SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Aug. IT,
The presence of 5000 troops has
throttled the race war, and tonight
the riotous element, unable because
of bayonets to wreak their hate upon
the negroes, has turned its attention
to attempts to assassinate officers and
privates of the national guard. These
attempts broke the tranquility of the
city at midnight.
A score of shots were fired from
various sections of the city and the
troops are lying on their arms, ready
for emergency.
One attempt to kill made by rioters
was at Tenth and Edwards streets,
where Lieutenant H. c. Ridgeway of
Company E of the First infantry of

DID DOGGIE LIKE
WEDDING? ASKA
Miss Grace LewelIyn Jones
Struggles Terrier Into Church
to See Her Marriage
By Kathleen Thompson


That a prospective bride is not at
liberty to ask any and every guest she
pleases to her wedding is certainly
rather new idea, and when the par
ticular guest objected to is a friend
whose devotion is marked, whose rep
utation- and character are beyond
praise, and whose beauty is commented
upon wherever she goes-why. then it
sounds rather absurd to make any fuss
about asking her, doesn't it? Yet only
last week, when Miss Grace Llewellyn
Jones was completing her list of guests
for Saturdays brilliant wedding she
found to her disappointment and dis
may that 'Aska'' could not be asked.
To be sure, black and tan terriers,
however irresistible and however intel
Igent they may be, aren't usually bid
den to formal affairs, but then. as her
mistress pleaded, Aska wasn't like
other~dogs. The matter was discussed
for days, but the noes" had it from
the first. Feminine relatives shook
their heads, masculine advisers dis
missed the idea with disapproving
whistle, and even the authorities at the
church referred inflexibly to the rule
prohibiting dogs.
Aska, it was conceded, could have a
place (and, incidentally. she did at the
wedding breakfast. could wear her
wedding costume of satin collar and
silver bells, could have one of the
brides first embraces-but to go to the
wedding she simply and positively and
absolutely. shouldn't. But she did. For
Miss Grace, who is now Mrs. Robert
Gibson, impressed an obHging friend
and a large. fluffy wrap into her tolls,
and bided her time.
The friend was Mrs. Clarence Smith,
who as Alice Prescott Smith is well
known in literary circles here through
her two books, The Legatee" and
Mont Livet' On the wedding morn
ing Mrs. Smith drove to the Jones house
in Sacramento street in coupe and
ran upstairs for moment, during
which time gales of laughter came
Smith ran down to the carriage again.
she had a fluffy cape OF lace and chif-
fon tucked under her arm
She entered Trinity church just ahead
of the bridal party and of the 200 So
ciety folk present not one noticed the
gentle stirring of her wrap as she went
up the aisle. or heard the little asth-
matte wheeze of content with which
Aska settled down in the front pew
heart OF the family group that the
tiny dogs bright eyes watched her
adored mistress through the ceremony.
OF course, Aska is only dog, and
has no manners. and this was her first
wedding besides. so it is not surpris-
ing that she didn't know enough to
crane her head back and bow to her
friends, whisper continually, comment
on frocks and music, make luncheon
engagements, stealthily inspect her
self in tiny mirrors, rearrange her
veil, pull off her gloves. discuss other
weddings, yawn, change her place and
ask every 10 seconds IL they weren't
frfghtfuIly late, which Gas we all
know is the only proper way to act at
a wedding.
But she behaved quietly and amiably
nevertheless and was carried in and
out, absolutely undetected, which is
quite enough to exact Of anything that
weighs only about FIVE pounds and
numbers even fewer years.

from ambush. The officers were walk
ing in the street when bullet struck
at the feet of Lieutenant Ridgeway
throwing dust into his face. A second
bullet struck the scabbard of Lieuten-
ant Case The source of the shots
could not be discovered, although the
soldiers secured the neighborhood,
ready to fire upon the mauraders.
About the same time at Spring and
Edwards streets Privates Earl Ashley
and Guy Duncan of Company ID or the
Fourth infantry were fired upon. They
were not wounded, and attempts made
by troops to find the would-be assassin
proved fruitless.
GRAND JURY MILL WORKS
Outside of these demonstrations
Springfield has been tranquil for "a
hours-so tranquil. in fact, that Cow
ernor Deneen was able to set in motion
the grand jury machinery.
He expects to indict fully 100 men for
murder in connection with the lynching
of the two negroes. The governor says
he has the evidence which will send
fully 100 men to the penitentiary, even
if some of them do not go to the gal
lows.
Under the Illinois law it is not al
and actually assist in a murder. AS a
result of the famous anarchy trial in
Chicago in the SOS, a man was hanged
for murder although he was two miles
away when the murder was committed.
G. W. Scott, white man, who was
shot through the lungs during the riots
Friday night, died at st. Johns hos
pital at $50 this evening. The other
death was that of the three weeks old
4 - frc

child died from exposure as the result
of a night of flight from Pittsheld
w. H Bowe, chief clerk of the county
treasurer's office, who was attacked
and shot by negroes Saturday morning
while walking through the burned dis
trict, is reported dying at St. Johns
hospital. The states attorney this after
noon secured from him an ante -morten
statement for use before the grand
jury.
BAYONETS HOLD MOB
While the mob element remains i'm
potent before the bayonets of 5000 SOL
dier's, States Attorney Frank L. Hatch
and his aids, backed by Governor De-
neen and the chamber of commerce of
Springfield, are prepared to secure the
Indictment for murder of every person
against whom they can find evidence
of guilty participation in a fatal riot.
Specific evidence to secure such indict-
nents is ready for presentation to the
grand jurors.
While the root of the trouble is
known to be in corrupt public admin
istration the first effort will be to give
an object lesson to the element which
lynched the negroes and Indirectly
caused the death of white men. Squads
OF detectives today searched houses
and brought in loot taken from the
stores and Loper's restaurant, which
will be used as evidence. Confessions
were obtained from some OF the roughs
under arrest in the county Jail and
the police station.
The grand jury will begin work to-
morrow at o'clock. In addition to
