 Springfield, Ill.,, Aug. 17.-Satur. days race rot has spread to several near by villages and appeals are com ing in for protection, the citizens fearing that trouble even more serious will result before the present intense hatred is appeased. Warnings of inn pending riots have been received from several sources and there is general uneasiness throughout the surround ing country. Two deaths occurred yesterday from injuries received in Saturdays fight and others are in a dangerous condition. An attempt was made last night to cut the fire alarm wires, which would doubtless have been followed by further outrages, but the attempt was discovered by the guardsmen who pursued and scattered the mob which had collected. Earl Nelson of Kankakee was seen by a soldier attempting to break into car. The soldier ordered him to stop and when Nelson presisted he was shot and killed by the guardsman. The town is practically under martial law and but few of the better class of people dare venture into the lower part of town. There is co onstant fear that the situation will again get be- yond control of the militia. but great credit is given them for their eff. c5ive work Saturday and yesterday.
