PALLS CITY , Xcb. . April 10. ( Special. ) The county seat of Richardson county , lo cated near the falls of tbo Xcmahu river , train which It dorhcs Its name , Is not only one of the oldest , but atao ono of the wealthiest towns In the state. The coun try surrounding has uutor toll thu pinch of poverty caused by drouths and crop failures. The farms arc to productive and the land owners have grown BO wealthy that the price of land In the county ranges from $10 to $100 per aero and few am anxious to sell even at these high figures. It In n land of substantial homeo occupied liy people who believe that theirs U the best farming country In the world. Located In Buch a country , naturally enough , Polls City is prosperous. Trade has always been good and grows better c-very year. The hankorw say that nearly every business man In town discounts hlw bills and business failures are unVnown. Money is so plenty that long or short loans nro made nt 8 per cent by the banks. The deposits lu the three banking Institutions , which amounted to $100,000 In the spring of 1896 , now amount to $343,000 , while the total deposits of all the banks In the county rcich almost $700.000 , being nn average of $30 per capita for the entire county on deposit In the banks , or about | G more .than the per capita circulating medium of the country. Palls City was credited -\\lth 2,102 popu lation by the census of 1890 , but a con- ccrvntlvo estimate now places the popula tion nl 3.500. During the past fifteen months 100 new residences have been built at a cost estimated ut $75,000 , whllo the general Improvements have kept pace with the now buildings. A large number of now residences aio to bo put up during the present season and work has already com menced on many of them. In the Prnlt Holt. .Richardson county is In the fruit belt of Nebraska and probably produces bettor peaches , apples and small fruit than any other county In the state. But the hard winter has done bad work with the fruit and there will be a great scarcity of poches , many of the trees oven being winter killed. H is bullevod that all other kinds of fruit have boon damaged , the same ns In other localities of tbo state , although old settlers say it is still too b that the early to predict for a certainty fruit crop will bo n failure. AB in other counties , the prebent spring in Richardson backward has been very tlmo the farmers county and up to the present ers have been able to do very llttlo toward . The season Is the planting of the crops. getting late for onts and about one-half of the winter wheat has been winter killed , so that the acreage of corn Is sure to be larger will bo somewhat than usual and the planting what delayed. Richardson county Is In a political way Improving. Fifteen years ago the repub licans nnd democrats of the county possessed about equal strength. Later came the Inde pendent and populist movements , making * third party with about 1.200 votes. Then democrats and fern this paity fused with the n time the allied forces seemed to bo In con trol Hut the wealthy farmers , nnd espe cially the Germans , tlrod of the cheap money arguments and calamity cries , so that again swung into the last fall the county icpubllcan column , giving a majority for the state ticket nnd electing two out of the throe republican candidates , for the legis 4 4j j lature. , This U the homo of many of the states men who are or have been holding places In the capltol building at Lincoln. Cornell ana Llchty and Whlttakor nnd Pool nnd Mower arc all old settlers here , and of course the recent upheaval In the auditor's office cre ated moro than ordinary interest in Rich ardson county. The former "allied forcoR" nro now- divided Into hostile camps which hupport Cornell or Llchty or which repudiate both of them. No I.otc for Cornell. The democrats of the county never had nny love for Cornell , who was formerly n rampant republican , but they hated Llchty r1 Btlll more because of his prohibition pro- cllvltles , nnd the latter has his support only among the populists. The nntl-Llchty fac- tlon Is nlfo bitter against Representative A. J. Weaver , who wns elected on the fusion ticket as a silver republican last fall. They say that by the part he took In the legislative work of thn winter , nnd especially by serv ing on the Investigating committee w < hicH f pave Cornell BO much grief , ho lias branded lilnihelf as a republican and must go bacH where ho belongs. This of course Is not dls- tasteful to the republicans , who believe thai great honors are In Btoro for Weaver If he clings to the party which his father helped to build up , and they hope that ho will have become disgusted with the so-called reform party before the next , campaign nnd bo ready to Btnnd with the republican party where ho belongs. The factional fights which are now on In Itlchardflon county have destroyed all hope of fusion biiccess and It Is probable thai there will bo ono or moro mlddlo-of-tho-roafl tlckctb In the field in the fall campaign. Ir the meantime the republicans nro united and happy nnd expect to make a clean sweej of the county offices and roll up a good ma jority for the state ticket The Incidents ol the legislature and the attempted interference - once with the city eleclons by Cornell's dep uties hove already started the fall campalgr in Richardson county. , I.lnrolll Ioi-iil .Notc-n.

The double resulting In today's riot began last night while 100 deputy sheriffs were called out Into Klatham and Penwell mining district to protect several famljles of negroes who were endeavoring to load household effects picparatory to leaving for Iowa ami I were being prevented by ncirro guards armed with rides furnished by the Pana Coal com. patiy , who claimed liio goods the ncgiooa were moving were company property. The deputies guarded the negroes while they loaded their goods In wagons , conveyed them to railroad cars and packed them for ship ment. The negroes , their wives and children i were then marched to Union Miners' hall , I v here they were fed and cared for by white union mlneis and given protection by n guard of fifty deputy sheriffs , It being feared that negioea who did not wish them to leave Pana would Interfere and attempt forcibly to prevent their departure. During the night , while deputies were guarding the negroes In the Penwell district , they were fired upon by unknown persons supposed to have been negroes and private guards at the Penwell mine nnd fully 200 shots were exchanged. The firing greatly- terrorized the residents of that section of the city , who appealed to Chief Deputy Checncy for protection. Deputy Chceney thereupon sent a special detail of deputies armed with Springfield rides , who patroled all the streets and succeeded In restoring quiet before daybreak. Several negroes were arrested , charged with Inciting riot , and today's rioting began while they were on trial. Tanner n\ilnliiN Slierlfl'N ActloiiN. SPRIXGFIELD , III , April 10 Governor Tanner this evening had the following to say with reference to the affair : At Sheriff Downey's request about three weeks ago I removed nil the troops j Horn Pana , after he had made a statement In writing that troops were no longer i needed , that ho would preserve peace and I protect life and property with the civil au- I thorltlcs if I would send him 200 stands of arms and 2.000 rounds of ammunition , which [ request I compiled with and removed the troops. About 10 30 this morning Mr. Penwell , mayor of Pana , telephoned me that there was a riot on , that four people had been killed and the battle was still going on , with continual firing. He usked for troops 1 replied that I would advise with the shei- Iff and I called Sheriff Downey by tele phone nnd got him about 11 o'clock and asked him the situation. Ho replied that he had the trouble under control and would be able to quell the riot and maintain order and that It would not be necessary to sena troops. 1 received telegrams and telephone messages from time to time from citizens stating that firing was going on and people were being shot , wounded nnd killed. About 2 o'clock I learned the sheriff had taksn a prisoner and with the pretense of saving htm from mob violence hail taken him to Tnylorvllle About the same time I re ceived further advice that the riot wns 1011- tlnuinK nnd that seven people hod been killed nnd n great many wounded and that i the people were shooting Into the houses rifles killing innocent - with their long-range , ] cent citizens. In n few minutes I learned that two moro colored men had been killed nnd unless trcops were sent there would bo a general battle there tonight. I was also advised by Mr. Schuyler , one of Pana's best citizens , that If the mob learned of the troops coming there would be fifty people killed before they reached there. I Immediately directed Adjutant General Rooco to order three companies , those from this city , Decutur and Taylorville , to pro ceed to the scene of trouble at the earliest possible moment , providing special trains for their transportation. I renewed my I original proclamation of last November , de claring Pana under martial law , and directed the adjutant general to proceed with nil naate with trotps and to quell the riot , re- btrro order , protect life and property and disarm all persons found with guns. At 4 o'clock 1 received a telegram from Sheriff Downey , who wns at Lltchfleld on his way home with his prisoner , stating that order ' had been restored at Pann nnd that all was quiet , ami that there was no necessity of sending troops , and not to make the mls- take of doing so. However , with the evl- dence before mo from citizens of Pana nnd i the fact that ho had lied from the scene ' anil wns at that time Hlxty-fivc miles away , ' I paid no attention to his request. At 8 30 this evening I received the following telephone - phone message from Sheriff Downey , nt Taylorville , where I supposed ho had landed with his prisoner "Why were troops ordered to Pana this afternoon , when everything was quiet' Why are the troops disarming tbo deputies' Everything could have been easily con- trrllcd If the negroes had kept out of the towers. " I replied "Tho troops were eent to Pana by my order because you had left the scene of battle and taken a prisoner to Taylor ville This Is the first Instance In my ex perience where a general or commander left the field of battle to tnko u prisoner to the rear Ho generally sent such prisoners back In charge of a corporal and two guards , The troops have orders to disarm everybody and the nil Itary authorities nt I'aiia must bo obeyed until further orders from me. " To this Sheriff Downey replied "I left Pnna with my prisoner to prevent him being lynched My chief deputy was in charge and uvorything was quiet. " Adjutant General Reese and Colonel J S Culver left here for Pana this afternoon with Company C and will bo joined at Taylorvillo by Company H. both of the First Infantry , and upon their arrival there they will bo joined by Company II of Decatur , all of these troors having been ordered to Pana for riot duty by Governor Tanner upon re quest of the citizens of that city- It may be that moio companies will be sent there before morning , as authentic nd- vlcra prove that the rioting minors have and a considerable army may be there in a feu hours.
