BLOODY RIOT
AT ROCKFORD
Stabbing and Shooting in a Wild
Struggle

Rockford, WASH. July Sc. s.
Nance of Freeman, desperately
wounded, lies in the Palace hotel

body: Waller LiVermore is badly cut
,bout the shoulder, and Peter Jen-
Sen of Fairfield is stabbed in both
arms One of the Marlowe boys,
from Freeman, IS in Jail, and others
4 the crowd are at large.
Rockford had the most strenuous
Fourth in its history, citizens arming
themselves to stop further lawlessness.
4 brother of Nance's escaped after
threatening to kill any one who in
hrfered. Twenty FIVE citizens,
many of them armed, surrounded the
desperate man, but he fought his way
through and escaped. Two sisters of
Nance mixed in the melee, helping
their brother to escape. One of them
grabbed the marshal and in the strug
Gle her face was torn and her clothing
was stripped from her waist.
The trouble began in the after
noon in the livery stable of John
Quigley. The immediate cause is
not knwon, but is said to have start
cd over disagreement as to livery
/ bill. The Nance boys and the Mar
lowe boys had team ia the barn.
The trouble began by Livermore
knocking one of the gang down, say
Witnesses. Then a knife flashed out
and Livermora was stabbed in the
GhOulder. A serious wound was
made about the shoulder, extending
around in front to the nipple.
Then Peter Jensen of Fairfield took
hand. He thought that Livermore
was getting too badly used up, and
tried to assist the latter Again the
knife came into play and Jensen was
badly stabbed in both arms. A gem
sral fist fight followed and blood was
stFewn all over the barn.
As soon as the officers got wind of
the affair they rushed to the scene.

smaller tracts with less labor where
the owner may enjoy the advantages

lands one man has set out an orchard

have ten acre orchards, while some
are going into small fruits and bsr-

lands, leased from their owners, are
under sugar beet cultivation and the
crop promises to be a record breaker
for quantity and quality. This is
what irrigation is doing for Hayden

At Dalton Gardens, between this
city aud the lake, force of men are
now at work laying pipes and max
ing bitches for placing these tracts
under water, and before long Dalton
Gardens will be a productive, pros

lands are close to the city and may
be considered part Of it with all the
