FIGHT AT
Father Fatally Wounded and Two
Sons Shot.

2 athnr Fatally Wounded and TWO
sons Shot.
Triton, Ca, July 8.-A. Conger,
one OF. the most prominent farmers
of the western part Of Tiff county,
was shot and fatally wounded and his
two sons, Abraham and Barney, Sc
rlousIy wounded at Salem church, five
miles west of Triton, by Dempsey and
Jesse Taylor.
The difficulty grew out Of trouble
Of q years standing between Congers
and the Taylors, when they had rent
ed a crop on Conger's place. In the
Justices court at Ty Ty Saturday Con-
ger was a party to a suit against the
Taylors and the disagreement which
led up to the shooting grew out Of
this lawsuit.
The Tayiors came to the church and
called Conger out of Sunday school,
but after some words went away. At
ter Sunday school they returned and
some hot words, it is said, passed be-
tween them and Conger, when the ell
der Conger struck Dempsey Taylor
over the head with a stick and Tay-
lor drew his revolver and commenced
firing at him. One shot struck Con-
ger in the forehead, but glanced, in
ficting only a scalp wound. Another
struck him in the right breast and
another in the left breast, within an
inch Of the heart. Conger then
lodged under the buggy in which the
Taylors were sitting, and Taylor fired
on him again, this bullet striking him
near the hip and passing upward
through his stomach and inflicting in
turies which caused his death.
Jesse Taylor shot Barney Conger
through the thigh and Alb through the
arm, breaking the bone. At first,
the young Congers and Jesse and VIII
Taylor tried to act as peacemakers
until the shooting began. The Tay-
brs left soon afterwards and have
not been arrested, although it is un-
derstood that they are ready to sur
render. The elder Conger was the
only n fatally hurt

: E-As E-t-

at MexicaIl.
s~andtego, Cal, July js.-A special
TO the. union from Ell Centre, Cal. !,
says:
The outbreak Of the Mexican rev
dictionary movement appears to have
its seat at Mexicali, a typical from.
tier town Just across the border from
Ca1exico. The MexicaH people fear
that the reYolutionists will make an
attack upon the town and attempt to
capture the custom house and postof-
ace. Extra forces of .rurales patrol
Mexicalo. All shops were ordered
closed. An attack on the Mexicali
postohce by supposed revolutionists
was repulsed.
The robbers escaped to the Ameri-
can side, but 1t is reported that they
have been reinforced and will make
another attempt.

s WERE KILLED IN N YORK

Metropolis In Celebrating the Glorious
Fourth Rolls Up q Long List Of Fa-
taIlties and Aeeldent-A Noisy Gel
ebration.
New York, July THAT patriot
ism has kept pace with the rapid
growth of the country during the 13S
years that have elapsed since the sign
ing of the Declaration of independence
was evidenced Saturday by the noisi-
est demonstration in history. Blister
ed fingers and burned clothing char
acterized the majority of 500 900 or
so small boys who participated in the
celebration here, but, oh, what a time
they had.
The blistered fingers were proudly
displayed aud the boys who were
spanked for their clothing did not ap-
pear to fell as repentant as they
should.
Fortunately the death list was not
as large as some previous years. Six
deaths were reported and there were
200 persons injured by s p. m. The
hospitals and board of health stations
were filed with patients all day. A
number of the injured were so seri-
Dusly nurt that. they may die.
Police restrictions rearding the use
Of cannon crackers and firearms were
not needed by most of the celebrators
and as a result there were many ar
rests. The police courts had long
lines Of prisoners and not a few OF
the lawbreakers were melted opt Sc
we're punishment. The necessity OF
barring the use OF firearms was APP
parent early in the day. A youth
who took advantage OF the liberty
Of the day to practice shooting at q
paper target, shot and killed his Sis
ter, while another killed himself in
cleaning a revolver.
Two men at target practice on a
roof shot and killed a boy.
One Of the ironies Of the day was
the serious injury Of q fireworks sales
man who was hurt shooting on some
of his superfuous stock. Another
Of the victims OF the Fourth jumped
to death from a high bridge. He was
driven frantic by noise. The mans
body landed in the speedway far be-
low.
There was no cessation Of firing
from early Saturday afternoon. The
police made unusual efforts to enforce
the law and the fire department kept
an extra large number of 1refighters
on hand. The Hremen were on the
go all day, small fires being report
ed in all parts Of the city.
One OF the first celebrations Of the
day took place in Central Park when
the Stars and Stripes were raised over
the historical old blookhouse at the
northwest section of the park where
Washington made his stand when he
was retreating up Manhattan island.
Patriotic exercises we're held and sew
eral societies participated.
