ZION TOILERS IN HUTS

DOwie AstOnishes Receiver
by His Tricks.
COURT AIDS THE HUNGRY
Decision to Accept Trade Checks
Temporarily Relieves
Conditions

ZION CITY, H., Dec. 4-DisciDles of
"Elijah III" freezing; Dowie appearing
mysteriously in the administration build
ing, when he was presumed TO be in his
home. and when men were watching the
path over which he would be obliged to
travel; trade checks to be received at
the general store, and the prophets
financial condition not so bad as it was
at first thought to be-these were the
DEVELOPMENTS Of the second. day of the
receivers administration in Zion city.
The suffering Of citizens, who live in
tents. in dugouts. and in the crudest,
himsies. kind of frame shanties has ap-
pealed powerfully TO the receiver. Eff
forts will undoubtedly be made immed-
lately to protect them from the cold of
a northern winter.
No Smoke From Chimney.
The fuel supply has in many cases
been exhausted. From the chimneys of
many .dugouts and cabins no smoke rose
today The tents, the sod houses. and
the fimsy frame shacks afford almost
no protection against cold winds which
are sweeping a cross the exposed prairie
on which this city is built.
It is the custom Of persons who live in
these shacks to keep their little stores
OF fuel just outside the door. Seldom IS
more than half a ton of coal or half n
cord OF wood 10 be seen in these fuel
yards but today there are many yards
in which no wood and no coal could be
seen.
Dowie Is Mysterious.
Dowies mysterious appearance at
places where conferences were to be
hello. sudden and unexpected, has some
thing OF the uncanny about it. Paul
Redieski. the receiver. was at first
amazed and a trifie shocked. There is
nothing, however. about the short. fat
mans liberal measure Of avoirdupois 10
indicate attributes of a ghostly nature
and Mr. Rediesld has concluded that
Dowie has a tunnel from his home to the
administration Offices. secret doors or
panels in both buildings. and that when
ne goes from one TO the otae: he travels
through tie underground passage in
stead or through the streets.
Trade Checks Accepted"
Judge Kohlsaats order to the receiver
10 accept trade checks at his discre-
tion has afforded great relief to citizens
here Many families were without food
and money. Their only resources were
the bits of paper which were evidence
that wages were due. and which have
heretofore been used iE lieu OF money
These pieces Of paper were presented
Al the general store yesterday. and the
receiver declined TO accept them MANY
OF the holders returned 10 homes which
were bare Of food. and went to be-
hungry az well as cold This morning
many persons went to work in the lace
factories without breakfast Weak from
hunger. they worked on. cheerful. hope

find n way 10 provide for them.
The condition was reported 70 Judg,

sufferers were overJoyed when the news
was carried TO them. and they rushed 4

FIRE SEALS doom.
No Hope Now for Men Entombed In Wy
Wyoming MIne.s

Hanna, WYo., July 3.-Fire has
added to the horror Of the mining dis
aster here, and hope for rescuing the 26
entombed miners has been abandoned.
The startling statement was made to-
night by an experienced miner and fire
fighter who penetrated the mine to the
10th level that the workings below the
18th level are mass OF flames, and
where few hours ago it was believed
the reecuers would reach the bodies OF
the entombed miners not later than to-
morrow noon, it now appears the vic
Tins will be burned. The efforts OF
those working below the surface are
now confined to the work of walling up
the entries and slope, and putting up
fireporof barriers which will prevent
the flames from reaching the 18th and
other levels ahove. This is taKen as
an indication that the reacuers realize
the fruitlessness Of further attempts to
reach the entombed miners below the
18th level.
Added to the horrors of the FIRE,
which will doubtless destroy the un.
derground workings, is the danger Of
another explosion, which may occur at
any time. The situation is decidedly
grave, and the citizens are becoming
alarmed for the safety of those who are
working below the surface, and also
those engaged in hauling away the de-
bris from the mouth OF the slope. III
the entries in which th ) fire is burning
can be successfully walled and the fire
confined to few entries, there will be
little to fear, but there is great danger
Of the flames breaking through into the
entries from which the rescuers are
moving rocks and debris in an effort to
reach the two score or more bodies
known to be in No. IL entry. Here the
gas has accumulated In such large
quantities that the rescuers cannot re-
main long at time.

Strike Conditions are Now Much Worse

Vancouver, B. c., July AFTER all

The miners are more bitter than eyei
against Mr.. Dunsmuir, and trouble il
the order of the day. The first say ge
assault that has marked the strike las
occurred. Daniel Alexander, an Ital-
ian miner, who voted to 60 to work
when the matter was under discussion.
was frightfully maltreated by two 9th
er Italians, who set upon him at 4
O'Clock in the morning. The two at
tackled Alexander with hands, teeth
and feet, and he was q sorry sight
when they got through.
The disagreement among the men
over whether to return to work or not
showing in other forms. one of which
led to the resignation Of Smauel Mot
tishaw, secretary of the local miners
union. 1t is stated that Mottlshaw,
who was active in the strike, found
the opposition so bitter that, rather
than be mixed up in it any longer, be
resigned, and Frederick James was
given the Office.
There is little doubt that the two fac.
tions among the men-the lea3ers Of
those who want to go to work and
those who want to stay out longer-are
very hostile towards one another,
More anger and recrimination hal
been caused because one side has de.
clared that q registered letter from ths
representative who was sent to tht
Western Federation of Minesr' conven
tion has disappeared. This lettel
gave gloomy report of federation
affairs, but was never read to the Lady
smith union, and the men want Il
know why. Then, again, the Social
lists have taken hand in the struggl,
and some of the men look upon this in
reference as meddlesome and not like
ly to advance their cause.
