MASS A CRE B Y INDIANS
IS FEARED IN NEVADA
700 Utes Quit Reser
vation and Are Pil
laging Ranches.
By Private Leased Wire.
Douglas, Nev„ Aug. 21.—Seven hun
dred Ute Indians are oft the reserva-
tlon here, and they have spread terror
among the farming folk.
So great is the number of the war
riors that the authorities are helpless.
The Indians are defying the town and
county officials and are committing
havoc wherever they go. They have
broken Into scores of homes, routed
out the farmers and their families and
ransacked the houses. They have
driven off cattle, sheep,and horses by
the thousands.
A repetition of the Meeker massacre
Is feared. Every report tells of bolder
outrages. The news from the outlying
ranches and small farm district Is re
stricted today, and up to the early
morning hours no murders have been
reported.
It Is believed that only the presence
of Federal troops will restore order. If
the outrages continue an appeal for
Federal aid will be made today.

NEGRO IS HELD;
FEAR MOB LAW
Confined from Page One,
had occurred and that the state militia
had been called out were flying about
nil Tuesday morning. It was reported
also that the right negro had been
raught and' saved from the mob and
again that Miss Ethel Lawrence, the
older of the two young women, had died
as a result of the brutal attack.
Nagro Shot in Leg.
A rumor was current Monday morn
ing that a negro who had tried to run
from a party of searchers in CopenhlU
had been shot In the leg, but that he
wasn't the right negro.
The crowd which was at the scene
of the crime Monday afternoon and
night was reinforced by recruits from
the city who went out to the home.
There fs no doubt that it the negro
were caught and identified In that
neighborhood he would be done away
with. In short order by the mob.
Mist Lawrence May Recovar.
Miss Ethel Lawrence Is at the Wes
ley Memorial hospital, at Auburn and
Courtland avenues, where the nurses
believe that she has a chance of re
covery. Her left eye is entirely gone,
the wound showing the mark of a blow
or a brutal gouging. There Is a long
scalp wound In the back of‘her head.
Rut one fracture was sustained by
Miss Lawrence and there are no signs
of Internal Injuries. A blow fractured
the bones of the nose close to the fore
head and will leave a disfiguring
wound- . . ,. _ „ .
Mina ’Lawrence recovered conscious
ness in a short time after being taken
from the operating table Monday af
ternoon, nnd has been conscious since
that time. At'the hospital It Is be
lieved that she has a reasonable chance
of recovery.
Another Negro Caught.
A message was received at the coun
ty Jail shortly before noon that a ne
gro answering the description of the
man who committed the crime had been
captured at Lawrencevllle In Gwin
nett county, about thirty miles from
Atlanta. Inquiry at Lawrencevllle fail

sheriff has been Informed that a posse
Is on Its way to Atlanta with the cap

St. Petersburg, Aug. 21.—Reports
from the Kharkoff district bring news
of the killing and wounding of 57 peas
ants by Russian soldiers at a country
fair. The peasants had become en
raged at the overbearing action of the
troops and somebody shouted: "If you
were sp brave as you try to appear,
"’hy did not you beat the Japanese?"
This taunt was the signal for a con
certed charge upon the peasants, who
were without defense.
A mutiny is reported in Astrakan
province. A number of teachers had
been arrested and were being taken
away by the police when a large body
of Cossacks attacked the police and set
the teachers free. The prefect and alt
the local authorities have been locked

The czar is said to favor constitu

DYNAMITE WAS U8ED
TO STAMP OUT FIRE.
Special Cable—Copyright.
Valparaiso, Aug. 21.—Shaking off th?
panic and terror which followed tha
awful calamity which has well-nigh
destroyed the city, Valparaiso Is now
coming to herself, and the leading men
of the community are’ communicating
with the authorities In relieving the
immediate needs of the sufferers In the
camps on the surrounding hills and irt
the public parks.
The soldiers have shot a number of
lodroneH who were caught rifling the
dead and robbing buildings and their
bodies were suspended from telephone
poles at the street corners bearing large
placards reading:
"Por Ladrone"—a warning to looters.
The situation Is now well in hand. The
authorities arc very energetic and sup
press all lawlessness and are supplying
food and camp comforts to the home
less population which Is encamped In
the hills.
Blasts Stop Fiamss.
Profiting by the example of San
Francisco, the flames Vhlch threatened
to completely wipe out the city were
stayed by the liberal use of dynamite
nnd other high explosives, of which
there was a large suppjy.
It will be Impossible for many days
to form an adequute Idea of the loss
of life or property. Estimates vary
ns to the death list from 200 to 3,000
In this city alone, and the estimates
of loss of property range between $75,-
000,000 and $300,000,000.
AH Theaters In Ruins.
As a matter of tact, it is impossible
as yet to more than guess at either. It
Is evident that Valparaiso Is the cen
ter of the seismic disturbance, most of
the destruction among the smaller
titles having occurred within 100 miles
of this place. While the destruction
was considerable at the capital city of
Santiago, 76 miles to the south, that
city suffered far less than Valparaiso.
The greatest force of the shock here
seemed to center around the commer
cial district w'here the hanks ate situ
ated. Most of the buildings there were
either demolished or badly damaged.
Practically the whole of the eastern
two-thirds of the city also Is destroyed.
All the theaters are In ruins.
AH Classes Optimistic.
The fact that President-elect Montt
is expected here today or tomorrow has
done much to help the spirits of the
people. It Is a notable fact that since
they recovered from the first shock
there hns been exhibited the most grat
ifying optimism among all classes.

been placed In command of all forces
employed against the Insurgents. It Is
reported also that there is a cabinet
crisis, and that Senor O'Farrill, secre

and the preference shown for former
autonomists and Spaniards.
New Battle Reported.
A new' battle Is reported to have been
fought in Plnar del Rio province,* In
which the government troops were de

losses on both sides were heavy.

of enthusiasm is for enlistment In the

Statement and Affidavit of P. M. Moody
Mr. P. M. Moody, one of the gentle
men who has made a statement to the
effect that firemen went to the farm of
W. R. Joyner, In. Cobb county, and
worked while on the regular pay roll
of the city, reaffirms the statement that
he, with Walker, took down wire from
the poles of Atlanta and carried it to
Joyher’s Cobb county farm. That the
w'lre was taken from Smith, Marietta*
Whitehall and Peters streets, the wire
being No. 10, which was replaced by
the city with Insulated copper wire.
Mr. Moody also states that he was
"fired” from the fire department for tho
simple reason that he would not submit
to tyrannical methods used by Mr.
Joyner and that he defies any member
of the department to show where he
was derelict In his duty.
