FATAL ACCIDENT.
A Happy Hunting Party Suddenly
Changed to Grief and
Mourning.

Two weeks ago last Saturday hap.
py party passed through this place for
their annaul hunting expedition in the
big woods on Salmon Greek, this coun-
ty. The party consisted Of our for.
mer townsman, Clinton d. Baker and
brother Will F. Baker, of Spring
Greek, Warren county, James Baker,
o D. Freeman and Josh Stevens Of
Fiudlay's Lake, N, Y, and Wilkes
Harvey of Elyria, Ohio. Clint. was
obliged on account Of business to
leave camp after remaining two days,

across the shanty in which the hunters
were sleeping, completely crushing in
Que side of it, and Instantly killing o.
u. Freeman. During the terrible ex-
oitement of the moment the men ex.
tricated themselves as best they could,
aud it they were frightened for the
moment, they we're appalled, TO find
that one of their companions had been
crushed 10 death. All we're more or

ly. The unfortunate victim was in.
stantly released, and as quickly as
possible his remains we're conveyed TO
Kel!ettvilIe, distance of nearly six
miles, and from there the sad and al.
most heartbroken party took their de-
parture for home on Saturday.
The party had slain seven deer, was
having a royal time and had arranged
to break camp on Saturday, when this
most distressing accident overlook
them, changing joy and mirrh into
sadness and bereavement, as we'll as
blighting a once happy home forever.
Mr.. Freeman was aged about 32 years,
and leaves a wife and three children,
besides host OF friends to mourn his
swift and unnatural taking of. He
was a brother in.law of Mr.. G. D.
Baker, and owned fourishing drug
store at Findlay's Lake, where be was
universally esteemed. 1t was found
that besides other severe bruises his
skull was crushed.
The shsnty is located near what is
known to the hunters as "Mudlick,"
and has been occupied by many of our
townsmen during past hunting seasons.
The side Of the shanty which was com.
pletely crushed in was the one which
had formerly been used for the
"bunks," but on this occasion the
sleeping and cooking departments had
fortunately been reversed, otherwise
the entire party might have been
killed
1t is said that during the severest of
the storm, one of the party got up
and went out, aud il was aferward
discovered that in the exact spot
where he had lain a huge limb had
come through and buried itself deep
into the ground. This story, however,
lacks confirmation.

Law AND ORDER LEAGUE.
An Anti-StrilSe Organization Which Is Said

An Anti-Strike Organization Which Is Said
To Be Spreading Rapidly.
ST. LOUIS, July I-Several very important
meetings of the leaders of the Law and Order
League have been held recently. both here and
at Secalia, Mo. A prominent officer of the league
says that these meetings have been much more
general in character than those previously held,
the intention being to establish an organization
from one end of the country to the other in sup
port of law and order, which can be largely
massed, if necessary, at one point. For in
stance. in case of trouble in ST. Louis, with
which the league here could not cope, the prep
arations now being made are for the purpose of
enabling the local officials to call on Chicago.
any other place for reinforcements, the members
being bound to answer such a call at a moments
notice. The organization in this respect is par
taking more of the character of national minute
men, though the members say they hope they
will never be called on TO perform that kind
of duty. AS means of getting the
forces out on few moments notice, the ad
dresses of all members, business and residence,
are taken. The league, which had its origin in
Sedalia, has been rapidly fathered by some of
the leading secret society men in the country,
Legion of Honor members and Masons being
prominent and the working aud management of
those societies have been consolidated and the
best points called out in order to secure q large
and effective membership as soon as possible,
and at the same time keep it secret. They have
been very successful in the latter regard, and it
is only with the greatest labor that anything re-
liable as to its workings can be ascertained Be-
ginning in Sedaila, and spreading to Desoto

LAKE SHORE sw1rCHMEN.
No Interruption of Business Yesterday-Mr
Monaghan Explains.

No Interruption of Business Yesterday-Mr
Monaghan Explains.
CHICAGO, July l.-Business in the Lake Shore
yards at Fortythird street seemed nearer it's
normal condition this morning than it has been
since the strike was inaugurated There was
absolutely no excitement in the vicinity of the
round-house. Engines pulled ont of the round
house and went to their work in the various
yards each with it's detail of special police. At
about $50 o'clock an engine was brought out,
the men were called into active service once
more, and they were loaded on until no more
could find foothold on the locomotive, which
was then started for the stockyards. Sew
eral cars were loaded for consignment
over the Lake Shore yesterday afternoon,
and it was to take these out that the engine was
sent to the yards The strikers still keep clear
of the vicinity, under the triple influence brought
to bear on them by the fear of arrest, the infu-
ence of their leaders, ard the presence of the
deputy -sheriffs, who are armed with Injunction
writs. The injunctions. next to the rifles, are
the weapons most dreaded by the strikers and
they are careful to afford the deputies no oppor-
tunity Of serving them. At about 930 the stock
yards engine returned from the yards with the
cars and large number of the Pinkerton men,
no trouble having been encountered Captain
Foley, in charge of the Pinkerton men, said
this morning, that his orders to them were to fire
into the packing house windows if these were
the source of the showers of stones, as on yes
terday.
In letter published here this evening, James
L. Monaghan, grand master of the Switchmen's
Mutual Aid Association of the United States
writes that the differences existing between the
Lake Shore company and its switchmen have
never been properly explained 1t is not tight
of union men against nom union men, nor is it a
fight to force the company to employ any class of
men, nor against their employing any person
they choose. There is no union in Chicago and
almost half of the switchmen that struck are
not members of anything in the shape of labor
organization. The cause of the trouble, Mr..
Monaghan states, dates back to 1884, when
general strike Of all those switchmen in Chicago
occurred, owing to the refusal of the railway
companies to grant their demands for uniform,
and in some cases, advanced wages Among
the most enthusiastic, as we'll as radical advo-
Gates of this mode Of procedure. were the eight
men about whom the present strike hinges.
These men deserted those whom they had
pledged their honor to stand by at critical
time, and when victory seemed assured, and by
so doing, turned victory into defeat These
'as it afterward developed, for no other reason
than to sell ont their brothers and make them
selves solid with the company" In consequence
of this treachery, Mr.. Monahagan declares that
the eight have incurred the enmiry Of all
the switchmen of Chicago, and every one

these men, nor do they now. But do not force

acts of violence and further states that it is the

that it is, for some reason unknown to them Mr.

switchmen of Chicago into this fight causing a

The Managers of "LabOr Movements


New York Graphic
One of the most remarkable anomalies Of a So
called labor movement is that it is so often start
ed and managed by persons who never work
themselves, and, in fact, appear to have sort of
constitutional aversion to honest labor. Under
certain circumstances such persons would be
called tramps, the only thing which keeps them
out of that category in the popular acceptation
of the term being the fact that they perhaps
wash themselves little oftener ar d their cloth
ing is of less composite and of more homoge-
neous character. In their general moral charac-
ter, however, they differ very little from the un-
washed and tattered vagabonds who beg break
fast at the basement door, and who find nights
lodging in an empty dry goods box. or police
station equally comfortable and desirable To
all intents and purposes they hold the same
fundamental doctrine with respect to their rela
ton to society, which is that it owes them liv-
ing whether they work for it or not. AS they do
not choose to work. they are deriving a comfort
able, not to say luxurious, living by fastening
themselves upon horde of dupes.
