company made an effort to start up this
and the other plants Tuesday, and to-
day the women determined to drive the
"Black Legs" from the works with tin
pans, clubs, coke forks and brooms.
They marched to the coke yards. San

uties were Oh guard. shot was fired
to scare the women. The men rushed
to the scene and White opened fire on
the crowd that numbered over hun
bred At the first fire three men fell
wounded, one shot through the thigh,
one through both legs and the third in
the neck. The women carried off the
wounded and the Infatuated men set
upon White and Roddy. White was
beaten over the head, knocked down
and kicked and bruised about the body.
His recovery is doubtful. A big Hun
garian had White down and was stand
ing over him with an AK, when he was
knocked down by James Tarr, the store
clerk. Roddy was at first thought to be
badly injured, but he escaped with only
slight bruises. While all this was going
on the deputies shot one woman, who is
said to be dying. 1t is now believed
that at least sixteen were shot. There
is great excitement throughout the en-
tire region. The strikers are becoming
desperate and mobs are assembling a
various points to raid the plants.
DR.. w. H. Cole, the company physi
clan, states that fifteen strikers wen
down in three charges. Three men ant
one woman were carried off the groun,
after the first charge and when tn
mob finally retreated they bore away a
least ten more. Three. were left nea
the works, two of whom will die. Whit

covery is doubtful. Roddy is believe,
to be fatally wounded 1t is feared tn
foreigners will avenge the death o
their countrymen. 1t will not be SUI

Philip Rogers. the engineer, and John
Hackett, the iremen, of the Montana

Knowles admitted them to ball and
fixed their bonds at $3.50 each. They
were then taken back to the camp at

them into court. Thursday was set as

His Northern Pacific Order Gross Abuse
of the Power of the Court.
WASHINGTON, May 4.-Representative
Boatner, chairman of the special COM
mittee of the house judiciary committee
appointed to invest gate the Northern
Pacific decisions of Judge jenkins, to-
day submitted to the full judiciary COM
mittee majority report of the special
committee. The report says that the
orders of the court reducing wages and
prohibiting the employees from quitting
work were gross abuse of the power
of the court, were supported by neither
reason nor authority, were beyond the
jurisdiction of the judge and were
therefore void. The second or supple
mentary writ was more reprehensible
than the first because the Judge was ad-
vlsed before he rendered it of the exact
object and purposes sought to be accom-
| plished.
The committee does not recommend
impeachment, as there was no testi
mony Indicating any corrupt intention
upon the part ot the Judge.

J. W. BEAR VISITS SPOKANE.
Deep Interest Taken All Over the Yves
In Christian Endeavor Work.

In Christian Endeavor Work.
SPOKANE, May 4.-John Willis Bear,
secretary of the United Society of
Christian Endeavor, and wife of Boston
arrived last night from Butte and are
registered at the Hotel Spokane.
Mr.. Baer is a seemingly young man
for the responsible position which he
fills In such a C editable manner. His
work borders on the phenomenal, as
through his efforts new societies nave
come in at the ate of 100 a week for
the last year. In an interview Mr..
Baer said
"The appearance of your city was
rather an agreeable surprise to me,
especially your magnificent hotel. In
fact" said Mr.. Baer, 1--WE eastern peo-
pie do not, or can not, comprehend the
growth of your western cities. The
stability of your improvements sur
passes to great degree those of our
many instances have largar COM
munity to support them than you have
here"
"How did you like Butte2" he was
asked.
"Well, 1t is the most peculiar city
that ever visited" said he, land the
only one ever saw in which you could
not see some evidences of vegetation,
something green. The gaunt, rugged
hills upon which the city rests have
their sides punctured with the shafts OF
deserted mines, present a rather desc.
late appearance. AS to the people, well
they are rather tough on the outside,
but met some very consecrated Christ
ians at the state convention in Butte
two delegates having driven sixty-fve
miles in wagon over a rough mountain
road, so as to be able to attend the con
vention, while in the east some hesitate
about crossing the street."
The object of Mr. Baer's western triI
at this time is to arrange with the
various railroads for transports ticn tt
the international convention at Sal
Francisco in 1895.
Mr.. and Mrs. Baer will leave here TO
: Vancouver, B. c., to attend a provin
cial convention in that city May
From that place they will visit Coz
wallis, Ore, where the Oregon stat
convention of Christian Endeavor vii
be in session and will then proceed t
San Francisco.

A MONTANA GOLD STRIKE.
Exceedingly Rich Placer Mines Said to
Have Been Discovered.

MILES CITY, May 5.-There is great
excitement here over the reported dis
covery of very rich placer diggings.
The discovery of the placers was made
by "squawman" known as "Cayuse
Alex" who has been working for the
Home Land & Cattle company for some
years as a COW puncher. About six
weeks ago Alex saddled up his horse
and, taking pack outfit, struck out in
the direction of Big Dry. He had told
several of the other hands that he knew
of rich placer ground and the talk fol-
lowing his departure resulted In his be-
ing followed by some of them.
Two weeks ago they found him at
work taking out dust on Box creek, a
stream six or seven miles long, which
empties into the Big Dry about twenty
miles above the mouth of the latter,

trials are disheartened. At breakfast
time the commissary officers reported
1000 loaves of bread on hand, but
scarcely enough meat and coffee to sup
ply the officers mess. Kelly drew on
the treasury for money to buy coffee
and meat. Gov. Jackson is endeavoring
to secure a cheap rate to the river, but
is not confident of success. To carry
the men to the Mississippi at full fare
will cost sc, 800, and the railroads will
accept nothing less. 1t is the general
impression that Kelly will be starved
out and that the army will dwindle
down to a corporals guard.
