ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 23.-In one Of
the worst race riots known in Georgia a
number of negroes were killed aud
scores badly injured by infurated
whites last night. Reports of the
number of dead vary. Some place it
as high as 80. AT 1870 p. m. 10 blacks
were reported dead in the city proper.
At 1870 a. m. reports were received
from the outskirts of town, OF rioting
and negroes being killed ard driven
from their homes. Rumors have it
that at least p to 30 or more negroes
have been killed here tonight, but it is
i'm possible at this time to confirm these
reports
All is quiet in the central portion Of
the city at present, but knots of people
are standing on the street corners APP
parently awaiting Developments.
Four attempts at assault on white
women by negroes within or near the
limits Of the city today wrought white
citizens to high pitch Of excitement
The assaults of the day followed two
others OF a similar nature within the
week and al least half dozen others
within the last two months, and
brought matters TO climax.
At midnight Gov. Terrell issued an
order calling out out eight companies
of the fifth infantry and one battalion
Of light artillery. This order was not
issued until three negroes had been
been killed and - taken to the hospt-
ais. five of whom will die. They com.
prise only those cases Of which The po-
lice have official Information. The
newspaper men say the number OF
dead is large.
The mob began its work early in the
evening, pulling negroes from the
street cars and beating them with
clubs, bricks and stones. Negro men
am women, riding to their homes after
the work of the day, were ruthlessly
torn from the cars or attacked Oh the
retalliated during the early part OF the
night, but after ten o'clock they were
scarce in public places.
The fire deartmeut was called ont to
disperse the mob on Decatur street. a
street mos. frequented by the negroes,
and for time seemed to hold the crowd
at bay The police reserves we're cal
led out and will hold the situation until
troops can be modified. The mob
seemed to lack leadership, and this,
dou b:less, prevented greater slaughter.
The disturbance here has taken the
form OF an active and bitter race war.
The incidents OF the day which we're
given in numerous extras by the local
papers early last evening, added i'm.
meusely TO the usual Saturday night
crowds on he streets. A negro walk
ing along Whitehall street, the princi.
pal shopping section was attacked

attack spread rapidly, and within few
moments the appearance of a negro was
the signal for riot. The negroes
scattered from the streets, going TO
their homes by back alleys, or tlocksd
TO Decatur street. the home Of part Ut

MERATION.

A meeting preliminary to taking up
the matter Of a new census of Walla
Walla with the council committee was
held in the offices of ]. P. Kent by
the Commercial club committee this
morning. ]. w. Langdon, chairman of
the committee presided this morning
and afterward said:
1.-THE questions of employing enum-
orators to take the census and other
matters connected with the work will
be taken up Jointly by the Commercial
club committee and the council.
"Today's meeting was merely for the
purpose Of organizing our own COM
mittee. Some Of our views on such
matters are embodied in a letter which
we addressed to the council today"
Personally Chairman Langdon said
it was highly necessary to complete the
census at a date as early as possible.
Just what plans will be decided upon
is matter for the two committees.
The council at tonight's meeting will
probably appoint council committee
to act with the Commercial club COM
mittee.

HEARING TO Be HAD NOV. q
Judge Brents Gives Alternative
Writ Which Holds Up the
Railroaded Contracts

Upon the application Of Fred Slime,
through Gose & Gose, Judge Brents
late yesterday afternoon issued a tenn
porary restraining order, enjoining
Mayor Kellough and City Clerk Hart
from entering into a contract with the
Warren Construction company for
paving south Second street from the
alley way between Alder and Poplar
streets to the Garrison creek bridge.
November 27, at 10 o'clock p. m.,
was the date set for hearing the ap-
plication. Mr.. Stine executed a bond in
the sum of $4,000 guaranteeing the costs
in the action. The complaint was filed
in the superior court shortly after 8
o'clock yesterday afternoon and after
its reading Judge Brents Immediately
issued the restraining order. Copies
of the complaint and the summons
were served on Mayor Kellough and
City Clerk Hart shortly before o'clock.
Many Law Points.
Owing to the many points Of law
raised in the application for a tenn
porary injunction, it will probably take
two or three days before decision is
handed down. The question Of whether
or not Councilman Glasford, by ac-
cepting the position of building in
spector, ceased to be member Of the
council is an important one and is
expected to have considerable bearing
on the final outcome of the case. The
temporary restraining order, issued by
Judge Brents is as follows:

Shortage in Cash Will Be Used
as Excuse to Rescind
Action

Unless the most rigid economy is
practiced in the expenditure of funds
remaining in the water supply fund,
the $25O,OOO voted to construct Walla
Walla's new gravity water system will
not be sufficient to complete the work.
Inquiry at the city treasurer's Of
flee reveals the fact that out of the
$500 bond issue, $179,51O has al
ready been expended.
The National Wood Pipe company
has approximately $4,000 due on it's
addition to which the city has yet
to purchase a reservoir site, build the
reservoir, complete the intake and set
tling basins at the headworks and
expend a considerable sum on other
work that is absolutely necessary be-
fore the system is complete according
to plans and, specifications furnished
by Engineer Thomson.
Conservatively estimated, the new
reservoir will cost $4,000. The reser-
voir site, If the Thomas ranch is pur-
chased, will cost another $4,000. 1t
is estimated $4,000 will be required to
finish the intake and settling basins,
added to which will be the cost of re-
cinching the pipe line where needed,
cleaning county roads of rocks and de-
bris left by the graders, salary Of En-
gineer Thompson, which will be no
small item, and numerous incidental
expenses which will aggregate a large
sum.

BECAUSE she extracted five cents

ily. was arrested on the complaint or
Miss Bucholtz on the charge OF mutt
lating. defacing and destroying her
property.
The Bucholtz- -Richwine linen was
washed in Judge Huffman's court
Yesterday afternoon and the vigor and
ferocity of the testimony at times
caused no end of amusement to those
listening.
The trouble was over a disputed
boundary line between the Richwine
nroperty in Township about % miles
from Walla Walla and the homestead
of Miss Bucholtz. About theree weeks
ago Mrs Richwine moved into one Of
the lumber houses built by Bucholtz
on the disputed area, and refuses to
leave. This is the bone of contention.
They Talked Some.
Miss Bucholtz, Papa Bucholtz, and
Grandpa" Bucholtz all testified Tor
the state.
They declared Richwine ran a boun-
darv line between the two places sew
eral years ago which was Satisfactory
to both parties and this had been
agreed upon ever since until the overt
act Of Mrs. Richwine precipitated
hostilitfes.

ated had long been in dispute. He had
sold the land to Richwine and mad no
doubt it belonged to him. Bucholtz
has cut about 100000 feet of tim
Der from the Richwine place without
recompense and this was the cause Of
the immigration of the Riclwine fam
lily to the disputed tract. A surveyor
would be obtained as soon as possible
to fix the line.
Up to the Law.
Mrs Richwine was rather wrathy
when she testified. Her eyes snapped
fire as she described the circumstance
es and declared that all she wanted
was for "the law to take its course
and decide the disputed boundary. She
also testified and had several wit
nesses to 'back her up" that she mad
! torn down no partition and had stolen
no springs in the cabins. She admit
ted in a voice overflowing with scorn
that "she had taken about five cents
worth of nails from the walls" of the
other cabin.
The court in rendering it's decision
said the case ought to have been a
civil one; that the criminal arm OF
the law should not have been used
to settle this dispute and. further,
volving as it did real estate, he was
not sure that he had jurisdiction. He

mitted another proposition this morn
ing in which he offers to sell the city
% acres of land and deed a right of
way for an overflow pipe to Mill creek
for $4,000.
The offer was practically accepted
at meeting Of the council as a COM
mittee of the whole, held in the city
clerks office this morning. One con-
dition of the sale is, that the city will
reinquish all rights to the subterran-
can water on the Thomas ranch which
were acquired by the city some years
ago at cost of $4,000.
Members Of the council denied that
the storm of protest which went up
