the strong West End club.

poor bowling was the result.
In all the other games old pins We're
used.

claims to have never beer. -.rown, and
D. A. Mcmillan, mixed champion, and
Farmer Burns. clever wrestler. who
travels with the combination, will take
part.
Matches win be held between these
men. but the real feature Of the even
ing will be the series that the Turk
will hold with LEGAL men. He offers
any man 81 a minute to stay with him
and there are several of the elect in
Zion who want a few of those dollars.
Prominent among those who will try
the Turk on this proposition are Char
ley Lang, Jack Ryan, Jim Morris and
Jim Francis. All Of these men are pu-
gilists as well as wreStlers and will
doubtless make the man from over the
sea warm up. before they get through
with him. There is also man who is
being coached by John Lawson. the
Terrible Swede." whose name is not
given out, but who is talked of as d
strong candidate for wrestling honors.

CRENATORY IS BURNED
Building Near Warm Springs
Entirely Destroyed.
IT WAS A DAY OF FIRES
DEPARTMENT MADE SEVEN
RUNS AFTER NOON HOUR.


The fire fiend was actively at work
in this city yesterday afternoon and
evening, the department being called
out no less than seven times. But two
of the fires did any great amount OF
damage.
The city erematory north of the
Warm Springs was burned about $50
last night The only part of the struc-
ture left standing was the furnace and
smokestack The fire started in the
roof of the building and gained such
Roadway before discovered that the
building was entirely consumed before
the fire department reached the scene
Nightwatchman Armstrong, who was
engaged in hauling ashes from the fur
mace, was the first to discover the
flames. As soon as he saw that the
roof was burning he ran upstairs 2 I'D
turned the hose upon the blaze hut
the heat was so intense that he was
forced to leave for safety.
He attempted to go out by the south
entrance but the flames We're so ferra
that he could net pass them. The onlv
other way left to him was the tram
way on the north side.- which had Al
ready caught fire. The flames had NOT
secured much Roadway though. and h

No Contracts For Orient.

st. Paul, MINI, July 10.-The Great
Northern has given notice to all of it's
agents not to contract any freight for
China destined TO the interior points
beyond Shanghai, Hong Kong and Can
ton until conditions in that empire have
become more settled.
The Great Northern and Northern
Pacific win feel TO some extent the i'm
mediate effects of the Chinese anti
foreign uprising. The trouble has al
ready had a tendency to disturb both
east and westbound trans-Pacific bust
ness. No Chinese exports in the in
terror of the empire are reaching the
coast cities destined for the United
States. and eastbound ships must come
with lighter cargoes in consequence.
This means the two Pacific roads lead
ing into st. Paul will carry a reduced
quantity of Oriental imports. including
silks With regard TO silks, nearly
every boat up to date has brought as
high as four to six carloads of silks,
valued at from $1.O00,000 to $4,000
Some of this silk is. of course. from
Japan, but much of it is from China.

SLICK WORK AT SANDY.
How Republican Politicians Manipu-
lated the Ballots.

lated the Ballots.
From information which comes from
Sandy it is difficult to tell whether
there was a school election on Monday
or a Republican primary. The reason
why Sandy went Republican is now
very plain.
One Of the judges of election is said
to have become tired of the slowness
of the way Republican votes were com
ing in, and he left his post TO go out
and hustle votes for Mr.. Ashton He
spent a good part of his time at this
kind of work. 1t is claimed he took
voters inside the booths and fixed their
ballots for them so that they would
make no mistakes. Under the election
law no one else is allowed within
booth when a voter is marking his
ballot.
When the ballots were counted at the
end there were two more in the box
than there had been voters during the
day. Someone had stuffed the box. it
has not been learned who did this, bit
an investigation may be made.
Some of the Republican ballots hand
ed out were cut off TO make them look
like Democratic tickets. There were
several different kinds of ballots, all
designed 70 fool the voters.
There was a curious complication in
the election of Mr.. Vandam as a trus-
tee. Before the school convention he
was a Democrat and was ardently in
favor of Mr. Van Colt But his man
was defeated by Mr. Moffat. There
upon MIR. Vandam became an ardent
Republican. He was named by tn =
Republicans as trustee and was
elected

SECTION HANDS QUIT.
Gangs Over 81 Miles on Sanpete
Branch Leave.
(special to The HeraId.l

Mt Pleasant, July 10.-The strike
among the section hands on the San
pete branch of the Rio Grande Western
railway has been increased in proper
tions this week by the "going out" of
the crews from this city, Ephraim and
Manti. This leaves the branch from
Hilltop to Manti with no care. except
such as can be given by the section
foremen-
All the men who are off claim that
they can get better wages in other di-
rections than those paid them by the
Western, and that they will not return
until they are given an increase. Be
sides this, they get but S1.25 per day,
while on all other divisions the pay for
the same work is S150
Workmen are very scarce throughout
this neighborhOod at present, and the
strike may bring about the desired re
suit, if the company does not attempt
to gain the. upper hand by importing
new mer.
In an indirect way it is understood
the boss of the division at Thistle juno
ton has threatened TO settle the mat
ter by bringing in some of the recently
imported japanese section hands and
supplanting the strikers by using them.
This report is without verificatior, but
il is causing much comment through
the valley

For Delirium

Schwartz IS Kept IN Padded Cell
For Delirium-
Either he is suffering with delirium
tremens or is feignins insanity, but the
fact is that John Schwartz. the man
who with a companion was arrested for
attempting to assault two little girls
at Calder's Park Friday evening, was
in no fit condition yesterday to be
taken before Justice McMaster for
pleading to the complaint against him.
Since Saturday night he has had sew
eral fits and has been acting the part
of a mad man. His violent spurte
have caused no little apprehension 10
the Jail officials and terror to the pris-
oners.
However. last night Schwartz's con-
dition was better than for several hours
before and he was sleeping we'll in his
padded cell. If he continues to get bet
ter it will be only few days before he
can be taken into court. Under the
care of the Jail guards and DR.. Ander-
son. it is not likely TO be very long be-
fore the fellow is deemed to be in his
right mind.
