In conversation with Captain Rog-
ers of the local Salvationists yester-
day. it was learned that a sad case
of sickness and restitution had been
reported from the vicinity Of Front
and Maple streets, that of an aged
man and wife, with four small chill
dren. The father of the family came
here from Oregon some months ago
in feeble health. He had worked at
digging potatoes, picking hops and
doing various odd jobs until. at last,
his strength failing utterly, he is
under a doctors care. The family,
it was learned, has no other means
of support. Captain Rogers says the
Army is giving the family every at
tention that it can, but outside as
sistance from anyone charitably in
clined would be most thankfully re-
ceived, as he believes the case a most
deserving one.

1000 MEN RIOT AND BURN NEGRO DISTRICT
Frightful State of Affairs in Springfield, Ohio
Follows Shooting of White Man by

SPRINGFIELD, O., Feb. 27.-Mob
violence followed the shooting in the
railroad yards mere today by two ne
groes of brakeman named Davis,
who is in the hospital, perhaps IA
tally wounded. One of the negroes
is also in the hospital. The other
negro was taken to Dayton to avoid
violence.
"A mob of a thousand men and
boys marched to the "jungles," the
negro district for the purpose of
burning that section. They bat
tered one house to pieces. The mob
then entered Kempler's saloon and
looted it. Kempler and his wife
fled, leaving their three little child
rem asleep upstairs. The building
was riddled with bullets, and only by
the hardest efforts of the police were
tie children saved.
Drunkenness added to the terrors
of the riot. The mob broke through
the Gordon of police and set fire to
another house. The Xenia military
company was asked for at 10 o'clock,
but it had not arrived at II O'Clock.
A number of persons were seriously

At 12:45 the militia seems to be
gaining the upper hand, driving the
rioters back from the infested Sec
ton. Another building was fired by
the mob just as the militia got into
action.
At 12:45 Sheriff Almoney wired
Governor Pattison: Send all the
troops possible tonight, and hold
others in readiness for tomorrow.
The mob stoned and jeered at the
militia, but show of bayonets was
sufficient to keep the rioters on the
move. The rumor that out of town
troops are coming, it is expected, will
have quieting effect on the mob.
