in CONTROL OF MODS
STREETS OF TRIESTE WERE IN POS
SESSION OF RIOTERS,
Who Smashed windows and Stoned
the Police and TrOOps-Six Per-
sons Killed and n Score Hurt.

TRIESTE, Austria, Feb. Is. - Crowds
thronged the streets this morning, but mill
tary patrols keep the strikers and public
generally moving. All the squares and
public buildings are occupied by soldiers,
and large contingents of the military forces
are in readiness for immediate action.
Business is suspended. A number of those
who were wounded when the troops on the
Plaza Grande fired a volley into a mob
yesterday have since died.
Many black flags were flying this after
noon and mobs paraded the streets, smash
ing the windows of those who did not disc
play mourning. The result was that there
were repeated encounters between rioters,
soldiers and police and many arrests We're
made One detachment Of troops, which
was attacked, retaliated by firing on the
mob Three Of the rioters were killed and
four wounded. The street lamps have been
broken off and the gas has been ignited.
The police and troops are pelted from the
house tops with tiles and slate.
The burgOInaSter, who is president of
the arbitration tribunal, announced that it
had been decided TO comply with the de-
mands of the striking stOkers. The town
council protests against the action of the
government authorities and has asked for
the liberation of those persons who have
been arrested. The government has applied
a special regime to the Trieste district
and has suspended the ordinary civil
rights.
The announcement that it had been de-
cided to cOncede the demands of the strik-
ers had tranquilizing effect this evening.
The total humber of persons .killed is six
and score were injured.

that has been made in many years is that
on the farm of John Bamford, seventeen
miles northeast of this city On this farm
is a spring, which in the summer time is
very swampy and marshy, and the owner
has long believed the soil contained bones
of prehistoric animals. Yesterday morning
he and his neighbOrs began to dig in the
frozen ground They have excavated
place six feet square AMI six feet deep and
have taken out a large number of bones
and pieces of ivory. An IVORY tusk five feet

among the relics. The jawbones of three

at his post, wreck in which one man was
killed, a coroner's investigation resulting
in the engineer and two others being held
to await the action of the grand jury, form

Maurice Burke, of Princeton. Ind, was
killed. Jackson, his fireman. and a brake
man yesterday were held by the coroner
jury on charges Of criminal negli gence.

signed +. Helms. in which the writer says
a man named Jackson. and an engineer, is
being looked for by the representatives of
a large estate, of which Jackson is entitled
to a large share. The letter asks the
assistance Of the coroner in finding whether
the Jackson who was in the wreck is the
