GREAT OIL WELL

BLAZE NEAR TAMPIco, MEX, CAN
NOT BE ExTINGUISHED.
GROWING DAILY.

a
MEXICO CITY, Aug. f.-The great
fire which has been raging in the Des
Bocas oil we'll near Tampico for forty
three days, has baffied all attempts
which have been made to extinguish
it, and it is now greater in volume
tnan ever before.
From a hole eight inches in dame
ter the well has wideneG into a vol
cano with crater 100 metres across.
1t is estimated that the flames reach
a height of over 500 feet while the
black column of smoke continues into
the clouds. The report received to-
day from the students sent to the
scene by the Mexican Government es-
timated the amount of oil consumed
at at least 10000 gallons per minutes.
AS the oil is partly consumed the
residue rolls down the sides of the
crater. Masses of black substance
resembling pitch splitter and foam
and explode over the sides.

DEPUTY SHERIFFS
WITH THEIR GUNS
STOP PARTY WHICH ENTERS THE
HUNTINGTON, L. l., JAIL AZ
TER A NEGRO.

HUNTINGDON. l. L. Aug. IA
negro who late this afternoon attacked
white woman resident OF this place.
is under heavy guard tonight in the
local lookup, after having been res
cuel by deputies from a crowd Of
angry citizens. Threats of violence
were frequent during the evening.
when the news of the assault spread
and shortly after a mob of fifty men
battered in the front door of the Jail
with a railroad tie, and attempted TO
remove the prisoner. The attacking
party found itself confronted with two
deputies with guns, however, and after
a parley withdrew.
The negro, who was in a state of
extreme terror throughout the attack,
will be removed from the jail to
River Head early tomorrow. 1t is not
believed that the attack will be re-
newed during the night.
The attack was made upon Mrs.
Louise Gardesiene, wife of an employee
at the hotel The Chateux Des Beaux
Arst. The negro, who is a teamster
giving his name as George Washing
ton, sprang upon the woman in a
lonely section just outside the village.
He took to the woods when several
men ran toward the spot, attracted by
the woman's screams, but he was
caught, and with difficulty taken from
his citizen captors and lodged in jail.

FOR PROTECTION
OF THE NEGROES
GOVERNOR OF ARKANSAS ASKED
TO SEND TROOPS TO
TRUMAN.

JONESBORO, Ark, Aug. 16.-Gov.
Pindall has been asked to send troops
to Truman, small town near here, to
protect negro employees of the Spring
field Lumber C Cooperage Company
and prevent an anticipated clash be-
tween the races. Yesterday, it is
stated, J. B. Briggs, white employee
of the company, was forcing twelve
negroes, who were clearing land near
thep liant, to leave at the point of
pistol. On the way to Truman the
party were oyertaken by one Of the
company's foremen, who overpowered
Briggs and gave him into the custody
of officers who brought hi INTO Jones'
boro, where he was placed in Jail. An
attempt was made, 1t is said, by sew
eral hundred friends to rescue Briggs
from the officers. To protect the ne
groes, who have returned to work,
and because of belief that a racial
clash is probable the superintendent
of the mill has asked for troops.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Aug. 10
When seen tonight Gov Pindall de-
cline dto discuss the report that
troops be sent to T8ruman. Three
companies of State militia will go into
camp here tomorrow and it is thought
probable that only one company will
be sent to that place.

SPRINGFIELD is
QUIET AGAIN
suT CITY IS NOT FREE FROM
ALL DANGER FROM
MOB.

SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,, Aug. 17.-one
more victim was added to the death
list OF the Springfield mob tonight
when G.. ". Scott succumbed to a
gunshot wound in the lungs received
Friday night. His death brings the
total Of six, and is the fourth charge
able to the disorder in the BLACK
belt" near Twelfth and Madison
streets. 1t was here that the hunted
egrOes 1ade their stand firing upon
the heads the mob from windows
and roofs.
Another 6eath is expected momen-
tarily. W. H. Bowe, chief clerk in
the County Treasurers office, and
one of the most popular citizens. of
Springfield, is slowly sinking from the
effects of the bullet wounds and the
beating he received from a crowd of
negroes Friday night. Bowe's friends
have warned the authorities that Bill
ly" will be avenged and his death win
cause rebuilding of vigilance by the
troops commanders.
Vengeance Not Satisfied.
Wait until the troops CO." is the
word that has been passed around
town, and recognizing the strength of
the undercurrent the State, city and
county officials are taxing every eff
fort to turn public opinion toward law
and order To that end Gov. Deneen
has been In conference with officials
of various civic bodies, including the
Chamber of Commerce, the Spring
field Bar Association and the Evan
gelical Minister'S Association. Evil
dence is not lacking that many citi-
zens who were known to have impor-
tant testimony regarding the mob and
its leaders have been deferred from
offering this to the States Attorney
of threats of violence made against
them anonymously
THE riot could scarcely have been
avoided, and it is not in itself dis
grace to the city. The real disgrace
will come if the guilty are allowed to
escape" is the slogan of the authori-
ties now. So the civic bodies are
asked to urge all good citizens to re-
veal freely whatever of testimony
they may possess. Only sheer weight
of evidence is likely to break through
the local prejudice here and assure
convictions, according to the police
and other officials.
