Proposed Riot Defeated,

According to a secret circular Just
sent out to all its committees by the
bund, fresh program. or riot against
the promoters of the reform agitation
was to have broken out last Sunday
at Dvinsk, but it was partially de.
feated by the prompt precautions of
the local self defense organization
The circular states that it can be prov
ed that the assistant pristaf of Dvinsk,
one Grusinsky, actively supervised the
preparations for the pogrom. and en-
ployed policemen in beating up re-
cruits. Belopolsky. the notorious
"black hundred" chieftain, was invt.
ed to the town, and it was arranged
with him that large number of his
most experienced Hoolgans and row.
dies should be brought to Dvinsk at
so much head. This is believed to
be the way in which the bureaucracy
is now trying to strike at the roots
OF the constitution agitation, for it
is needless to say that if the revorl-
tiOnary proletariat can be terrorized
the liberal Zemstvoists will hold meet
ings and draft petitions in vain.

who fought shoulder to shoulder with
them.

Jeremiah McNett Gives Authorities
Further Trouble.

Jeremiah McNett, the aged Wallu-
Ian, who underwent an examination for
insanity Tuesday and was afterward
taken to his home at Wallula to be
cared for, is giving the authorities
further trouble by his eccentricities.
Deputy Nave at Wallula telephOned
the sheriff's office this morning that
the old man had proceeded to raise
Cain yesterday, after driving his son
and family from home. The Old man
will be brought to Walla Walla to-
night and will in all probability be
taken to the Medical Lake asylum.
He gave unmistakable evidence of be-
ing deranged when examined a few
days ago by Doctors E. E. Shaw and
William Van Patten, but owing to mis-
physical infirmities, it was deemed I'M
wise to commit him to the asylum and
he was returned home to be cared for
by his family. Everything went we'll
until yesterday, when the old man be-
came enraged at some trif1ing matter
and chased the family from home. 1t

neighbors to quiet the old man.
