in the terrific rain storm which passed
almost across the continent and hun
dreds of thousands of dollars worth of
damage was done to farms; in many
places crops of oats and corn being en-
tirely destroyed. At Brownston,

Element effected by the state board of
arbitration does not include recogni-
ton of authority of labor union COM
mittces nor the discharge of all non
union men, and on these points they
will continue the battle. Serious
trouble resulted at once as soon as the
announcement was made and the
strikers attempted to intimidate the
non-union men as they were going
home from work, under police prOtec-
ton. First the rioters began to shout
Mt the non-unionists and then to hurl
bricks. Then the scabs drew revolvers
and began firing at the crowd. Several
shots were fred, but only one took
effect. John Prinz, foundryman.
fell to the pavement, shot through the
body, and was taken to a hospital.
The outbreak resulted in the calling
out of two companies of militia, and 80
policemen, in addition to the military,
were massed in the vicinity of the
Brown works. 1t is thought that
long and bitter struggle will ensue.

a startling piece of news in connec-
ton with the Brown strike, which
comes from an apparently reliable
source, is to the eff ,ct that the strikers
are arm-ng themselves and drilling.
II is said that 40 of the strikers have
organized company, elected a cap
tain and purchased revolvers, and it
was announced that the purpose of the
men is to avenge the death of the two
men who were shot at different times
in conflicts between union and nom

Towns Destroyed by Forest Fires.

Gladys. "a station on the South Shore
line, eight miles from Sault Ste. Marie,
was wiped out of existence by forest
fires One of the heaviest sufferers is
Judge A. G. Colwell, of the $780," who
had sawmill plant there, which was
destroyed. with the lumber and logs in
the yard. Three South Shore cars
We're burned on the siding, and several
houses were swept away, the inmates
being compe lied to fee for their lives.
Other towns near the $500" are also
in imminent danger of destruction.
The citizens of Dafter had to turn out
en- masse to fight the flames. 1t was
reported that Brimley was in the path
of the wind-driven flames. The farm
houses and crops of several OF the
farmers in the outlying districts near
there were burned. Many of the in
habitants had narrow escapes. No
loss of lives has been reported. A
number of lumber camps that have
already started up, were burned, to-
gether with a large quantity of pine.
Thousands Of cords of pulp wood owned
by the Niagara Falls Paper Co. have
been consumed by the flames.
The high southwest winds caused
considerable trouble with forest fires
about the new town of Munising,
which was entirely surrounded by
flames and at times it seemed as though
the town would burn up. Had it not
been for the recently established water
system, there would have been no
hope. The forests few miles south
of Wetmore are all on fire and it is
rapidly spreading. No rain Las fallen
for weeks in the burning district.
Everything in the forests is as dry as
finder, and unless there is rain soon "a
vast amount of valuable timber will be
destroyed.

Democratic State Convention August 30.
The state central committee of the
Democratic party of Michigan met ut
Detroit and transacted important bust
ness. The first matter was fixing the
time and place for holding the state
convention. Tuesday, August 81, was
named as the date. Detroit, Grand
Rapids and Bay City were after the
convention but it was captured by the
latter city. The warm fight came up
over the craftsmanship contest. Elliott
q. Stevenson, of Detroit, had an
nounced that he would resign as chair
man OF the committee because of the
action of the Chicago convention.
This was just what the silver men
wanted, but when it was presented
they found themselves in the minority
and the gold men of the committee
tabled the resignation after q long
time spent in speech making. Thus
Chairman Stevenson retains the posi-
tion. The selection of a secretary was
left 60 Mr.. Steve nson, who named q.
Walter Meade, of Detroit. 1t was an
nounccd that state central committee
campaign headquarters would he
opened in Detroit soon.

tons called and conducted according
to the rules and customs followed in
such counties In selecting delegates to
state convictions.
All electors In the state who intend
voting with the republican party are
cordially invited without regard to past
political relations to unite under this
call in the selection OF delegates to the
state convention.
Delegates are urged to personally at
tend the convention; but those who are
unable to attend may appoint a proxy.
The committee, witout assuming any
control in this matter suggests that the
precedent be followed, that proxies be
given only to residents Of the county
represented and that the accumulation
Of proxies In the hand Of any one per-
son be avoided Is far as possible.
