turbdnCeS Continue

Springfield, Aug. 1S.-Attacks upon
the pickets and a forced hegira of
$50 negroes from cornfields On the
outskirts of the city to the state ar
senal kept the militia busy this morn
ing. Firing upon the sentries and
their answering shots occurred less
than two blocks from the neadquar-
ters of General Young at the county
jail. No one was hurt but the firing
caused CONSERVATION in the district.
The trouble followed an attempt to
set fire to a building on Eighth street
between Jefferson and Madison. A
negro, who had been ordered away
from the place several times during
the night was discovered lurking in
shadow by private who ordered him
to move on. The negro's reply was a
shot from a revolver.
He then dashed down the street and
two other troopers fired at him but
the shots went wild. Company II
First Infantry was sent to place dou-
BILE quick and the alleys and adjacent
houses were searced unsuccessfulIy.
The affair occurred shortly before
daybreak and was the third occasion
during the night in which attempts
were made to assassinate militia
pickets.

LOCAL DISTURBANCES
OF SLIGHT SEVERITY
Records Show That Shocks We're
Confined to Limited Area and
Only Few Thousand Dollars
Damage Was Done Though
First TremOr Was Severe.

Eureka, Calf, Aug. 1S.-Three
sharp earthquake shocks we're felt
here, one at O'Clock this morning
and the last at $50. The first was
the heaviest and did some ramage to
the walls of ola building. but no one
was injured. The crockery in many
houses was broken and the sleepers
awakened. 1t is not believed that any
serious damage was done in the town,
although the walls of the court house
were slightly cracked. Eureka Is in
Mendocino county on the coast, 215
miles north of San Francisco.
An investigation shows there were
three shocks, and the sharpest oc-
CURED at 2:5S a. m. 1t was almost as
severe as the one first felt April IS,
1908. At sos slighter shock was
felt and the third at $50. The first
shock caused practically all the dam
age. More than one hundred Chin
neys were prostrated and about forty
plate glass windows In the business
portion were broken.
The damage so far reported Is es-
timated at between two and three
thousand dollars. The sixteen foot
statue of Minerva on the court house
dropped its heavy staff which crashed
through the roof. Besides cracking
the walls of the ,ourt house, the walls
of the Carnegie library building were
slightly cracked. Reports from Seazy
ranch near Freshwater. six miles
north of Eureka. state that the
earthquake caused big fissure in the
earth for half a mile A nurnher of
chimneys In that vicinity were thrown
down, but otherwise little damage
was done. The shocks extended as
far north as Blue Lakes. 25 miles
from Eureka, where crockery was
broken and half a dozen chimneys
knocked down.
