ELEVEN OUT OF THIRTEEN
Strikes Won by the Electrical Work
ers of America

Washington, Sept. Pr. W. Sher-
man of Rochester, N. Y, secretary of
the Electrical Workers of America, was
the first witness before the Industrial
commission today.
Most of the members were Inemen.
He said the dues of his organization
were so cents a month. There had been
IS strikes in the order in IS months, of
which the organization had won IL
had compromised one and one was still
on The organization did not include
more than per cent of the electrical
workers. AS a rule the workers had
steady employment. There was much
extra work for which extra pay was
obtained The average pay was about
50 per day. His organization believed in
compulsory arbitration In the strike
at Cleveland, the union had offered to
appeal the issue to the state board of
arbitration but the telephone company
refused. Compulsory arbitration in his
opinion should carry with it power of
enforcing acceptance of the decree by
both parties.

CONQUERs LEOPARD.
Mile. Maureps Desperate Fight In an
Iron Cage.

Philadelphia, Sept. blocked in an
iron cage, out of the reach of help, Mile.
Maurel fought for her life today at
noon with an enraged leopard at the
Exposition grounds. The little French
woman conquered at a fearful cost.
She now lies in the University hospital
with severe wounds in her left arm and
breast.
Fully fifty people, poWerless to aid the
woman, witnessed the duel, and a
great shout went up when she achieved
her victory. Mile. Maurel had locked
herself in the big exhibition cage with
three leOpards and a jaguar in order to
have a rehearsal young leopard
named Rapier was ugly and would not
obey. He persisted in leaping about
and swapping. Mile. Maurel, after
whipping him for fifteen minutes, got
him in a corner and struck him in the
buried his teeth in the left arm and
his paw tore her dress from the neck
down to her waist, the claws leaving
bloody trail. Both fell to the floor, and
the trainers revolver dropped under the
animal.
The girl showed amazing pluck. She
pounded the beast with the butt of her
whip until an attendant threw her
pitchfOrk. AS she secured this weapon,
the leopard made a trem endOuS jump
and was received upon the prongs of
the fork. AS the animal fell back
wounded, the trainer followed. Three
times around the cage she chased him,
prodding and beating him over the
head although the blood from her
wounds was fast dyeing her dress a
dark red. Whiting five minutes the
leopard gave up the fight and lay mo-
tiOnless with his tongue hanging out.
After unlocking the cage the woman
fell fainting into the arms of an Off
Ger. A score of hands lifted her into
an ambulance and she was hurried to
the hospital.

London Sept. ga correspondent Of
the Daily Mail, who joined the Drey-
fus party at Bordeaux and accompan-
led TO Carpentras. describes Dreyfus as
unthoughtful, prematurely aged, with
soft eyes, a smile like a wOman's and
rather the appearance of a savant than
a soldier.
When told Of the great wave of Brit
ish sympathy in his behalf, he wrung
the correspondents hand and showed
the deepest emotion. His health, the
correspondent says, is far from salts

The sad note amid the rejoicing was the
death of NJ Schurer- kestner.

Dreyfus, Ito think that I shall never
be able to thank that noble heart
One of his first acts on obtaining his
freedom was to have a wreath sent to
be placed on the coffin of his champion

TO proving his innocence When that

correspondent, was that of a man re-
turning from the dead to the world he

Caught and Gagged.

| Recently the HERALD noted the fac,
mat man, supposedly insane, had
been terrorizing the residents of Getty,
Ashley and Lake George. On Tues
oay ne was found and brought into the
city by the constable of Getty and
turned over to Deputy Sheriff Dimond,
/ ana the constable and Fred Dimond &C.
companied, the deputy and the man to
81. Cloud, where he was committed to
FERGUS Falls. He gave his name as
George Franklin, Dunkle, but cut it
snort and called himself Frank Dun.
upon his examination the following
story was elected from him as report
ed in the Journal Press, which Sheriff
Dlmond believes to be substantially
correct, adding that the man is per-
fectly harmless. and of kindly des-
position:
He has been prowling around in the
upper part of the county for several
weeks and since the cold weather, has
suffered from exposure. He left his
family number of years ago in the
state OF his nativity, Pennsylvania, and
went to Louisville, Col, where he
worked in the mines. At Leadville he
became involved in serious trouble
which necessitated his quitting the To-
callty and assuming an alias. He there
fore went to North Dakota bearing the
name OF Frank Dun, retaining a part
OF his first and last names. In North
ID akota, at Minot and Burlington, he
engaged in coal mining. From Da-
kota, Dunkle came to Minnesota in JAN
uary OF this year. He has roamed con-
tinuously since coming here, being in
the town of Getty longer than any one
place. The man was thinly clad and
exposed to the weather in such de-
gree that had he not been taken he
certainly would have suffered fatal re-
suits.
Dunkle does not stand still, but per-
slsts in walking back and forth. When
asked why he did this, he replied that
ne wanted to return to his family in
pennsylvania, and could not decided
which road to take, the Great Northern
or the Northern Pacific. The man did
not seem radically insane, and it was
| only after careful and continued eX-
animation that the officials arrived at
| the. conclusion of his dementia. The
patient gave his age as forty-one.
