EIGHT WERE KILLED
 IN MONTEREY RIOT
The Trouble Precipitated by Young
 Man Who Was Instantly Killed

Monterey, Mex, April 3.-YesterGay's riot which according to latest reports. resulted in the death of eight persons, two policemen and six civilians and the injury of twenty others, was due to po- litical capital being made out of the celebration of General Diaz's victory. There have been no further disturb ances. The cause oi the riot is direct ly attributable to the cry of Death to Reyes" which was raised gy young man said to be a student.
 No sooner had the cry been raised than a policeman who stood near drew his revolver and instantly killed the man, thus precipitating the trouble. The dead are: Camillio Villaneuva, a policeman: Apo!inio Partida, a police man: Jose Rocha, civilian: Ernesto Galvan, civilian; Guwiloupe Esqueda, civilian: Ancelmo Reina a young man who held q clerkship in one of the offices of Governor Reyes. The names of the other two killed cannot be learn ed The authorities have by prompt action. brought about quiet throughout the city and no further trouble is eX- pected to grow out of the affair. Full confidence is expressed in the ability of General Reyes to master the situation.

Colorado Springs, Colo, April 3.-The marriage of Winfield Scott Stratton and his brief welded life was told the jury in the trial of I. H. Stratton, his to break the millionaire's will in the district court today. The opening ad
 dresses to the jury were dramatic. A crowded courtroom listened to til. statements. Harry Stratton was seat ed at one end of the long table used by counsel. Senator Patterson fer the estate said that the issue from that standpoint is whether the vast estate shall be used for fulfilling the charita- ble purposes as outlined by the will CT if it shall be turned over to ''the pos session of young Stratton, to be by him squandered and dissipated."
 Attorney c. Waterman of the coun- sel for Harry Stratton said the issue of the contestant was whether the honor of the son and mother shall be maintained and made whole, or whetn- CT the cornerstone of the edifice for the poor mentioned in the will will be founded on their dishonor" He sketched Stratton's married life, say ing he had married Zura Stewart in Colorado Springs in July, 1876. The child Harry was born two months afterwards in Touion, Illinois, where the wife had been taken by Stratton and shortly afterwards deserted
Arizona republican., 1903-04-04

The attorney told how Stratton at the point of revolver had been forced to leave the room when quarreling with Mrs. Stratton, and recited other acts of cruelty. Two years afterward Stratton secured a divorce. Shortly after the marriage he had advertised the fact around Colorado Springs that his wife was enciente.
 The attorneys for the contestant will endeavor to prove that Stratton waa the boys father. Attorneys for the es- tate introduced Orville L. Dires, Will liam Lloyd and Dr. D. H. Rice, wit nesses to the will, to prove the proper execution of the will. Senator Wolcott for the contestant desired to cross ex- anime Dr. Rice, who was the family physician of the millionaire, as to the life and habits of Stratton. Attorney c. J. Hughes Jr. objected on the ground that the senator could only gs into these matters brought out in direct examination. The objection was sus- tained. Wolcott expressed surprise at the ruling by pleading with the court that he should be permitted to cross examine Dr. Rice in these matters as ;he physician was peculiarly in the po- sition 70 state if Stratton was of sound or of unsound mind. Witnesses will be called for the contestant at 9.30 o'clock tomorrow morning.

SHORT LIVED BOOM
 IN SOUTHERN PACIFIC
Based on False Rumor of kn Adjust.
 ment of the Quarrel.

New York, April 3.-The only loc1l feature of interest today in the Southern Pacific controversy was a sharp recovery in the shares in the last hour. The rally seemed based on reports that J. Pivrpont Morgan had consented to settle matters by taking over the Keene holdings. These re- ports were promptly denied in every authorita tive quarter, a member of the Morgan firm making this statement: There is TO truth whatever in the re- port that MT. Morgan or the firm of J. PierpCnt Morgan &S Go. has taken over from James E. Keene or T. J. Taylor &, Co. any Southern Pacific stock. We have no interest in the matter direct ly or indirectly, in any shape, manner or form.'
 This statement, it was added, holds good indefinitely. Dcnials no less posi- tive came from F. H. Harriman's office and the banking house of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. Almost 40,000 shares of Southern Pacific changed hands during the day, the bulk of the trading taking place during the rally in the afternoon. After selling down to 55A the stock ad- vanced to 607s and closed at 5S, net loss of B. Much of the selling during the morning session suggested forced liquidation.

DEATH OF DIVER
 4 YkQUI LEADER
Former Arizona Cowboy and
 Newspaper Correspondent
His Execution by Mexican Troops Often Reported and as Often Denied Is Described by the Herald of the City of Mexico.

Tucson, Ariz, April 3.-The Mexican Herald publishes report of the cap ture and execution of John Dyer, an Arizona cowboy and newspaper man, who is reputed to have recently pro- claimed himself leader of the Yaquis in Sonora. The capture was made by the Fourth battalion of Mexican regu- lars near Bacum, state of Sonora, ac- cording to the Herald, and he was inn mediately tried by court-martial and sentenced to be shot at daylight. Dyer completely broke down and offered to betray the secret plans of the Yaquiz and their whereabouts if his fife were spared. When the hour for the execu- ton arrived two Mexican soldiers had to drag Dyer from his tent to the exc cution.
 Dyer during his brief leadership O; the Yaquis earned the name of "E Renegade" on account of his alleged inhuman cruelty to Mexican women and white men. He is said to have hanged two Mexican women and one infant child in a public roadway fol carrying provisions to a detachment of Mexican troops. Jack Gleeson, ar American prospector, was caught by { band of Yaquis and taken to Dyer's camp, where, instead of receiving his release as he expected, the story zoe: that he was shot dead by Dyer him. self.
 Dyer was a for a time a newspaper correspondent at Caranea for mum Der of eastern and coast papers, and h, sent out many sensational stories Q alleged Yaqui uprisings. The capture and execution of Dyer has been sen out several times from various point! on the Mexican border, but never wa authenticated. While the latest stor! comes from a roundabout source, it i generally accepted here as true.

CHICAGO EXCHANGE
 MAY BREAK UP
The Agitation Over the Question of
 Puts and Calls.

Chicago. April 3.-As a result of the
 bitter fight that has sprung up in th5,
 Chicago board of trade over the ques-
 ton of puts and calls' evidence has
 been laid before the grand jury tending
 to prove that several of the most prom
 inent commission houses in the city
 have been guilty of bucket shop busi- ness and the jury has voted seven in dictmeEts. No bills have been returned
 as yet, and this step will not be taken before tomorrow when the seven meru- bers will be called upon to give bonds
 for their appearance in court.
 Among the men against whom indict- ments have been voted are members Of
 the leading and most wealthy commits sion houses in the city of Chicago. The
 dispute among the members of the
 board of trade regarding the question
 of puts and calls" has reached such a stage that 300 men, constituting ma- jority, declare that unless they shall
 secure what they wish in the way O. an amendment to pending legislation they will force through the legislature such a bill as will result In closing the doors of the board of trade. The 900 members have drafted an amendment to the law passed in 1874, which makes it a criminal offense to deal in grain for future delivery and such is still in effect. It thus prevents dealing in puts and calls" and the majority de- sires to deal in these

A Change in Food Can Do Wonders.
 When a change in food and drink will totally make over people it is worth while knowing the kind of food and drink used. particularly when in the making over, the old aches, ails and diseases are eliminated.
 A lady in Louisville, Neb., says: Husband and I were both coffee drinkers. He was always troubled with dyspepsia and I had in addition, too, stomach trouble, serious bowel disorder and was so terribly nervous that l would scream at the slightest noise.
 ''The pain in my stomach continued from morning till to o'clock in the afternoon I was so tired all the time and never could get rested, it was all I could do to drag about. My nervous ness kept increasing until finally the doctor said I must be taken to a diff ferent climate because I was getting weaker all the time, and then could hardly walk across the room.
 "I had read many testimonials of the good that Grape-Nuts and Postum Food Coffee were doing for people, bus never thought they applied to me. However my ever kind husband one night brought home a package of each. I had tried to quit coffee, but every time a terrible pain would come in my head after each meal.
 | II had no faith in your food and drink helping me. but to please hus- l band l tried the Food Coffee and the | Grape-Nuts. Postum satisfied my taste and I loved Grape Nuts breakfast | food with uOod cream

ANOTHER CREVASSE.
Serious Development of the Louisiana
 Flood Situati tion.

New Orelans, La, April S.-The most serious development of the flood situ- ation today was q break in the levee at Holy Broob plantation, owned by James J. Pittmen. The crevasse is about six miles below Lake Providence in East Carol parish. The levee probably was eighteen feet in height, and no attempt will be made to mend it. Efforts, how ever, will be made to hold ends. Much valuable cotton land will be overflowed, but the damage will be principally in the delay in getting seed into the ground.
 The crevasse is reported to be 800 feet wide. Parts of Tensas, Madison Concordia, Cathoula and Richmon parishes, in addition to East Carol will be submerged, the water ultimate ly returning to the Mississippi river through Red river.
 The work of strengthening the crib work at Hymelia was continued throughout the day. Nc sign of weak ness in the structure has yet appeared It is hoped that the break will be mended early next week.
