then proceeds to take a fall out of
Kelsey, by saying that he refused
the publication wilfully and with
the intent of invalidatfng and max
ing null and void the meeting of the
commissioners on the date called
for in the notice, and prays that
Kelsey's action be declared refus-
al to publish the notice, and that
the commissioners be required to
disregard Kelsey s action and call
an election.
This throws the case into the
courts, and whichever way Judge
Qvale decides next Monday, an ap-
peal to the Supreme Court will be
taken. That body does not convene
until October, and decision is not
likely before November.
The Oliyia attorneys will, of
course, assist the county attorney
in fighting the mandamus.

RAILROAD WORK.
Being Pushed on Both Lines for
This County.

About a mile of grading on the
Gulf & Manitoba Railway in the
Beaver creek valley has already
been completed, and Contractor
King is pushing the work more
rapidly than ever. Last week
eight or ten of his men went on a
strike, andMr. King refused toaccede
to the demand for 81 per day, but
instead engaged other men, and
now has about 30 teams, with about
30 men at work. The grade up the
valley, so far as the work has been
done, is verv pretty, and is convinc-
ing Of a piece of genuine railroad
work. It will be continued to the
Henryville town line as rapidly as
it can be pushed.
Mr.. King has his tent up on the
side hill of what is known as the
Morse farm, where his own teams
and men are cared for. On Monday
afternoon he received large addi-
tion to his crew by teams and men
coming from the south.

loads to the stacking ground at the

loads to the stacking ground at the
same time and were engaged III
stacking from the loads. Ernest
was pitching and his father was
receiving and stacking the bundles.
The bolt came. It did not strike
Ernest, there being no marks on
the body of any kind to disprove
this, and DR.. Hawes states that the
shock was so terrible that it killed
the boy instantly.
The lightning struck the father,
however, on the right arm, passing
from the axilla down the inner side
Of the arm to the wrist, where it
jumped to the fingers, passing down
between the first and middle fingers,
the fluid then leaving the hand and
tearing open the overalls in four
places, and also tearing off one but
ton, passing from the button to the
lower part of the abdomen, down
the right thigh to the foot Here it
tore open the shoe, and passed out
of the same to the stack, to which
the lightning set fire.
In some way, unknown to him
self or anyone else, Mr.. Luscher
got off the stack, and a few minutes
later, the neighbors noticing that
the stack was on fire, rushed to the
scene Of the accident, and found the
boy dead and Mr.. Luscher sitting
against the stack, unable to move.
He was dragged away from the
burning stack just in time to save
being burned to death.
Mr.. Luscher was taken to the
house and placed in bed, and re-
mained there until about six o'clock,
when he arose and moved around,
apparently none the worse for the
terrible experience through which
he passed. The three horses which
were knocked to the ground arose
shortly after the bolt fell, and were
uninjured.
Mr.. Luscher lost about five loads
of grain in the stack.
The funeral of Ernest Luscher
was held from the church in New
Avon Monday, and was largely at
tended by the friends, neighbors
and relatives of the Luscher family.

Ernest LuSCh6r OF New Avon
Knocked Dead bu
Lightning.
The Father, R. LuSCh6r, Mar
rOWIu Escapes Death
by Same Bolt.

Ernest Luscher, the ten year old
son of Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph Lus-
cher. was instantly killed by the
shock from a bolt of lightning,
about $50 o'clock last Saturday
morning.
Rudolph Luscher, the father of
the boy was struck by the bolt, and
after passing all over his body, the
fluid passed to the grain stack on
which Mr.. Luscher was standing
and set fire to it. Mr.. Luscher was
picked up few minutes later by
neighbors just in time to avoid be-
ing burned to death by the flames.
One horse was killed and three
were knocked to the ground by the
awful bolt.
People in this vicinity will re-
member the sharp flash, followed by
the quick crash of thunder, on that
Saturday morning, and everybody
predicted that the lightning had
struck somewhere with fatal effect,
if life or property happened to be
in its path. Mr.. Luscher's home
was the victim of the lightning's
wrath.
Ernest Luscher, who is FIVE
months over ten years old, was
helping his father stack grain in
the field. The two were using two
teams and wagons, hauling two

HE|NzES CITED TO APPEAR
Must Show Cause Why They
Should Not Be Punished.
AN ALLEGED VIOLATION
O. s. Batternaan and F, e. Greene Affirm
That They Are Informed That the
Defendants Have Disregarded
a Restraining Order

+. Augustus Henze and Arthur P.
Heinze have been cited to appear be-
fore Judge Lindsay at o'clock next
Thursday afternoon and show cause
why they should not be punished for
contempt, for an alleged violation of
restrainin~ order issued in one of the
Michael Dewitt cases last Friday. The
contempt order was issued yesterday
morning upon several affidavits made
by c. S: Batterman and F. E. Greene,
and submitted by Attorney L. o. Ev-
ans, representing the Butte & Boston
company, plaintiff in the case.
Batterman sets up in his affidavit
that the suit was brought on June s,
and an order was issued the next day
restraining the defendants from min
ing or extracting ore and from remov-
ing any ore already mined by the de-
PENDANTS in the Michael Dewitt The
restraining order was served on the
defendants by the sheriff about S
o'clock on the same day. Batterman
further relates that the Montana Ore
Purchasing company is in possession
and control of the Rarus mine, which
adjoins the Michael Dewitt, and of GER
tain shafts and workings connecting
with the Michael Dewitt. F. Augustus
Heinze is president and A. P. Heinze
secretary of the company, and as such
they manage. control and direct its
business and operations. The affiant
is informed and believes that the de-
PENDANTS have not observed the re-
straining order, but have wilfully dis
obeyed and violated it, and have ever
since the issuance of the order been
engaged in mining and extracting val
liable ores from within it's premises de-
scribed in the restraining order and
have trammed and hoisted the ores
through the workings of and with the
machinery of the Montana Ore Pur-
chasing company and have converted
the ore to their own uses. 1t is further
alleged that the two defendants, at the
time of the violation of the order had
full knowledge of it, but notwithstand-
ing said knowledge, they have wilfully
violated the order.
For some months past the plaintiff,
the Butte & Boston company, has been
in possession of the workings east of,
and connecting with, the workings of
the Michael Dewitt. through which it
and it's agents could gain access to the
workings of that property, but the de-
PENDANTS. or the Montana Ore Purchas-
ing company, which is controlled by
the defendants, have bulkheaded and
blocked the openings into the Michael
Dewitt so that the representatives of
the Butte & Boston cannot get in to
inspect the property and ascertain
whether the defendants are mining
therein.
In the affidavit of F. E. Greene, the
latter says that at II o'clock on the
night of the 9th he entered the work
ings of the Michael Dewitt from what
is known as the Berkeley shaft, and

AN ELOQUENT ADDRESS
DR.. De Putron G1iddon' Memoir
Remarks on Odd Fellowship.
THE TWO GREAT TRUTHS
Fatherhood Of God and Brotherhood of
Man, are the Principles With Which
Mankind Must Deal-Brothers
and Sisters Departed.

DR.. de Putron Gliddon addressed the
1t was the annual memorial address
and large gathering of members and
friends listened to the able remarks,
which were as follows:
odd Fellows were originally SO call
ed because they did something unusual.
Their popularity was that they looked
after one another. They We're stone
masons, and in the spirit of self-pro-
lection, banded themselves together for
mutual help. Every member subscribed
one penny a week, something like the
Methodist class penny that my Cornish
friends have heard about. This was so
uncommon in those days that they were
considered peculiar folks, odd fellows.
Gradually, as the years have passed
by and we have learned still more of
the true ethics of life, we have come
to, understand, and, to some extent, be-
lieve., in, the two great truths that are
the most prominent to-day-the father
hood of God and the brotherhood of
man. In days gone by people We're
taught those sweet comforting doc
trines of predestination, the horrors Of
judgment day and hell fire, and by all
that kind of tomtom banging, men
We're supposed to be scared into being
decent, but were not, though the char
acter of the Great Father was thereby
daily and barefacedly insulted. To-
day we have lived past all that, and the
best thought of the world centers
around the twin truths l just now
spoke of.
odd Fellowship, like almost every
thing else has felt the touch of the
daylight that has sprung from the hills
of the land of dawn and has chased
away the vile bats of 18th century SUI
rerstiton, and it has grown with the
charging thought. If it had not it
would be dead, for lodge full of num-
mics would not gain recruits to its
ranks in this latter day.
so that Odd Fellowship not only
looks after the penny week part of
the work, but touches vitality the think
ing side of it's membership. Fifteen
years ago, at Paddington station, Lon
don, / saw General Booth in a train
going to Bristol, and innocently asked
him if he were going to open chapel.
He said: No; we don't build chapels
and churches; we build men, Odd Eel
lowshp is trying to do that. We have
not forgotten, by any means, that to
build men sometimes means bread and
coffee and shoes and hats and coats and
work and medicine; but we also remem-
Der that to teach a man to think and
then to think rightly is another and
most important part of the work in
hand.
Among other means adopted by this
order is the very beautiful one OF Me-
mortal day. On this occasion the power
of memory is appealed to and facts of

THE \. {. A. EXCURSION
Supt. Hendricks Arranging for
the Trip to Los Angeles.
WILL LEAVE EARLY IN JULY
Expected That the Montana Teachers
Delegation Will b About $50
Strong-Southern Pacific Wants
the Entire Haul.

J. P. Hendricks, superintendent of
city schools, left last night for Great
Falls to be absent for three or four
days. Mr.. Hendricks is manager and
director for the state of Montana in
the National Educational association
excursion which is being arranged to go
to the meeting of the association in Los
Angeles on July lila. He will see the
teachers of the Falls and Fort Shaw
and will make the necessary arrange
ment for the start, which will be early
in July, possibly before the Fourth.
The start from this state will, however,
depend upon arrangements yet to be
made with the railroads. 1t is not de-
cided which route will be taken. The
hope is that trips may be made to Port
land, down to San Francisco overland,
over the Southern Pacific to Los An
geles and return from Les Angeles by
boat to the sound or Portland. The
proposition hinges on the action of the
Southern Pacific people, who would
rather carry the eXcursfoniSts over their
lines and not let them get away from
them at all.
Mr.. Hendricks expects that there will
be about $50 teachers in the Montana
party, ar9 of this number about so
from Butte. There will also be
many besides teachers who will take
advantage of the rates to enjoy trip
to the Eden of the nation. There will
be about $4,000 teachers in Los Angeles
from every part of the United States.

THE NEW ARRANGEMENTS
So Far No Definite Information Hes
Been Given Out as to the Plans of

No official information or announce
ment has been yet received IN Butte
relative to the contemplated change in
the through train schedules On the
Northern Pacific and Great Nc,tiern,
though the local repr ese natives CT
both roads are daily exo,eIing in

that nothing at that time lad ,een

to run train out of s.. Paul in the

The appearance of a large amount of
new equipment on the Northern Pacific
has given rise to the report that the
company is having a hard time meet
ing the demands of it's traffic. An Off
Ger of the company says this report is
incorrect. He says: We have had to
secure several thousand new cars. Sew
eral hundred are now under construc-
ton. 1t takes a pretty large amount
of new equipment every year to keep so
large system up to normal require
ments. Then our business is increas-
ing very rapidly We will in the flu
ture need a much larger total equip
ment than heretofore, as will most 9TH
er large Western roads. The impress
sion that we were short of equipment
has arisen from the fact that many
fiat cars have been called out for con-
struction purposes. We have not let
construction and improvement work,
however interfere with our traffic bust
ness. Included in the new equipment
are many coal cars of the hopper pat
tern. Coal is being mined, and sold
more extensively in Washington, and
the general increase of business has
increased the consumption of many
thousands of tons on our lines between
