Wardner, Idaho, May 2.-Wardner,
during the past twenty-four hours, has
been the scene of the worst riots since
the deadly labor war of 1892. One
man is dead, another is thought TO be
mortally wounded and property valued
ut S250,oO0 has been destroyed by
giant powder and fire. The damage
was done by union miners and sympa-
thizers of Canyon Greek. about twenty
miles from here. Saturday morning a
mob of from 500 To 1000 men, all of
them armed and many of them
masked, seized a train ut Burke. the
head Of Canyon creek. The visitors
brought with them 800 pounds Of giant
powder. After a party of two hours
140 masked men from Burke and
Wardner. armed with Winchester
rifles. started with yells for the Bunk
or Hill and Sullivan mills and other
buildings a third of a mile away.
They sent pickets ahead and one Of
them fired a shot as a signal that the
mill was abandoned. This was mis-
understood by the main body of the
mob, who imagined that non-union
miners in the hills had opened fire on
them and they began to fire upon their
own pickets. About 1000 shots were
nus exchanged between the rioters
and their pickets, and Jack Smith, one
of the pickets.' formerly OF British
Columbia, and a noted figure In drill
contests, was shot dead.
The Fntia Error
was discovered after a few seconds
firing and Smiths body brought down
from the hillside. BY this time the
strikers had taken possession of the
Bunker Hill and Sullivan mill, which
they found deserted, the manager
having directed the employees not to
risk their lives by battling with the
mob. Powder was called for and sixty
fifty-pound boxes were carried from
the depot to the mill. The heaviest
charge was placed under the brick Of
fee building. Other charges We're
placed around the mill. Then the
boarding house, a frame structure, was
burned. Fuses leading to the charges
were lighted and the strikers, carrying
the dead body Of the picket, retired TO
n safe distance. At 2:36 D. m. the first
blast went off. 1t shock the ground

walls Of about sixty seconds four 9th
err charges went off, the fifth being the
largest. and completely demolished the
mill. The loss to the Bunker dill and
Sullivan company is estimated from
$4,000 to 100000. In a few minutes
the strikers went back to the station,
the whistle was blown for stragglers,
the mob climbed aboard and ut 8
o'clock, just three hours after its ar
rival. the train started for Canyon
Greek.

seventy acres in area on the fairly
level top, indented with countless great
bays, notched with dizzy chasms. The
greater part OF the island overhangs
the sea like huge mushroom, and on
the top stands a town which for arts
tic charm, chronological interest and
romantic history has no peer. This
little town of Ancoma is one of the
most perfect of types of the pre-his-
toric Pueblo architecture. Most OF the
houses remain of the type invented

on the second and third floors, and
using the ground floor as a cellar.
Against enemies armed only with
bows and arrows this was a fair de-
fence. Comfort had to be sacrificed to
safety. Nothing except the eagle
sought such inaccessible eyries as
,hese victims of their own civilization
Because they were farmers instead of
because they had homes
instead of being Migrants, they were
easy to find, and they were the prey
of a hundred nOmad tribes. With in
labor this island town in
the air was built and fortified 1t was
reached only by a mere trail of toe

THE STERLING CONSIDERED THE
BEST WHEEL MADE.

LAS the constant drop of water
Wears away the hardest stone;
AS the constant gnaw of tiger
MasticateS the toughest bone;
AS the constant, cooling lover

So the constant cycle rider
Says the Sterling'S the best wheel

Many and varied are the bicycles
which are now offered to the riding
public; some good, others fairly SO;
but more which are scarcely worthy
of the name. To the inexperienced
wheelman all wheels look alike to him.
as they are enameled, nickeled and
decorated to produce like effect. The
best fittings, as tires, saddles, etc, are
also sometimes to be found on the
cheapest wheels; this being possible, as
the money which should be expended
on good material and the skillful man
ufacture of same is used instead, for
the outside appearances; thus bright
nickel and good enamel may cover
the cheapest cast-iron and gas pipe.
In the everyday use of a cycle, it is
subjected to very severe strains, and a
machine upon which the owner is to
trust his safety should be carefully SCI
lected, as an imperfectly brazed tube,
or other similar defect, is liable to
cause serious injury to the rider.
Therefore it is well, when purchasing
a wheel, to examine fully into it's con-
struction, material used, and the
amount of experience it's makers have
had in the building of cycles.
