BIG WALK OUT.
Three Thousand Smelter Men
Quit Work.
Entire Mining Industry of Col
OradO Is Involved.

Denver, June 1.-THE three thousand
employees of the trust smelters in Den
yer, Pueblo and LeadvilIe walked out
at noon today after having extinguished
the fires in the big furnaces and put
everything in perfect order for a sea-
son of idIeness. Within As hours, it is
predicted, most of the mines in Lead
VILE, Aspen, Creede, Ouray and the
other mining camps of the state, with
the exception of Cripple Creek, will be
closed, throwing thousands of miners
out of employment.
The low grade metalliferous mines OF
San Juan county already have been
forced to cease operations by the strike
at the Durango smelter. All shipments
of ore and fuel to the smelters have.
been ordered stopped. AS a result
many coal mines are preparing to re-
duce their production and some will
close. Almost every industry in the
state will be affected.
The strike is due to the refusal of
the American Smelling and Refining
company to pay the same wages for
eight hours it had heretofore paid
for ten or twelve hours, or in fact, to
negotiate with the smelter mems union
concerning a scale to be paid under
the eight hour law, which becomes ef-
fective June 10. The smelter employees
rejected the offer of the smelter own
ers to continue work at the present
rate of wages until the constitutional
ity of the law shall have been passed
upon by the supreme court The Colo
rado law is a copy of the Utah law
which has been sustained by the United
States supreme court

CThe Argo) in this city and the large
plant in Pueblo owned by the Guggen-
helms, at which higher wages are paid
than at the trust smeIters, continue in
operation, the men working eight hours

severed from his body by the end of a
plank, and Michael Heffron, whose
body was found in his basement cut
squarely in half across the abdomen.
The sharp edge of some flooring was
hurled against him, going clear through
the body.
One pathetic incident was the death
of a little boy who as yet has not been
identified He was coming down the
street with a kodak in his hand when
the cyclone swept through the city, and
later his dead body was found several
rods from where he had been last seen.
His kodak was still in his hand, not a
mark on it, but the head of the little
fellow was shockingly crushed.
The supply of collins ran out early
and at present there are not enough in
the city to bury the dead. sufficient
number are on the. way from ST. Paul,
Chippewa Falls. Eau Claire and other
places and it is believed the supply will
be ample today.
A mass meeting of the clergymen of
the various denominations has been
called at the Congregational church to
arrange some definite plan for holding
the funeral services.
AS is usual in cases of such disa sters
there has been large influx of disrep-
uta BILE characters and there have been
several cases of petty Dilfering, but
they have not amounted to much. AL
though it is out of their own state, the
ST Paul police officers have done most
thieving. a large number of detectives
in plain clothes are on duty watching
the ruins and it is expected that the
militia will soon have things so well
in hand that the police officers will be
Withdrawn to their own state.

Travelling Man Tells the Story of the
Herman Disaster.

Blair. Neb., June 14.-One of the best
descriptions of the storm at Herman

ell Bluffs travelling man.
with a number of other guests was
dining in the hotel" he said, when sud
denly the wind began to rise and grow
very violent I hastened to the window
and looked to the north. could see two
immense clouds separated by quite a bit
of sky, Swirling and churning wrath
fully. We at once felt that a tornado
was at hand. Our suspicious were con-
firmed when we saw that the two df-
visions of clouds were rapidly cOnVerg-
ing into the traditional funnel shape
But while we looked it seemed to us
that the clouds would sweep to the west
and avoid the town. When it reached
a point to the northwest, we were terri
fed to see it suddenly change its course
and make directly for the town. We all
hurried into the cellar and saw no more
of the tornado but we knew by the
frightful din that it was working havoc
in the town. When it had passed we
emerged from the cellar and found that
the hotel had been wrecked and that
every building in town had been blown
down with the exception of an isolated
few on the outskirts
THE tornado had swept right down
the main street crushing the buildings
as though they We're egg shells. The
only brick building of importance in the
town was the bank After the storm 1
do not recall seeing it and 1 presume
that it too was destroyed The town was
a pile of debris soaking with water. In
front of US we could see horses, pigs
and frame buildings all heaped together.
/ could not say how many persons were
killed or how many were injured. I saw
several dead and many wounded. OF
course there were many still alive after
the. storm and they did all they could to
assist in the work of rescue. When the
first train left came to Blair"
Mr.. Kelly and several others referred
to one queer freak Of the wind which
they had observed. At a point two
blocks northwest of the Burdick hotel
workmen had nearly completed a huge
tank which was to supply the city with
water. This tank weighed in the neigh
borhood of twenty tons. When the
storm had passed the tank was found
close to the Burdick motel practically
uninjured
The work of taking the dead and
wounded out of the debris is progress
ing slowly and is likely to prove long
and difficult task

Pennsylvania Democrats Have
Cinch This Year.

Harrisburg June 14.-For the first
time in many years the Democracy of
Pennsylvania enters upon a state cam
paign assured of the success of at least
q portion of its ticket. This is due
to the conditions governing the election
of two supreme court judges next No
vember to fill the vacancies caused by
the death of Judge Williams and the re-
tirement of Chief Justice Sterrett next
January. No elector is entitled to
vote for more than one candidate for
this office, and as there will be two
elected each of the great parties will
get one. Governor Stone will prob
ably appoint the Democratic nominee
as judge as soon as his nomination is
certified to the state department, in
which event he would rank the nominee
of the Republican state convention.
which will not meet until August or
September.
Ex-Congressman Simon P. Wolverton
and Superior Court Judge Smith of
Scranton are leading candidates. The
selection of the candidates for the Of
fees of state treasurer and superior
court judge and the making of a plat
form has been almost entirely lost

court judge. Ony a few of the score of
candidates are here. but each has his
political manager with a host of lieu
tenants and shouters. The best of
feeling seems to prevail among the
friends of the various candidates and
the rivalry thus far has been very
friendly. Representative VIM T
Greasy of Columbia is almost certain of
the nominat tion of state treasurer All
indications point to a two days con-
vention.

FIGHT PICTUREAFAILURE
Electric Power Not Equal to the Num-
Der of Lights Necessary.

New York, June 14-When James JEFF
fries and Robert Fitzsimmons fought their
world at Coney Island last Friday night
an attempt was made to take vitagraph
pictures of the movements of the fighters.
The attempt according to Martin Julian.
was failure, and the promoters of the
picture arrangement may lose a large
sum. The inability of the vitagraph was
not due to a breakdown. but to the alb
sence of the necessary amount of electric
power.
The electrician having charge of the
lights in the clubhouse had agreed to pro-
vide enough electric power for twenty-five
lights; the number necessary to take per-
feet pictures of the battle. When the fight
began only. enough electric power could
be obtained to operate five lights. The
picture men did not give up hope and did
their best to make desirable pictures. but
in vain. The films in some Instances are
blurred and in others indiStinct. They
may be patched up, but at best the pic
lures will be very poor.

New Richmond, June 14.-All the
morning funerals were passing through
the town. There was but one street
paSsable from east to west across the
town, and this was a narrow, muddy

During the early part of the morning
