among the farming folk.
go great la the number of the war
riors that the authorities are helpless.
The Indiana are defying the town ahd
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
feared, i 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.

also that the right negro had been
caught and saved from the mob and

Nsgro Shot in Log.
A rumor was current Monday morn
ing that a negro who had tried to run
from a party of searchers In Copenhlll
had been shot In the leg, but that he
wasn’t the right negro.
The crowd which wail at the scene
of the crime Monday afternoon and
night was reinforced by recruits from
the city who went out to the home.
There is no doubt that If the negro
were caught and Identified In that
neighborhood he would be done away
with In short order by the mob.
Mist Lawrence May Recover.
Miss Ethel Lawrence Is at the Wes
ley Memorial hospital, at Auburn und
Court land 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.
Hut one fracture was sustained by
Miss Lawrence and there are no signs
>f Internal Injuries. A blow fractured
:he bones of the nose dose to the fore
lead and will leave a disfiguring
round.
MIsM Lawrence recovered conscious-
less In a short time after being taken
rom the operating table Monday af-

hat time. At the hospital It Is be-
ieved that she has a reasonable chance

from the Kharkoff district bring i
of the killing and wounding of 67 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 so brave as you try to appear,
why did not you beat the Japanese?"
This taunt was the signal for a con

were without defense.
A mutiny la reported In Astrakan

arrested quietly by rural guards at El

It Is reported that the Insurgents are

DYNAMITE WAS USED
TO 8TAMP OUT FIRE,
Special Cable—Copyright.
Valparaiso, Aug. 21.—Shaking off the
panic and terror which followed the
awful calamity which has well-nigh
destroyed the city, Valparaiso Is now-
coming to herself, and thq 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 In
the public parks.
The soldiers have shot a number of
lad rones who were caught rifling the
dead and robbing buildings and their
bodies wore 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 are very energetic and sup
press all law-lessness and are supplying
food and camp comforts to the home
less population which is encamped In
the hills.
Blasts Stop Flamss.
Profiting by the example of San
Francisco, the flames which threatened
to completely wipe out the city were
stayed by the liberal use of dynamite
and other high explosives, of which
there was a large supply.
It will be Impossible for many days
to form an adequate Idea of the loss
of life or property. Estimates vary
as 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.
All Theaters in Ruins.
As a matter of fact, 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
cities 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 where the hanks are 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.
All 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 has been exhibited the most grat
ifying optimism among all classes.

While extravagant claims are being
made by both Estlll and Hoke Smith

STATE OF GEORGIA—Fulton County.
Personally appeared before me, a
notary public In and for said state
and county, Jno. W. Weils, who, being
sworn, says:
In answer to the statement of Capt.
Jno. Terrell, which appeared Jn The
Atlanta Journal of August 20th, to the
effect that I loafed about town and at
the fair grounds during my disability,
caused by the Injuries to my spine, and
that I Informed him that Mr. Thos. H.
Goodwin had advised me not to work .
because It would weaken my case
against the street car company, Is ab
solutely false and without foundation.
Further, I was hurt July 2d, 1908. I
was confined to my bed until about the
middle of August. On the 1st of Sep
tember I went back to the engine house
and tried to work. I stayed there until
the morning of the 6th, when my physi
cian advised me and at the same time
wrote Chief Joyner that 1 was physic
ally unable to stay at the engine house.
I then went home, but continued to go
to the engine house nearly every day.
und I say emphatically that Jno. Ter
rell never said anything to me about
going back to work or loafing after
September 6th.
On September 21st, while on'my way
home from the office of my physician,
I met Chief Joyner on the corner of
Edgewood nnd Peachtree streets, and
he then and there informed me "that
my pay would be stopped on that day,
and further he understood that I was
going to file a h—1 of a suit against the
street railway company."
