MINERS AND POLICE.
One Killed and Many Wounded in Riot on
the Streets Of Shenandoah.

Ohs hihSa anu many HOuHde0 IN ki0t on
the Streets Of Shenandoah.
Shenandoah, August LIN street
fighting tonight between a mob of strik-
ing miners on one side and deputy
sheriffs and police'on the other, JOS
eph Bcddall, leading merchant, was
beaten to death, two borough police
men were shot, one fatally, and more
than score Of strikers were shot by
policemen and deputy sheriffs. Sheriff
Beddall arrived at 7:l5 p. M. from
Pottsyille with posse of deputies. He
has taken up his headquarters at the
Ferguson hotel. To an Associated
Press reporter he said he had asked
Governor Stone to send the militia.
The governor wired that if the citizens
of the town petitioned for troops he
would send them.
The trouble started about 6 o'clock
tonight, when Deputy Sheriff Thomas
Beddall attempted to escort two nom
union workers through the strikers
line of pickets. The workmen we're
dressed in their street clothes, but one
OF them carried bundle under his
arm and this aroused the suspicious of
the strikers. The bundle was torn
from him, and when it was found to
contain blouse and overalls, the man
was taken from the deputy and beaten
almost to death.
In the meantime, Beddall opened FIRE
on the mob which had gathered, and
emptied his revolver. Two Of the shots
took effect, one man being shot in the
leg and another in the foot. The dep
uty and the other strike breaker were
now compelled to fly fol their lives, and
took refuge in the Philadelphia &
Reading railroad station. The station
was soon surrounded by an angry mob
of 5000, which was becoming more
threatening and demonstratiye every
moment.
Joseph Beddall, hardware merch-
ant and brother of the deputy sheriff,
was seen making his way through the
crowd in an effort to reach his brother,
and the mob, divining that he was car
rying ammunition to those inside the
station, struck and beat him with clubs
and billies into insensibility. He
died en- route to the Miners hospital.

Warden James Thinks the $500 Should bt
Paid Tor Return Of Msnilrs Body.
Salem, Or, August First Warden
,. 7. James, Of the Oregon penitentiary,
has created a stir in Official circles BY
giving out an interview in which he
differed radically from bis superior oiIi-
Ger regarding the payment Of che re.
ward for the return Of Merrilrs body.
He contends that the whole amount
offered for the capture and return Of
Merrill, 81 800, should be paid. SUPP
erintendent Lee offered Mrs. Waggoner
5000. Superintendent Lee declines TO
say anything regarding Mr.. James
statement, which is as follows:
"Since there is no doubt that the re-
covered remains are those of Merrill,
there should not be the slightest hesi-
tation on the part Of the state in the
prompt payment to Mrs. Waggoner OF
the entireamount named in the reward.
The state cannot afford to be niggardly
in this matter, because Of the unpleas-
ant reputation it will receive, in fact,
has already received throughout the
country in relation TO its treatment of
the criminal class. The effect ON the
discipline Of the penitentiary that re-
suited in the return to the institution
and the burial Of the remains Of one OF
the escaped desperadoes has in itself
been worth more than the amount OF
the reward.
There is a second, and even greater,
reason why the reward should be paid
Mrs. Waggoner--the failmeof the state
Of Oregon to promptly and literally re-
ward the return of Merrill's body has
discouraged many who have been pur-
suing Tracy, and the result is that large
numbers have entirely abandoned the
search for the remaining bandit, since
the hope of adequate reward has been
largely removed by the states tardy,
action in the consideration OF the claim
presented for the return Of MerrilI's
body.
Hence, for two distinct reasons, /
think Mrs. Waggoner is entitled to the
full rewards First, because she re-
turned MerrilPs body, and because OF
the beneficial effect resulting in the gem
eral discipline Of the institution; sec
ond, for the reason that by its action in
the matter the state is retarding the
search for Tracy. ! do not wish to be
understood as particularly criticising
the judgment Of my superiors, but at
the same time have my own opinions,
and do not hesitate to express myself
in the matter"

Violent Seismic Shocks In CaIifOrnls-PsOpIs
Warned TO Move.

Warned to Move.
Santa Barbara, CAL, Aug. 2 The
inhabitants OF the little town OF Los
Alamos, which has been the center Of
seismic disturbances during the past
four days, are tonight huddled around
q huge bonfire, waiting for daylight to
come. Many Of the residents have left
for places outside the tremor belt.
Those who have remained could not
we'll abandon their business. The town
Of Los AIamos is situated on the Pacific
Coast railway, midway between Santa
Ynez and Santa Maria, IN the long,
narrow valley Of the Los Alamos, Is
miles from the coast. 1t has about 800
population. The Los AIamos valley Is
from one-half to one mile wide. Its
population is about 500. There are no
brick buildings in the little village,
and the damage thus far 10 limited to
the ruin Of platter, the collapse Of
chimneys, the breaking Of erockery and
glassware, the falling of the walls Of
the Presbyterian church aud two store
buildings and the demolishing Of an old
adobe building which was seriously
damaged by the first quake. The dam
age will not exceed $4,000 in the
opinion of conservative residents OF the
place. There lie not a chimney left
standing in the town. One residence
was moved four inches and split in
opposite corners. Not building
escaped some injury, and it is consid-
cred miraculous that no one was hurt.
There was series OF light vibrations
during the day, which eliminated in
quite severe shock at 1880 P. NJ.
Fruther shocks are anticipated. The
most severe shock OF the entire series
occurred at 1:20 this morning, when
the hills were shaken and twisted to
their foundations and the valley trem-
bled and rolled like the surface Of the
ocean. Great assures were run in the
earth, hills appeared in level valleys,
springs Of water opened up in places
that hGd been dry, ard the general to-
Biography Of the valley was greatly
changed in many respects.
The disturbance bad no general direc-
ton, but was what is known as a
"twisteE." Il vas preceded by a
rumbling like that of distant thunder,
which increased until the earth began
to rock and twist and the hills began
to tremble. With the first warning Of
the sound of the approaching disaster
the terror-stricken people rushed into
the streets and sought places of safety
in vacant lots and fields, while many
hastened toward the neighboring hills

preceding disturbances in direction anC

twisted until it was impossible to stand
