who left his home Monday morning and
went to work, and who has not since re-
turned. The boy was employed in Lans-

return home again, and it is thought he
has left the city. The police have a de-
scription of the boy and will notify the

nearly n month the strike at the
works Of the Brown Hosting and

with frequent, though individual, at
tacks by strikers upon workmen who
had taken their places Yesterday
fifty employees were marched from the
works under the escort OF eighty po-
liccmen TO the car tracks on st. Clair
street. A crowd of =, 800 men, women
and boys gathered and began hooting
and kissing. Some one in the crowd
threw "a big stone, which struck Pa
trolman kcidcl and cut his head
open. Deputy Chief OF Police Nc.
Mahon then gave u pre-arranged sig
nal. Forty policemen swung out into
line and the other forty closed in
around the men they were protecting
The first forty charged the crowd
with riot clubs, and they hit to break
heads. Two rushes up the street sent
the crowd in that direction flying and
left dozen men lying on the pave
ment with bleeding heads Then the
police charged twice in the opposite
direction, and then down a side street,
using their clubs vigoroufly They
scattered the crowd eifectuallv and
arrested four OF the ringleaderr, after
splitting the scalp of one OF them. No

outpouring of people from all parts Of
the State. The demonstration was
nom partisan, and it is doubtful II the
scenes of enthusiasm have been par

arrival of the special train In Denver.
The streets were jammcd with people,
immense flags and penants, pictures
Of the Senator and banners OF well
come were everywhere displayed.
Half the individuals in the crowd
waved small white flags on which
were printed portraits OF the Senator.
As the Senator stepped from the
train there went up a mighty shout.
The roar of human voices drowned
out the noise of the bombs. Six hun
dred people from Gilpin county, Sena-
tor Teller's home, who had camped at
the station the greater part OF the
afternoon, rushed pell-mell after him,
waving flags and shouting vocifer'
ously.

An Iowa physician hes demonstrated
to his own satisfaction that man who
has been struck by lightning can be
revived by a second application of the
same agency. His patient was a man
who had been unconscious for twenty
minutes from n stroke in a recent
storm and who revived at once when
he received a charge from a galvanic
battery. The difficulty in many cases
will be that the victim OF lightning
will think he has been killed and
therefore be unequal 10 the effort re-
quired TO reach point where he can get
struck again or even receive the recu-
pcrating current from n battery. |,

tient OF tho Iowa physician was not
