SITUATION AT TABRIz ACUTE
Foreigners Fear Trouble In Event
Fighting Takes Place In Streets,

London, July 2.-The situation at
Tabriz, Persia, continues to be very
serious. Private dispatches received
here say that the people have erected
barricades in the streets and the fight
ing is going on night and day.
Tabriz and the entire province Of
Azerbaijan are strongholds Of the
revolutionists and the arrival there of
troops to strengthen the forces of the
shah has increased the danger of the
situation. The entry of the troops to
the city is opposed by the revolution.
airy forces. All the bazaars have been
closed, and there has been some loot
ing of the residences of delegates to
the assembly and business houses,
Increasing cause for alarm is found
in the fact that Tabriz is surrounded
by Rachin Khan and his horsemen.
They are supporters of the shah and
utterly without discipline. Should
these riders be turned loose on the
city, the lives OF even the foreigners
there would be in danger.

Des Moines, July 2.-One man was
killed, three were seriously injured
and half dozen were slightly hurt in
a wreck when a Great Western work.
train crashed into the Rock Island
Indianola local at the East Sixteenth
street crossing.
The truck of tender on the work
train passed entirely into the smoking
car of the Rock Island passenger, pin
ming seven passengers in the rear end
of the car. The overturning of the
coach sent three trunks pounding on
the PROSTATE form of Baggagemen w.
II. Urbahns, so injuring him that he
died on the way to the hospital.
The wreck was caused by the efforts
OF the engineers of both trains to
make the crossing at the same time
Both claim to have whistled for the
crossing and both sent their engines
toward II at fair speed.
The Great Western work engine
was backing west, pushing lone ten
der, which struck the passenger and
threw 1t from the track. The Indian.

GREGORY HAS FIRST FIRE
Rosebud Town Experiences First Blaze
Two Horses Burn.

Gregory, s. d., July Especial to
The News: Not to be outdone by
Dallas, which recently experienced its
first fire, Gregory comes this week
with its initial fire. A big barn be-
longing to p. Myrick burned to the
ground. Two horses were burned in
the fire.
The barn, which is in the northern
part of the city and located across the
street and on the corner of the alley
from Mr.. Myricks residence, caught
fire, presumably from some boys
shooting fireworks or smoking cigar
cites. 1t was a great solid mass Of
flames before hardly anyone knew that
there was fire. The members of the
fire department rushed to the reel
house and in a short time had three
streams playing upon the burning
building. The fire had made such
Roadway that nothing but the charred
posts and one side of the barn wall
were left standing.
A team of horses belonging to Mr..
Myrick were standing in the barn with
the harness on, but the fire had gained
such Roadway by the time discovered
that it was impossible to save them.
This was the first time the citys
new water system was ever tested by
an actual fire. The great pressure OBJ
tanned from the three nozzles has con-
WINGED everyone that Gregory has one
of the best water systems in this part
of the state. The reservoir for the
Gregory system is big concrete tank
holding 10000 barrels, located on top
OF the Gregory butte more than 100
feet above the city. And thus gives
pressure of more than three atmos-
pheres. 1t is visible for miles in every
direction, standing as a grim guarantee
that the city of Gregory need never
fear fire.
