Tried to XIII His Mother.

San Francisco, July 7.-W While in a
drunken frenzy, Cornelius Manning tried
to kill his mother by throwing lighted
lamp at her. The efforts Of Mrs. Ken
nedy, who was visiting Mrs. Manning, to
save the life of her hostess, resulted in
frightful burns, which will probably end
fatally for the unfortunate woman. Paul
Kennedy, the husband, is also painfully
burned about the hands and face, and his
little 5.year-old niece, Maud Kennedy, is
SO seriously injured from the flaming oil
that though she may recover she may be
marked for life.
The tragedy took place at the home OF
Mrs. Manning, on Jones and Greenwich
streets. Young Manning came home with
friend named Taylor. A quarrel en-
sued, and when Mrs. Manning attepted
to quiet her son he dashed small lamp
in the floor, where it exploded. He then
threw larger lamp at his mother.

Remove County OMcera.

Wallace, Idaho, July l2.-In the re.
moval cases here Judge Stewart found
that the commissioners were guilty OF will
full misconduct in allowing bills to the
sheriff in excess of lawful fees, in allow
lowing percentage for collecting license
money, in issuing saloon licenses without
application or bonds, in approving the
bonds Of county officers without sufficient
sureties, and in failing to take action
when notified Of the probable destruction
Of property at Wardner. For these he
held them guilty Of neglect sufficient to
justify removal.
In the case Of the sheriff, he said "the
defendant, by his own testimony, has con
victed himself Of the most fragrant viola
ton Of official duty"
The defense gave notice Of appeal.

San Francisco, July l0.-General J. B.
Babcock, adutant general Of the depart

volunteers will be mustered out in Ore

The transports will enter this port, how
ever, and may be delayed for some time,
according to the necessities Of the occa.
sion and for fresh supplies. The troops
will not be unloaded from the transports
This is disappointment to many Of the
citizens, who had hoped to honor and
glorify the returning volunteers. They
will proceed north by water, probably on
the same transports, although this has not
been decided upon.

Death Caused by Fright.

San Francisco, July l2.-Death called
DR.. Mary C. Edmonds, a well known ply

home, 9l3 Bush street. The accidental

window and blew a whistle. Help came,
but just as she opened the front door she
tottered and fell dead.

LABOR TROUBLE At BURKE.
MEN ARE ORDERED TO LEAVE
Masked Men Easily Pass the Guards
Ordered the Men at Work to Quit or
Suffer the Result-They Did Not Need
the Second Invitation.

Burke, Idaho, July l0.-Under the very
eye of armed troopers and deputies, a
gang of ruilians have recommended the
reign OF terror which is symbolized by the
murder of Kneebone.
Masked and armed, little crowd Of
desperadoes moved up the canyon and in
their wake they left grim warnings that
their victims must either quit work OF
suffer the consequences. The Standard
which is being successfully operated by
a crew of Missourians, was the scene u
most OF the crimes Between | and
o'clock in the morning three masked men
crept in past the line of sentinels and
made their way to the boiler house. The
fireman, II. l.. Hudson, one of the Joplin
from the glare of the furnaces, he was
confronted in the doorway by the three
men with drawn revolvers. Each of them
was masked in black calico, which reached
from forehead to chin. Two holes for the
eyes permitted each of the thugs to see.
Hudson, who is not timorous soul
supposed at first glance that the visitors
were some Of his fellow miners out for a
lark.
"Hello," said he.
For reply one of the gang stepped for.
ward and pressed piece of crumpled pa
per into his hand. There, written in lead
pencil on common note paper, was this
message:
"You are hereby warned to leave the
Coeur d'Alene district by noon tomorrow
or suffer the consequences"
Then Hudson understood, but with calm
self possession he remained at ease.
"l1l get out of here when l get good
and ready" he replied, with a slight smile,
And III let you know when l do"
you've got till just tomorrow to get
out" replied the leader with flourish
of his gun.
Hudson was not disconnected. "What
size gun is thatf" he asked with placid
curiosity. 'It's a Al"
30, pshaw, you can't scare me with a
A." answered the young fellow. "Now il
that had been a A maybe would quit
Meanwhile the smallest of the three men
had gone over to the compressor house,
a short distance away, where Engineer
Wayne was at work. Through the open
window he tossed a note similar to the one
given Hudson and then returned to his
comrades on guard over the fireman. A
moment later the three had disappeared
in the darkness as suddenly as they had
come.
A little later in came Wayne, the en-.
gineer, white and anxious. He had been
in the Coeur d'Alenes in the old union
days and had little liking for such warn,
ings. lie had seen what resulted. "Im
going to quit" said the engineer to the
young Missourian, and he did this morn.
ing.
Meanwhile a gang had met Ellis Hale
just below Burke and after stealing his
tools had warned him to leave on fear of
being "kneeboned." Hale needed no sec.
ond invitation, but took the train for
Montana this morning.
