CADILLAC BEATEN AT ALL
POIETS OF GAME.
Five Challenges Accompany Trophy
Won By Invader Across
the Border.

Chicago, Aug. 1.-THE Canadian
yacht, Invader, Won again today in a
grand rac and the Canada's cup goes
back across the border, but accom-
panied by five challenges. So manful-
.ly was it won and so thoroughly was
the victory earned that it would be a
poor sportsman who could begrudge
the Royal Canadian Yacht club one
iota of the joy and pride of victory.
Captain William Hale Thompson and
the crew of the defeated Cadillac are
c~restfallen at the result of the inter
national sailing match and it seems
to be generally felt that they have
reason to hang their heads, for they
were beaten at all points of the game
by the more skillful Canadian skipper
and sailors. Chicago yachtsmen are
not dismayed and both the Chicago
and Columbia Yacht clubs challenged
Immediately for the cup. Each club
sent a challenge direct to Toronto
Immediately after the race at the
same time handing Commodore Good
erham of the Royal Yacht club, a dup
licate. The Rochester Yacht club
also challenged at nee and so did two
Detroit yacht clubs. The Canadian
Commodore says he cannot tell which
of the five will be given preference.

Fort McGinnis. Mont, Sept. 20, 1900.
F. B. Dennie & Co., Minneapolis, MINI.
Gentlemen: | herewith enclose
check for $4,000 for 40oz. strychnine
which l purchased from your agent,
F. D. Derby, this spring.
After giving the same a most
thorough test l am pleased to say
that it is the best strychnine that l
have seen in twenty years. My men
and wolfers nave had most excellent
results by constant use of the same.
Mr.. Lindsey, one of my men got 21
wolves with three bottles and their
carcasses were found all the way
from six to one hundred feet from the
bait.
l heartily recommend this %strychnine
to all stockmen, and hope that you will
push the sale of it, as the wolf is one
of the greatest pests to the stock
grower, and for me l have found this
a most practical method of Kidding my
range of the same, and if it is good for
me it must be good for others. Next
year l expect to place an order for a
larger quantity. Very respectfully.
OSCAR STEPHENS.

YORK STATE
STAGE HOLDUP
LONE HIGHWAYMAN TURNS
SUCCESSFUL TRICK.
TOOK EVERYTHING OF VALUE:
Some Of the Passengers Saved
Pocket Books BY Taking
to the Woods.

Glens Falls, N. Y, Aug. 14-News
was received here tonight that the
Blue Mountain stage was held up by
a masked robber at noon today at
North river. The scene of the hold
up cannot be reached by telegraph
or telephone tonight from this point,
but the following facts regarding the
robbery have been received:
The stage which was stopped con
meets with the train which reached
North Creek. Warren county, a sta
ton on the Adarondacs & Northern
railway at 10 a. m. When it left the
station today it contained seven men
and a woman, besides a quantity of
express and mail matter for Blue
Mountain lake. When the stage was
liz miles north of Dunlap's hotel at
North river, a masked robber sudden
ly appeared. His first move was to
shoot one of the horses. He then or
dered the passengers to hold up their
hands, and alight Six of the men
Immediately took to the woods, the
remaining nan remained with his
wife and was relieved of 500, but the
robber failed to find a larger sum
in another pocket. The ~highwayman
then proceeded to rifle the mail bags
and plumber the express packages,
taking everything of value. After he
had done his work he disappeared into
the woods and searching parties up
to dark have been unable to find any
trace of him.

ATTEMPTED BANK ROBBERY
BURGLARS SCARED AND TAKE
TO WOODS.
Surrounded By Militia in Strip
of Timber-Battle Ex-
pected.

Millersburg, Ohio, Aug. 14-An at
tempt was made to rob the James D.
Adams bank here early today. The
robbers are now surrounded by mi
litia men in a strip of woods Is miles
west of here. Dial Shoup, who lives
next door to the bank, heard the burg
lars at work. : Hastily summoning as
sistance, he prepared to give battle.
A picket had noted the alarm and the
bandits took to flight in two carriages
stolen from a farmer. They were To-
Gated during the morning and a part
of company /, Eighth o. N. G., has
gone to assist in their capture. A bat
tie is possible.

could climb up the charred steps and
fight the fire from the interior. 1t
was then that the horror of the calam-
ity was first realized. Everything was
a total wreck. While fremen were
pouring water on the flames there
was a roaring furnace beneath which
could not be reached. But firemen
chung to their places and fought every
inch of the way until the fire was un-
der control. After two hours hard
work five charred human bodies we're
found burned beyond recognition.
Two were in the attitude of prayer.
They must have been awakened by
the fire but could not a They
were caught like rats in a trap. One
body was burned to almost nothing.
All that could be found of it we're
the skull and some bones. The bodies
of two other men lay close to those
that were on their knees and it looked
as though they never knew what hap

suffocated before the flames reached
them.
AS soon as the five bodies were dis
covered the tug Kennedy returned to
harbor at ONCE and notified the coron-
er of the discovery. While this was
going on ways and means were being
devised to reach the imprisoned men
in the tunnel, whose air supply
had apparently been shut off entirely
by the buring of the compressed air
machinery. At times it was thought
that voices could be heard down be-
low and life savers and firemen peer
ed down with ears intent, but sounds
ceased again. At the mouth of the
shaft it was like a furnace and the
iron work was red hot from the flames.
Water that was thrown on it turned
into steam at once. Shortly after a
deluge of water had been thrown on
the smoldering shaft entrance, voices
were heard from the bottom calling
for help. A line was quickly dropped
down the shaft and as it frightened a
shout of joy went up from those about.
Slowly a man was raised. 1t was w.
Curry of Canton. His pallid ACE COW
cred with slime, his staring eyes and
heaving chest, told of the horror of
the hours he had spent in the tunnel.
AS soon as he could gasp Curry said:
They are all at the bottom of the
shaft, hurry up" In quick succession
seven others were brought up from
the foul and sitting air of the tunnel.
All were in a most pitiable condition.
They reported that two other men
were lying unconscious at the bottom
of the shaft. A workman volunteered
to rescue these men and he was quick.
The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1901-08-16

ly lowered into the shaft. In a few
moments the unconscious men were
brought up more dead than alive.
Tugs that hurried out to the scene
as soon as the fire was discovered,
succeeded in rescuing no less than 20
men, who were found clinging to
wreckage and ropes tied to the burn
ing structure.
The tunnel, which has been under
course of construction for several
years, and is still far from complete,
has cost all told a loss of more than
so lives.
Four years ago an explosion in the
short section of the tunnel resulted in
the suffocation of IS men. Two years
ago in a similar accident several more
men were killed near the scene of to-
days catastrophy, which adds at
least ten names to the death list.
The fire today was due to an over
heated boiler s~mokestack. The boiler
exploded soon after the flames broke
out. The crib itself was of pine tim
Der, built up straight from the waters
edge.
The men, who were asleep in their
hunks sprang up to find themselves
in the midst of flames. Down in the
shaft under the lake, II men were dig
ging away, unconscious of their dan
ger until their air supply was cut off.

Gentlemen: I'have heard so many
of the large stock-growers who are
using your brand of strychnine or wolf
poison speak of it so highly, and after
careful inquiry satisfying myself that
it is the only poison on the market
worthy of recommendation, l wish to
ask you if you will not thoroughly
advertise it that all will use the same
and soon do away with this greatest
of all pests to s~tockgrowers.
You should have a big sale for it I
am fully convinced, and | am positive
if you will make it's superior quality
known all will use it. l have heard
enough to satisfy me that it is worthy
of endorsement by all who are inter-
ested in the welfare of. the stock
grower. Your respectively

Work OF Building to Be Continued
Until Completed.
New York, Aug. 1.-THE Tribune
says that Senator w. A. Clark of Mon
tana, who is in this city, has contra
dicted the report that he had con-
ferred with representatives of E. H.
Hartman in Chicago and that there
has been an agreement by which the
southern branch of the Oregon Short
Line will be turned over to him and
Union Pacific opposition to the con-
struction of his railroad between Los
Angeles to Salt Lake City will cease.
Senator Clark said there had been in
reference with the building of his
railroad from Los Angeles to Salt
Lake City, the trouble being of such a
stubborn kind as to call for the inter-
ferance of the courts. Injunctions and
orders for arrests had been obtained,
he said, and he expected TO carry on
the work of building the road to d
successful termination.

Gentlemen: After using a large
quantity of your strychnine or wolf
qoison, and giving it a most thorough
test we are pleased to say that it is
the best and cheapest poison we have
ever used, and we hope that you will
make its true worth known to all
stockgrowers.
Experience teaches us that it is
cheaper to use the best poison, as this
has proven itself to be at any price,
than the ordinary grades as a gift.

Dear Sirs: After using forty ounces
of your %strychnine or wolf poison this
fall and winter, we take great pleasure
in saying that it is the best poison we
have ever seen or used. We get more
wolves and coyotes with an ounce
bottle of it than we generally get with
a dozen of the common grades.
When all StOckmen realize that this
poison is all that is claimed for it,
and use it asswe will continue to do,
we will then have less wolves to con
tend with. We hope you will advertise
this poison and push the sale of it as
the wolf question is a problem which
we all have to deal with alike.

satisfactory. We have gotten as high
as t~wenty-four grey wolves with one

Kindly forward us a pound of the
