gions since mining was suspended on
April ] occurred here Monday be
tween a mob of idle mine workers and
a platoon Of the new state constabu-
larry force and resulted in the injur

whom will likely die. The disturbance
was caused by an attack on a detail
OF the state police by several hundred
foreigners, who became incensed at
the presence of the constables. They
threw stones at the policemen and
otherwise endangered their lives to
such an extent that they were forced
to fire on the crowd, which had
swelled into thousands. The greatest
excitement was caused in the many
mining villages of the southern coal
fields, where 1t became known that

Supply of Food is Small.

San Francisco.-With no immediate
prospect that conditions will be so
normalized that the community will be
able to feed and take care of itself,
the supply of food on hand or under
way is becoming distressingly small.
No man connected with the relief af-
fairs is willing to hazard an opinion
as to when relief work may be aband-
oned. Yet Mayor Schmitz informed
the general committee Monday morn
ing that from information in his pos
session, it appeared that 700 carloads
of food and supplies of various de-
scriptions had been distributed since
the morning of the earthquake on
April Is. and the Southern Pacific,
Santa Fe and other transportation
lines had information of only 10S cars
on the way.

twelve feet, the bed of the river having
dropped from the effects of the recent
earthquake.
The stream had been carrying lot

showed that the bed was almost

Missoula, Mont.-A special eest-
bound freight train, consisting OF
forty-one cars of lumber and ca
boose. was wrecked near Reid station,
about ten miles west of here, at
o'clock Sunday morning. At least
eleven lives were lost
About mile from the O'Keefe tres
tie, on steep mountain grade, as the
train was running at terrific speed
along the side of a hill, the engine
went off the track and the entire

boose, was piled up in a heap forty
feet high. Shortly afterward fire broke
out, and the entire train was soon
ablaze
A wrecking train was sent out from
here, but owing to the intense heat OF
the burning lumber it was impossible
to get near the wreck. Engineer L. D.
Sterne and Fireman Ed Juliette were
incinerated. Brakeman G. A. Murphy,
who was dangerously injured, was
brought to this city. His skull was
badly crushed and several ribs were

MANY HURT IN TORNADO.
Furnas County, Nebraska, in the Path
of Twister.

Oxford, Neb.-A tornado did much
damage in Furnas county at o'clock
Monday evening. Telegraph and tele-
phone wires are Frustrated in the ter
ritory covered by the storm, and only
meagre reports have been obtained,
but it is known that several residences
were wrecked and a number of per-
sons injured. although no fatalities
have been reported.
The storm came from the southwest
and so far as known the first house
struck was that of John Reynolds,
about five miles west of Oxford This
was destroyed, but the inmates es-
capped serious injury. The houses of
Fred Hartman and Fred Drew were
next demolished. Here the people
were not so fortunate, nearly all be-
ing more or less hurt, and one at
least received injuries from which re-
covery is doubtful. The residences of
Fred Toos and T. j. Cook were
wrecked. as were the school houses
in the Buffalo and Morning View dis
tricts, besides scores of barns and
other farm buildings. The storm
passed to the northeast.

DESPERATE OREGON BANDIT
SHOOTS DOWN OFFICERS
Escaped Prisoner Following in the
Footsteps Of Tracy and is Fight
ing Desperately to Escape
Justice.

Woodburn, Ore.-The slayer Of Po-
liceman Hanlon of Oregon City laid
low two Of the posse which is pursu-
ing him, one of his victims, Captain
o. d. Henderson, having died since
from the effects of his wound, and the
other, Sheriff J. S. Shaver of Clacka-
mas county, lies MORALLY injured at
Salem hospital, where both the men
were taken on a special train imme-
diately after the shooting.
This man, whom the Portland de-
tectives declare to be identical with
Frank Smith, who escaped from the
Portland jail, where he was confined
on charge of having robbed the post.
Office at Troutdale, eluded his pursu-
ers Saturday morning before daylight
and escaped from the nursery in which
he took refuge after shooting Hender-
son and Shaver, taking refuge in the
woods which skirt WOODBURY.. Here
is where he is supposed to be at
present.
These same woods are where the
notorious penitentiary escapes, Tracy
and Merrill, eluded their pursuers a
year or two ago, and whence they dis
appeared, to reappear some days later
on the Washington shore of the Co
lumbia river. In more than this re-
spect does this man, if he be Smith,
resemble Tracy. Like the latter, he
has met all opposition with immediate
shooting, and has been even more
deadly than Tracy, so far as precision
goes, it being stated that he has
'elled man with each shot which he
las fired.

Thieves look Corner Stone.

Pasadena, Cal.-Thieves Monday
night stole the cornerstone of the
North Pasadena Methodist church.
The stone weighed about 800 pounds
and contained coins and other small
valuables worth probably $40. The
church was just completed few days
ago and is large and expensive edi-
fee. The cornerstone was pried out
of the building and removed entirely
from the premises. II is not known
by what means the thieves made
away with it, but they must have used
some sort of vehicle.

only law under which capital could in

The provisions of this code, in so far
as they relate to the organization of

the Philippine officials, are archaic and
ill-adapted to the needs of modern

TO BORROW s2oo,ooo,ooo.
Plan to Raise Money to Rebuild sen
Francisco.

San Franciscan plan is now un
der discussion here by which it is
hoped to secure $500, 900, 600 Briefly
The purpose is to secure the guaran-
tee of the United States upon bonds
70 that amount, which shall form a
mortgage on the new construction 1t
was brought forward by former May
Or James d. Phelan at a meeting held
Sunday, at which were present Con-
gresham Julius Kahn Of the Fourth
California district, Charles S. Wheeler
and Banker S. G. Murphy. Mr. Phelan
later made the following statement:
"The purpose of this meeting was
to discuss ways of providing capital
for the rebuilding of the business
houses of San Francisco. 1t is esti-
mated by the underwriters that we
have suffered loss of 100000, 900.
This Is for the most part represented
in the destruction of buildings by fire.
1t Is imperative that without delay
new structures should go up on the
ruins of the old. Now, with the best
will in the world, there is not suf-
ficient money in San Francisco to do
this, and we must look for it else
where. If we have to borrow it
through the ordinary banking chan
nels we will have to pay A. and per-
haps 6 per cent, which, added to the
Increased taxation we will Individually
have to bear, will be a burden TOT
great for us to carry. 1t is the idea,
therefore to frame legislation, which
Kahn will be asked to
present to congress, recommending
hat the United States guarantee our
ponds. With this guarantee we will
,e able to go into the financial mar
Sets of the world and borrow at or |
~ per cent the 100000, 900 we need. |
These bonds should run for not less
han fifty years. The proceeds of |
heir sale would be loaned on the Sc
urity of the realty and the new con-
truction; in other words, they would |
onstitute mortgage on the best por-
ion of the new city"
