special officers a troop Of cavalry
was hurried to the locality and q COM
pany Of infantry followed. AS the
soldiers neared the scene the crowd
cheered at first. Then a lombard
ment of stones began. A number Of
the officers and men were struck and
injured slightly. The deputies stop
ped the onslaught by firing q volley
into the air. This caused the crowd
to fall back and the car proceeded.
The incident seemed to awaken the
disturbing element. just before l
O'Clock another car, escorted by a
squad of cavalry and filled with dep
uty sheriffs, was stalled on Main
street by a mob. Stones crashed
through the windows and a tumult was
raised. Then a volley of shots was
fred by the deputies. Tanner Peter
son, IL years old, fell, perhaps fatally
wounded. The incident staggered the
crowd. The car, badly damaged, was
then permitted to pass.

for insanity.

Anaconda, June 12.-W. J. Johnson
and Hugh Daily of this city, who were
arrested yesterday charged with VIC
latiata the state anti-gambling law,
were arraigned in Justice Kennedy's
court this morning, for lack of evil
dence were dismissed.
Ed. Devine, the ex-alderman who
wired Attorney General Donovan that
gambling was wide open here, was
put en- the stand for the state. He
testified that he was drunk at the
time and not responsible for what he
did. Furthermore he denied all
knowledge Of gambling in this city
and said he knew of no one who would
testify that games had been running
Attorney General Donovan was pres
ent and naturally got rather sore when
he found his trip here was a wild
goose chase.
He gave Devine a fatherly tall
about his future conduct and ended
by instructing County Attorney Dun,
to issue a warrant for Devine, charg
ing him with insanity, which, how
ever, was not done, a. it was simpl,

gentlemen, the anthracite strike is
complete, and we are going to win"
This emphatic statement was made
to the assembled newspaper corre-
spondents by President Mitchell in his
Office at strike headquarters last night.
With reference to the soft coal
strike in West Virginia, Mr.. Mitchell
said:
rat present there are 27,5 0 mine
workers out in the West Virginia
fields. Reports from Virginia, where
there are 5000 mine workers, are in
complete and I cannot say anything
as to that state. I think we will win
that fight also. Suspensions in West
Virginia will cut off a large amount
CT soft coal that is shipped to the At
lantic seaboard, but there is no con.
nection between the anthracite strike
here and the bituminous suspension
there"

CONTINUE TO SURRENDER
HoERs BITTER AGAINST GER.
MANY AND FRANCE.
Over Eleven Thousand Have Already
Laid Down Their Arms-@Hold-
ing Out Ammunition.

Pretoria, June 12.-In ell, 1925.
Beers have surrendered up to date.
Many are youngsters of II years of
age and upwards. The majority are
under so, though some are septuagen-
arians. Advices from all the districts
say that the burghers are increasing
ly friendly. The only bitterness OBJ
served among the leading Beers here
is against France and Germany. They
declare the raj was protracted un-
necessarily owing to hopes held out
by the French and German press.
Some of the Beers are so ~incensed
that they have expressed the hope
that some day they will fight on the
side of the English against n OF
these powers.
The anticipated friction between the
surrendered Beers and their former
comrades of the Natal scouts has not
materialized to any extent.
The Beers admit they received am.
munition through Portuguese terri
tory. General DeWet says the young
sters were his best fighters after the
| older burghers had cleared out.
The Beers Of the Orange River Col
ony are handing in only a small per
centage of their ammunition. They
explain that they used most of it II
hunting game since the peace agree
ment was signed.
Addressing the surrendered Boer!

King Edward, his government and tn
British people was to help the burgh
ers and get them back on their farms
so soon as possible. The king. tn
general added, had telegraph
ed congratulations on the goo
stand they had made. This al
nouncement was greeted with lust
cheers for the king and for Lor

VIEWS IRRIGATION BILL WITH
ALARM.
WESTERN men ARE UNITED
MondelI Will Champion the Measure
and a New Yorker Lead the
Opposition.

Washington, June 12.-When the
house met today, Mr.. Ray Of New
York, chairman Of the judiciary COM
mittee, asked unanimous consent that
Monday after the consideration OF
bills under suspension of the rules,
and Tuesday, be set apart for the bill
to amend the bankruptcy act. There
was no objection and the order was
made.
Mr.. Dalzell then presented a special
order for the consideration of the SEN
ate irrigation bill, one day for debate
and one day for amendment under the
five minute rule.
Mr.. Robinson of Indiana opposed
the adoption of the rule. He declared
the bill would be beneficial to the arid
land states and dangerous to all 9TH
ers. He criticised the action OF the
democratic congressional committee
in adopting a resolution favoring the
irrigation bill. He declared that the
| committee was without jurisdiction
and had no power to bind democratic
members. The whole scheme was un-
democratic, he asserted, and was In
the interest of land grant railways.
Mr.. Underwood of Alabama favored
the adoption of the rule. He argued
that the only method of building ul
the arid land states vas to provide
for their irrigation. The bill would
not take a dollar out of the treasury
he said. It would only s the pro
ceeds from the sale of lands in eacf
state for the benefit OF such state.
Mr.. Shafroth of Colorado also ar
gued for the adoption of the rule. Mr.
Newlands of Nevada also supported
the rule. The resolution then was
adopted without division. The house
resolved itself into committee Of thu
wohle, Mr.. Tawney of Minnesota in tn
chair, and entered upon consideration
Of the irrigation bill. 1t was arrang
ed that Mr.. Mondell of Wyoming
should control the time for the meas
ure, and Mr.. Ray of New York agains
