MORE LABOR RIOTS
FEARED At WHEELING
Union and Nonunionists
Fight a Battle Without
Fatalities

Wheeling W. Va, Aug 17.-One Of
the greatest clashes between labor fac
tions in this vicinity that has occurred
in The annals of the city took place
between the striking machinists and
about 25 1fon-union men who took their
places in the Riverside plant of the
United States Steel Corporation. Des-
pite the fact that over 1000 shots were
fred in the clash. there were no fatali-
ties and only a few persons were
wounded The machinists have been
out on strike for several weeks, and
the situation was becoming desperate
for the corporation until they imported
about 20 men TO take the places OF the
strikers. The men have been assaulted
from time to time, but the situation
has not reached an alarming stage
heretofore The strikers congregated
about the hoarding-houses Of the non
unionists fully armed and began an
attack upon the places. The houses
were heavily barricaded, and many
volleys were fired into the structures.
Finally a won-directed shot from With
in the house wounded one of the strik-
ers. and he was carried to a hospital.
Clay Hoover. a spectator, was also shot
in the left knee, but not seriously. A
number of other people who We're in
the buildings with the non-unionists
received wounds. which we're dressed
by physicians. The police were power
less to interfere. and reinforcements
were requested. About 800 unionists
participated in the riot and a fresh

KEEP OUT INFECTED SHEEP

Because of the prevalence of scab
among the sheep of Wyoming and the
disregard given to the proclamation
of Governor Toole, State Veterinarian
knowles has decided to make recon-
nendation to the state beard CT sheep
commissioners for the appointment of
a patrol to guard the line dividing
Montana and Wyoming. He will adj
wise that a man be appointed who
shall spend his time on the state line
and prevent the introduction of bands
of Wyoming sheep. as he is satisfied
that only in this way car the trailing
of sheep between the two states be
prevented s
He has been led to the adoption Of
this idea by the fact that infected
sheep are brought from Wyoming in
to Montana, through Carbon and Vel
lowstone counties, D Notwithstanding
the proclamation of the governor pro-
hibiting it, except under certain con-
ditions. Upon his return to Helena
from this city last week Doctor
Knowles made a statement to one of
the newspapers of that place. He
said:
Conditions are bad in Wyoming.
Sheepmen have been shipping sheep
across the state line into Montana in
defiance of the governors proclama-
ton, and l shall recommend to the
sheep commissioners the placing of a
man on the Wyoming line, that he
may keep tab on the trailing of sheep
between the two states. There is lit
tie doubt that all the scab now in
Carbon and Yellowstone counties
came from the indiscriminate trail
ing of sheep for shearing.
"Scab is now very prevalent in Wyo-
ming. and this is particularly true
of Big Horn county, which is just
south of Carbon county, in vi state.
NV information is to the effect that
the officials are very lax in the en-
forcement of the sanitary laws, and
that health certificates are issued
without the slightest assurance that
the sheep are free from disease. OF
course, the health certificates would
have MO weight with us, inasmuch as
we are governed by our W regula-
tions, but it tends to show the care

Tendency Of the Times.

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventive measures. The
best thought of the world is being Civ
en- to the subject. 1t is easier and
better to prevent than to cure. 1t
has been fully demonstrated that
pneumonia, one of the most dangerous
diseases that medical men have to
contend with, can be prevented by the
use. of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
Pneumonia always results from a cold
or from an attack of influenza (grip),
and it has been observed that this
remedy has been used during the
great prevalence of colds and grip
in recent years, and can De relied up
on with implicit confidence. Pneu-
monia often results from a slight cold
when no danger is apprehended I'M
til it is suddenly discovered that
there is fever and difficulty in breath
ing and pains in the chest, then 1T Is
announced that the patient has pneu-
nonia. Be on the safe side and take

as the cold is contracted. 1t always
cures. For sale by all druggists.

AMMoN is NOW BANKRUPT.
Former Montana Mining Man Has
Filed a Petition in New York.

A -
Filed a Petition in New York.
Colonel" Robert A. Ammon of
New York City, who once cut quite
a figure in Fergus county as a mining
man, but met with failure and left
the state, filed a petition in bank
ruptcy in New York City last Tues
day. Ammon came into u%nenviable
notcriety in New York two years ago
as the attorney for William F.. Miller
who was at the head of a swindling
enterprise that finally landed the
latter in the penitentiary.
Ammon is remembered in Montana
by his sensational acts as a mining
operator at Gilt Edge, Fergus county,
says the Butte Inter Mountain. He
once had charge of the group of mines
known as the Gilt Edge, that subse-
quently became known as the Great
Northern Mining company and was
recently sold for a. large sum to a
syndicate headed by John w. Drake
Of Chicago. Ammon was always in
a peck of trouble on account of being
unable to meet his bills. Once, in
order to prevent the sheriff from at
taching some bullion, he made a. SEN
sational drive across Fergus county
pursued by the sheriff and deputies.
Anmon outwitted his pursuers and
crossed the county line in safety. The
affair was exploited in the western
press to the great delight of Ammon,
who was fond of newspaper ~notoriety.
Failing in his mining schemes he
went to New York and has since
been engaged in the law and broker
age business.

ANOTHER sHEARINe PLANT.
Miles City to Have Second Of These
Institutions.

1t is very apparent that machine
shearing has suddenly grown into
high favor with the sheepmen Of Gus
ter county and that the old way will
be but little employed by them this
season. 1t will be remembered that
some days ago The Gazette contained
an account of the intention of eastern
parties to erect n of those plants
within a few miles of Miles City, with
the probability of several more to be
built by the same men in the south
ern part of the county. The follow
ing, taken from the Yellowstone
Journal, would indicate that the men
from the east + not to have undis-
puted possession of the field. That
paper says:
Charles Stocker, of Stocker &
Hall, left today for the north side
with Surveyor Scheetz to look up a
suitable location for a shearing plant.
Mr.. StOcker expects to put in a plant
OF Alien macnlneS OF at least ~ IN
number, and more, if necessary. Pow
er sufficient for so machines will be
provided. Thus the indications are
at present that Miles City will have
two shearing plants in proximity his
summer. A great many woolmen
shear before lambing and it is believ-
ed to be Mr.. Suckers intention to get
his plant in in time to supply the
needs of such parties. There will be
undoubtedly work enough for both
plants, as the erection of the Vel
lo}wstone bridge will afford facilities
for crossing large bands OF sheep
quickly at no expense, so that the call
on the plants will come from both
sides of the river.

James Hogan, president of the Butte

recent very serious illness. This
comes as an agreeable surprise to
his numerous friends. Ten days ago
it was not believed he could Withstand
the severe attack of pneumonia which
brought him down to a bed of sick
ness. But he made a brave fight for
life, and now he is beyond all danger
from the dread disease.
For some days Mr.. Hogan has been
sitting up. He is able to partake freely

is such that he would have walked

vice of his physicians that probably
he had better remain indoors another

BRIDCER man HAS TROUBLE

Red Lodge, Mont, Feb. 3.-Fred
Clark of Bridger has been a much-ar-
rested man of late. Twice last week
he was in the hands of the law, and
word comes today that he has been
arrested twice more Last evening
he was taken into custody on a war
rant sworn out by Henry Struck of
Park City, charging Clark with grand
laceny. Judge Hyde set the defend
ants hearing for next Friday. Struck
accuses Clark of the theft of a horse.
Hardly had Clark left Justice
Hyde's court than he was again arrest
ed on a charge for which he will have
to answer to the United States. Sub
Agent Campbell of the Pryor agency
on the Grow reservation, appeared be-
fore United States Commissioner
Stone and swore to a complaint charg-
ing Clark with grand larceny COM
mitted ON the reservation, in stealing
a team of Indian ponies and a wagon.
Last week Clark's personal effects
were attached for a $27 board bill at
the Barlow hotel in Bridger. To the
surprise of all he paid the bill in
court.
:. At the same time it was found that
the till of A. F. Howard had been
tapped for just $27. AS a result Of
the coincidence of amounts, Clark
was arrested, charged with the theft,
but when given a jury trial he was
acquitted.

INDIANS NEED THE MONEY!.
Strong Argument Mr.. Dixon VIII
Place Before Congress.

CIdCS 0SJOCe congress-
BY way Of argument why congress
should pass the bill ratifying the
treaty made four years ago with the
Crows, Congressman-elect Dixon, upon
the occasion of his visit to Washing
ton, will recite the condition of the
Indians as a tribe at this time.
Evidence has accumulated for a
year or more past to show that the
Indians have not in recent years been
SO reduced in want as they are at the
present time. This evidence comes
from the Indians themselves, who are
better qualified to pass upon a matter
of this kind than are government Of
%ficials. It is a fact that reports have
from time to time been submitted to
the Indian bureau at Washington
making the claim that the Crows are
prosperous, but the contrary is known
to have existed on that reservation
for some time past and the Indians as
p" 100C ACoO1I nave IdhCA LL0 YuDllC
into their confidence and made a
statement of the real conditions of
the tribe.
VT is generally conceded that unless
congress takes favorable action on
the bill pending, which proposes the
sale of a large body of their lands,
thereby creating some ready cash for
the Crows, that the Indian department
will be obliged to provide means to
prevent starvation among members
of the tribe.
The real facts of the condition of
these Indians will be made known
to the authorities at Washington upon
the arrival there OF Mr.. Dixon. 1t
will be the most powerful argument
yet presented as a reason why con-
gress should pass the measure provid-
ing for the opening of the northern
part of the reservation.
