Cus Fite, Jr , Writes About Trouble
Between Pol ce and Marines
Gus Fite, Jr., writes the News
and Couiant Iroiu Pensacola, Fla.,
as follows.
I send you copy of the Pensacola
Journal dated April 17, 1904,
which gives an account of the liot
between the marines and the police.
The riot occurred about 7:30 p. m.
on Zarragossa str et. I was ending
up tuy day’s work at the express
office when the riot began. The
express office is only one block
from where the riot was; aijd o
course heard the shooting vert
plainly. The authorities ot Pensa
cola I think should take some ot
the blame on themselves for this
riot, as they have allowed the 111a
lines to have their own way since
tney arrived in Pensacola. The
person killed in this riot was not a
marine but was a private in the
Seventh conmpany ot the Coast
sirtillery, and it looks verv plainh
tnat he was kiLed by a stiay bul
1 t delivered hum the pistol of ai
office. What Caused the riot 1
am unable to say lor no one .eeni
to know exactly. The polit e ran
~t the beginning 01 the tint but
turned and began firing rapidly in
e 'v 'diectio' . I‘he oo’ice vvert
the only ones using fire arms as no
one saw any marines using any.
The Pensacola Journal gives the
correct account of the dead and
wounded. Everything seeuisquiet
today, but am unable to say what
might be the results of the not.”
The Journal says:
According to Police Officers
Burnham. Villar and Pnhtell. win
were stationed on the beat, which
includes Bayien and Zarragossa
streets, they had just arrested a
bluejacket 011 .South Bayien street
and had,carried him to patrol box
at the corner of Bayien aud Zarra
gossa streets, and turned him over
to the wagon officer. The wagon
had just left they stated, when
some man from the ships, whom
they thought was a non-comniis
sioued officer, drew a whittle from
his blouse and gave a signal. As
soon as this signal was sounded
fully three hundred me’ 1 gathered
at the corner, and in a moment had
rushed the three officers. The
latter were separated. Officer Villar
was being forced north on Bay
ien street, while Officer Pnhtell
and Burnham were being forced
east on Zarragossa street towards
Palafox. The men followed the
office..s, hurling stones, bottles and
every other missile that came to
hand, at them. Officer Burnham
stumbled and fell to the sidewalk.
In an instant there was a crowd
kicking and beating him. He drew
his revolver and fired two shots in
the air, and this gave him time to
recover his feet, and he backed off
towards where Officer Puktell was
endeavoring to keep back a hun
dred or more. In the heat of the
battle the officers leveled their
revolvers into the crowd and began
firing as fast as they could pull
the triggers. This broke the crowd
considerably, and the distress
whistles of the officers brought out
the entire day force, which had
just marcned to the station, with
Marshal Schad, Captain Frank and
Captain Fondebilla in command.
A rush was made upon the crowd,
and by doing so the angry men
were dispersed to a certain extent
When the crowd was cleared
away somewhat, one man, Private
Banks, of Fort Barrancas, was
found dead upon the sidewalk on
Zarragossa stieet, between
and Palafox. The patrol was
quickly summoned, and the dead
man sent away as quickly as possi
ble, as the sight of him seemed to
anger the men who had gathered
about. Marshal Schad took com
mand of the district, and assisted
by Captains Fondebilla and Frank,
succeeded, after much hard wcrk,
to break up the groups of men who
would form, and who threatened to
rush the officers at any moment-
Officers Ray, Connors, Puhtell,
Simpson, Burnham, Neel, Ether
idge, Kelley, Ingraham, Jones,
Villar, Schmitz Qud Murphy,
patrolled up and down Zarragossa
in squads, but it was more than an
hour before any semblance of
order was restored. The blue
jackets and soldiers who were
>. adhered in various portions of the
city would hear of the shooting,
and would immediately rush to
that point, and more trouble would

appropriation of over $137,000,000,

per month.

HELP THE ORPHANS.
From the Mall Box of the Decatur
Orphans’ Home.
“There are four children in Bar
tow county whose mother is dead,
whose father is a lunatic, whose
kindred are too poor and feeble to
care for them. They are entirely
destitute, and are in a pitiable con
dition.”—The Ordinary.
F'rom Cherokee county: “I write
in the interest of five orphan chil
dren. Their mother died a few
weeks ago. Their tath ris a crip
ple, with no means to support
them.”
Read this letter: “Flarly I was
called to the door, and found three
children in a pitiable condition.
They had spent the night in the
station house, and were hunting
for their sister. Their mother left
them a month ago, running away
with another woman's husband;
her whereabouts are unknown.
The older sis'ters have gone to the
dogs. The father is dead, and I
have heard that, although they
were poor, he tried to live light,
and was well thought of. Can you
take them to the Decatur Orphans’
Home?”
This is a glimpse into one day’s
mail. Eighty such children have
had to be accepted for admission
already this year. This home de
sires good, childless homes for
many little orphans.
An American ladv living in
Mexico had a cook who could not
read, or even tell the hour by the
clock, but she boiled eggs with
perfect accuracy, When asked
one day: ‘But how do you know
when they are ready, Chucha?”
she answered with a smile that
showed all her fine teeth: ‘Senor.l
boil them by the Credo.’ She had
been taught, like other Mexican
village girls, to patter off the
Apostles’ creed. She did not know
quite well what the words meant,
but they just did nicely to boil
eggs v .th. She put the eggs in
the pot (in the coffee pot with the
coffee, but that is a mere detail,)
ard began to say her creed. At
ameu the eggs were ready.

Indigestion Causes
Catarrh of the
Stomach^
For many years it has been supposed that
Catarrh of the Stomach caused indigestion
and dyspepsia, but the truth is exactly the
opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re
peated attacks of indigestion inflames the
mucous membranes lining the stomach and
exposes the nerves of the stomach, thus caus
ing the glands to secrete mucin instead of
the juices of natural digestion This is
called Catarrh of the Stomach.
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure
relieves all inflammation of the mucous
membranes lining the stomach, protects the
nerves, and cures bad breath, sour risings, a
sense of fullness after eating, indigestion,
dyspepsia and ail stomach troubles.
