C ~LAWLESSNESS.
HiEhwRymen in the L%ayvtOn, okla.
District, Rob prairie chOon
ers" and Kill Two Men,

Lawton, Okla, Aug. 1.-Two men
killed by highwaymen, one seriously
wounded, $1,000 in money and nine
watches taken, IS the criminal record
of the Lawton district for "a hours.
Irwin Rogers, of May county, Okla
homa, was shot and killed instantly
by one of three men who on Monday
night attempted to hold up a party
a mile south of the town site. All
but Rogers a and the robbers
thought he intended to fight. An
other gang OF highwaymen robbed
nine different prairie schooners rear
Rush Springs Sunday night. The tel
egraph wires were cut and the news
did not reach here until Tuesday.
The gang was composed of three
men, all of whom rode thoroughbred
horses. In one wagon, containing q.
Z. Beemblossom, of Guthrie, his IL
year-old son and two other persons,
young Beemblossom was killed, and a
man, name unknown, riding a horse
nearby, was shot and wounded Sc
riously. The highwaymen in each in
stance escaped.
After waiting in vain for the au-
thorities to act, the citizens of Law
ton took the gambling question in
their own hands Monday night. The
sure thing gamblers, emboldened by
their successes Saturday and Sunday.
stopped at nothing Monday. People
were openly robbed. A crowd of
homeseekers finally organized and
served formal notice that no more
unlicensed gambling would be permit
ted in or around Lawton. 1t was a
business organization which did not
mince any words, and there T no
sure-thing devices in sight.

FINDING The DEAD.
Searchers at Work in Ruins Of
Philadelphia Explosion.

Philadelphia, Aug. 7.-Seven dead,
three or four probably fatally injured,
and more than so other persons hurt
more n less seriously, is the latest re-
yised record of Monday nights explo-
sion in the block of buildings OF Lo-
Gust street, above Tenth street, in this
city.~ How many more victims, if any,
are still in the ruins will not be known
until the debris is cleared away, which
will require many more hours of hard
work. The latest find was made at
eight o'clock Tuesday night, when the
badly burned remains of a colored man
was found in the wreckage on the
sidewalk. The list of dead is as fol-
lows:
The Victims.
Elizabeth Mountain, aged 3s years;
Frederick Lee, aged 40 (c%olored); un-
known colored child, aged about
three years; unknown colored wom-
an, aged about %, and three unknown
colored men, ranging in ages from
about 30 to 40 years.
The most seriously injured, who
are likely to die, ire: Mrs. Patrick
Quigley, Samuel Gates (colored), Liz
zie Watkins (colored) and Morris
Rosenthal.
The escape from death of Lizzie
Watkins is considered remarkable.
She was buried almost a dozen feet
under the debris with fire all around
her, and was taken from the ruins
Az hours after the explosion oc-
Cured. She was badly burned and
bruised and her sight was destroyed.
Searching for thu Dead.
, Undeterred by the incessant rain,
the work of searching for the dead
has been kept up continuously dur
ing the "a hours since the explosion
occurred. The only person who was
positively known to be in the ruins
was Elizabeth Mountain, and a
large force of men was kept con-
stantly at work in the debris where
her mothers house had stood. The
efforts of the searchers were reward
ed at four o'clock Tuesday afternoon,
when in a corner of the cellar, COW
cred partly by broken bricks, the re-
mains of the unfortunate oma
were found. Her mother and broth
er had stood by during the entire
night and day watching the search
ers at work. One cOlored man was
found in the ruins of the restaurant,
which was patronized by negroes.
He was supposed to be a helper in
the place, but no one could be found
to identify him. The man found
Tuesday night was about IS years
of age and had on the uniform of
a bootblack.
Many of the residents of the neigh
borhood believe there are more bod
les in the ~wreckage. There are sew
eral persons missing, but as some of
these had no known permanent place
of residence, it cannot be stated to a
certainty that they are buried in the
ruins. The police and fire officials
can give nc opinion except what they
gather from those who lived in the
vicinity Of the disaster.
The police and fire officials are
also making a search for the cause
of the explosion. but they have no
positive proof as to its cause. They
hold to the theory that gasoline did
the damage, and that it had been
stored in one of the three grocery
stores.

THE ORDER IS GIVEN.
President Shaffer Issues General
Call to Strike.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Aug. THE die is
cast. The battle of the giants is on
in earnest, whether to ignominious
defeat of one side or the other, or
compromise, remains to be seen. Up
to Tuesday evening it has been mere.
ly a skirmish, each side trying to find
the vulnerable spot in the others
armor. Now it is different, brought
about by the actual issuance by Pres
ident Shaffer of the long talked of
general strike order. This order was
promulgated Tuesday evening, to take
effect after the last turn of the mills
on August 10. What the result win
be no man can foretell, but judging
by the expressed determination OF
both parties to the controversy the
battle win be waged fast and furious
~. Much money will be lost, thou
sands upon thousands of men will be
idle, great suffering is looked for,
even bloodshed and death are pos
sible and feared. The strike call in
| cludes practically all Amalgamated
men in the United States Steel cor
poration's employ not now on strike.
1t was issued from the ~Amalgamated
association headquarters and mailed
to all Amalgamated lodge officials
who are expected to call their men
into the strike.
viii Affect over 100000 Men.
The strike viii affect all the Anal
gamated men employed by the Ma
tional Steel company, Federal Steel
company and National Tube com-
pany. President Shaffer says the
manufacturers have had sufficient no.
tice. He does not anticipate any set
Element before the strike goes into
effect. The men are ordered out
after the last turn on August 10. The
order will throw idle about 10000
union men and about 10000 in the
| mills who are connected with the Fed
Grafton of Labor and who are not
organized, but who Will have no work
by reason of the strike of the skilled
men. Altogether 100000 men will
likely be idle. The order, it is said,
will also call out the men at the fur
naces owned by the United States
steer GOIpOIdblOu VIZ AK " hHNNA
beers of the Amalgamated association,
.butwho are connected with the Amer
lean Federation of Labor.
The Order,
The text of the call follows:
sBrethren: The officials of the United
States steel trust have refused to recog-
nize as union men those who are now strlV-
ing for the right to organize. The eXecu-
tive board has authorized me TO issue a
call upon all Amalgamated and other union
men in name and heart to join in the move
ment to fight for labor's rights.
I'VE must fight or give up forever our
personal liberties.
you will be told that you ave signed
contracts, but you never agreed TO sur
render those contracts to the United States
Steel corporation. Its officers think YOU
were sold to them just as the mills were,
contracts and all.
Remember, before you agreed to n
contract you took an obligation to the
Amalgamated association. 1t now calls
you 10 help In this hour OF need.
Unless the trouble is settled on or be-
fore Saturday, August 10, 1901, the mills will
close when the last turn is made on that
day.
Brethren, this is the call to preserve our
organization. We trust you and need you.
Come and help US, and may right come to
q just cause. Fraternally yours,
ct. J. SHAFFER."

Vaults Rich Contents.

There were four fine gold bricks in
the vault which the robbers looted.
Each was ten inches long, five inches
wide and four inches in height. They
were all stamped with number, weight
and fineness, and ran thus: NO. 1886.
containing 119O.37 ounces; No. 1927.
containing 1127.43 ounces; No. 1898,
containing 1882 ounces. and No.
1899, containing 1073.79 ounces. All
the bricks were 99s fine and worth
$1,000 per ounce. In addition to this
there were stolen from the bullion
vault crude gold in all shapes and
sizes, and some of it IN bars of different
lengths.
The Oskaloosa herald., 1901-08-08

Probably preparatory engineering
extending over several weeks was done
before the robbery could be accom-
plished. Close to the wall of the build
ing in which the vault is located a
shaft was sunk below the foundation.
Then a tunnel was run to the vault and
holes were bored in the iron floor un-
til an aperture sufficiently large to ad-
init a man was made. 1t was then
easy work to pass down the treasure
into the tunnel and load it into a boat.
The robbers even took the ~precaution
to sprinkle red pepper in the tunnel in
order to make things as uncomfortable
as possible for anyone who might at
tempt to pursue them.
