Twenty Badly Injured.

ny ASSOCIATED PRESS.
Evansville, Ind, July z:-Seyen persons
fatally, is the outcome OF the race riots
that have caused reign of terror in this
city during the past four days.
At TO- 90 last night the Evansville com
pany OF Indiana National Guards assisted
by 200 special deputy sheriifs sworn in
curing the day, while guarding the coun-
ty Jail, in which were I8 negro prisoners,
poured a deadly volley of buckshot and
bullets into crowd of several thousand
persons led by a hundred armed rioters
which was pressing them back amid jeers,
accompanied by stones.
Bodies on the Ground.
When the smoke cleared away. seven
dead bodies lay on the ground. There is
contention as to who fred first, the SOL
diers or the rioters.
That the troops were fred on is proved
by the fact that among the wounded were
four members of the troops
The crowd, angered by the presence of
the soldiers guarding the prisoners, was
shouting its determination to again blow
open the Jail and secure the negroes.
For half hour or more the crash of the
mob against the line of soldiers had grown
worse. The soldiers had warned and the
citizens had begged the mob to disperse.
There were many personal encounters
as the rioters pressed the line. A stone
was thrown, soldier fell, bayonet was
thrust into the side Of cursing rioter and
an order to fire was given.
Over in Minute.
1t was all over in minute. The mob
scattered and disappeared. The dead and
wounded were taken to homes and hos
pitals and the line of soldiers was re-
formed. All night the troops stood around
the Jail, while inside the negro prisoners
prayed for mercy and protection.
At o'clock this morning. under orders
from Governor Durbin, the Vincennes
company of militia arrived and relieved the
Evansville troops, who lay down on the
courthouse yard and slept on their arms.
There was no demonstration when the
relief troops arrived. There were still sew
cral hundred persons cn the streets, but
no attack was made and the incoming
troops were not disturbed.
Negroes are leaving the city in large
numbers, and dozens of negro families are
campei in the country. Officials believe
there will, be no further outbreak although
the ut most vigilance will be maintained.

Operation Is Short.

This penetrated to the region where
the matter had accumulated, and by
means of suction slowly drew it off
Under the skillful guidance of Dr. Maz-
zoni the operation scarcely occupied more
than four minutes.
The pope manifested no pain whatever;
neither was there the slightest quiver of
moral dread from the operation.
In the language Of one Of the doctors,

pontin felt no more pain than slight
prick.
So soon as the liquid was drawn off by
the suction needle the patient felt great
relief, owing TO the removal Of the pres

simultaneously the doctors could hear the
air passing through one lung declared to

From a pathological standpoint the
passage of air was considered satisfactory

face in the benevolent way which Is char

AN ORDINARY BUSINESS DEMAND.

There are few survivors among
us who yet remember when the pres
ent struggling camp of Mineral, locat-
ed about 35 miles northwestof Weiser,
was very fourishing seat of mining
industry. This was in the days be-
fore the wise men of the east had
fully settled the question for the
plebian and provincial west that the
destruction Of one of our chief indus
2ifies was absolutely necessary to
curb our occidental aspirations and
incidently extract 'honest dollars"
out of our pockets, and put unearned
ducats in theirs; and in the further
ance of these financial plans the wise
men OF the east, fully alive to their
own interests, were ably assisted by
q western element, who assumed
and as yet seem to imagine, that their
financial effulgence was and is some
thing inherent, blandly unconscious
of the real fact that 1t is simply
reelection Owing to these conditions,
the good old camp, after a brave
effort in common with nearly all
other silver camps, gave up the
struggle. The miners lamps no
longer illuminated the tunnels or
drifts and silence and desertion
marked the place OF former life and
business activity. But the resources
of the bills had been discovered. and
the latent elements of wealth, only
lay waiting for the inevitable resur-
rection, and now after time OIL
weary waiting the dawn of better
day seems at hand. Other hands
have taken up the work where weary
ones laid it down, and, with brighter
prospects than ever, the old camp of
Mineral promises to again become
