persons were killed and a score injured
in Laredo and New Laredo by tornado
that tore through the city late last
night. Sixteen were killed here. Ru-
mors of many others killed in places
outside of Laredo are heard, but as yet
they lack confirmation. Property
damage is large. Four of the dead
were members of one family and were
working on the ranch of George Wood
man. They were all crushed to death
by the falling in of the heavy walls of
the adobe house they occupied. The
others met their fate in like manner.
The damage wrought at the Laredo
seminary is severe. Not one of the
group Of buildings that go to make up
the institution escaped damage. The
escape from death OF the teachers at
present quartered in the institution is

The Dalles - The wool situation in

SCENE OF CARNAGE.
Warsaw Troops Shoot Down Nearly
One Hundred Persons.

Warsaw, May 2.-Nearly 100 persons
were killed or wounded in disturbances
in various quarters of Warsaw yester-
day. The troops, apparently, were un-
controllable and violated all orders to
act with moderation. They fred into
the crowd of demonstrators, and work
men in desperation resorted to the use
of firearms and bombs. Many children
and women are among the dead and
dying.
What approaches reign of terror
exists today; the city presents most
gloomy aspect, and the temper of the
entire community augurs i'll. The
presence of numerous patrols of Cossack
cavalry and infantry is the only re-

The chief cause for the increased bel

their places and 500 more are said to
be now on the way and will arrive
within IL hours. These men will re-
ceive the full pay of union men and it
has been guaranteed to them that their
positions will be permanent. Among
them are 200 farmer boys from the sur
rounding states who have volunteered
their services and sought positions as
drivers.
Tomorrow Winchester rifles will be
carried on all wagons of the Employers
Teaming association in open view. A
number of nonunion men have been ar
rested on the charge of carrying con-
cealed weapons and today the attorneys
for the Employers leaning association
called upon Chief of Police O'Neil and
asked him if their men had not the
right to carry weapons provided they
were held in open view and were not
concealed. Chief O'Neil replied that
there was no. law against it and ar.
rangements were promptly made by the
employers to place Winchester rifles or
every one of the wagons.

ANOTHER SNAP OF SNOW HILL TEAM.
Showing pitcher. picture

The game here last Friday started
out as slugging match. Pocomoke
was first to bat and landed run be-
cause of an error, but the boys got wise
and stopped the scoring at that point of
the proceedings. Snow Hills first time
at the bat brought forth goose egg in
quick order and things looked rather
blue for Snow Hill when Pocomoke
batted Robinson for 6 runs in the second
inning and the score was Z to in their
favor. When the Snow Hill team went
to bat in the second inning they braced
up and began pounding Smith. Every
body got on to him, and Snow Hill
scored 6 runs.
Snow Hill took Robinson out of the
box, as his arm was in bad condition, he
having been soaked with rain the day
before. and Westcott pitched the re-
mainder of the game, holding Pocomoke
down. The visitors took Smith out in
the I'd inning and Burris pitched the re-
manning seven. He showed good speed
and the Snow Hill batting fell off. Af-
ter the Sd inning the game was better
played, only runs being scored by both
teams: by Snow Hill and by POGO
moke. The tabulated score is as follows:

On The Diamond.

Kite can put the ball to second base
in great shape. No use trying to run
down on Kite. He is in the game at
all stages.
Robinson is good little pitcher and
showed up fine in his first game at Po-
comoke City.
Ritter goes to the bat with grim
determination to smite the ball and he
usually does it. No use to bat any balls
in his field, either. He's as sure as
death to catch you.
Well. Long John Burroughs gathers
them in if they come anywhere in his
neighborhood. A good first baseman.
Keller is improving in his batting and
did some good slugging last Friday.
Capern redeemed his error of a
tumble by knocking ball over the
fence the very next time he went to
the bat

plenty of confidence and head for the
game.
Pocomoke has a good attendance at
home games, and DIR. Willis is good
financial manager.
Black is great ball player He is

Eddy never gets lost.
Westcott not only pitches fine game,
but he fields his position better than any
man ever seen on our diamond
Townsend is certainly slugger and a
good all round player.
Duncan is the darling of Pocomoke.
Well he deserves the praise.
Burris is an old bird. but he has not
lost his skill as ball player. and he is
right in il all the time

The Game at Pocomoke City.

Smarting under their defeat at the
hands of the Pocomoke City team last
week by the score of | to o, the Snow
Hill base ball team went to Pocomoke
City Wednesday afternoon with the
grim determination to redeem them
selves, and to add another victory to
the credit of Snow Hill in the series be-
tween the two towns. That they
carried out their intention, and were
successful in their efforts, surprising
even the expectations of the Snow Hill
base ball world. is Indicated by the score.
which stood 10 to in favor of Snow Hill
in the final inning.
Manager Williams essayed to do the
twirling for Snow Hill. while Duncan
was on the rubber for Pocomoke. Dun
can defeated the Snow Hill team last
week, and was confidently expected to
repeat the trick Wednesday. The Snow
Hill boys, however, had their batting
eye properly focused, and connected
with Duncan's pitching for eleven safe
ties, including two base hit, three
bagger, and a home run. The game
was loosely played on both sides. the
members of each team making some
glaring and costly errors. The features
of the game were the all around playing
of Nichols for Pocomoke City, the bat
ting of Kite, who secured four singles
out of four times at the bat, having
perfect batting average for the day, and
the home run hit of Capern
In the first inning the Snow Hill team
was blanked, but the home team as
curtain-raiser, made two runs in their
half. Each side was blanked in the
second inning. In the third inning, with
two men out Kite and Kettler singled
in rapid succession, and Capern, the
man up, was loudly called upon by the
little band of rooters that accompanied
the team to Pocomoke City, to bring
them in. Capern proved to be the man
for the emergency. Duncan gave him
three bad ones, and had one called strike
and foul. Then with three balls, two
strikes, two men on bases, and two out
Capern met the ball squarely with all
his strength, and before the ball could
be fielded home, he had made the circuit
of the bases, driving in two runs ahead
of him. These three runs put Snow Hill
in the lead, which was maintained
throughout the remainder of the game.
Pocomoke appearing dangerous at no
