Men and Three Women.
Brazil, Ind, Oct 3.-At a late hour
at night a closed carriage was hastily
driven to the woods belonging to Fred
erick Krump, south of here On arriv-
ing at dense clump of bushes four
men and three women got out Of the
vehicle and carrying a heavy bundle
wrapped in white cloth hurried into
the woods. The men were closely fol-
lowed by the three women, who car
ried. cans evidently filled with coal oil.
When a dry cluster of brush was
reached pile of sticks was
quickly heaped together, thoroughly
saturated with oil and the men placed
the object they were carrying on 1t
and set it on fire.
The flames lighted the woods for
some distance and three men watched
the movements of the party while the
object, which is supposed to have
been a human body, was being con-
sumed. The women seemed to be
weeping and it was some time after
the fire died out before the three on
lockers dared to go to the place, where
they found an accumulation of charred
bones. Professor A. c. Fishback. who
examined them, says they are human
bones.

Gompers Defends the Boycott-Mitchell
on the Mine Situation.
Washington, Oct 3.-Samuel Com
pers, president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, is out with an open
justification Of the boycott. In the
leading editorial of the October Fed
erationist, the official organ of union
labor, Iompers says: do the worst
elements in capitalism want a class
struggle In the United States? Is il
thsir purpose to convince labor that
they control the courts and can manip-
ulate the law at their will? The gen.
try who areinstigating judicial usurpa-
ton, who set at naught all law and
all precedent when their selfish inter-
ests for the moment require it, are
constantly prating about law and or
DER
In his defense of the "Weldon't pa
troEize'' LIST of the Federation, he
starts out: I'VE have right to choose
our tailor, grocer, butcher, shoemak-
CT, etc. We do not think any court
in the United States will deny these
propositions. We assert that
what each individual member of a
trade union may legally do, the un-

BIG OIL TRANSACTION
Involves $4,000. 1000 and May
Realize Some Dreams That
Were Wild Awhile Ago.
WILD, WEIRD WOODS STORY
Cremation OF Something in the For.
est at Night--Quaker Race
Suicide-Notes.

Marion, Ind, Oct. 3.-The American
Window Glass company, the American
Oil and Gas company and the Nation
al Oil company have closed deal with
Pittsburg investors for leases on about
10000 acres of oil and gas lands in
five counties in the Indiana oil field
The consideration is given at $1,000
700 cash. The new company announces
that it proposes to spend $1,OOO,O0O
In expanding the property and will
drill 300 wells within the next year.
The Pittsburg syndicate is composed
IF Hon. William Finn and his asso-
ciates in the Tri-State Gas company,
but none of them could be seen. The
general failure Of the Oil supply In
Pennsylvania and the falling of in the
West Virginia production is the rea-
son given for the making of the deal.
May Realize Some Wild Dreams.
This oil transaction is the sole topic
Of conversation in local oil circles
The deal is of greater Importance and
more far-reaching than at first re-
garded. There have been many wild
and weird stories published since the
Indiana oil field became reality. Oil
refinerfes for Indiana have been 10
Gated by the state and local press uu-
merous times. But If the present
transaction is interpreted anywhere
nearly correct by men who arefamiliar
with the situation, these idle dreams
may in the near future become a real
ity.
Standard Is Out of This.
One thing in connection with the
transaction which can be accepted as
fact is that none of the men interest
ed in the new company is in any way
connected with the Standard Oil COM
pany. Therefore, to the operators who
are familiar with the situation, it ap-
pears more than possible that the
Standard is to have competitor that
will prove troublesome. The Pure Oil
company is in the refining business,
and II it can place itself in position
to get possession Of the production to
enable it to fight the Standard war
will be the word.

the track, all section men are on the
watch, and night and day every foot
of the line Is guarded. A few days
ago a section man who was going over
the line ahead from Marysville train
found on the track near a bridge a
stick Of dynamite with a small fuse
attached. A day or two before there
was found ON the Butte-Logan cut off
a can containing what was supposed
to be nitro-glycerine. Early in the
week the largest find Of all was made,
when section men found at one end
against section man found at one end

dynamite, caps and fuse.
Men and Bloodhounds Working.
Tomorrow night is the date set by
the dynamiters for the payment by the
railroad company of the $4,000 de-
handed for immunity. As the rail-
road company has refused to pay it is
supposed that If the blackmailers
have not become scared-they will on
that night try to use some explosives.
If they do ii will not be many minutes
after the explosion before their trail
will be taken up by men and blood
hounds. The men are ready, an engine
and car are kept in the Helena yards
to respond to any call, and the blood
hounds have arrived from Lincoln,

fight between posse of citizens and
gang of supposed robbers one of the
latter was killed, one mortally and
four others seriously wounded. The
shooting was done with shotguns. 1t
was alleged that the gang Of six had
robbed a number of stores in the VI
cinity. The sheriff found the men in
box car, but instead of surrendering
peacefully they proceeded to hold up
the sheriff and his deputy and to re-
lieve them of their firearms. They
then took to the woods, followed by
posse of citizens which had quick
ly gathered, with the result stated
above. A quantity of dynamite and
railroad torpedoes was found in the car
in which they had been living.

It was stated that MT. Bailey, before withdrawing from the committee and suggesting MT. Clark as his successor, consulted individual members of the steering committee. The committee had Senator Clark in mind two years ago for the place and would have put him on the commit tee had there been vacancy.
 After the committee adjourned Sen ator German salo the committee had been indirectly informed that it is the policy of the republican senators not to fill the committee vacancies during the called session and that if this policy should be adhered to the democrats could do little in that direction.

New Orleans, March 7-Telamon's win in the Oakland handicap, worth $1Ss0 to the winner, strengthened the case against Buchanan, the jockey whose suspension was due to the horses poor showing. Lindsey rode him. and though he out classed his field, restrained him for the first half mile. sent him to the front on the stretch turn, and won out easily at the end. Coupled with Major Tenny, Tela- mon was a decided favorite in the betting. Red Dan, Thane and Arachue were the other winning favorites Jockey Lindsey was so badly hurt by Watkins Overton's fall in the sixth race that he was removed to the hospital in an unconscious and critical condition.
