Monday night, and when the Harlem
club selected its night without con
sulting them in the matter, the Blu
Islanders matched John Willie and
Mike Schreck TO battle on the same
night This naturally set the pot 2
boiling. and now there is war TO the
knife, and knife to the hilt.
1t is a bad state of affairs. as one

support two clubs with fights staged
on the same night. Unfortunately
both clubs have secured good attrac

young wife who tires her irresponsible
husband with too affectionate demon

of the husband is a prominent figure.
A reconciliation follows the separa-

WOULD DRIVE ROCK CRUSHER
FROM THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD

The members of the Fairmount De-
fensive Association - citizens and
property owners of the Noe Valley
district-held a spirited meeting last
night at Rolando's Hall, Twenty
eighth and Castro streets. for the pur-
pose OF condemning the offensive
rock-crusher now operated by Gray
Brothers in the Noe Valley.
The protest of the citizens will
come up before Mayor Schmitz to-day
and they are doing all in their power
to have the Mayor abolish the
nuisance. He previously vetoed the
ordinance. and should he take similar
action to-day and be upheld by the
Supervisors, the residents of the Noe
Valley say they will appeal to the
Merchants Association for relief.
A lengthy set of resolutions con-
demning the rock crusher and asking
all residents of the district to work
for its abolition was unanimously
passed. A delegation from the asso-
citation will be present when the ques-
ton comes UP before &he Supervisors

Torrent of Water Ten Feet in
Depth Rushes Through the
Streets of Fort Scott and
Does Immense Damage
HUNDREDS RESCUED
WITH DIFFICULTY
Residents Are Forced to Flee
From Their Homes and the
Flood Leaves a Large
Number Without Shelter

FORT SCOTT, Kans., April 24.-Fort
Scott is experiencing the most serious
flood in it's history. Marmaton River
and Mill Creek, which runs into the
former stream here, have risen ten feet
in the past twenty-four hours, the re-
suit of heavy rains. Several hundred
persons have been rescued in boats. AS
far as known tonight no lives have
been lost. The estimated loss in live
stock drowned and property damaged
is 100000.
The two streams began to rise at 10
o'clock last night, and to-day the city
was divided into three sections and al
most completely isolated. Normally
Mill Creek runs into the Marmaton
River northeast of the city, but be-
cause of the rapid rise they formed a
new channel that cut across one end
of the city. Tonight the entire north
ern part of the city is cut off and part
of the city is inundated. Ten feet of
water is rushing through the streets in
that part of the city, and several hun
dred persons in what is known as Bell
town have been forced to leave their
homes. Many were taken away in
boats.
There were several narrow escapes
couple named Lemore living a mile
north of the city near the river were
rescued in boats. They were completely
hemmed in. RescuerS were out all to-
day under the direction of Fire Chief
Ausman. Mayor Congdon and Chief of
Police Mendenhall, and they succeeded
in saving thousands of dollars worth of
property, as we'll as the hundreds of
inha bitants of that district.
ManU Uhn rof1ISod fn leave RplIfOwn
boats, as all avenues of escape have
been cut off.
The gas works is three feet under
water and has closed down. The en-
gine and pumps at the water station
are twenty feet under water. The
Southwestern Wholesale Grocery Com
pany's warehouse is flooded and the
water has reached the Office. The
wholesale district is completely sur
rounded and merchants are removing
their stocks of goods. All the railroads
are tied up, bridges being threatened
and tracks covered. Washouts are re-
ported in all directions. In the low
farming lands the water is from five to
ten feet deep, and much stock has been
drowned and heavy damage to prop
erty caused. 1t is estimated that 300
persons are homeless.
The storm is unprecedented in this
part of the State. The rain has fallen
necessarily since last night and it is
still raining tonight, with no imme-
diate prospect of cessation. 1t is esti-
mated that eight inches of water has
fallen.

MurderOuS Stranger Is Sup

From an American Jail
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN DIEGO. April PA strange
story of a suspected fugitive from the
justice of some American court comes
from Ensenada- The story is that
Felipe Crosthwaite Jr. and Vincente
MacHada met an armed man near
Guadalupe and were fired upon by him.
Their asssilant had two revolvers and
a rife.
About a week ago Juan Marion and
seven other Mexicans, while going up
a hill near the Treate Valley, met the
same man and were held up by him.
The Treate Valley is just beyond the
boundary line, east of Tia Juana. Dur
ing the three or four days between the
meetings the man had travelled close
to forty-five miles. The Mexicans who
were held up a week ago were simply
ordered to turn back. The man had a
small shoddy blanket, pieces of which
he had used on his feet TO cover his
tracks The MeXicans claim that he
has killed cattle belonging to the Mata-
janal ranch and cured the meat with
out salt by drying it. He has no cook
ing utensils and had lived upon the
dried meat. 1t is claimed by some that
he has been in Lower California at
least a month.

ACTION OF AXEXIEFF
CAUSES DEPRESSION

LONDON, April 24-The Stock Ex-
change last week experienced a check
TO the recent abnormal growth Of con-
fidence, mainly through the depression
on the Paris bourse. which was caused
by Niceroy AleXieff's desire TO resign
his post IN the Far East and by revela-
ton that RUssia's financial resources
for the carrying on Of the war were
less extensive than had been reported.
Paris operators apparently interpreted
he action Of Niceroy Alexieff. follow
bng the death OF Vice Admiral Max
arOf, as a bad sign for Russian pros
poets IN the Far East, and Russian
bonds suffered accordingly.
There even was talk among fnan-
ciers Of the possibility Of AlexieR' S
disappearance from the theater Of war,
paving the way for peace negotiations.
While there was no serious decline in
prices, the tone OF all the markets was
rather dull with little business doing.
Americans were irregular.
