SHOOTING SCRAPE BETWEEN
COLORED MEN AT E,NERYVILLE
Sam Davis Puts Two Bullet Holes In
Steve Washington and Then
Makes EScaDe

OAKLAND, March IA. - Steve
Washington, a colored groom at the
race track, was shot tonight by Sam
Davis and now lies in a precarious
condition at the Receiving Hospital.
The shooting took place in the Old
England saloon at Emeryville. Wash
ington and colored man named
Bance Powell were having a heated
discussion, when Davis engaged in the
row and brought it to a close by firing
two shots at Washington. Both took
effect, one bullet making an ugly
wound in his liver and the other en-
tering his left breast. Jesse Hill tried
to arrest Davis, but Davis turned the
gun on him and then started to run
away.
Deputy Town Marshal T. Brown ap-
peared upon the scene at this juno
ture and the whole crowd joined in a
hot chase after the murderous negro,
Brown firing five shots after him.
Davis escaped and it is not known
whether he was hit or not

He tells me that all these reservists
will become splendid hardened soldiers
a fortnight after reaching the front.
AT Irkutsk we met the victims OF
the war-children and women trying to
get back to European Russia. On our
entrance into the semi darkness OF the
station we were greeted by the wailing
OF children issuing from the dirt heaps
and baggage incumbering the hoor.
Their waxen faces and bloodshot.
sleepless eyes would melt a heart OF
stone. The wild, panic stricken flight
OF their mothers from Manchuria after
the startling outbreak Of the war led
to great sufferings. They reached this
place after untold hardships, only to
find that they will have to wait weeks
more until there is sufficient train ac-
