Badly Injured,

Cleveland. Ohio, July 2.-For nearly
a month the strike Mt the works of
the Brown Hoisting and Conveying
company has continued with frequent
though individual attacks by strikers
upon workmen who had taken their
places. The police have been patient
under the abuse Of the idle men, and
to-day for the first time violence was
shown the officers and they dealt the
strikers q blow with a heavy hand.
One hundred and seventy employees
of the Brown con pany were marched
from the works under escort of eighty
policemen to the car tracks on st.
Clair street. A crowd of 1000 men,
women and boys gathered and began
hooting and kissing. Two motor cars
came along and We're signalled to stop,
but the strikers yelled Go ahead,
don't stop" and the motormen in
creased their speed and whizzed by.
The police then marched the men in
their charge a block further away, to
a corner, and halted for another car,
the roaring crowd following. Some
one in the crowd threw big stone
which struck Patrolman Keidel and
cut his head open. Deputy Chief Of
Police Mcmahon then gave n pre-
arranged signal and the crowd was
given IL terrible lesson. Forty police
men swung out into line and the 9TH
er forty closed in around the men they
were protecting. The first forty under
command Of Capt. English and Lieut..
Dunn. charged the crowd with riot
clubs and they hit to break heads. Two
rlshes up tile street sent the crowd in
that direction flying and left dozen
men lying on the pavement with bleed
ing heads. Then the police charged
twice in the opposite direction and
then down n side street. using their
clubs vigorously. They scattered the
crowd effectually and arrested four of
the ring leaders after splitting the
scalp oe one CT them. In tine meantime
the police guarding the workmen
stor;,ed car almost by force and
sent their charges away. No one was
dangerously hurt by the clubbing, SO
far as could be ascertained, but there
are scores of broken heads. Serious
trouble is feared tomorrow afternoon,
and heavy guard of police will be on
the ground

: CHOW Shtrt0 versus SunStrOkC,
A hint comes from India which Is
worth filing away for use when the
hot summer days are upon us. Lassi-
tudc and loss Of appetite are among
the first evidences of the effect of the
SUMS heat upon the body, and in hot
weather many persons who have never
had sunstroke are debilitated by what
might fairly be called sun fatigue,
which, although not serious, renders
work Of every kind much more labor
tous than 1t would otherwise be. The
influence of the sun varies enormously
on different individuals, some of whom
have to take special precautions in Or
der to be able to resist it. A spinal
pad Is used by soldiers in many tropi-
cal countries. 1t arrests the light,
which often works such injury, but is
uncOmf0rtably hot, and sOon becomes
Objectionable from its absorption of
perspiratiOn. According to q royal en-
gineer, who is stationed in India, the
boon and blessing beyond compare to
those who have to spend part of their
lives under tropical sunlight is an
Orange-c0lored shirt. He declared tnat
he frequently fell sick after duty in
the sun until he treated himself as q
Photographic sensitive plate and sur
rounded his body with yellow light.
All dOthfng, however thick, allows cer-
tain rays to pass, and although thick
clothing would arrest all the injurious
elements Of sunlight, 1t would inter-
fere With the escape Of bodily heat.
The yellow shirt for sensitive people
who are much in hot sunlight, is an
excellent protection, only inferior to
that simplest and best of a. Indian
protectives, white umbrella, which
has not yet been acclimated in this
country.

Rescuers Are Driven Ont of the

Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 2.-Therc are
fifty-nine men, living or dead, impris-

This is the official number, and there
is no reason to think it is incorrect.
The wives of five Hungarians declare
that these men too, are ip the mine,
but this is disputed by the timekeeper,
who says that the Huns drew their
pay last week and went to Pittsburg

was in that portion of the mine where
the victims are thought to be. 1t made

Telephone construction in the Rocky
mountains is anything but child's play,
and Is attended with a great deal Of
hardship. The line built from Lead
Vile to Aspen several years ago is n
case in point. 1t took two months to
cover the entire length, forty-eight
miles. In ordinary construction the
poles would be set forty-two to the
mile, but at certain points. where sharp
turns were necessary, the number
would sometimes be increased to sew
enty-dve to the mile. The members of
the construction gang had to be as ex-
pert as axmen as they were as line
men, for when timber was encounter
ed path Of 200 feet OH each side of
the line had to be cleared in order that
wires might not be broken when trees

pose. When the continental divide was
reached the poles had to be abandoned
and the wires were placed in a sub
maj cable, which was buried in n
2-foot trench for a distance of 1900
feet. The advisability of abandoning
aerial construction at this point was
demonstrated by the experience of the
company that maintains the Denver
and Lcadville line. At one point on
that line, Mosquito pass, the poles
were originally set 20 feet apart. AS
soon as the wires were covered with
sleet they promptly snapped, and the
line was useless. Double the number
OF poles were then used with the same
result. The space between the poles
was then reduced to 25 feet, but as.
soon as the sleet came the line was
swept down fiat. Eventually an un-
derground cable was laid for two and
a half miles, and there has been no
trouble since.-Denver Field and Farm.
