MEXICAN RIOT, EIGHT DEAD.
Store is Attacked and Members of the
Mob Are Shot Down.

OaXaca, Mex, July 10.-Eight men
were killed and more than fifteen
wounded in political riot at Ocotlan.
Partisans of Bento Juarez, one of the
two candidates for governor, inaugu
rated the riot by leading an attack on
the mercantile establishment of Diaz
brothers, relatives of General Felix
Diaz, the opposition candidate for gov.
ernOr.
Armed resistance on the part of the
occupants of the store increased the
fury of the mob, who ran amuck
through the principal streets breaking
windows of private residences and
business houses. In short time the
partisans OF Diaz rallied and their
leaders led them in a counter move.
Few other factions were armed with
anything better, revolvers, clubs,
stones and knives being weapons most
frequently welded.
Merchants, owners Of stores attack
ed, posted themselves in many cases
on top of their buildings and shot into
the attacking mob. Most of the deaths
are ascribed to them.
The opposition afforded by the mob
of Diaz supporters served to increase
the tumult in the streets, but also to
reduce the fury of the attacks upon
business houses. The local authori-
ties were powerless to restore order
and the fighting continued most of
the night.
The companies of soldiers were sent
from here to Ocotlan this morning to
garrison the town. During the fight
ing the house of Seckbatch, an Eng
lish firm, raised the British flag, but it
proved no protection, the mob attack
ing the structure as it did the others,
but no great damage was done.

HARD FOR PLAYER TO QUIT.
Davy Jones Says Call of Baseball 10
Too Strong.

It Is difficult for big league player
or a minor Lacquer, for that matter,
to quit baseball. Davy Jones. the left
fielder of the Detroit Tigers, thinks so,
and Davy admits that when the time
comes for him to lay aside his uniform
for the last time he will! find the task
a hard one.
Davy is one ball player who should
not worry about the future He has
an established drug store. does a profit
able business, has a long lease and Il
competent partner in his brother. Still
Davy hates to think of the time when
he will have to quit.
1t Is not case Of not being able TO
pursue some other line Of business,
but not wanting to, in the case of the
ball player. He has lived the life Of
the game, and its features have got
into his system. The call is too strong.
