Of low two-story house. A well
dressed Mexican, with newspaper
over his knee, was sitting on the bal
cony of his house, apparently intent on
watching our sailors advance; but hid
den under the paper he held q big re-
fred. The bullets were striking, but
our officers could hardly suspect a
welldressed Mexican, reading a paper
and looking peacefully on from his
own house, Of being the sniper.
Dropping his paper, the Mexican
went inside to reload. When he came
out again on the balcony the CLINT Of
the gun caught the attention of Lieu
tenant Colonel Neville on horseback in
the plaza, 1000 or more yards away
Through his eight-power f1eldglass the
colonel saw plainly the flash Of the
shots under the newspaper.
Get him." he said, turning to his
orderly.
The man raised his rifle, pressed the
trigger-and the Mexican fell out of
his chair.
Got him, sir" said the marine.

st. Louis, July 3.-In the jail at
East st. Louis, 500 ringleaders Of the
mobs that battled, lynched and shot
armed negroes yesterday and last
night are prisoners and the edge Is
taken from the mob spirit. Soldiers
are being rushed here and with bay
onets are clearing the streets. The
fires that brought millions of dollars
In losses are believed under control.
Through the smoking ruins the khaki
clad boys are prodding here, there and
everywhere, finding bodies Of the
blacks, charred and burned in the
flames of their own homes. Perhaps
the total dead will never be known,
but it may reach $50 and might even
60 higher.
The hospitals are crowded with shot
and burned negroes. Negro women
with babes are there. Medical assist
ance asked for has arrived. It is
thought by tonight all signs Of the riot
will be over and quiet restored.
The mobs in East st. Louis were
swelled by hundreds of people who
early in the evening crossed the river
from st. Louis, Mo. This added such
a menace to the situation that at $3.50
O'Clock the bridges were closed to all
vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
Five negro sections of the city were
fired by mobs, terrorized negroes fled
from the burning homes only to meet
bullets from the guns Of the rioters;
four other negroes were shot by snip
ers and two were lynched.
One white man was killed by ne
gro sniper and before the burning be-
gan four negroes and one white man
were killed. This includes the detec-
tive sergeant whose death at the
hands of a negro mob was the direct
cause of the outbreak.
Estimates of the number of dead
run UP to $50 and higher, but these
estimates are purely conjectural. The
exact number slaughtered probably
will never be known, as. it is thought
that many bodies were consumed in
the flames.
Adjt. Gen. Frank S. Dickson arrived
and took charge Of the situation. He
said troops would be distributed in
small groups throughout the city and
that they would be instructed to dis
perse every gathering of persons for
any purpose whatever.

MISS. TROOPS TO
ALEXANDRIA LA.
Not Known Whether Battery c. Will
Be Trained There or N0t-May
Go to Artillery Camp.

Reports from Washington as to
where the various state troops will
be sent stated that the Mississippi
troops go to Alexandria, La. one OF
the last two camps to be located. AS
to whether Battery c., is included in
that order is not known. The various
camps may, be, established for infan-
try work chiefly, and as the field ar
tillery comprises much smaller num-
Der of men separate camps may be
designated for that branch of service.
If the order means that all Missis-
sippi's troops are to go to Alexandria
then Battery c., will go there also. If
it means that only the infantry is to
be encamped there chen the final train
ing quarters of Battery c., is not
known
The Battery still has room for few
good men. During the last two weeks
several new members have been taken
in and few more can be taken before
the draft for the first National Army
is made.
It is estimated at Washington that
the draft will be made on Monday the
twenty third. If that estimate is right
registered men have a week In which
to volunteer their services with the
Battery and become connected with a
home organization and with the best
branch of the service.

OPEN MARKET
| PUBLIC TRAFFIC! !!
Committee from Young Mems Busi-
mess Club Requested that Street
Not be Closed Longer.

At the meeting of the Board of Di-
rectors of the Young Mems Business
Club last night committee Of three
consisting of Messrs. Hunt Jones, Har-.
vey Walker and Paul S. Freeman was
named to investigate the delay in the
paving of East Market street and to
ask the city authorities and the COM
tractors that the street be opened for
traffic during the delay.
The committee this morning saw
the City Engineer, Street Commission
er and the contractor on the job. They
found that the delay was occasioned by
shortage of cement. The request that
the street be opened for traffic dur
ing the delay was complied with as
follows:
Where the cement foundation has
been laid as long as two weeks the
street will be opened for all traffic.
The bayou bridge, which has been
blocked to traffic for some time, will
be opened to the public except for two
days during which time the cement
will be laid at the approach to the
bridge. During those days signs not
flying the public how to enter and
depart from the city will be posted
at both ends of the bridge. When the
cement is down it will be planked &C.
ross so that wagons and cars can PASS
over.
The contractors have agreed to keep
one street across town open at al!
times for traffic while Lamar street
is being paved.
The committee will report to the
meeting of the Club Tuesday night as
to the result of their investigation in
regard to the matter.
