Pittsburg. May 14.-A mob Of men
and boys numbering about 1000 took
possession OF Turtle Creek. a small
town about olght miles east OF here
and at midnight the sheriff was called
upon to suppress the riot The trouble
was preclpitated by the board OF health

a pest house. The citizens objected
to this and when the board made
preparations for the removal of the
six cases of smallpox in the town to
the school house last evening they
were met by the mob, who refused to
allow them to proceed.
Twenty-Five special officers were
sworn in, but could do nothing and
the volunteer fire department was call
ed out. The firemen found a full
fiedged riot In progress. but succeeded
In dispensing the rioters by turning
the hose on them. The crowd soon
returned, however, and cutting the
hose, pelted the firemen with stones
and beat them with clubs until they
retreated. A number OF the fremen
were badly cut and bruised, but none
seriously hurt.
During the temporary absence Of the
crowd several firemen and three mem
bers Of the board of health took pos
session of the building, where they
remained barricaded until the shor-
IN and posse arrived. About 1000 OF
the rioters still surround the buildings.
