CAN SAVE MONEY BY
BUILDING BRIDGE
Board of Affairs Will Try
to Keep the Work
Going.

The City Board of Affairs held a
meeting yesterday afternoon at which
time discussion relative to the river
bridge was had. The matter had to
do with whether or not the work on
the bridge should continue at this
time or be stopped until spring. II
was the consensus of opinion OF the
Board that the work should proceed
without delay and some plan will be
devised whereby the work may pro-
ceed.
At the conference the contracting
and supervising engineers stated to
the board that the structure is practi-
cally forty per cent complete and that
there has already been a sum approx
mating $225,OOO expended on 1t and
about $560,000 is needed to complete
the structure. A conservative esti-
mate of the saving in salvage by con-
tinuing to build at once was given as
$175.0O0.
At this time splendid aggrega-
tion of workmen has been assembled
by the contracting engineer Samuel
Fuller and to allow this group Of
workmen to disband and leave the
city would be disastrous and greatly
retard the building of the structure.
Nothing definite was arrived at dur
ing the conference.

CHICAGO, July 29.-The police list
OF riot fatalities rose to "a at 1880
this morning when Thomas Joshua.
negro, was shot by detective who
fired into crowd OF rioters on the
South side and when 3. f, Hardy me-
gro, died at hospital.
An exodus Of negroes TO the north
and west sides began as the fighting
was at its height. Some $4,000 other
negroes already lived in those parts
of the city and the police took pre-
cautions to stop any resentment shown
by whites at the added population OF
negroes. This was stopped again a.
day break by the street car strike.
A few whites were panned in their
homes by angry negroes and had to
telephone for police aid to escape. One
family managed to elude the negroes
by backing their faces and departing
in disguise, but aside from few such
instances persons living in or near
the war zone were unmolested, proper
ty remaining secure IL they remained
in their zone.
Taxi cab drivers as news Of the feud
spread refused to take passengers into
the disturbed district and residents
who lived along the street car lines
that were stopped walked through the
field of battle. AS far as the police
could learn these persons suffered no
affront If they went quietly along their
way.
The various affrays owed their in
itiative about equally to the two races
although the caucasians seemed to be
the prime aggressers. The negroes
starting assaults more as counter Of
fensives. A captain in the black belt
ascribed the trouble as hoodlumism OF
negroes who came to Chicago during
the last two years to make up the
shortage In labor caused by the war.
During the night hospitals In the
region became filled and doctors were
all overworked caring for the injured.
A negro corpse was taken into the
establishment Of white undertaken
and soon a crowd threatened to at
tack the place. News of this spread
and there after dead negroes would
not be accepted by white mortuaries.

Sheriff GIover's Dogs Are
Aiding in Hunt for
Thieves.
WOMAN BADLY BEATEN.
Three Foreigners Who
Committed the Crime
Headed This Way.

A hurry-up call was received at the
sheriff's office this morning to come
to Shinnston with the blood hounds
to assist in trailing three robbers who
this morning entered the home of Mrs.
George Yandrich at the Willard mine
of the Virginia and Maryland Coal
company near Shinnston, and robbed
her of $1,S00. In her struggle to regain
the money she was severely beaten up
and at a late hour this afternoon was
in a very serious condition.
The three foreigners came to the
Yandrich home about 10 o'clock this
morning and asked for drink of wa
ter. Mrs. Yandrich went outside TO
the well to draw a pail of water and
while she was on the outside the three
foreigners entered the house and stole
the money. She discovered what was
occurring and made an effort to gel
into her home. According to q report
Of willard mine residents, she knock
ed one of the robbers to the ground and
was beating up the second one when
the third interfered. The three meI
were too much for her and all three
after beating the woman shamefully
made good their escape.
The men all wore green caps and
started on the county road toward
Fairmont. This afternoon one of the
men was captured at Everson by
aJmes Dean, Fairmont man. When
arrested he had $500 in cash in his
pockets.
The money stolen represented the
savings of Mrs. Yandrich and her son
for ten years. Her husband is not in
this country as he went back to Aus
tria at the beginning of the war and
entered the Austrian army.
