Constantinople, Sept. 0 A consular
dispatch from Beyrut, received at oi.e
of the embassies here, states that a
fierce brawl occurred there Monday
betw en parties of Mii-siimans and
Christians.
It was (hie to a shot fired by a Mus
sulman upon a Christian employ d at
the American col fi.'e. Tne ChrMlai
was wounded. The tight brke out
while the vail was on boa;'l the I'n
itcd States cruiser Brooklyn, retnrnintf
Admiral Cotton's visit. No further de
tails have been received.
1 diploma iccirc'-s here the affair
Is regarded as being serious and a re
newal of the disturbances is ftarcd.
An ofllelal ve-Miou o? the lieyrut af
fair telegraphed tat r to the Ottoman
ambassadors abroad Jfor communica
tion to thu powt-rs says tliat Chiist
ianswere assailants, and that they
dad tired upon the Muj-sulmars. A
light hatoccrured during which Mui
su mans and Christians cam- to the
assistance of their respective com
pa' r o a.
This, says t he report, c?mpd'ed the
troops to Intervene and they succeed
ed In restoring order. Three so'diers
were wounded and trie was killed and
one was wound d. These figures
evidently are incorrect, as the rioters
must have lost more heavl'y than the
military:
The British consul a' Peyroot Im
mediately after the riot called upon
the vail and threatened to ask Rear
A 'm'ril C tton to land marines from
t ie American squadron In the event
or the renewal of the dUturbenoes.
In flUiial circles hem the disturb
ances are attributed to the arrival of

LITTLE GIRL KIDNAPPED
CHILD.S SCREAMS ALARN MAN
WHO 8TOLE HER, AND HE
TAKES TO HIS HEEL8.
Grand Island, Nebr., Sept. 7. What
Is considered as an attempt at kidnap
ping, or a worse fate for the little one,
or the action of some half-witted per
son, caus-d considerable excitement
In this city yesterday. On the pre
vious evening the little eight-year-old
dauglrerof Mr. and Mrs, McAllister
was forcibly dragged away from in
front of her . father's store, taken
through an alley, and only released
wnen her cries were presumed by the
criminal to attract attention, when
she ran back to the store unharmed
willi the exception that her little arm
p airily indicated the force the man
had used.
The little ti i rl had come down town
with her mother at nine o'clock in the
eve ilng to get her fath-r who main
tains a fruit stand, and take him home
in the carriage. Tne father was not
at once ready to go home and Mrs. Mc
Allister hitched and went into the
store. The daughter stood on the
outside of tl.e do)r, leaning against it,
when a man walked up and took her
by the hand , leading her away. She
was at first uot alarmed, thinking tiie
man was playing with' her. Hut
when he made for across the street
and the opening of a alley she became
frightened, and particularly so when
upon entering the alley he told her
she would never see ber father and
might just as well come along quietly.
The little girl tugged away with all
her little strength and the man took a
firmer hold on her upper arm, drag
ging her into the alley. She then
began to scream and her captor let go
of the arm and made for the rail
road tracks. The little girl running
back through the alley and to the
store. The father and others had by
this time missed her and had set out
to look for her. They returned to
the vicinity of the store Immediately
after the girl had returned and at
once gave the alarm. The railroad
men were given notice and as much
yf a description as the little girl was
able to give, but the offender has nt t
been apprehended. Charles Itusscl,
an employe of the Kouhler hotel, was
arrested but not identified by the
Utile girl, and the testimony of his
fellow employes indicates that he was
in bed at the time the crime occureri.
Ilussel was given a severe sweating
process, the police first believinis, they
had the rliihb man. The Koehler
hotel kitchen door is close to the alley
through which the man ran. After a
thorough inves.igatlon it is concluded
by the police that the man is Inno
cent and that it was the act of some
slranger.

Beirut. Syria, Sent. 10. Via Port
Said) Vice Consul Mage.ssen, wiien
he was Hud at recently, was near .a
police buoih. His assailant is not jet
known. The authorises are indiffer
ent, and thus far have given 1.0 sitis
faction. The Moslem section of the city fiom
Friday up to Tues ay niht was in a
state of anarchy and thirty persons
were ki led, among whom, however,
were no foreigners. The shops are
sosed, the stree's deserted and the
government Is seemingly unable or un
willing to assure safety to the resi
dents. The arrival of the American cruis
eis Brooklyn and san Francisco was
most opponuoH. Admiral Cotton Is
on the alert and siirnal men and a
guard slept at the United States con
sulate last night. The men on board
the warships are under arms feady to
disembark on a signal from 'he con
sulate The boats of the Brooklyn and
San Francisco have reconnoitered the
coast below the property of the Amer
ican mission in ord r to select larding
places incase of need. The American
miss on authorities have demanded
liuarJs from the governor fur the pro
tection of of the mission printing otllce
and the mission property. An attempt
to enter an American residence on
Saturday was f r us 1 rated.
The Americans here iliink the Uni
ted Stales government should insist
on the d smissal of the vali of Bairut,
a notorious bribe-taker, and to whom
all the disorders are attributed.
Berlin, Sept. 10. A delayed dis
patch from Constantinople to the
Lokal Anzeiger, which sometimes
prints olllcial news, says:
"Telegraphic consul ieports received
here Monday, says that the murder
of Christians in different parts of
Beirut continues. Disorder prevails
and traffic is destr-yed.
"The consuls also decided to call
on Rear Admiral Cotton for eventual
protection for the foreign consulates,
which he later agreed to furnisn. It
is considered that the Americans
coud land 50) men. Some Ameri
cans, IMs believed have already laud
ed. The American warships are
cleared for action. Other warships
are expected."
The German foreign otllce approves
of Admiral Cotton's intention to land
a guard to protect the United States
consulate at Beirut, if necessary, and
of his hold! g a landing party In
readiness to protect the foreigners
there.
Nevertheless the feeling in quarters
over the appearance of the American
ships off t.'elrut appears to be that It
corapllcites the Turkish skua ion
' because," it is aseried, "a new ele
ment has been brought In which acts
lncepenrlcntly of the power?., now
tliat the pressure of the powers Is
more or ls co-oidinatand the porte

SHOT HIS FATHcR-IN-LAW
COMMUNITY IS TERRORIZED
DESPERADO KILLS FATHER-IN-LAW
AND THREATENS
OTHERS-
Waterloo, 111., Sept 11. William A
Hoffman, a young farm hand, living
near Marystown, 111., called his father-in-law,
Dr, William Brandt, to
the door of bis house and shot
him to death. Then he rode back to
bis home, told bis wife tbat "be had
kliied the old hound, her father", gave
btr two dollars which he eaid he
wanted her to spend on the christen
ing of their baby, kissed her and their
four children and rode into tbe woods.
"There are two men I must kill be
fore I kill myself", he said to bis wife
before leaving.
The fami'y of Dr. Brant offers a re
ward of $100 for Hoffman's capture.
Sheriff Ruch and a large posse are
searching for biin. He is heavily
armed. Just before kiUing his father-in-law
he purchased fifty rounds of
cartridges.
Hoffman is an unerring marksman,
and tt.e officers be ieve, d iven to
recklessness by whisky and his imag
inary troubles. Helore he inu dered
Brant he told Herman Panes: "In one
hour there will be a warrant out for
me. Iiut look out; I will shoot you
or Ruch or anybody else who tries to
arrest me."
Hoffman's wife says that ps he left
he declared: I must kill two more
people, then myself. If the sheriff or
his deputies try to arrest me, I must
a'so kill them."
Sheriff Ituch thinks Hoffman is hid
ing in the woods near his home at
Rock Cliils. He and his deputies are
heavily armed and prepared to shoot
the fugitive at sight. This entire sec
tion of Monroe county is terrorized, as
the fugitive is regarded as disperate.
It is not known who are tiie other
two persons he Intended lo kill and b ith
men and women are so badly fright
ened that they will not leave their
homes without arms.
It is supposed that Hoffman's mo
tive for killing his father-in-law was
that the o,d gentleman relused to in
crease his weekly allowance. Dr,
Brant was quite wealthy and had been
practically supporting his son-in-law
au! family. He gave Hoffman a cer
tain amount of spending money each
week.
