A WILD RIDE
And Building Burned Near the
Worlds Fair.
Bull Fight Advertised but Stopped and
Crowd Demanded Money.
Being Refused They Burn the Arena
Four Arrests.

st. Louis, June Unlicensed over theil
failure to see q genuine Spanish bull
fight which the authorities had Or
dered stopped, Il riot was started in an
arena near the Worlds Fair grounds
this evening, by crowd of $500 men
and boys, who were unable to get
their money back and the building was
burned to the ground. The price of adj
mission charged was one dollar, Four
men We're placed under arrest by the
authorities of st. Louis county, charg-
ed with destruction of property. The
crowd, thinking these men were con-
nected with the show, made an at
tempt to mob them and in their en-
counter with the deputy sheriffs a
number We're roughly handled and
some received scalp wounds. The build
ing is said to have cost $500. 1t is a
total loss.
The initial performance by the COM
pany Of Spanish bull-fighters had been
advertised widely for today, but Gov.
Dockery, to whom numerous protests
had been made by religious and HUI
name societies, ordered that it should
not be allowed to take place.
Despite these orders a large crowd
assembled in the arena at the adver-
tised time of opening. Before the regu-
lar performance q number of cowboys
drove in some bulls. which they ran
style. The crowd soon became tired of
this and called for the bull-fght.
The announcement was then made
that the bull fight would be proceeded
with. AS the matadors came into the
ring a county official stepped up to the
announcer and handed him paper in
forming him that the proposed show
could not take place. When this be-
came known to the crowd they leaped
into the arena and demanded the re-
turn of their money.
Failing TO get this the crowd went
to the Office which was located in a
small building outside the arena and
began to stone the structure. This was
followed by attempts to burn the
arena, which is an immense building,
constructed in pine. Bits of burning
paper were thrown at the woodwork
and finally some one went inside and
dropped a lighted match in a pile of
hay under the arena. The whole struc-
ture was soon on fire and before long
was in ruins.
A call was made for the fire depart
ment. but the single engine that re-
spOnded stuck i'm the mud and there
was nothing to stop the progress of
the flames. The fire department of the
Worlds Fair was called out to protect
tho F.XpOSitiOn buildings should it be-
come necessary. but as the wind blew
in another direction there was no
danger.

BRING GOOD NEWS
Gen. StoesseI Sends Carrier Pigeons
from Port Arthur. -

New Chwang, June 5.-(Sunday morn
ing)--Two carrier pigeons arrived here.
yesterday noon, from General Stoessel,
at Port Arthur. The Russians will not
divulge the messages carried by the
birds. but declare they contain good
information and are very cheerful since
the pigeons arrived.
An Associated Press messenger from
the north reports that the magistrates
of Hal Cheng and Lao Yang were re-
Gently arrested by Russians and
charged with furnishing supplies and
information to the enemy. They were
taken to Mukden, but released after
an investigation. Influential natives
declare that the arrests were made not
because the Russians believed they
could prove the charges but because
the magistrates were non-committal
and refused to aid either side.
The Russians are printing q news
paper in Chinese at Mukden for the
purpose of influencing the natives. The
latest copy received at New Chwang
says that the Japanese attempted to
float second loan in America Tor g..
100000. but was coldly rejected. Other
contents Of the paper explain that the
Russian loss in the Yalu battle was
due to the spreponderance OF Japanese
cavalry and says also that the Rus
SLAMS will soon dictate peace terms In
Toxic and that the leading Japanese
statesmen will be reduced to Ricksga
coolies. &c.

st. Louis, Mo-. June Sit is
strange" declared Judge Taylor, that
jury cannot try a woman defendant
as impartially as it can man. 1t is
pity that sickening Irritation between
jurors and the defendant in criminal
case has the power in this court to de-
feat the ends of justice"
The statement followed the an
nouncement Of a jury that it had
found Maude Williams not guilty of a
charge of grand larceny. Judge Tay-
loy's rebuke followed a scathingly sar-
castle speech of thanks by Assistant
Circuit Attorney G. Orrick Bishop.
Gentlemen of the jury he said, Il
thank you for your verdict. / thank you
in the name of all that is lawless and
shameless in crime and criminals. l
thank you for the discriminating taste
you have shown-for the high order of
citizenship which you have displayed-in
being influenced in your verdict by pref

Of openwork stockings. You are a credit

day Before Grand Jury.

Boston, June 5.-Charles L. fuckers
father, mother and brother have been
summoned to testify before the grand
jury at East Cambridge, tomorrow
Whether they will respond is a ques-
ton. as they will not say what their
attitude toward this unusual proceed
ing will be. Their attendance can be
compelled, however.
The purpose of the action of the dis
trict attorney is believed to be the
hope that fuckers parents may iden-
tify before the grand jury a mysteri-
Gus big pieces of evidence" alleged to
have been left behind by the murderer
Of Mabl Page, as having belonged to
their son.
District Attorney Sanderson has used
dragnet in gathering witnesses to
testify in the grand jury investigation
of the murder Of Mabel Page, and he
has taken extraordinary measures to
compel the near relatives of the young
man accused of the crime to give what
evidence they may have which may be
construed as testimony against him.
