shingles and when she struck they
opened up like cardboard. the bundles
of shingles broke and llew upinto the
mir like a dense cloud, falling aud
completely covering the wreck by n
high pile and at once caught fire.
The heat became 50 intense that no
one could get near To help the unior-
tunate victims who were yet alive.
While the rescuers were Mt work
Superintendent Downseould be heard
calling from under the wreck. His
shouts could be heard but no one
could locate him.
His son was not heard TO make an
outcry and was probably crushed to
death. Mr.. Downs was superintend-
ent Of the western division, Minot to
the coast. and had recently been ap-
pointed superintendent Of the Oregon
Railway & Navigation company.
After the fire was over not n trace of
either body could be found.
A visit to the coroner's office this
morning revealed grewsome sights.
The sidewalk and street before the
building were spattered with blocd.
Within were four corpscs on stretch
ers. On the floor, filling the small
room completely. were manglcd re-
mains, a foul odOr and ghastly and
bloody faces. The coroner's assist
nnt, Mr.. Potter. was busy preparing
the bodies for burial. The coroner
went up to the wreck this morning
to hold an inquest. One mans face
only was unscarred; the Others were
crushed In every conceivable manner.
Henry Blair's right cheek was cut,
and there was hole In his forehead.
Another unknown had his head tied
together with n handkerchief. A
fourth man, with heavy black beard,
had his head ground and crushed as
by wheels. He was apparently about
45 years old. The fifth corpse on the
floor was simply cut to pieces. Not
II recognizable feature was left. The
legs were cut off and all bones broken
aud chest smashed In.
The first Of these five was identified
by j. +. Maule as being Jack Hadcn,
who worked for Tom Moran at st.
Peters Mission six or seven years
ago.
The train with doctors and the
dead and living got into the city AT
3 O'Clock this morning. IL stopped

x. D. HICKEY RtcITIS ms EXPERIENCE.
President Shafier Charged With Violating
the Constitution Of the Order.

Milwaukee, Sept. 1.-Charges that
the national officers of the Amalga-
mated association of iron, tin and
steel workers had misreprescnted the
attitude of the United States steel
corporation toward organized labor
In order to get members Of the associ-
alton out on a strike were made by
former Vice-President *. ID. Hickey
at the meeting OF the Bayview lodge
today. In n cool, unimpassioned
manner Mr.. Hickey gave the commit
tee the result OF his recent trip to
Pittsburg, where he went for the pur-
pose OF investigating the situation In
regard to the steel strike. and the ait
uation as summed up by him was
that the strike appears to belost and
1t may take years to repair the dam
aye to the association which has al
ready been done.
Mr.. Hickey's report was listened to
by all the men with respectful atten-
tion, and although no vote upon the
question OF return to work was taken,
the result OF Mr.. Hickey's statements
was that the truth regarding the sit
uation OF the steel workers has for
the first time beer told by a man
whose experience and standing In the
organization qualified him to make
such statements. Mr.. Hickey made
no recommendation to the lodge as
to their future action, but it IL be-
lleved that his speech may cause a
change In the sentiment not only In
Bayview, but in other places In the
fourth district.
Nearly all the members of the lodge
were present when the meeting was
called to order and u number who
had been represented to he away
working in other places turned up in
time for the meeting. Among these
was Corresponding Secretary yalen-
tlneC. Dolley, who had been working
for the Republic Steel and Iron COM
pany In South Chicago.
President Rediern OF the local lodge
presided at the meeting, and when 1t
had concluded he stated that there
had been no vote taken, though no
one had questioned the accuracy OF
Mr.. Hlckey's statements; that his re-
marks will be reported in full to the
national officers OF the organization,
and that II may result In bringing
Assistant Secretary Michael Tighe
here again, or some other member OF
the grand lodge, was the belief OF
members OF the local association.
President Rediern said that 80 far
1t appeared to be the opinion Of the
majority that the men should not
return To work until they had been
ordered back by the national officers.
Mr.. Hickey had little tn say about
the visit In Pittsburg with President
Shaffer or other officials. The confer
ence was mainly personal. In which
President Shaffcr was charged with
violating the constitution in ordering
the strike.

Parade Was a Success-Joyous But
Orderly Crowd Filled the City
on Monday Last
INTERESTING DRILLING CONTEST
SPORTS Success-Phenomenal Time
Made by the Youngsters
Base Ball Game.

The first regularly organized OBJ
servance OF Labor Day in Lewistown
was a decided success. The weather
was very favorable and largecrowds
from the neighboring towns came to
the city to participate In the celebra-
tions, held to observe the day set
aside for that purpose. The arrange
ments for the day were under the
management OF the Judith Mountain
Miners Union and the Lewistown
labor organization and much of the
pleasure and enjoyment OF the occa-
sion was due to the excellent prepar-
ations made by the executive COM
mittees of the two orders.
The citizens Of Lewistown were not
generally prepared for so extensive
parade and many firms were not
represented for that reason. At an
early hour In the morning rigs could
be seen coming In every direction,
loaded with miners and their wives,
sisters and sweethearts and 1t Is
many u long day since Lewistown
has been In possession OF so joyous
yet withal, SO orderly crowd. The
parade formed on the flats east OF
the city at ten O'Clock In the morn
ing and Mayor Cook, who was In
attendance, turned the city over to
the labor organizations for the day
in very neat.and appropriate speech
made from the platform Of the union
float on which were seated President
wunderlin, Vlce-President Bailey and
officials of the unions.
Headed by the Lewistown band,
which cheered the line of march with
enlivening airs, the big parade start
ed down Main street with the entire
membership of the combined unions
In the lead. Next came the union
float arranged In imitation ofacouncil
chamber of the order and occupied
by members representing a meeting
I'm session. Following this came the
exhibit OF w. s. Smith, the furniture
dealer. which was arranged as II
ward in a union hospital with n doc
tor In attendance and two small boys
representing sick miners, who were
reposing in very comfortable look
ing bed.
The restaurant float by Skinner
Bros. was very realistic and Alexan-
der Van Iderstine was kept extreme
ly busy attending to the wants OF
his fair customers who were imper-
sonated by Miss Julia Sturman and
several children.
A. Hopkins 4 Sons had very
elaborate display OF groceries In line
which was tassefully arranged and
bright with case goods and national
bunting.

This was extremely fast. the young
sters coming down the stretch with
Johnny Morris In the lead by ten
feet and landing on the tape In the
phenomenal time OF Z Is seconds.
Ross Rix took second place.
The old-timers race was then called
and Johnny Crowley, Frank Mosh'
ner, W. s. Smith and William Atchi-
son were started over the seventy
five yard track.
This race resulted in an exciting
finish with Johnny Crowley in the
lead and Frank Moshner a good
second. Time 10 seconds.
Elaborate preparations had been
made for the next event, which was
n rock-drilling contest between min
ers from the Spotted Horse mines. A
large mass OF rock. weighing In the
neighborhood OF 1000 pounds, had
been procured and placed In position
for the contest, In which much inter-
est was evinced. The contesting
teams were Grant McLarey and John
Scott and j. L. McKinnon and Tom
Fisher, who are all reno wned for their
prowess with the hammer. Scott
and McLarey won the first prize of
800, drilling 7A-inch holein 10 min
utes, while the second prize OF $50
was secured by j. l.. McIiinnon and
Tom Fisher, who dropped 3Oh-inch
hole In the solid rock In thesame time.
Considerable money changed hands
on the outcome of this contest, which
was watched withintense interest by
the spectators.
The ground was then cleared for a
friendly game OF baseball between
mines from Lewistown and Gilt Edge,
which resulted In very interesting
and sociable game, which although
not played In a very scientific man.
ner, furnished much fun and amuse-
ment for the crowd, who good
naturedly chaffed the players during
the game. At the conclusion Of the
ninth inning the score stood 10 to l3,
favor Of the Gilt Edge team, who
were assisted by Pitcher Daniel and
III. Jorgensen OF the Lewistown nine,
who caught for the visitors. Carr
pitched the last six innings for Gilt
Edge. The game passed pleasantly
and no serious alterations took
place, everybody seeming bent on
having good time.
