A REIGN OF TERROR.
The Tartars Are Numbering and Burn.
ina Around Raku,

st. Petersburg, Sept. 1.-THE news
from Baku received up to the time
of the filing of this dispatch is of
the gloomiest character. The Armen-
ian and Tartar warning factions now
appear to be entirely beyond control.
The streets Of Baku seem to be un.
safe for the inhabitants, and the force
of troops is inadequate to restrain
the maniacal tendencies of the com.
batants in the surrounding region
According to reliable reports, the
troops have been forced to withdraw
from the suburb of Balakhan, where
Tuesday the rioters set fire to the oil
works, and that place is now in the
hands of the Tartars, who completed
the work of destruction, and who, IT
is said, massacred the inhabitants
who did not accompany the troops in
their retirement. Telephone and
railroad communication between Baku
and the suburban oil centers is cut,
and late last night it was reported
that the wires into Baku were down.
The Viceroy of the Caucasus has
dispatched reinforcements of troops
from Tiflis, but owing to the condi-
tiOns throughout the whole of the
southern part of the Caucasus with
these reinfOrcements the troops will
be inadequate to cope with the situa-
ton. In the suburban region the
fight is desperate, and the soldiers
are using artillery.
Representatives of the oil industry
here are utterly despondent and they
declare that on the basis of the tele-
grams so far received more than half
of the industry in the Baku region
has been wiped out. and that the fire
is making rapid ,inroads into the re-
mainder of the oil territory.
The Baku representative Of very
prominent company has teleg-aphed
to his st. Petersburg headquarters
as follows:
"It is no longer a question of saw
ing our property, but one Of getting
out alive"

countryside from Avan Beach to Lor.
ain for three days, is dead by his own
hands. He shot himself in the head
today in full view of the band of arm

and sank dead upon the ground.
The three days in which he ran
amuck through territory miles in
extent, firing upon men, women and
children, burning farm houses and
driving the population from their
homes to places of safety in the city,
marked one of the strangest and most
sensational episodes in the history
of the county. Friday night 500 mea
patrolled the high roads waiting for
Pitts, their guns cooked and loaded.
The climax came when the word was
received from Pitts, still armed an6

fathers home at French creek. Thlth-
er posse of 100 men galloped with

saw Pitts distinctly and then they
formed, ready to fire. He turned,
watched the squad a moment, drew
his revolver, vaulted fence and

AND WOOL INTERESTS OF THE GREAT JUDITH COUNTRY

cats hang as scalps to his belt.
A hunting party consisting of Cap-
tain Bullock, his son Stanley, Kermit
Roosevelt and Paul Martin, son of
Congressman Martin. returned today
from trip through the mountains
and plains of the north. Three hun
dred and fifty miles were traversed in
ten days by the lads on horseback.
Plucky little riders they proved, nev-
er noticing hardships, and of untir.
ing energy
The great event took place on the
fifth day out. when Captain Bullocs
and Kermit stalked a small brown
bear, which was raspberrying on a
mountain side. Kermit's skill with
his rifle stood him in good stead, and
his nerve never tagged. The wild
cats proved easy prey.
The last few days were spent wit.
Messing roundup on "3 V" ranch
the largest cattle ranch near Belle
Fourche, forty miles from Deadwood.
There the party saw hundreds of cat
tie being rounded up for the ranges.
Young Roosevelt was very enthusi-
astic. He is born hunter. Martin
is also good hunter and a fine shot.
They are two of the best boys
in the world, and splendid little hunt
ers, too said Captain Bullock to-
day. "They never get tired. and the
trip was a pretty strenuous one"
1T was the best time ever had in
my life," said Kermit Il am coming

TUBBS IS IN
COUNTY JAIL
SHERIFF L. p. SLATER ARRIVES
FROM BILLINGS WITH HIS
PRISONER.

Sheriff l.. p. Slater arrived from
Billings on last evenings train, hav-
ing in custody Ed. J. Tubbs, who is
suspected of being implicated in the
murder of Samuel Studzinski and one
Parent, better known as "Frenchy,"
who was with Tubbs at the time he
was arrested by Sheriff Adams in
Yellowstone county. There are prac-
tically no new developments in con-
nectiOn with the three men now held
at the county Jail on suspicion.
Tubbs effects were carefully search
ed, and Sheriff Slater has some few
articles that may POSSIBLY have a
bearing on the case, and this will be
carefully investigated at once. Tubbs
states that he left here for the pur.
pose of going to Junction to see about
getting contract for the erection
of warehouse to be built there by
Scott Bros. However, he had only
been in Junction short time when
telegram relating to the Studzinski
murder, intended for the sheriff, was
received, and he left almost immedi.
ately and was headed for Billings
when arrested. He asserts that he
knows nothing whatever about the
terrible crime. and in general way,
assumes exactly the same position
as that taken by Coyle and Dennison.
Sheriff Meets Mrs. Tubbs.
Sheriff Slater met Mrs. Tubbs on
his return to this city. She boarded
the train at one of the stations, and
rode on as far as Livingston. Upon
leaving Lewistown several days ahead
of Tubbs' she went direct to Billings
where her mother resides. She treat
ed her husband affectiOnately, and
told Sheriff Slater that some days
prior to the murder, and at various
times, she had seen a Chinaman lott
ering around StudZinskis place. This
Chinaman, according to the woman's
story, seemed to have become well
acquainted with the Old man. and she
advanced the theory that Studzinsk
was murdered by the celestial.
A number of persons were at the
depot when the train pulled in last
night to get look at Tubbs, who
seemed in no way abashed.
Now that the three men sough1
are all in Jail. the officers will bt
free to devote their time to checking
up all the clews they have. and Il
is expected that a conclusion will yer!
soon be reached as to whether or no
the right men have been caught.

Killing Jews at kishinefs.

ST. Petersburg. Sept. 7.-Private
advices from Kishineff says that street
fighting continues there. Roughs are
sacking Jewish shops, killing or
wounding many of the inmates. It
is said that more than a score of sol.
diers have been killed.
The Jewish selfdefense committee
is active in organizing resistance to
the troops.

GETTING READY
FOR THE FAIR
DIRECTORS HOLD A MEETING
RACES WILL BE FlNE-PRE.
PAIRING EXHIBITS.

The directors of the Fergus Coun.
fy Fair association held a meeting
last evening and carefully considered
the proposition of employing the :4th
infantry band for the fair. With
the various items of expense which
this attraction would entail, it was
found that the plan was impractical
BILE. as the total cost footed up over
5000. The fee asked by the band
for their services is only $500, but
owing to the distance the musicians
would have to travel, the transporta-
tion charges make large sum, and
the board bills and other necessary
items of expense that caring for 81
men would entail make it impossible
to secure this fine organization. The
directors will, however, engage some
other attraction to complete the pro-
gram.
Cowboys Relay Race.
Interest in the cowboys relay race
is just as keen as ever, and the en-
tries are now coming in. The direct
ors have provided a very liberal purse
for this event. and it promises to be
the most exciting relay race run in
Montana this year, not excepting that
at the state fair.
Getting Exhibits Ready.
The farmers, stock growers, and
others are getting their exhibits in
shape. and the display will unques'
tionably be the finest ever shown
here. There will be greater variety
than ever before, too, and in the
women's and youths departments
very creditable displays are expected
The general racing program will
give admirers of this sport chance
to see the speediest horses in this
section of the state. The gallopers
as we'll as the trotters and PAGERS
will be we'll represented.

The Curfew Bell.
Marshal Burke stated that it was
not possible to ring the curfew bell,
as the fire bell was not arranged, and
this made it very difficult to enforce
the curfew ordinance. Youngsters
gathered about the streets, and when
spoken to, said they were waiting to
hear the bell before going home. It
was decided to utilize the small bell
at the corner of Main street and Fifth
avenue for this purpose.
How "scotty" Keeps Drunk.
Considerable time was devoted to
one "Scotty," and to consideration OF
plans for keeping him sober. It ap-
pears that "Scotty" has been making
life one grand, sweet drunk for many
weeks past, and incidentally has made
himself a nuisance to the neighbor-
hood in which he resides, as well as
to the community at large. It was
finally decided that every saloon in
the city should be notified by the
marshal that they would be prosecuted
to the full extent of the law, "and
then some," if they furnished this
subject for the Keeley cure with IL
quor, and this plan will be followed
in any similar case that may come
up.
The matter of constructing the pro-
posed new bridge near the Judith
basin mill was discussed informally,
but no further action was taken with
regard to it.
