AN EYE-wITNEss'S STORY.
o.. III. HOvey, n Detective, Was Near
When the Row Began.

O. III. Hovey, formerly a private detective
of San Francisco, and who is now doing a
little detective work in this city, witnessed
the first trouble that led to the riot. Speak
ing Of the affair, he said:
Il was at Fairview last Sunday night and
saw d nan lift a watch from a woman's
dress and / went there again tonight to
see If / could catch the fellow. L was
standing near the meTry-gO-round near a
crowd of young white men, who. L under
stand, are members Of the notorious Bun
galoo gang. and heard one of them say
Let's catch the niger and hang him. The
crowd started after three young colored
men standing not far away and one OF the
colored men started toward the restaurant
He jumped over the tables and the counter
and was lost TO sight.
THE white boys all gave chase and the
crowd was augmented by men and boys
and women and children running toward
the restaurant. When | reached the place
there were nearly six hundred people in the
restaurant pavilion. | closed one of the
doors and started to close another. a
younS man named Roy Huffman tried to
pass me and he was knocked to the floor
oy The crowd. Men jostled women and
children and a riot seemed imminent.
After / called the police station / went
back 60 the restaurant and found that
Huffman had been struck on the head with
a club by some man who escaped. He was
unconscious and his friends were trying to
find mis- assailant. While the crowd was
still gathered about the restaurant the
snOotlng on the outside occurred. There
were six shots fired. two of them striking
Daniels in the neck. one entering the kitch-
EN-, the fourth grazing the side of the
house and one passing between a man and
young lady seated on a bench near the
restaurant. / 60 not know where the sixth
shot went. II was remarkable that no one
else was injured during the shooting"

PRAYED IN VAIN.
Hot Weather Record EquaIed i'm st.
Louis Yesterday.

ST. LOUIS. No, July H-On this. the
day that Governor Dockery designated for
fasting and prayer that the present drought
might end in Missouri. the highest record
ever attained in St. Louis was equaled. the
weather bureau thermometer registering
los degrees in the shade. ON the streets and
in exposed places the mercury went many
degrees higher. From Z a. m, when the Their
mometer showed 30 degrees, until $3.50 d. M.
the mercury steadily climbed. Hardly a
breath of air stirred all day, and the little
breeze that did stir came as from a furnace.
The parks were thronged all day and late
into the night by thousands who sought
relief from the heat.
The Governors proclamation 10 pray for
rain was very generally needed, nearly
every church in the city holding well-at-
tended services. This Is the second procla-
nation Of this kline ever made in Missouri.
IN 1915 Gov. Charles II. Hardin called
upon the people Of the state TO pray for
relief from the drought and a plague of
grasshOppers. Gov. \. NJ. Dockery's procla-
nation. issued on July 10, is in substance
as follows:
whereas, The prevailing drought is
widespread and disaster threatens our COM
Whereas. Many earnest Christian people
have petitlOned that a day OF fasting and
prayer D. appointed; therefore.
BE IL known. That Sunday, July 2l. is
HEREBY set apart as a day OF fasting and
prayer that threatened disaster may be
ANerted. and TO this end the people are re-
cuested To assemble at their usual places
OF worship e. invoke the blessings of Al
mighty God
Three victims OF the heat were found dead
IN bed. There were a number OF prOstrd-
lions. two Of which may prove fatal. Tn
d0ubtedly the number OF DrostratiOns and
deaths would have been large but for the
low percentage OF humidity. During the day
the relative humidity. as reported by the
Weather Bureau, ranged between 30 and 81
degrees. The intense heat extended all over
the State.
Norman j. Colman, former secretary Of
agriculture, who had been receiving for the
last week full reports on the hay crop from
all the agricultural domains OF Missouri
and Kansas. asserts that this Is the most
disastrous drought that has visited the
country for "a generation. Re has advised
various farmers associations OF this State
20 begin sowing at once a second grass crop.

CLEVELAND, Miss, July 21.-This morn
ing at 1:SO o'clock a band of armed negroes,
none OF whom was known, rode into Cleve-
land and, stopping a party of three white
men on the main street, made threatening
demands. Being called upon to identify
themselves, they answered by bringing
their rifles into play. One of the negroes
was killed on the spot, another was wound
ed and his body is reported TO have been
found on the outskirts of town. The
others escaped, although it is supposed that
more than three were hurt They were
armed with Winchester rifles and were well
mounted. Excitement was at fever heat
during the remainder of the night. Squads
of armed men patrolled the streets until
daylight.
Ia trouble grew out of the lynching of
Jesse Phillips in the earlier part of the
night. The negroes in this section are or
ganized into lodges" secret orders,
protective societies." and such, and as
Phillips was a leader among them 1t was
feared that an attempt would be made to
avenge his death.
The fact has developed that the killing of
young Reed was a studied scheme on the
part of the negroes. 1t has been decided
that the breaking up of these negro organ
izatlons is necessary and there is no doubt
that this decision will be enforced. The
town is more quiet to-day than is usally
the case on Sunday.

EXTENT OF THE HEAT WAVE.
Eight States and Territories Suffering
and No Relief i'm Sight.

WASHINGTON. July 21.-A hot wave of
unusual and in many places record-break-
ing intensity is again prevalent over the
central Western part of the country and
is spreading eastward and northward. The
central West reported extraordinarily high
temperatures 10 the Weather Bureau to-
day. The maximum temperature line OF
100 degrees to-day included the States ard
Territories Of Nebraska. Kansas, Okla
homa, Iowa, Missouri, Ohio. Indiana ard
Illinois. Tonight at Chicago at Z o'clock
the temperature was 100 degrees, exceeding
by several degrees anything ever before
recorded at that time of the day. a serious
feature is the showing made in the States
OF Iowa, Missouri and Kansas, where the
temperature has been 90 degrees or over
for a period OF over a month. For eighteen
days of this time the thermometer at Kan
sas City registered 100 degrees or more.
Weather Bureau officials don't care to
make any prediction as to the prospects
of relief. They say that none as yet is in
sight. The seriousness of the situation 10
crops is increased by the lack of rain. none

life has made the beef unfit for the market.
Mutton has suffered in the same way.
These products are poor and thin and must
be disposed of at a loss to the farmer.
Many farmers are needing the advice to
plant turnips. grass. barley and even wheat.

no relief for the pasture grass that was
planted early i'm the season. This has been

Farmers OF Missouri are feeding wheat to
their stock in some of the most parched
sections Of the State. They say that they
have found this cheaper than resorting TO
the supply OF oats in the present extremity.
Large stock owners in Missouri have been
shipping their horses and cattle across the
river into parts Of Illinois which nave
escaped the worst OF the heat.

HOUSTON, Tex. July 21-During the

been received from about 80 counties IN
Texas. about one-haIf of them in the cotton
growing section. A group of large cotton
producing counties in the central portion OF
the State have had 10 rain. but elsewhere
the fall has been sufficient for immediate
needs Of the crop. Shedding is reported
by some correspondents, so that the plant
is small and is heavy laden with Dolls.
Picking will begin in southwestern Texas
during the Oming week and the cotton is
beginning TO open freely in south central

Wilson. the Governors secretary. called up
the park and asked ii the policemen there
still needed assistance. The reply was that
