At Steubenville in Riots
\ Between Guards and
Striking Miners.

Cleveland, o., June 4.-Telephonic
reports from Steubenville, early this
morning state that in riot between
400 striking coal miners and 40 guards
10 of the latter have been shot.
1t is not known how many we're
killed, as the rest of the guards are
in the mines and are afraid to come
out and remove or attend the wounded
or dead.
Sheriff Voorhees, Immediately got
into communication with the state
house at Coiumbus in an effort to get
the militia called out if he finds that
he is unable to control the situation
He has been promised troops in case
he makes demand for them.
From reports received here 1t is said
that the fighting was the result of the
coal company attempting to import a
carload of non-union men under cover
of darkness.
The strikers had pickets on duty
and as soon as they discovered the
train with the new men they aroused
the entire mining population.
The strikers tried to seek out the
imported men in an endeavor to keer
them from entering the mines.
The. guards sought to gain posses
sion of the strike breakers by force
and drew their guns.
This act influenced the strikers. The
guards in order to frigbten the strik
ers fred into the air but the miners
instead of fleeing made q concerted
attack upon their assaiiants.
A battle waged for Is minutes, hun
dreds of shots being fred. The guard:
outnumbered, we're finally routed ant

REVOLUTION
Against the Mexican
Government in Sonora
is Threatened = SOL
diers Fired Upon.

Naco, Ariz., June 3.-Americans who
have arrived at Naco declare that open
revolution against the Mexican govern
ment in Sonora is being threatened
by the miners on account of the action
in disarming patrols since the declar-
alton of martial law.
Parties under command of Colonel
Green and Colonel Kosterlitz, patrol
ing the outskirts of the town Sunday
were fred upon Ave times by Mexi-
cans and in returning the fire 1t is
reported that six Mexicans were kill
ed. Many more are thought to have
been wounded.
One OF the Green guards came into
Naco this evening with the story JnaI
the total dead will reach II Ameri-
cans and 81 Mexicans, but this report
is on the face of 1t exaggerated. The
most authoritative statements which
come through are to the effect tnat
the dead Americans are the two Met
eals brothers. and that the Mexican
dead will total only about twenty.

Feel Right
When You Feed Right
You know one
always feels very
fit when the head

and nerves swing along peacefully and with that
certain sense of power that is unmistakeable
But when overwork anxiety breaks down the
soft matter in the brain and nerve cells (anxiety
will do it quicker than overwork) faster than the
food you have been using replaces it, then to save
yourself from that horror of darkness nervous pros
tration, you must change food, and take on some
sure rebuilder.
That's the mission of Grape-Nuts, made OF Sc
lected parts of Wheat and Barley, containing the
natural Phosphate of Potash which combines with
albumen in the human body and makes the soft
gray filling OF the brain and nerve centres. In MAX
ing GrapeNuts the starchy parts of the field grains
are converted into form of sugar exactly as in the
process of digestion in the body. So Grape-Nus
has really passed the first act of digestion and there
fore the food is quickly assimated in the most per-
feet manner by babe or athlete.
There's Reason.

WOOD ASSUMES
RESPONSIBILITY
SAYS WOMEN DISGUISED As MEN
Taft Asks Full Report, and Wood Re-
ports With Particular Reference
to Alleged killing of Women.

MANILA, March 12.-Gen. Wood,
who has arrived here, has announced
that he assumes the full responsible
ity for the fight against the Moros at
Dajo Hill, near Jolo. He said there
was no wanton destruction of wom-
en- and children in the fight, though
many of them were killed from force
of necessity, because the Moros used
them as shields in the hand-to-hand
fighting.
Gen. Wood declared that many of
the women wore male attire, and
their sex could not be distinguished.
Another confusing cause was the
desperation with which the women
fought the priests having worked all
the Moros to religious frenzy Many
of the Moros feigned death, but they
cheered the American hospital men
who were relieving the wounded.
Gen. Wood said: Neither in this
nor in any fight has an American SOL
der killed woman or child, except
in close action, when it was impos-
sible to distinguish the ser"
Secretary of War Taft cabled for
full explanation concerning the
deaths OF the women and children,
and Gen. Wood has sent a lengthy
reply, of which the foregoing is the
substance.

RUSH KLAMATH IRRIGATION
Demand for Land Exceeds Hopes of
Water Users.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-The
board of directors of the klamath
Water Users association has trans
mitted a resolution to the reclama-
ton service asking that a change be
made in the present plans for con-
structing the Klamath irrigation
project In Difference to the wishes
of the large land owners under the
project, all of whom have pledged
themselves to the government to dis
pose of their excess holdings, it was
agreed originally that the govern
ment should proceed slowly with con-
struction, completing one unit after
another, and thus affording private
owners a reasonable time to close
out their property Owing to the
absence of difficult engineering fea-
lures, the Klamath project can be
completed quickly, and most of the
land in private ownership can be sup
piled with water in a very short time.
AS the Klamath basin is remote
from any railroad it was feared that
putting such large area under irri-
cation at one time would result in
overproduction of farm produce,
and consequent decrease in prices,
which would work financial injury to
settlers. AS, under the terms of the
reclamation act, all excess land must
be sold before water is supplied, it
is believed the demand will not be
great enough to insure fair prices to
the owners.
Tine resolution recites that these
fears are, in the light of present cir
cumstances, unfounded; that the let
ting of the initial contracts has so
increased the demand for land that
there seems to be no occasion for
dou biting that all excess holdings
will pas promptly into the hands of
persons properly qualified to occupy
them as home makers. The board
recommends that the completion OF
the entire project be carried forward
as rapidly as funds can be made
available for the purpose.
Under instructions from Washing
ton, the engineers in charge of the
project have been notified to prose
cute the work as rapidly as it can be
economically done. 1t is not deemed
advisable, however, to let any more
large contracts until the railroad
which is now being constructed
reaches klamath Falls, as the cost
of construction will be materially less
when the Iong haul overland is elm
mated.
The complete change of sentiment
Oh landowners on this question is
indicative of the very wide interest
taken in the work of the national
government. and shows conclusively
that wherever the government in.
itiates these works. there is a rise In
value and very large demand for
land.

evidence was submitted and argu-
ments commenced in the packers

matters in his previous testimony.
Attorney Miller, representing Arm

fered by District Attorney Morrison
that the evidence be excluded, and a
verdict in favor of the government
directed The arguments were i'm
uediately begun. and will probably
as for several days.

TO HAVE A FAIR
TRIAL." GOOD|NG
GOVERNOR COMPELLED TO ACT
Writes Letter Justifying Course, and
Holds Himself Responsible for 4.
an Impartial Hearing.

BOISE, March Ito dispel the
that the prosecution of the men now
confined in Jail for the murder of
Steunenberg is a conspiracy Matched
by certain moneyed interests, Cover
nor Goodng has issued a letter in
which he sa"s that the prosecution is
being carried on legitimately without
favor, and that the detectives en-
ployed are paid their expenses and
usual fees. but are not working for
any promised reward.
AS to the confession secured from
Orchard. the letter states that De-
tective MCFARLAND visited him. in
formed him who he was and asked
him to tell the truth about the mat
ter. No promise of any character
was made. Orchard fully expects to
pay the penalty for the crime which
he has confessed The letter contin-
ues:
"He told the story of the conspir-
acy and murder against Ex-Governor
Steunenberg, so revolving in every
detail that it was almost unbeliev-
able. He gave descriptions of other
crimes in which he had been inter-
ested, or of which he had heard, and
from these descriptions and other
data furnished by Orchard the state
has been enabled to gather a mass
of evidence so strong that l was COM
PEELED by my oath of office, and by
my feelings as man and a citizen,
to ask the arrest and eXtradition of
Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone."
1t is further stated that the con-
fession of Adams was secured in the
same manner. no hope of immunity
being held out to him. Governor
Gooding emphatieally states that the
accused will have a fair and impair
tlal trial.

STORM DAMAGE WAS $4,000

thirty feet from the ground, and was
used for fire protection and irrigat-
ing purposes. During the storm it
was blown down. 1t fell with ter
rife force on the house in which Mr..
McCausland and the family were
sleeping. Had the tank been four
feet higher, the three inmates of
thehouse would have been crushed
to death. Nearly every window in
the house was broken, shingles torn
off the roof, and other damage done.
Mr.. McCausland says:
There is at the least calculation
$3.50 damage done. But I consider
myself very fortunate to get out with
so small a damage. If the tank had
been four feet higher, my wife, my
child and myself would have been
crushed to DEATH"
No less than $1,000 damage was
done at the state fair grounds. The
roof of the grand stand is blown off,
and the paddock is almost a total
wreck. Fences on all sides are down,
and the track is Uttered with debris.
Mr.. Kershaw, deliveryman for the
Natchez meat market, stated that at
least one-half of his customers who
live in tents were without homes
yesterday morning, and in one in
stance tent was burned to the
ground.
Great concern has been felt by a
large number of interested fruit
fruit growers as to the probable dam
age done the early buds Mr.. Paul
Kruger called at the Herald office last
evening and said "There has been
no damage to the peach buds. |
have examined about sixty and found
that they were yellow and green. If
! they had been killed they would have
turned black by this time. l found
none in that condition. Peaches are
the furthest along and have suffered
no damage that I can find. The IL
laos were not damaged either and
apples and cherries were not far
enough advanced to suffer much,
"In a way the storm and cold has
been a God send. The fruit was de-
veloping altogether too early and
it will now be set back about two
weeks and will be better on that ac-
count"
The total damage to the Yakima
valley is difficult to estimate al
though it will approximate $40, 900.

the fact that the Northern Pacific is
now building $50 new cars of this
type, making ESQ available refrigera-
tor cars for this territory, during the

these facts, I think there will be no

Mr.. Meeks does not look for as
large an increase in the production
of the valley this year as has been
predicted by farmers and observers
in the valley. He says that the gross
tonnage for North Yakima last year
was not much in excess of the year
before.
