ter the boys disappearance Mrs. Ru-
brecht was confined to her bed. She had
been injured in a trolley accident just
before her son John was kidnapped, and
her husband had left her year ago.
Her thoughts reverted to the lost boy
yesterday and she knelt in prayer. As
she prayed the door opened and the
child ran in. The mother, with tears in
her eyes, kissed the little fellow many
times before che began to question him
as to where he had been.
He said that when on July 10 of last

to the Hudson river to gather wood a

to him II he would go to the Forty-sec-

Change of Venue Granted.

Sioux City. Jan. 20-Eugene Lutz's
$4,000 damage suit against the Sioux
City Brewing Company and its individ-
ual officers yesterday was ordered
transferred to the district court of
Plymouth county on the plaintiff mo-
ton for change of venue.
Judge Gaynor's order was that the
sporting fraternity might call draw.
Lutz objected to trial in either Wood
bury or Plymouth county. and desired
hearing In Monona county. The de-
PENDANTS insisted on trial in this coun-
ty.
During the course of the hearing. the
attorneys for the defendants sought to
compel Lutz to go on the stand in sup
port of his affidavit that he could
not get fair trial in either Woodbury.
or Plymouth county His attorneys OBJ
jected, however. on the ground that
court the principal affiant in motion
for a change of venue could not be
cross examined on his affidavit. The
attorneys for the defendant urged that
this ruling was made prior to the en-
actment of the present statute under
which the proceedings were brought
Judge Gaynor held that the court might
call the principal affiant to the stand
for cross examination if 1t wanted to
satisfy itself as to the affidavit. How
ever, Judge Gaynor announced that he
did not care to exercise this right, and
Lutz was excused from testlfying.

AN uhDEReRouND BATTLE.
A Desperate Encounter With Ore

Thieves in Independence Mine.
Victor. Colo, Jan. IA desperate
battle 400 feet under ground between ore
thieves and officers and trusted en-
ployes occurred in the Independence
mine, on Battle mountain.
Between fifty and seventy-five shots
were exchanged by the opposing parties,
and Lee Glockner, member of the COM
pany's force, was shot twice. The battle
was fought in darkness far down in the
mountain, and neither party knew or
could Judge the strength of the other.
The opposing forces We're within close
range of each other. and there was little
chance for bullets from their rifles and
revolvers going astray.
The almost entire absence of casualties
Is partly explained by the fact that the
members of each party We're fully up
to all tricks and that by taking adj
vantage of every obstruction, crowding
close to the drift timbers and lying fiat
upon the floor of the drift, they escaped.
The ore robbers We're detected in the
act of looting rich streak of good ore.
Detectives last Wednesday found that
the robbers operated between and
o'clolck each morning. A number of
detectives, mine policemen, and few
specially trusted miners were notified
to enter the mine individually
and secrete themselves at designated
spots, there to remain until the last
shift went off at 2:3O, when theye were
to assemble in the fourth level near the
big shaft

DENouNcEs LABOR UNIONS.
Address of Geo. F. Baer at Franklin
and Marshall College.

and Marshall College.
Lancaster. Pa, Jan. 17.--At Franklin
and Marshall College chapel last evening
George F. Baer. president of the board
of trustees of the college, and president
of the Philadelphia & Reading railway
and the Central Railroad of New Jersey,
delivered a lecture on Work is Wor-
ship" in which he severely denounces
IL Dor unions. He said in part:
To-day there is no greater absolute
despotism and tyranny on the earth
work because of some other mans quar-
rel. In some trades employers are not
permitted to employ workmen without
labor organization cards. Union men
will not work with non union men. Was
ever greater tyranny practiced by one
set of men over their fellow men?
so apathetic has the public con-
science become to the terrorism, tyr
amy and lawlessness of labor organiza-
tons that not only the politicians, who
are seeking votes, but well-meaning
men, who ought to know better, cry
aloud against the DEGREES of the courts
when the principles of constitutional lib
erty are invoked in legally establishing
tribunals to restrain the lawlessness Of
labor organizations.
Labor may organize, but 1t may not
tyrannize. Labor organizations hitherto
have failed because they have entirely
overlooked these simple fundamental
truths

of it is almost unreliable when
