Saw Effects of Volcanic Eruption.

San Francisco. Nov. 24.-The gunboat
Ranger, which has arrived here from
Panama. will go to the Mare Island
navy yard where she will remain two
months undergoing repairs. Captain
Potter and the officers of the Ranger
witnessed some of the effects of the
eruption of the volcano Santa Maria
while passing up the Central American
coast but a the time were not aware
of the disaster that had fallen upon
Guatemala. In the gulf og Tehuantepec
the Ranger was for two days in a thick
atmosphere with pumice stone and
ashes covering the surface of the sea in
all directions. The shore. which was
many miles distant from Santa Maria,
was covered with white ashes.

1T is also unlawful for any person not
a resident of Missouri to come into this
state and kill game. Such a hunter is
guilty of a misdemeanor under our sta
tutes."
According to Deputy Hashagen. great
quantities of game killed out in the state
are shipped to St. Louis, billed as other
kinds of express, and delivered To the
homes of the huntsmen.
Sometimes the deer slain by the st.
Louis sportsman in southeast Missouri are
packed in a dry goods box and shipped
as household goods. Now and then a
hunter takes his trunk along and ships
it home filed with quail, squirrels, ducks,
wild turkeys and other game, says Mr..
Hashagen. Trunks thus filled are known
to come as regular baggage
All sorts of subterfuges Mr.. Hashagen
says, are resorted to by the hunters in
order to get their game home
'It is. indeed. peculiar" says the dep
uty game warden. that parties of men
sometimes go away for a three days
hunt. wearing hunting suits old cloth
ing and take their trunks along. What
use has man for a dress suit in the
wilds of fancy county? I am after the
rich hunters who defy the game laws in
this way. and when the new assistant
prosecuting attorney comes into office,
the LIST of December. I intend to press the
matter before him.

to include 20 or more indictments

Since the investigation of election

persons in the tolls.
The result is a daily increase in the
number of persons called before the
grand jury. Forty appeared before it
Friday, and when the investigating body
puts into concrete form the conclusions
of its own observations. and what it has
learned from the hundreds of witnesses
brought before it. it is assured that the

grand jurors themselves are said to have
furnished clews that put the latter on
the track of serious violations, to be fol-

gated conditions in the Twenty-second
ward, VIII hear witnesses from the
eighth, ninth, tenth and eleventh pre-
c:ncts.

fence around St. Stephens cemetery
in this place, held a meeting in the
furniture store of Mr.. Scott Hendrix
last Friday afternoon. All of the
members of committee made reports
of the sums obtained and while the

and order the fencing, trusting to
the liberality of those who have dead
buried there to make the deficit good.
It was also decided at this meeting
to ask the female members of fam

Eleven Men Killed.

Birmingham, Ala, Oct. 19-Three
white men and eight negroes are re.
ported to have been killed in race
riot at Littleton, Ala, a small town
25 miles southeast of this city to-
night. The number of wounded has
not yet been ascertained.
A special train carrying Sheriff Au-
drew W. Bergen and ten deputies
left for the scene of the riot at 10
o'clock tonight.
The riot is said to have been caused
by crowd of negroes attacking a
white woman who was passing over a
railroad bridge en- route home from a
visit to nighbor.
As soon as the white citizens of the
town learned of the attack they i'm
mediately began their search for the
woman's asssilants. The negroes re
fused to deliver the woman's assail-
ants and armed themselves to protect
their leaders. When the posse arriv-
ed the negroes opened fire, killing
three of the officers. The deputies
returned the fire, killing eight ne
groes. ,..
Owing to the large number of ne
groes, who outnumbered the whites
ten to one, the posse was forced to
retreat. The negroes are reported to
be in complete possession Of the town
and have entrenched themselves.
The negroes have captured powder
magazine, the property of coal
company, and are strongly fortified.
"a. MA newspaper representa-
tive who returned from Littieton at
o'clock reported that the situation
was serious. The following list Of
identified wounded has been obtained:
Joe Thompson, white, shot in
bowels, serious.
Ira Creol, white, missing.
John Baer, negro, shot in heel.
Will Tolhert, negro, shot in chest,
serious.
The first information of the riot re-
ceived here was telegram to Sheriff
Bergen from Littleton, stating that
white man had been killed and that
the negroes had armed themselves tc
resist all attempts at arrest. It is
stated that the white woman the ne
groes attacked was severely injured.
