EIGHT INCHES OF SNOW.
Strictly Winter Weather at Deer
Lodge.

f - US
Deer Lodge, May 21.-Beginning
last evening. a steady rain commenc-
ed to fall, lasting four hours. At IL
O'Clock it turned into a heavy snow
storm, which lasted almost the en-
tire day turning into rain again late
this afternoon. It is estimated that
fully eight inches of snow fell in this
valley, doing great damage to trees,
telephone wires, etc.
On the ranges here the Landing sea-
son is at it's height and the loss in
this line will be very heavy. Yet the
benefit to the ranges and growing
crops cannot be estimated unless it
continues too long. AT Z O'clock this
evening there is a light rain falling
and it is feared by residents along
Cottonwood creek that their property
will be in danger should it turn warm
suddenly. The railroad company is
also taking precautions in the way
of fortifying places that are liable
to become weak and give way to the
torrents that must come from the ad-
jacent mountains.
Just for the novelty Of the thing, ].

SECOND WEEK OF STRIKE
Only the Engineers and Pumpmen and
a Few Helpers Went Near
the Golfers.

Hazleton, Pa, May 19.-The second
week of the total suspension of hard
coal mining as a result of the deadlock
between miners and mine-owners be-
gun today without the faintest ripple
to disturb the calmness of the situa-
ton.
Not one of the coal companies in
this territory made an attempt to
statre up a colliery today and not a
miner wandered near the big black
breakers.
No one was about the collieries ex-
cept the engineers, firemen and pump
runners and men whose duty it is to
keep looking after the mules that have
been brought to the surface and the
repairmen who are doing odd jobs
of patchwork in and about the main
buildings.
The miners held meetings today at
which speeches were made by the
local leaders for the purpose of keep
ing up the courage of the men.
New members were taken in by
some Of the locals and the matter of
preparing to relieve the distress in
case the strike is prolonged was dis
cussed.
AS far as can be learned there. have
been no applications received by the
union for aid.

FoR MEMORIAL DAY.
Veterans Will Honor Memory Of Dead
Comrades.

Comrades.
From Thursdays Daily Gazette.
A meeting of survivors of the civil
and Spanish-American wars was held
last night in the parlors of the fire de-
partment. Owing to the very limited
number of old soldiers in the city the
meeting was not very large, but the
interest manifested by those pres
ent more than made up for the lack
of attendance.
The proceedings we're informal in
their nature and it was decided not
to attempt to arrange any regular pro-
gramme. Captain L. F. Babcock was
selected as marshal of the day and
will have charge of the exercises at
the cemetery, assisted by Captain J.
G. Bond. The Rev. Mr.. Clark will
be the chaplain and will conduct the
religious ceremonies. He will proba-
bly, also make a brief address.
All the churches are invited to par.
ticipate and all else who can are re.
quested to- attend. The start for the
cemetery will be from the fire hall
at 2 o'clock and the journey to the
graveyard will be in carriages.
As in past years, the committee will
be glad to receive donation of flowers
which may be left at the fire hall
where Captain Bond will receive and
care for them.

LANDSLIDE NEAR HoMEsTAKE.
Coast Limited Went by Way
of Helena,

Butte, May 21.-There was a wash
out and landslide on the Northern Pa
cific railroad today about three and
a half miles west of Homestake, near
bridge 81, which caused a delay in
getting trains in and out of Butte,
and it was reported late in the after
noon that the track will not be clear
until morning.
The North Coast Limited did not
pass through here Wednesday even
ing, but switched off at Logan and
went west by way of Helena. A
"stub" train was run to Garrison from
Butte and connected with the other
train at that point. This arrangement
enabled the road to handle it's bust
ness without any serious inconven-
fence, and passengers who learned
of the change in time were able to
connect at Garrison.
The washout will not cause any Sc
rious damage to the track, but the
clearing away of the debris will be a
rather expressive and somewhat
lengthy task. The recent rains have
loosened the earth and Wednesdays
landslide started with the fall of an
enormous rock weighing many tons
and carrying with it many mor tons
of earth. The mass Of earth and stone
fell squarely across the track, and
the task of removing it will be no
small matter.

ONE HORSE KILLED AND COACH
BADLY DAMAGED.
FAST RIDE DOWN HILL
"1 NF |a s G |fII n
Passengers on Lewistown Stage Have
Z Marrow Escape From Death
in the ssmashup.

ceived here this morning of a serious
accident to the Lewistown stage line,
but the details were not received un-
til the arrival Of Charles Wells, the
stock tender at Square Butte, with the
mail. Then it was learned that the
stage horses ran away on the Shon-
kin hill, more or less injuring the pas
sengers in the coach, killing one of
the horses and smashing up the stage.
John Decker was driving and he had
in the coach as passengers, William
H. Tolbert of Great Falls, John Brooks
of Brooks Brothers, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Harrison Decker. All were severely
shaken up but not seriously injured.
Mr.. Brooks received a severe cut in
the head and Tolbert was badly brus-
ed.
The coach, which was drawn by a
four-horse team, had just arrived at
the summit Of the Shonkin hill. At
this point Decker got down from his
seat for the purpose Of adjusting the
rughlocks. He had just landed On the
ground when the Horses took fright
and started down the steep incline at
a mad pace. Decker managed, by a
tremendous effort, to regain his seat,
but the horses had a Roadway and it
was impossible to stop them. Had
Decker been able to keep the team
in the middle of the road the bottom
of the hill would have been reached
in safety. However, one of the horses
lunged into the lead bars and fell to
the ground, on which he was dragged
for a considerable distance. Finally
the stage was drawn over the pros
trate animal, killing it.
The coach was upset and the driver
and passengers all thrown violently
to the ground. The animals were
brought to a %standstill and the stage
righted. l..W .fS-g@
It proceeded with two horses to
Highwood Lake, where a fresh team
was secured. All went we'll until the
hill at Rocky Ridge was reached, when
one of the wheelers kicked over the
pole and for a second time the occu-
pants of the stage were given a thrill
ling ride at top speed. 3
At the bottom of the hill theTlead
team broke loose. Finally the stage
managed to reach Campbell's place,
where the passengers remained and
this morning another stage will be
sent out from here to get them and
bring them in .
As it was impossible to travel fur
Their, the mail was given to Stock
tender Wells and he brought it here
This evening Mr.. Tolbert reached
Lewistown, and while pretty sore, is
not seriously hurt.

SENTIMENT VERSUS FACT.
Comment o. : Medical Journal on
Death Of Admiral Sampson.

~ S0sSuRoSbts bEE- az
Washington, May 21.-Some rather
foolish efforts have been made to in
duce the public to believe that the
late Admiral Simpsons death was the
direct result of his ".broken heart
due to the failure of the public to
recognize him as the hero Of Santi-
ago. It is true that Admiral Samp-
son felt, and felt with great bitter
ness, what he and his friends believ-
ed was a national injustice, and it
is also true that for some time after
the Spanish war Sampson was in
such a state of mind that he occasion
ally gave way to fits of weeping and
moaning, due to nervous collapse.
But the disease which caused his
death, arterial lesion, had attacked
him before the war, and would have
killed him in time had there been no
Santiago fight with it's misunder.
standings and controversies.
1t is we'll known to naval officers
that during the val Admiral Sampson
had begun to show that tendency to
slip" on words and. small details
which is a mark of the disease with
which he was suffering, and that Cap
tain Chadwick and other officers who
were by his side constantly, helped
him in all such affairs. writing or
revising dispatches or Jogging his
memory. At the same time Samp-
sons mind was as clear as a bell. In
this respect he did not show signs Of
collapse till about a year ago.
Since his death. ex-senator Long
and not a few more have asserted,
without qualification, the admiral was
killed by his experience Of a ma
TONS ingratitude. The upholders of
this theory may be interested in some
remarks on Sentimental Pathology"
made by the Philadelphia Medical
Journal, al authority as high as it is
reputable. The malady of which the
admiral died is first described: "The
so-called softening of the brain, with
hemorrhage, is simply a necrosis of
cerebral tissue, caused by an inter-
rupted blood supply, which in turn is
caused by thickening and obstruction
o f the cerebral arteries" Then, af-
ter admitting that it was natural
enough for the public to see in Ad-
| miral Sampson's death a possible re-
suit of mental perturbation, or worry
and chagrin, the Medical Journal con-
tinues: "Such a death as that OF Ad-
miral Sampson is a purely physical
affair. We can imagine no degree
of worriment that could cause arteral
sclerosis. This lesion occurs in all
sorts and conditions of men and wo-
men. 1t is of slow onset and gradual
progress, and is due to vitochemical
changes in the blood and tissues. We
are all creatures of our moral environ
ment. This materialistic doctrine is
not popular with sentimentalists, but
is in accord with physiological facts.
Admiral Simpsons death would prob
ably have resulted in precisely the
way it did, even If the Spanish war
had never been waged, or the naval
battle of Santiago had not been des-
tined to be fought with even more
ardor on the land than it had been on
the sea

COMPANY REFUSES TERMS
East Helena smeiter Lockout Will Be
Continued indefinitely.

Continued Indefinitely.
Helena, May 21.-All hope for an
immediate settlement OF labor trou-
bles at East Helena was abandoned
this afternoon. The American Smelt-
ing and Refining company has an
nounced that II, will not reconsider its
determination to keep the works clos
ea down, and the strikers have also
determined to stick to their positions.
The result is that the East Helena
smelter, which was closed down last
month, will remain dead for an in
definite period.
At 6 o'clock this afternoon a COM
mittee of union men from East Hex
ena met in the Quincy block in this
city to receive a final decision from
Manager Whitley.
Decision of Company.
Gentlemen: Further, in reference
to our declaration to- you of the four
teenth inst, as bearing on your prop
OS1I1OA Which was 0uO4A1JNOu W OuA
New York Office, we beg to state that
we have received q telegram, dated
yesterday (the twentieth) from u
executive committee, which states
that they are not willing to change
their decision with regard to starting
the plant.
In submitting the proposition to
our New York Office it was necessary
for me to give them in detail, the con
ditions with regard to the submitting
of the same, and your executive com
mittee, when waiting upon us was
headed by representatives and mem
bers of the executive committee of a
labor union. Our executive commit
tee considered it a proposition from
the union rather than from individual
employees.
No Further Attempt.
The committee decided in view OF
the positive character of the state
ment to recommend no further ad-
anc upon the part of the union to
the company.
They said tonight that the organi-
zation would be maintained and that
it would not be permitted to die down
just because it's members we're out
of employment.
Mr.. Bowden, who is undoubtedly
referred to in Manager Whitley's let
ter, will leave tomorrow for Denver,
to attend a convention of the Western
Federation which meets there next
week. He said tonight that no further
attempt would be made on the part
of the union to bring about a settle
ment.
The communication referred to by
Manager Whitley was his reply to a
proposition from the employees sub
mitted to him May Is.

SANToS-DUMAS HAS RIVAL
Inventor Leaves for East With Cap

From Thursdays Daily Gazette.

Z From Thursdays Daily Gazette.
The American Aerial Navigation
company with a capital stock Of $780,.
900 was organized yesterday at Red
Lodge. The organization purposes to
set up an opposition shop to Santos
Dumas, the noted French aerial nav
igator.
For some months past the state
press has made reference to a flying
machine devised by T. G. Benbow, a
Carbon county rancher. The people
in the neighborhood of Benbow's
home looked upon the scheme in a
rather skeptical manner and many Of
the state newspapers viewed him as
a man a little bit "loose in his upper
story" Benbow, however, went right
along %perfecting his machine and
some months ago went to Washington
to make his filing in the patent Office.
While at the national capital the rep
resentatiye of Mum & Co., publish

pmnented him on what he claimed to
be a feasible device, and the govern
ment officer in charge Of the Smith
sonian institution also said that he
had some faith in the Benbow inven-
ton. e
Mr.. Benbow then returned to the
seclusion Of his rural home and con
tinued improvements on his aerial
ship. Finally he submitted his plans
to a number of neighbors and the re-
suit of their Investigations was the
organization of the American Aerial
Navigation company.
The incorporates are all local peo-
pie and the president pf the company
is former County Commissioner La
velle of this county. S. Simonson
of Absorakee is vice-president and
George Person of Red Lodge, secre-
tary.
Messrs. Benbow, Lavelle and Simon
son we're in the city last evening and
Benbow left o. a night train for New
York with sufficient courage and cap
ital to build a machine. which he es-
Inmates will cost $4,000.
The machine is to be propelled by
a gasoline motor and will require
about five-horse power. There are
quite a number Of canvass wings on
either side and these open and shut
at the will of the operator by operat-
ing a small lever. Two large rubber
bags are attached in which will be
carried gas. One of these only is re
quired to enable the machine to fly
through space. the second being at
tached merely to be pressed into
service if the event the gas escapes
from the other in case of breakage.
Benbow's invention will be watch
ed with a great deal of interest from
now on. His first ship will be nam
ed "Absorakee Cheoquota," taken
from the language of the Grow tribe
Of Indians, and which interpreted
means white Crow
