NO STOCK YARDS STRIKE
In Chicago the Company Yielded and
Granted Demands.

Chicago, June 9.-The threatened
strike today of all the allied unions
employed by the different meat pack
ing concerns was averted by the Stock
Yards company surrendering to the
Stock Yards Employees union. All
the demands of the union were grant
ed, and the cattle drivers, who we're
recently discharged after forming a
union, will return TO work tomorrow
morning in their former places. The
settlement of the trouble was brought
about by Michael Donnelly, president
of the Butchers and Meat Cutters
national organization.
Alarmed by the disturbances that
marked the strike of the packing house
teamsters last week, the employers
have started a movement for the pre-
vention of strikes by organizing an
arbitration board. 1t is proposed
that all difficulties that cannot be set
tied directly shall be submitted to a
joint advisory board composed of rep
resentatives from the employers as
sociations and the unions affiliated
with the National Teamsters' union
for arbitration.

a Boer commando was arrested today

from France. Lynch has remained
out of the country since he was in

WORK OF LIGHTNING
Government Report Says 7l3 Persons
We're Killed in 1900

Washington, June 9.-Although
''heaven may have more thunders TO
alarm than thunderbolts to punish"
investigation indicates that instances
of fatality from lightning are more
frequent than is generally believed .
The Agricultural department has
made public a report prepared by
Alfred j. Henry, professor of meteor
ology at the United States weather
bureau, on the loss of life in the
United States by lightning. The
purpose of the report is to furnish ac-
curate information as to the annual
destruction of human life by light
ming; to point out the regions, where
the greatest loss Of life occurs, and,
so far as practicable, to call atten-
ton to few simplel precautions
against danger that may be exer-
cised. Prof. Henry began "a statsti-
cal inquiry in 1890 and this inquiry
was continued up to and including
| 1900.
The year 1900 is dealt with specif-
lrAlly by the report. In that year 7l3
persons were killed or died of their
in iuries. OF this number 291 persons
we're killed in the open, l5S in houses,
81 under trees, and So in barns. The
circumstances attending the death OF
the remaining 15l are not known.
Nine hundred and seventy-three
persons we're more or less injured by
lightluing stroke. OF this number 327
receiv we'd their injuries while in houses,
243 ia the open, 81 in barns and 2S
Under trees. The circumstances at.
tending the injury of the remaining
3l6 cases are not known.

Salem, Ore, June 1.-TWO prisoners,
Henry Tracy, sentenced to twenty
years, and David Merrill, thirteen
year man, serving sentences for as
sault and robbery committed in Null
nomah county, escaped from the peni-
tentiary this morning after killing
three guards, Frank Ferrell, shop
guard; S. r. Jones and Benjamin
Tiffany, fencemen. The prisoners
had marched into the foundry for
work, when Tracy appeared suddenly
with rifle and shot Ferrell. Ingram,
life prisoner, attempted to take the
rife from Tracy and Merrill shot
Ingram through the leg, shattering it.
Other prisoners, forced at the point
of pistol, permitted the two lmen to
climb ladder TO the wall. Getting
outside they shot Jones. Tiffany, af.
ter being wounded, jumped off the
fence and followed the men, shooting
at them until they killed him. The
prisoners then escaped into the woods,
A posse of forty men is after the
prisoners.
