MOB RUNS RIOT
ON RACE TRACK
Faulty Start Inhames
Spectators to Pitch
Of Anger.
Bayonet Charge by Troops
Necessary to. Quell the
Disturbance.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

MAREILLES, Jan. S.-A riot ending IN
bayonet charge occurred at the race
course here to-day. In the race for the
Prix de Frioul three horses were left at
the post and anotheN one stopped after
running a few yards, leaving only three
competitors. AS soon as the race was
finished the onlookers, in state of furi-
Gus Indignation, threw down the barriers
and swarmed into the ipcIosure, smash
ing everything that could be broken.
The mob finally invaded the weighing
room and demanded that the Paris Mu-
tuaI officials return the money wagered
on the horses which did not run. The
police were overwhelmed and summoned
troops The latter on their arrival were
ordered to clear the course. This was
done with fixed bayonets.
The race committee Immediately met
and fined four jockeys who did not get
away 800 for missing the start They
also suspended one OF the riders for three
months. The announcement of the pen
alties somewhat appeased the mob, but
when next the race was called the starter
had to be escorted to his post by armed
soldiers and police

NORTHERN PACIFIC LOSES
HEAVILY BY BLOCKADE
Main Line Through the Cascade
Mountains Is Still Closed to
Traffic


TACOMA, Wash, Jan. s-The storm
blockade Of the past week will have cost
the Northern Pacific and Great Northern
railways a million dollars before both
roads and their branch lines are entirely
open for business by the latter part Of
next week. The loss falls most heavily
on the Northern Pacific, as its main line
has been closed to traffic through the
Cascade Mountains since New Years
night and cannot possibly be opened for
another week. Night and day crews Of
workmen with pile-drivers are at work
al both ends Of the washed-out sections
along the Green River in Eagle Gorge
Canyon. Their progress is slow, as i'm
mense avalanches of mud must be moved
before the tracks can be relaid along the
bank of the river.

BEGINNING OF STRIFE.

Yesterday morning a delegation of three
men. Bill Carrothers, Frank Wolf and
NJ Parker, called at Traylor's home at
Ely and presented an utimatum, to be
signed and agreed to within twelve hours
TTaylOr Immediately took a buggy and
started for the mines, few miles west
Of Ely. On arriving at Lane City, four
miles away, he was halted by q mob Of
miners. who. after some talk, allowed him
to proceed. Traylor then proceeded to
Keystone, where a smelter and concen-
traitor is being erected and telephoned
from the company's office to Sheriff G.
F. Newman and District Attorney Walker
asking protection.
President Lloyd Of the Miners Union, il
is charged. sent a committee Of miners
into the office to order Traylor to come
out and surrender. finally going IN him
self and directing matters. Traylor talked
with Lloyd for some time, calling atten-
ton to the fact that the Twelve hours al
lowed in the ultimatum had not expired.
Lloyd said that that had nothing to do
with the case, that he had another mat
ter TO settle and that Traylor must sign
a new scale of wages at once. The COM
mittee then asked him to go along quietly,
or they would be compelled to take him
dead or alive, and Johnson, one OF the
miners committee, remarked that they
expected trouble, but were ready for il.
BATTLE IN AN OFFICE.
Traylor endeavored to argue with the
men, but Lloyd ordered his companions
to seize the superintendent and bring him
along Ten of the men started for Tray
lor, who grabbed a gun and commenced
shooting. At the first shot the miners
made a dash for the door. The men that
were killed were those who had grabbed
Traylor and were trying to overpower
him. Their names are: James Stages,
Sam Johnson and J. Smith. The names Of
the three wounded men are not given.
After the shooting Traylor went to Ely
by a roundabout route, the main road
down the canyon in the vicinity Of Lane
City being patroled by armed strikers.
On his arrival at Ely Traylor surrendered
to Sheriff Newman.
Excitement was at fever heat and II
was deemed best to get Traylor and his
companion. J. X. Gaskell, who was a wit
ness to the shooting, but took no part in
it, out of town A citizens committee
was organized and sworn in as deputy
sheriffs and any attempt to have taken
Traylor from the Sheriff would have been
the signal for a general battle between
the miners and the citizens. Traylor and
Gaskell were escorted out of town by
Sheriff Newman and reached the South
ern Pacific this afternoon
The general sentiment among the con-
servative element of Ely is that Traylor
was entirely justified in doing what he
did. Much commentator is given Sheriff
Newman for the decided stand he took
for the protection of Traylor. With less
positive action on his part it is believed
Traylor would not have escaped alive.

DUEL TO THE DEATH
M. O. ONES KILLS JAMES GIvv-
 HAN AT PRATTVILLE.
The Two Men Had Quarreled Over a Business Transaction-Both Well Known Citizens of Autauga
 County.

Prattsviile, July 27.--(SpeciaD.- D.-Maury o. Jones shot and instantly killed James Givhan at the Cotton Oil Mill at Il o'clock this morning. He immediately surrendered to Deputy Sheriff w. J. Bozeman, and is in custody till he can have a preliminary trial, tomorrow or next day.
 Jones is well connected in this county, and was employed by W. W. Dunkin in looking after the shipping of lumber from the various mills, the product of all which Dunkin sold on commission. or bought straight out. Givhan was man. ager of a lumber mill near by and Dun kin handled a portion of the product of this mill. Last Saturday morning the two men became involved in a personal dispute concerning some lumber to be shipped. and Givhan used abusive lan- guage to Jones. At the time there was some demonstration as to violence, but Givhan drove away in his buggy which ended the trouble for the time.
 This morning Jones started down town. As he left the office the two men came face to face. Jones asked Givhan to apologize for the abusive language used towards him last Saturday. No sooner was the request made, so witnesses say. than Givhan drew his 41-calibre Colts. and began firing upon Jones. Jones ran In the back door or the office or the Cotton oil Mill, and came out with a double-barrel shot gun and opened fire on Givhan with the result indicated above. Givhan was in his buggy when the fatal shot was fired. He fell out and expired instantly. His left side was literally torn to pieces with buck shot. The remains were taken in charge by ea undertaken and were shipped by the aft ernoon train to Montgomery for burial.
 James Givhan was the adopted son of the late Fox Mauli. and was the mana ger of the mill owned by Miss Maull of Montgomery. He had made a success of the mill business. and was understood to be ordinarily agreeable in a business transaction.
 Maury o. Jones Is we'll known busi- ness man of this place, having come here from Lowndes county where he was rear ed. He has been here three or four years.
 Both these young men were known to be game" but were also vry quiet till occasion stirred them to action. Givhan is quoted as having made the statement yesterday that if Jones did not take up the matter with him to-day, he, Civ han, would have to go to him and make an apology for what had been said Sat- urday. This statement was not com municated to Jones.

 Friends of hls deny that he was the aggressor in the unfortunate difficulty. They claim that he did not fire the first shot and only fircA when he had been desperately wounded.

CALLAHAN RECAPTURED.
Police Were Confident He Would Soon
 Be Caught. /

New York. July 27.-when Matthew Callahan escaped from the Tombs prison together with Robert Booth, June g. the authorities did not feel much alarmed. for they knew he would fall into the hands of the police before long. To-day Calla- han is back In prison with long term of imprisonment before him.
 He owes his recapture to his violent temper and his desire to make matters unpleasant for his wife and children whenever in the mood.
 Officers of the West Sixty-eighth street station were surprised by a woman who rushed in and asked for protection from her husband who was threatening to burn their home. She added that he re- gently escaped from prison.
 When two policemen reached the house they found the children in the hallway. weeping. Callahan was found under the bed. When he was pulled out he made determined resistance, but was sub dued and identified later by the Tombs officials. His escape from the city prison was comparatively easy, because he and Booth were "trusties," but his sentence is sure to be greatly heightened from the original six months.
