e. E. Benjamin living in Fremont
township near Walahalla, has returned
within the past few days from an. Acver-

C. c. Cleveland was knocked down and
trampled on by aherd OF bronchos at
Milton one day last week. He was in
the act of cutting one out OF the herd

ribs and innumberable bruises. The herd
belonged to L. D. Sweetman, in whose
employ Cleveland had been for some
time
Robert Murie gave his friends here at
home pleasant surprise on his return
with his daughter from their two months
visit across the ocean to his old home in
Scotland. Mr.. Murie tells of much
pleasure that the trip gave him and it is
regrettable to know that he should
reach here just in time to hear that his

trous loss by hail in four years.

started by Mr.. DeBurg one which will
be of mutual benefit to himself and the
city. His new outfit is a dandy end there

the business. He has an advertisement

STRONG PRESSURE
ON STEEL WORKERS
sHAFFER ADVISES MEN TO Ac-
CEPT REDUCTION AS 1T WILL
GIVE STEADY EMPLOYMENT
MORE MILLS WILL OPEN.

Elwood. Ind. July 2s.-Great pressure
was today. without tie desired result
brous-'+ to bear to have the Amalgamated
Ass Ion of Iron and Steel Workers
acceA he rs per cent reduction in wages
in orr r that the American Tin Plate
Compa y may secure an order of 100000
boxes of tin from the Standard Oil Com
pany. President Shaffer and Secretary
Williams, who arrived In the city this
morning. advised the men to rescind
their former action, but without avail
There is now no probability of the men
accepting the company's proposition.
In an interview President Shaffer said:
'It was for the best interest of both
employer and employe to accept the re-
duction and thereby insure the men
steady work, while the employer would
get business that otherwise would go
to foreign manufacturers.
"a refusal of the men will not precip-
itate a strike, but 1t will probably result
in a number of eastern mills being closed
and perhaps a few of the western mills
being idle for several weeks In the year
Should the men accept the reduction it
would mean the starting of number of
mills that are now idle and would give
employment to a greater number of men"

AIR In KLONDIKE
MINE WAS GOOD
INVESTIGATION INTO DISASTER
AT JoHNSTOWN SHOWS THAT
EVERY PREcAUTIoN HAD BEEN
TAKEN BY THE COMPANY.

Johnstown. Pa. July 23.-Coroner E. r.
Miller today began the inquest into the
disaster in the Cambria Steel Company's
rolling mill mine on July 10, by which
112 men lost their lives. So far as the
inquest has proceeded the following facts
have been established:
All the men working in dangerous Sec
tions were provided with safety lamps
and instructed in their use.
Not all the lamps were locked.
On the night before the explosion at
least one safety lamp was opened to en-
able the miners to fire blast.
No broken or defective safety lamps
were ever found in the Klondike.
The men were shown how to examine
for gas and instructed to do so. They
were ordered to test for gas before firing
blasts.
All were warned to be especially care
full when about to cut through into old
workings.
All dangerous places were marked with
boards or signs, which the men some-
times moved when in the way.
Miners left matches outside when going
into entries known to contain gas No
smoking was allowed there.
The air in the Klondike was good at
all times and the majority of the wit
nesses said that they had not discovered
gas in any of the workings
Three blasts were fired during the night
before the explosion.

Daring Hold Up on Mexican
Central Railroad
DISAPPEAR IN The NIGHT
secreted Themselves on Train, Then
Entered Express Car and Forced
Messenger to Open safe-No
Resistance Offered.

Ell Paso. Tex, July GA daring hold
up took place on the Mexican Central at
about 1890 o'clock yesterday morning
just after the train left Bermejillo. At
Bermejillo three Americans boarded the
train, two secreting themselves on tAe
blind baggage and the other entering the
third-class coach. AS soon as the train
pulled out the two riding on the blind
baggage entered the express car cover
ing Messenger Buckmer with their guns,
ordered him to ahrow up his hands, The
messenger offered no resistance. The rob-
bers then went leisurely through the safe
securing $4,000 IN currency consigned to
the Banco Minero, at Chihuahua They
also took what other money packages
that were in the safe and stood quiet
until the train stopped, making a hasty
exit and dropped off the train as 1t was
slowing up. Alighting they disappeared
into the darkness of the night.
About the time the robbers entered the
express car the conductor of the train be-
came engaged in an alteration with a
passenger who refused to pay his fare.
Finally the conductor had the train stop
ped ard the passenger elected. The rob-
bers alighted at the same time. It is now
believed the troublesome passenger was
a partner of the robbers and his actions
a ruse to secure the stoppage of the
train.

OPERATORS DENY CHARGE.
Says II Is ImmaterIal to Them Who
Gets Relief Fund.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 23.-In reply to
the charge made by 7. D. Nichols, presi-
dent of District No. l, United Mine Work.
ers of America, that agents of the coal
companies are circulating among the
strikers and trying to persuade them to
apply In a body for aid when the relief
fund is opened. in the hope that the de-
fense fund may be wiped out In a short
time, local coal operators say that they
have no knowledge that any of their
representatives are connected in any way
with the strikers relief One operator
said 1t was immaterial to the mine owners
to whom the relief was distributed, or
who gets 1t.
At strike headquarters none of the dis
tr1ct sub-leaders seem to be disconnected
over the statement issued by some of the
presidents of the coal carrying roads that
they expect the striking miners to be-
come discouraged before long and then
make a rush to get back to work Ma
tional Board Member John Fallon is au-
thority for the statement that the strikers
are by no means discouraged, but on the
contrary now that they are to receive
assistance from their bituminous brethren
are very much encouraged. President
Mitchell may not return until Friday.
Edward Jones, the Coal and Iron po-
liceman who shot and killed James
Thompson, another deputy at Sugar
Notch, yesterday. was given a hearing
in court today. The evidence showed that
the shooting was accidental and the
prisoner was discharged.
