BADLY DIjFIGURED
IN SALOON ROW

William T. Metzgar, chief clerk in
the wholesale liquor house of MelinI
& Eakin, on South First street, was
the victim of a savage assault in the
Gold Star saloon in Old Albuquerque
last night and that he escaped with
his life seems a miracle, according to
his story.
Metzgar says he attended a dance
early in the evening in Society hall,
and on his way home stepped into the
Star saloon TO get a drink. Whlle
standing at the bar he was approached
by a man who cal ed him several vile
names without any pToyocatiun and
turning upon MIN Metzgar knocked
him down.
This seemed TO be the signal for a
general assault upon MetZgar as at
this junCture men commenced 10 pour
into the saloon from all directions
and it seemed as if everyone of them
hit him. He was slugged, kicked and
otherwise attacked.
During the melee, S. Gonzales, en-
p,cyed in the Sandoyal barber shop,
stepped in the saloon to take look
at the rough house. As he stuck his
head in the door he was greeted with
a blow on the nose that put him down
and out.
Metzgar came to Albuquerque and
had bis wounds dressed. They con-
sisted of cuts and bruises about the
head and face aud various bruises all
over his body. He was about the
streets today with his head in ban
dages, and although not seriously in
jured, his wounds are exceedingly
painful.
No arrests were made today, but
It is thought that several of the ring
leaders will be made to suffer for their
assault which Metzgar says was en-
tirely without proyOcatiOn.

New York. Oct. 81, = Several men,
bers of the party of Standard Oil of
ficials, who have recently made an in
spection of the Oklahoma-Indian Ter
ritory-Kansas oil fields, have returned
from their western trip. One of the
members of the party said they had
found oil in far greater quantities
than they had expected and would
give the producers an opportunity to
market their output. They would
build another pipe line from the Kan
sas-lndian Territory fields to Whiting,
Indiana, at cost of $3,000,000. With
the completion of the new pipe line
the Standard Oil company will have
expended $30000,000 in that field.

other ships of the armored cruiser di-

last evening and proceeded up the bay.
The opportunity of cruising with a

of her secondary battery, sending a
weight of metal that will sink any
thing that gets in its way.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 31.-The Rus
sian capital blossomed out with flags
and bunting today All OF the troops
were withdrawn from the streets and
the city presented a mo st normal ap-
pearance. The nervousness of the
people has suddenly disappeared.
Workmen by the thousands flocked
back to the shops and factories with
out waiting the permission of the
strike committee. The authorities did
all in their power to encourage the
spirit of rejoicing.
The social democrats, however, are
not satisfied, and warn the people not
to be tricked, but to keep up the
fight. Distrust of the movement is
deep-seated, and not until words are
translated into deeds. will confidence
in the government be restored.
Word from the provinces shows that
the strike is rapidly dlssolying in the
face of the proclamation.
Such Scenes Never Deamed of.
Before noon the celebration began
in earnest and the city appeared to
have gone mad. Suc1 scenes have
never before been witnessed in Rus,

the constraint of the crowds seemed
suddenly to have been replaced by IL
cense.
Red flags were in evidence. In
churches devout men and women on
bended knees before the image of St
Nicholas, the miracle-worker, rem
dered thanks for the blessing OF lib
erty, while on the corners of the
thronged streets orators harrangued
the populace.
The people assembled principally on
Nevsky Prospect. From Kazan cathe
dral to the town hall opposite Hote
De L'Europe traffic was blocked
Fully 10000 workmen were massed
there listening to student-orators VINO
delivered impassioned speeches. Red
iiage showed above the mass of cheer
ing humanity. The p0h Al kept in the
background, not even trying to keel
the streets open.
Demonstrators formed an immense
procession and marched through the
streets singing the Marseillaise, &
dozen red hammers inscribed with the
word, "svoboda," meaning liberty
were carried at the head of the pa
rade.

newspapers and asked their aid and
cooperation in restoring normal con-

putting the new administration on a
solid and acceptable footing, but
while the railroad strike prevented
their arrival. he was forced to rely
on the sober sense Of the St. Peters
burg press, without whose assistance
in calming the public, the govern
meut could do nothing positive, and
would be obliged 10 content itself
with negative and even re1ctionary
measures

BURLINGTON STEALS MARCH
ON SOUTHERN PACIFIC.

Omaha, Neb., OCT 3l.-The ON

greatly worked up over the clever
manner in which the Burlington has
stolen a march on the Union Pacific,
by starting the construction OF a new
line to Salt Lake City, which will be
supplemented by a large number OF
feeders. This expansion OF the Bur
ington will undoubtedly cause CON
siderable stir among western rail-
roads, and It is believed in well in
formed circles that it will lead to the
construction of at least $500 miles
