over WeSler's inability to check the rebels.
Everybody who can manage it is moving
to town from the outskirts, as they are en-
pecting an attack. Hardly night passes
now but band of insurgents come into
the suburbs of Havana and receives from
friends supplies of medicine and clothing.
