Down

There was a general mix in Ecker
lens barroom yesterday afternoon,
when William Dawne struck Chris
Bloss in the face, and Reilly knocked
Robert Boliver Down. inilicting pain
full wounds. among which was the
loss OF four OF his front teeth Il
seems that Dawn and Bloss had trad
cd pocket knives. but each one had
a different understanding OF the
transaction, and Bloss wanted his
knife back. Young Dawn. who is 4
husky fellow, was in the Eckerlen
cafe barroom with several friends.
and entered into conversation
about the knife exchange. He soon
lost his temper and struck Bloss In
the face, iniicting a painful bruise.
Bloss, who is an old man, had been
talking TO Robert Boliver, OF Zena,
concerning a prospective COW trade.
and as he was struck, so witnesses
say. he turned and asked Boliver II
he saw Dawn hit him. Boliver re
piled that he had seen the blow
struck. and then started toward the
door. but before reaching the exit
some unseen pair OF flsts began hos
tilities against his face. He was
knocked down before he realized just
what was being done. and when
picked up he was missing four good
teeth. and had several ugly cuts
about his nose and face. Warrants
were sworn oGt for the arrest OF VIM.

man who struck Boliyer, and also

who were victims OF White. with

Tornado Tears Up Texas Town.

MOUNT PLEASANT, Texas, May
THE towns of Birthright and
Ridgeway, 40 miles west of this city
were practically destroyed by tor
nado which swept over them Mon
day The wires are down and it is
impossible to get complete details.
The reports brought by couriers
says that there are nine unidentified
dead in the two towns. Many are re-
ported dead in the outlying country.
Other villages probably suffered Sc
verely.
The infant child of family named
Brazelle was blown away in the tor
nado and no trace OF it can be found.
The damage will be enormous. Be
sides the buildings and stock destroy
ed, the damage to crops will be very
severe. The tornado extended over
an unusually wild territory. The dis
trict is very thickly populated for
this country.

INSANE MURDERER
SAVES GIRLS LIFE
Maniac Perpetrates Awful Slaughter
of Innocent, Sleeping Persons
i'm Lodging Sight.

SAN FRANCISCO, May Rem
dered temporarily insane by imagin-
ary grievances, Walter Davis ran
amuck with shot gun in a flat in
which he roomed, at Ala Pierce
street, shortly before o'clock this
morning, and killed six of the seven
occupants of the building.
The dead are:
o. F. Bush. wife and son, Orson.
Mrs. Lillian Carothers.
w. S. Baird.
NJ. E. Vinton.
The only person to escape was An
ME Bush, the 17-year-old daughter
of o. F. Bush
After completing his murderous
task, Davis ragged up and down the
house defying arrest. The police
feared to enter, but two citizens,
bolder than the rest, crept up the
stairway and before the maniac was
aware of their presence rushed upon
him and bore him to the floor.
The flat resembled the shambles.
Bush's head was blown of while he
was standing before the wash stand.
His wife took refuge in closet but
Davis quickly found her and shot her
to death. Orson, Carothers and Baird
evidently were shot while asleep. All
were frightfully maagled.
vinton is believed to have given
the maniac a desperate battle as q
survivor says he heard sounds OF q
scufie and the firing of number of
shots. Vinton finally succumbed In
the unequal battle with the maniac.
Davis is carpenter. He came
from Foundryville, Tulare county.
The escape of Miss Bush is due to
a strange freak of the madman's
brain. He had the girl at his mercy
but he said he had daughter about
her age and told her he would not
harm her. She was permitted to
climb out of window.
The murderous maniac tells RAM
bling story of the slaughter entirely
at variance with the facts He
claims he Drained and cut the throats
of some of his victims. but all the
wounds are gunshot wounds.
Davis claims his victims were slow

new WHEELS WILL
PURR THIS FALL
Giant Structure of New Milling
Company Will Handle Grain
This Year.

Dirt is flying on another big local
industry.
Before snow falls Wenatchee will
hear the hum and purr of the busy
wheels of another giant flour mill,
and central Washington will behold
another triumph of local capital.
The stone foundations of the new
structure for the "Beal Grain & Mill
ing Company are being laid. and
will be completed within ten days.
The lumber and other building sup
plies have been shipped, and work
on the massive new industrial enter
prise will be pushed to completion
in time to handle this falls wheat
supply. The new mill will be equip
ed with the most modern machinery
throughout, up-to-date in every de-
tail, and a credit to the city. 1t is
estimated that the mill will cost
$4,000 when finished, and it is to
have a capacity of $50 barrels
of flour daily.
The new structure is located just
off Wenatchee avenue, about opposite
the court house, on block 60 of the
first re-plat of Wenatchee.
Only local capital Is concerned in
the new enterprise, which will en-
gage in the general milling business,
the purchase and sale of grain and
the manufacture of -four and cereals

Bloody Riots in Frisco Strike.

SAN FRANCISCO, May THE
first riot and bloodshed of the street
car strike occurred shortly after II
o'clock today, when the second at
tempt was made to run a car from
the barn at Turk and Fillmore street
The first attempt, made few min
utes earlier, had failed because the
car ran off the track just as it left
the barn.
A big freight car manned by in
spectors A. w. Drohman, j. B. Cum
Minis, w. E. Garland and j. w. Hale
left the barn on Turk street at 11:10
o'clock. The moment the big gates
were thrown open a crowd of about
5000 men and boys resolved them
selves into a mob. At first they at
tempted to block the right of way by
packing themselves in front of the
car, where they howled at Inspector
DrOhman, who was at the controller.
The car. however, moved slowly for
ward and then a shower of stones
and brick bats were thrown at it..
The boarded-up windows were
smashed. Drohman was struck by
stones, but he stuck to his post.
The squad of ten policemen, under
command of Sergeant Eastman, made
no serious attempt to protect the car
or clear the street. The car pro-
ceeded half block. when the missiles
became so thick that Drohman had
to take refuge inside. q
Struck by Stone.
His place was taken by Inspector
Cummins A stone struck him on
tie jaw, but with blood dripping
from his face he stayed by the con-
troller, though he made no effort to
run the car. Union pickets went
among the meb, imploring them not
to throw stones. They were jeered

Ice Plant in Operation.

More and better ice than has ever
been used in the city of Wenatchee
before. This is what the Wenatchee
Canning company will endeavor to
deal out to the people of this city the
coming year. 1t is said that the prices
for ice tbi' serson in Wenatchee will
be lower Il an II Is commodity is sold
at either in Seattle er Spokane.
The Wenatchee Canning company
has put up a plant in Wenatchee at a
cost Of nearly $4,000 and their
equipment is such that they expect to
be able to supply ice to the entire
population of Wenatchee and the
surrounding country.
The Wenatchee daily world. [volume] (Wenatchee, Wash.) 1905-1971, 1907-05-08

by union men and sympathiZers. The
police with one exception did not
even draw their clubs. Finally Supt.
Jones of the car barn took the con-
troller and started the car back to
the barn. This move was greeted with
tremendous cheers and the throwing
up of hats. The hurling of missiles
did not cease until the crowd of
union pickets clambered aboard the
car and yelled to the crowd to de-
sist. The car. was finally run back to
the yard. Until the police depart
ment affords the company ample pro-
lection no effort will be made to run
the cars.
The mayor and chief of police have
announced that the police will not be
permitted to ride upon the tDrs for
the purpose of protection, their
duties being confined to the preser-
walton of peace in the streets.
Troops May BE Called.
The governor has, it is claimed, a
sufficient force of militia to fall back
upon if they are necessary and fail
ing in that, Gen. Funston, in COM
mand of the department of the Pa
cific, is now here ready for any emer-
gency which might necessitate inter-
ference by the federal troops, a
large force if which is now stationed
at the Presidio. The Civic League
continues its efforts to promote a
peaceful settlement of the differences
of the company and it's men, but il
was admitted that none of them wal
attended by very. signal success.
The car strike, by it's more inti'
mate connection with the pu<ic, hat
for the time completely crippled 9TH
er labor difficulties which are now
hampering the business interests of
the city. The strikes of the four
crafts now affected, the iron workers
carmen, laundry workers and tele-
phone operators affect directly 49,
|05O wage earners and full as many
more are indirectly affected.

COUNCIL DISCUSSES
MUCH CITY BUSINESS
August Body Meets Last Night
Water Affairs the Principal
Topic.
The city council met in regular
session last night.
Water Works.


The water committee reported fav-
orably on the question of the pur-
chase of pumping plant and pipes
for conveying waer from the Colum-
bia river. The plan of the city for
installing this plant is now complete
and the city clerk was instructed to
call for bids Immediately, that there
may be no delay in securing the
new and ample water supply.
Salvation Army Obstructing Streets.
The police and sanitary committee
was instructed to take up with the
officers of the Salvation Army the
question of blockading the streets of
the city. 1t was not the intention of
the council to interfere in any way
with the work or evangelical efforts
of the Salvationists, but simply to
confer with them as to some means
whereby they might pursue their la.
bors without interfering with traffic
A petition was presented to the
council by Henry Grass, ct all, citi-
zens of Orondo avenue, asking that
higher pressure water pipe be laid
on that thoroughfare, enabling the
residents to secure more water. This
petition was referred to the proper
committee for investigation and re-
port.
Wants to Ring Fire Bell.
L. o. Hall apeared and asked
permission to ring the fire bell for
the purpose of calling the fire de-
partment together. The fire, light
and water committee will report on
this at the next session of the coun.
ell.
Canmery Wants Cheaper Water.
F. w. Arnold, representing the
Wenatchee Canning company, ap-
peared before the august body, and
asked that the tariff on water con-
sumed by his company be reduced.
The cannery no wpays only third
of what other consumers of water
pay, that is, five cents as against )
cents per thousand. But the cannery
also uses about one-twentieth of the
whole amount OF water consumed
by the city of Wenatchee. The can
merry paid for water rental since July
of last year something over $500.
During the first year of their opera
tions the paid nothing.
The water committee was instruct
ed to confer with Mr.. Arnold more in
detail, and investigate the merits of
his application, and report at the
next regular meeting of the council.
There being nothing further the
council adjourned.
