Foreign LnbOrers.
HELENA. Mon, June a.-Two days ago
Sheriff Davidson was notified that IN
known men had driven off party of Jap
ane5e who were working for the Great
Northern Railroad at Wolf Creek. and he
was asked to send up an official to investi-
gate, and if possible to arrest the people
who had intimidated the laborers.
According to the story told by Deputy
Cuskelly on Thursday evening a party Of
men estimated to number twenty. each OF
whom had his features concealed by a
handkerchief worn over his face. made
call on the Japanese camp. The Japanese
laborers had been divided into two parties
of six each and they made their headquar-
ters In two tents not far from the station
at Wolf Creek. They were in charge of
two guards and in addition there was a
third man who acted as interpreter and
who overlooked the operations of the two
gangs.
When the masked men appeared they
ordered the guards TO go to the station
and then they hustled the Japanese into
a wagon driven down the road to within
few miles OF Craig Then they were
unloaded and told to get out of the coun-
lTy. ne Jd.uutSt went 10 craig and
were taken by the railroad back to camp
at Wolf Creek. On Friday the two guards
in charge of the japanese gave up their
jobs, and on Friday evening party of six
or seven men again visited the japanese.
They succeeded in rounding up only
about six or seven. and these were hustled
into wagon and started toward Craig.
The party of intimidators WAS not dis
guised on Friday night. and the members
were not so gentle with the japanese as on
the first night. Three of the Orentals were
beaten about the head with revolvers. and
while they we're not seriously injured. their
bruises were painful. As on Thursday
night. the laborers werG taken down the
road toward Craig and warned to leave the
country which they did. g,g.-

STONED THEasTREET CARS.
More Demonstrations Against the st
Louis Transit COMPANY

ST. LOUIS, June 24.-several Transit
Company cars we're stoned today by strike
symrathizers in the south end of the city.
Notwithstanding downpour of rain all
day, but few persons rode in the cars ex-
cept on lines east and west. Another
victim has been added to the list of dead
as result OF the strike. Richard H.
Stillson, motorman thirty-three years
old, was shot in a riot on May 90. The
bullet entered his back, producing paraly
sis. He was taken to St James Hospital
where he died today.
Ten arrests were made this afternoon
of men who were known to have partici-
pated in the riot on May 90. Superintend-
ent Rice, of the California Street division
was shot at the same time, bullet pass
ing through his arm. The arrest of Ora
Naviil. a Transit Company employe, on
Thursday night seems to have put stop
to dynamiting street cars. no explosives
having been found on any of the tracks
since his capture.
Chief Campbell said today that every
thing pointed to Havill being the head and
front of the plot to blow up cars. 1t is
charged that he resorted to dynamite with
view to strengthening his standing with
the Transit Company and not with the
intention of causing loss OF life or de-
structiOn of property

NEW YORK, June 2i.-The door of the

Adolph Wolf, at 102 East Fifteenth Street.
was opened with bang at noon today.
and Wolf. who is stout German, rushed
out. He was holding his hand to a long
cut in his neck, from which the blood was
pouring.
why, what's the matter, wolf?" asked
Policeman Oppelt. who had known the fur
niture man for seven years. What's the
trouble?"
Wolf told him partly in English and
partly in German that he had been lying
on the bed in one of the rooms back of
the store asleep and he had been awakened
by some one trying to cut his throat. When
he opened his eyes and jumped up there
was his wife, Annie, in front OF him with
4 bloody razor in her hand.
The policeman ran into the house with
Wolf and the pair found Mrs. Wolf lying
on lounge with bad cash in her own
throat. The policeman bandaged up the
wound and then ran out TO the corner and
telephoned to Bellevue Hospital for an am
bulance and two surgeons. The latter
dressed the wounds of the couple and took
them TO the hospital.
There Mrs. Wolf told the policeman she
was despondent because her husbands
business was not good and they were too
proud to beg. She was afraid they might
starve, she said and she had determined
to end both their lives rather than undergo
suffering. She was made prisoner at the
hospital. The doctors said she would prob
ably recover, although her wound was
| dangerous.
When her husbands wounds were
dressed he went back to his store. There
he told a reporter they were not poverty
stricken. He worked hard for a living,
he said but he managed to pay the rent
and buy food.
THE trouble was" he said, "the wife
heard the other day from the old country
that her father and mother were very sick
and would die. The blood wen: to her

days she has been crazy"

CAUSE OF TIE DISASTER.
RAILWAY OG;cinl Says n CIoudburs
Washed Away the Culyert.

Washed Away the Culvert.
General Superintendent Lee of the
Southern Railroad was seen at his resi-
dence, 1872 RIGGS Street. last night. IL
regard to the wreck he said:
One and a half miles east of McDon-
ough Is Camp Creek. A culvert twenty
five feet wide and forty feet fill carries
the stream under the tracks of the rail
road. 1t was at this point that the acci-
dent occurred.
THE rains have been very heavy in
this section of the country: but the east
bound train had passed this poin: only
two hours before the accident. and OBJ
served nothing alarming in the height
of the water in the creek. A cloudburst
at some subsequent moment filled the
stream and tore away the walls of the
culvert for about one hundred and fifty
feet along the railroad track
The westbound passenger train, -un-
ming between Macon and Atlanta on the
Macon Division. at s o'clock Saturday
night, dashed into this stream with the
engine, a combination car. a passenger
coach, and a Pullman coach. The train
subsequently, caught fire. but little dam.
age was done by the flames.
Twenty-Five bodies have been recov-
cred, and there may possibly be several
Others who have been killed Owing to
the fact that all of the train crew were
lost the passenger lists cannot be made
up, and We are uncertain as to the num-
Der who may have perished in the wreck.
Six of the passengers and the Pullman
porter escaped uninjured.
Seven of the passengers. fourteen en-
ployes. and four unidentified persons were
killed. and their bodies recovered. The
reports DO not state whether those Jni-
Identified are passengers or employees.
This Is the account UP to IL o'clock noon.
ITO account for the extra number of
employees on the train, section foreman
with a gang OF men, and two conductors
