Moline Tailor Killed.

Frank Miller, a tailor. who lived at
$500 Fourth avenue, Moline, was kill
ed last evening by a Rock Island
train i'll that city. Nothing is known
of the manner in which the accident
happened, for he was alone at the
time and was not discovered for some
time afterward.
1t was after dark that the police
were notified that man either drunk
or dead was lying beside the railway
track near the Barnard & Leas plant
on Twentieth street The ambulance
was sent and when it arrived it was
found that there were still signs of
life.
The wounded man was removed to
the City hospital, where he died
three hours afterward. His left foot
was crushed and there were several
serious wounds about the head. the
latter probably being the cause of
death.
Miller was past middle age and
leaves a wife and four children. He
was employed at August Schultz's
tailoring establishment. Coroner Eek
hart held an inquest over the remains
today.

FREMONT BUTTER TUB
COMPANY WILL RESUME

Robert Burns, of Chicago, treasur-
er of Sturges, Burns & Co, the firm
controlling the Fremont Butter Tub
company, the plant of which was so
seriously damaged by fire early Sat
urday morning, was in the city yes
terday and today to see what arrange
ments can be made to enable the com
pany to resume operations at an early
date.
A conference with the owners Of
the building was held and it was de-
cided to make the necessary repairs
as soon as possible. In the mean
time the plant will remain idle, it hav-
ing been decided not to attempt to
start in temporary quarters.
A closer examination of the build
ing shows that the damage was much
lighter than was at first thought and
it was estimated that it can be plac-
cd in good condition for about $4,000.

gagged in oiling one of the gates that
guard his crossing and was standing
squarely on the track. He did not see
the approaching train and he was not
seen by the engine crew till too late
to warn him.
When struck he was hurled to one
side of the track, escaping the wheels

accident and hurried to the side of
the unfortunate man, but he was
dead. having apparently been instant

The date of the funeral has not been
set.
Mr.. Gaffey was native of Ireland,
20 years of age and had been a resi-
dent of this city for the past 50 years.
His wife died several years ago and
he is survived by five children, John,
James, Patrick, Mary and Julia.
Mr.. Gaffey had an extensive ac-
quaintance among the older residents
of the city, by all of whom he was
highly esteemed. and to whom the
news of his tragic death will be a sad
! shock.

RepIns In Salnnn.

Shortly before the shooting Fineley
and c. ii. Goetzman, member of the
Moline reserves, were in Joe Decker's
saloon. The two became involved in
argument over the part the militia
plays in keeping the peace in time of
labor trouble.
Fineley denounced the militiamen,
while Goetzman contended that dur
ing strikes the main trouble is caused
by outsiders and that the demonstra
tions made in preserving the peace
are not usually made against the
members of the labor organizations.
Fineley was partly intoxicated and
became angry, finally going so far as
to reach for his gun. Goetzman re-
treated through side door and as he
did so Fineley fired at him. but miss
ed. Decker thereupOn ordered every
body out of his saloon.

Dies in Colville.

Colville.-Harry Miller, one Of the
most widely known mining men OF
the northwest, died at his home in

tuberculosis. Mr.. Miller was a ma
tive OF La Crosse, Wis, where he
was born September 16, 1859. He
moved to the Black Hills and en-
gagged in mining in 1879. He spent
ten years in that country and in 1889
came on to Montana, thence to Col
Vile. and has made his home here

In 1898 Mr.. Miller fitted out and
headed an expedition going overland

the next three or four years in pros
pecting the vast inland region, which
afterwards proved the greatest min.
ing camp in the world. His first win
Ter in the north was spent at Circle
City and afterward he made his
