DIDN'T KNOW A MULE
Or They Never Would Have Thought TO
Find Him q Dead One, Which
He Wasn't.

Brazil, Ind, Nay 29.-Last Thurs
day week, after a terrific storm,
stream of water broke through into
Zellers & McClelan's coal mine, at
Cleveland, imprisoning six miner@
who were finally rescued. One mule
was in the mine at the time. Later
workmen went into the mine to find
the body of the animal and bring it
out Late in the night they came up
on it, and to their establishment, the
mule was alive, standing with it's head
just above the water, where it had
doubtless remained fer the last four
days.
No one can offer an explanation of
low the animal escaped death by
drowning or suffocation by gas. The
timbers near the animal used in sup
porting the roof Of the mine had been
gnawed away in it's hunger. When
the rescuing crowd arrived the mule
showed it's delight in many ways, al
though almost too weak to stand.

Saws That Labor Owns It All.
TRANSFERS BOUND TO STRIKE
One Thousand Out of 5000 Quit Work
but Are Ordered Back.

st. Louis, May 29.-The Transfers
Of the national and the international
unions who at a special meeting de-
cided to strike in sympathy with the
freight handlers, despite the counsels
and protests of their officials, have
gone out The strike,> however, was
not as unanimous as was anticipated.
There are 5000 teamsters in st. Louis,
but less than 1000 obeyed the strike
order.
During the afternoon j. b. FltZpat-
rick, organizer of the National Team
sters' union, arrived from Denver and
at once took steps to check the strike.
Fitzpatrick issued an order directing
all striking members of the union to
return to work by tomorrow unde pen
atty of expulsion from the union. He
declared the strike was unauthorized
and was without official sanction.
This order had the effect of causing
many strikers to resume work imme-
diately. But before Fitzpatrick's ar
rival the situation was not so serious

wholesale houses and railroads in han
ding freight.
About 200 railroad freight handlers
in East ST. Louis had gone out, and
upon learning of the transfers strike
about 100 more walked out. The
strikes delayed freight handling on
both side of the river, but nOn-union
men were employed and the railroads
and wholesale houses reported that
they were handling freight with com
paratively little delay before the day
was half gone.
Organizer Fitzpatrick stated that he
would make every effort to accom-
plish a speedy settlement of the pres
ent difficulties. The teamsters have
made no demands, but went out to en-
force the demands for increased ges
made by the freight handlers.
The settlement of the metal work
ers' strike. which some days ago put
1000 men out of work has been finally
effected, after long negotiations. The
men will receive an increase of III

TIDAL WAVES AT RACINE
Two of Them That Lift the Water More
Than Two Feet-Recession Leaves
Boats High and Dry.

Racine, Wis, May 29.-Two small
tidal waves are reported to have oc-
cured in the river here In the first
instance the water rose from two and
one-half feet to three freet, or almost
to the top of the docks, carrying YES
sells and small beats up with it, while
on the north side beach boats high and
dry were surrounded by water.
When the rise in water receded it
carried the boats twenty feet, and left
small craft hanging by lines. {. The
SECOND wave was probably two feet.
There was no damage. Each wave
occurred before daylight. The cause
is attributed to severe electrical
storms, accompanied by heavy rains.

CONSTITUTIONS BAD LUCK
She Loses Her Topmast on the First Leg
of a Triangular Race with the
Reliance.

New York, May 29.-The Constitu-
tien's hoodoo almost spoiled the race
of the trio of cup defenders in Long
Island sound. After sailing nine miles
of the first leg Of the race the Consti
tution's topmast was carried away in
a little puff of wind, and she was out
of it for the day. When the accident
occurred the Constitution was half a
mile behind the Reliance and was lead
ing the Columbia by an equal distance.
The Reliance and the Columbia fin
ished the race, but it had become a
procession, for the Columbia was new
er formidable after the first five miles
had been sailed. The Reliance crossed
the finish line winner by eight min
utes and twenty-seven seconds.
