PECULIAR CONFEDERATION.
Load Of Hay En- Route to Town Burned
on the Wagon.

A blazing load of hay en-. route to Butte
was the spectacle witnessed by many near
the old town Of Silver Bow this morning.
The hay was owned by Frank Notstein,
a rancher near Dawson. 1t was consigned
to a hay and grain dealer in Butte and
was in charge Of Mr.. Notstein's hired man.
Just before he reached the school house at
Silver Bow the drived noticed smoke IS
suing from the lower part of the wagon,
and stopping the four-hOrse team dis
mounted to make an investigation.
A glance was sufficient to convince him
that the load of hay was on fire, and real
izing that the flames had gained too much
Roadway to Quench them, he unhitched the
horses, and after securing them to a tele-
graph pole. endeavored to save the wagon.
The hay was burning fiercely, however,
and he was compelled to beat a hasty re-
treat. The wagon was burned down to the
axle and is also a total loss.
The driver claims that the fire was
caused by the friction of the brake on the
wheels,

STRIKE DECLARED OFF.
Agreement Is Reached on the st. Louis
Street Car Troubles.

st. Louis, July 3.-There was great re-
joicing throughout the city today when
1t was announced that the st. Louis
Transit company and the strikers griev-
ance committee had come to an agree
ment and that the strike that had been
OF for just eight weeks had been declared
off.
There seems to be some hitch in the
matter, however. AS the day advanced,
1T developed that many of the strikers
are not pleased with the agreement sign
ed by their committee. They assert that
the committee had no final authority to
call off the strike. They did nave author
ity, themen declare, to come to an agree
ment as to the strike along the lines pro-
posed by President Gompers when he was
in st. Louis recently. The committees
authority extended that far and no fur
ther, they say. A meeting has been call
ed this afternoon, when the strikers will
consider the agreement signed last night
by the committee.
