Riotous Soon* at Aatnitauu. •t Rock Island, 111., a small riot growing out of strife between the sophomores and freshman classes took place at Augustana College. After a number of exciting encounters between the two classes during the day a mob of hoodlums, forty in number, assem­ bled near the college and made an at­ tack on the gymnasium. There they found a number of students, whom they roughly handled, some being in­ jured. The building was considerably damaged. The police were summoned, but the mob dispersed before their ar­ rival. A niynber of warrants were jewora out, and arrests will be made. lAad-OwBM Kll'ed. As sequel to a trivial controversy over a land boundary, B. P. Caldwell, a prominent land owner near Man­ chester, 111., was struck on the bead Wednesday afternoon by I. N. Swart- wood, a neighbor, and died of his in­ juries a few hours later. There were nq witnesses to the affray, and Swart- wood's version is all that can be ob­ tained as Caldwell died without regain­ ing consciousness. Swartwood escaped and was pursued by the sheriff of Scott county with bloodhounds. Caldwell is survived by a widow and one son. He was a wealthy land owner, known throughout the state.

The Hor* of Two Wan aad Mmy Boots Mm* White Halt Agala*t OStoers Who Attempt to Imom hoM^Good* A pitched battle, in which the par­ ticipants were General Cassius M. Clay, the old lion of White hall, on one side, and a sheriff's posse, headed by Deputy Sheriff R. W. Collyer, on the other, took place Friday morning at White hall, the home of General Clay, eight miles north of Richmond, Ky. The officers were attempting to seise some househould goods belonging to Mrs. Mary K. Clay, the general's daughter, which the general refused to surrender. Some time ago General Clay, who, since his divorce from his child wife, IiMra Richardson Clay, has been liv­ ing alone, induced his daughter and her son, Attorney Green Clay, to make their home with him. Everything went smoothly until Sunday, when the general's daughter returned from the city with a number of young girl friends. As the gay party drove up to the house General Clay appeared at the door and ordered his daughter and her girl visitors away, emphasizing his order with a revolver. Mrs. Clay returned to the home of her sister at Richmond and sent her son out to see what had caused the sudden hostility. He, too, met a hos­ tile reception, and had to take refuge behind a tree to escape the murderous bullet of the irate old general. Seeing it was useless to try to pacify his grandfather. Green Clay secured a writ of delivery for the goods, attd, |j| < Arberttts Lin**aier, aaetOn •deraum family, died ii| hospital on Tuesday after' livni for #** years on a diet and water. Lindmaier'a father was a general in the German army and one ©f his ferotbsim isprofessor of lan­ guages In a German university. Und ldaier became estranged from his fam­ ily and got but little of his mother's large estate. A scholar, speaking ten languages, fitted to shine in almost any calling had it not been for his •ccentrictles, Lindmaler five years ago gave up a place he bad with Delmonl co's, where he was a sort of superin­ tendent, and thereafter took upon him­ self what he called a "penance," sus­ taining his life solely on bread and water. Although wasted to a mere shadow, no amount of persuasion could make him change his mode of living. Durirfg the day -hfe sat in the park reading. ° At night he slept in aome Bowery lodging-house. M^ Sr'fs BwIm BlOom An Killed. The London Daily Express has re­ ceived the following from its corre­ spondent at Geneva: "A terrible riot has occurred at Dienne, in the Valley of Chamonix, owing to the Municipal Council selling land on which the peo­ ple had enjoyed grazing rights. The inhabitants tried to set fire to the town hall and a fierce conflict ensued be­ tween the rioters and the gendarmes. Ten persons were killed and ftfteeshin- Jured." . Hanging for Kidnapers. Kidnaping for ransom is made a capital offense, according to a bill which has passed the Illinois house. It carries an emergency clause, giving it immediate effect if the senate takes similar action and the governor agrees. It also provides that the kid­ naper may 'be tried in any county through which the criminal may have been carried by his captors. The bill went through without debate. Victim of HaabMd'i Doe|$f* ̂ Mrs. William Hancock and her hus­ band of Helena, Mont., quarreled a short time ago and Hancock told his wife that they were not legally mar­ ried. She took his word for it and married a railroad man named Mc- Call. Then Hancock had both of them arrested, and Mrs. McCall has, upon the advice of her attorney, pleaded guilty to bigamy. She was sentenced to three months in the penitentiary. Bia Mother and Brother. M Kline's Grove, a small country village, a few miles from Sunbury, Pa., John Gulick, aged 32, killed his moth­ er, aged 68, and his brother Phillip, aged 27.

As a result of dissatisfaction over long sermons and subsequent bicker­ ings the relations between the First Reformed church of South Bend. Ind., and its pastor, Rev. J. Dirk, have bees dissolved by mutual consent. toys He Killed Millionaire Rice. Valet Charles F. Jones, who con­ fessed originally that Lawyer Albert T. Patrick chloroformed the old mil­ lionaire, William Marsh Rice, and con­ fessed, secondly that Patrick killed Rice by administering mercury, testi­ fied at New York that he himself pois­ oned Rice with mercury and oxalic acid and killed him with chloroform, all at Patrick's suggestion, because Patrick's plot to get the old man's money hsd reached a point where Rice must die to make things safe. ' tfcurter*a Stealings Lncatrd. ,, - Officers are said to have found the whereabouts of nearly all the $722,060 which Oberlin M. Carter, former cap? tain if engineers, was convicted of stealing while he had" charge of har­ bor improvement work at Savannah, Ga. The money is invested in real es-, tate and securities, and it is expected that a considerable sum will be re­ covered for the government The ar­ rest of two or three well-known men charged with knowingly protecting Carter's operations is likely to follow. Carter is now serving a five years' term of imprisonment in Leavenworth penitentiary as the result of convic­ tion by a court-martial. The govern­ ment lost $2,500,000, but much of thfcf went to Carter's accomplices. k Boy Slavs In a Quarrel, An ill feeling has existed' between the town and country boys at Odon, hear Washington, Ind., for some time, and it culminaced in murder. With a friend Harley Lamb went to Odon to attend an entertainment, and as they were riding down the main street several of the young men of the town angered them with jokes. Lamb and his friend leaped from their horses to resent the insult, and Lamb accused Walter Correll of leadership in the matter. Correll struck Lamb in the face and Lamb cut Correll twice with a pocket knife, one wound severing an artery in the neck from which Correll bled to death in a few minutes. Lamb returned to the home of his father, who is a wealthy farmer, and was ar­ rested in bed. GEN. CASSIUS M. CLAT. aciOmpanied toy Officers Terrell and Kennedy and Deputy Sheriff Collyer, went to White hall Ahls morning. The general met the officers at the door with a revolver and ordered them from the premises. When they endeavored to reason with him he opened "fire. Deputy Sheriff Collyer jumped be­ hind a tree and thus saved his life. After emptying his pistol the old fighter produced a Winchester and re­ opened the engagement The officers opened fire on him, and for several minutes the fusillade was general. The officers returned to the city without the goods. It is the belief of Mr. Collyer that General Clay was slightly wounded during the fight Brutus J. Clay, son of the general, will endeavor to secure the goods by peaceable means. If this fails a strong posse may 'be ordered out by Sheriff Collyer to capture White hall. General Clay is 91 years old, and this late outbreak has led his friends to believe that his mind is unbalanced. Crased by Spouse'• Deat*. Mrs. R. Gates Rice, a wealiSy resi­ dent of St Joseph, Mich., and a well- known society woman, became insane Friday from grief over the loss of her husband, who dropped dead in the streets there recently. She left home in the early morning and went three miles south of the city, where she lay down on the Pere Marquette railroad tracks and waited for a train to come and kill her. Mayor Nelson C. Rice, the unfortunate woman's 'brother-in- law, organized a searching party when her disappearance was noticed and the countryside was scoured. J. L. Cox had discovered the woman lying on the tracks and took her to his home, where the mayor and his party found her. Mrs. Rice recently created a sen­ sation at St. Joseph by payipg up the entire indebtedness of St Paul's Epis­ copal ehurch. Rich OH Strike In Iowa.

It is expected that the postmaster-general in the near fu­ ture will issue an order formally grant ing authority to postmasters for this purpose and modifying the require ments so as to allow the carriers to wear a suitable gray blouse, with a turn down collar and a black tie. Old Veteran End# HU Life. Captain Charles Palmatier, a mem­ ber of the G. A. R. and of the Loyal Legion, shot himself at Kenosha, Wis., dying almost instantly.
