out fighting back the flames. The night
was favorable and the danger was
averted, with some assistance from
Phillips.
Near Medford the enraged farmers
surrounded the house of man, who
had started forest fire. for the pur-
pose of lynching him, but he had left.

Estimate of Sums That VIII Have to
Be Paid to Settle Losses from
Debs' Strike.

CHICAGO, July 3d. Notices were
served today by Samuel B. B. Foster,
attorney in fact for several railroads,
of damages claimed against the city of
Chicago aud the county of Cook for
loss of property during the American
Railway union strike. The notices
were served on the mayor, city
clerk, the corporation council the
city attorney and on the pres
ident Of the county board, the county
clerk and the county attorney. Tne
aggregate damages claimed are $685.
$780, This represents only about one
tenth Of the actual damage claimed,
many roads having several davs left in
which to file their claims. The roads
which filed claims today with the
amount of damages are as follows:
Lake Erie aud Western, SIC, 900; De,
troit. Grand Haven and Milwaukee,
$780, Chicago and Northwestern, $40;
Chicago Refrigerating line, $1,000;
New York Central and Hudson River
Railway company, $345; Monon, $3.50;
Flint and Pierre Marquette. $75; Chi
cago and Erie, 500; Swift Refrigera-
Tor line, $500; Armour Refrigerator
line, 800; Central Car Trust COM
pany of New York. 5000; Chi.
cago and Grand Trunk, $12, $50; Grand
Trunk railroad $7.7S5, ANA Grand Trunk
company of Canada. s., ,235 Besides
these claims shippers filed through
Mr.. Foster claims amounting to at
least $500, 900. This was done by the
shippers on the express declaration of
the railroads that they will pay no
claims whatever made against them
by shippers for damages to freight
handled during the strike.
The general managers association
takes the ground that the city and
county in not furnishing adequate pro
lection to the railroads are directly re-
sponsible for all damages to freight.
The damages by the railroads in the
above list are mostly for cars burned
after July 1. 1t is believed that many
more ,suits for damages will he filed
by shippers who lost heavily on perish
able freight during the strike.

Major General SGhofiald's recent inter.
view advocating investing the presi-

foreseen, he should enlist men out of
work, thus reducing the number of
unemployed and putting idle workmen
to defending their own shops against
rioters. tho temporary soldiers to go
back to work in their shops when the
crisis is past.
President Debs said: 81 am heartily
in favor of that plan, as it strikes me

Profits Sure.

Speaking on the subject of sheep.
raising, Senator Worst is quoted as
follows in the Bismarck Tribune:
"Given reasonable protection, our
flocks would swell into millions, and
almost the entire volume of wealth
annually produced from them would
come in. with scarcely any of it to
60 out. It would come to stay. The
machinery and money outlay connect
ed with the care of sheep, is trivial in
comparison with the volume. of money
produced. With farming, the wear
and breakage of machinery is an i'm.
portant item.
"The average farmer cannot engage
to any extent in stock business, espe.
cially over one-third of the state,
where crops to some extent are raised.
But sheep can be raised anywhere
even in close proximity to farmed
fields. 1t is great and growing in.
dustry. 1t is paramount as mort.
gage litter and family provider. The
profits are sure and returns are Ger.
tain, and the only cloud that over
hangs this great industry, and over.
hanging it, overhangs the future
prosperity of the state is-democracy.

Mr.. Hicks is frank enough to
admit that his predictions for the
first half of March were not full
filled by the appearance of such
bad weather as he had repre-
sented. His March forecasts in
dicated severe storms about every
third day through the month; but
up to the Goth good weather pre-
vailed and then came the vernal
equinox-an unusually hard storm
and we rarely ever fail to get
an equinoctial storm of some
kind-since which the weather has
been all right. But the St. Louis
prognosticator goes right on in
his April forecasts to warn the
people of coming rain, thunder,
tightening, hail, etc. A lunar
eclipse and a new moon occur on

will be a storm disturbance, and
another on the 10Th.
