negro woman made an insulting re-
mark to white man on an adjoin-
ing street and he administered what
he considered due punishment.
From this start the excited crowd
which had become IA mob, began it's
work of destruction. Five thousand
men and boys thronged the downtown
.streets looking for negroes. News that
La riot had started brought thousands
more from their homes in the suburbs
and resident districts, suntil fully TO-
00O men We're in the downtown sec
tion. They made attacks on the lncom-
ing street cars. Each car was search
ed for negroes. The trolleys were pull
ed from the wires and i'm the semi
darkness of the Unlighted cars me-
groes were beaten, cut and stamped
upon. If a negro ventured resistance
or demonstrated 1t meant sure death.
One car half filled with negroes APP
preached from an outside run. The
mob, dashed for the car Resistance
was made by the negroes, who had
not been apprised of the trouble. Three
negroes lay dead on the floor of the
car when it was permitted to move
on, and two more We're beaten into
unconsciousness
When the crowd seemed to be get
tting beyond control, at about 10
o'clock, Mayor Woodward mounted a
car platform and urged the crowd to

of the white women would be ade-
quately and promptly punished by the
due process of law. Mayor Woodward
was given a respectful hearing. but
when he finished the work OF destruc-
tion was resumed. He made another
lappeal a few moments later, but with
out result. Then he turned in a gen
leraI fire alarm, calling the entire de-
partment to the scene.
The police reserves and militia were
called out. The attacks had the ef-
fects of clearing the streets of ne

eurbings; drivers on baggage wagons
vanished and their places were taken

ernoon
Theodore Stensland, son Of the fugi-
tive dissipated the fears of the Chi
eago officials during the night, when
Mr.. Kinder called on him. The son
said he would make no fight on requi-
sition. He added that his only wish
in the matter was to avoid all the pub
lieity he could and agreed the best
plan was to get his father aboard a
train and on the way to Chicago.
This declaration followed letter re-
sceived from Paul d. Stensland, mall
ed Sept. Z. The father wrote that his
wish was to get back to Chicago with
.all speed. He advised his son not to
do any thing to delay the return and
asked only that his son and daughter
meet and greet him in New York. The
daughter did not come to New York,
as II was believed inadvisable for the
sake Of her health. AS the young man
put 1t, he came here to give his father
courage.
The Chicago officials said that they
had been advised by cable that there
was no truth 70 the story that STEMS
land had attempted suicide. He had
ample opportunity If he had consider
ed such a thing, but made no move in
this direction. the officers declared.

HObOs Were Getting Too Numerous
Told 10 Move ON

During the past two weeks the town
has been full of Wandering Willies
and Dusty Mikes. What appears 10
have been an organized gang made iis
appearance here. Among them are
several members who have lost por-
tion of their anatomy. One a leg, an
other an arm, and still another an eye,
ear or nose. These, who are soupes
to the star performers, go about excit-
ing commiseratiou by calling attention
to their misfortune and ask for aims.
1t appears, also, that they take note
Of the surroundings and the opportu-
nifty for pifering That night, or the
next day, a friend of theirs makes
professional visit and lays violent
hands on such portable property as he
finds, with the purpose Of converting
the same to his own personal use and
benefit, and the intent to deprive the
owner thereof, which is against the law
and the statute in such case made aud
provided, and against the peace and
dignity OF the state.
On Monday one of the gang wander
ed into Mr. Ritchie's tailor shop and
finding no one on guard appropriated
two pair of pants. By some skillful
maneuvering the pants were recovered
and the fellow who calls himself Tom
Burns was arrested and fined $1,000,
with trimmings to be added Burn,
was taken to Wenatchee Tuesday night.
We have heard of several other cases
of houses being entered and articles OF
value carried away without the consent
and leave of the owner having first
been obtained.
On Tuesday Deputy Sheriff Teshera

give proper account Of themselves or
refused To exhibit visible means Of sup
port. Under sentence Of Punishment

Critics Told to s.Be Good"

Manager William A. Brady has open
ed a vigorous war upon those dramatic
critics who, as he puts it, would rather
he funny than right. He declares that
plays which the critics ridicule or con-
denim go out before the people and
make fortunes for their owners. Says
Mr.. Brady:
In France and Germany are great pub
lies who love these people behind the
footlights who do their best night after
night TO ms-ie their audiences laugh and
cry, but here in America we have men
who can find nothing TO say of actress
save that "she talks like a megaphone"
or walks like a dodo." They use us as
targets for their cheap sarcasm and wit.
I will fight them. fight them as they
never have been fought before They
cannot cruelty me so long as l am able to
fight, and l pray the time Will come when
the public will refuse to laugh at their
Witticisms.
