TELEGRAPH OFFICE CLOSED.
Outcome of the Long Strike of Mes
sengers at Butte.

BUTTE, Mont, April 24-Acting
upon instructions from Supt. McMi-
chael, at Minneapolis, Manager Wild
closed the local office of the Western
Union Telegraph company at midnight,
and announced that business through
the company's office In this city would
be entirely suspended until further
notice. This order. Manager Wild
says, applies to all lead wires leading
into Butte.
The trouble arises out of a strike Of
messenger boys, and the decision of
the company to close it's offices here
followed an unsuccessful attempt to
deliver it's messages yesterday. Men
were employed at $5 per day, but were
pelted with eggs and driven back to
the office. The telegraph officials COM
plain that the police protection given
their employees is wholly Inadequate.
The Western Union company in New
York today Issued a statement say
ing the messengers at Butte, who
are affiliated with labor organiza-
tions, demanded large increases of pay
and reduction of hours, which were
declined. The company might be call
ed upon for proportionate increase at
all other places if granted at Butte.
The office Will remain closed until the
authorities. afford full protection to all
the company's employees"

Union labor, though but recently es-
tablished in the city, Is rapidly max
ing place for itself. The clerks were
hrst to organize. In August last year
the mill workers organized large un-

union has come into existence. Car
penters, masons and others will no
doubt soon fall into line, and a general
allied trades union is talked of.

Portions of the Remains Of
Manager c. H. Durrin,
Clerk Fl. G. Colburn and
Cashier s. W. Mitchell Are
RecOvered-Three Still Re-
main and Are Probably
Consumed.

All the bodies, seven in number, of
the members of the office force of the
Northwestern Star Oil company, which
was wiped out Of existence by Thurs
days eXplosi 9n. have been recovered
from the terrible mass of debris that
Eemains as the only evidence of the an
Initiated plant.
Shortly after o'clock yesterday
afternoon the crew of firemen which
had been unloading the mass of debris
that buried the bodies of the victims,
recovered the remains of c. H, Dur
rim, the manager of the company, and
Harold c. Colburn. who was one of
the clerks in the office.
Both bodies were terribly burned,
only parts of the legs and arm remain
ing. Colburns body was recognized by
q gold watch which was found near
by. The watch stopped at ten minutes
past IL. Durrin's was also recognized
by the watch he carried. Both bodies
were taken to the morgue.
The other body recovered was that
OF >. w. Mitchell, who acted as cash
Ter of the company. All the bodies
were found in the ruins directly under
what was the office.
Three bodies. those of David Dacey,
John Spotanske and Joseph Laphond,
still remain under the ruins, and there
Is little hope of ever finding them as
they were in that portion of the build
ing where the flames ragged the fiercest
and have probably been wholly con-
Sumed.
One More Victim May Die.
All save one of the six employees of
She company who escaped with their
lives are at various hospitals in the
city and doing nicely. Walter Scott,
VINO was the most dangerously in
Dured, is at the city hospital Partial
paralysis of some of his organs has
bet in. and the attending physicians
consider his condition very critical.
All the others are on the rapid road
to recovery and will be about in a few
days.

The origin of the fire is still shroud-

remain thus. State Oil Inspector Fen
ton Warner, of st. Paul, visited the
scene of the catastrophe Yesterday
morning and took samples of the kero-
Sene and gasoline in the two tank cars
Which were being unloaded when the
explosion occurred. He has ordered a
rigid examination made. The accented

Red undermInes Tracks.

GRAND FORKS, N. D., April 24-One
of the worst cave-ins that has occurred
along the banks Of the Red river for many
years in this vicinity took place early
yesterday morning or late at night. About
forty feet of the bank slid into the river
just above the elevator on the spur Of
the Great Northern tracks below the n.
P. bridge in East Grand Forks. The
cave-in reached the middle of the side
track. and it was necessary to move the
tracks back for a distance of about ten
feet, and some apprehension is now felt
regarding the safety of the main track.

WOULD MARRY HIS NIECE.
Waterloo Young Man Is Put Under
Bond to Prevent Such Act.


WATERLOO, Iowa, April 24.-One
Of the queerest cases that has come to
recent notice was brought before JUS
tice Kern today. 1t was an instance
where young man was bound over to
keep the peace in $1,000 bonds to keep
him from marrying his niece.
The young man is Frank Clements,
and he is deferred from marrying Miss
Lille Clements. the daughter of his
brother. The information was sworn
out by the father and mother of the
young man.
The parties involved in this unnatu-
raj romance are very nearly of the
same age; that is, there is no great
discrepancy in their ages, and both are
old enough to assume the ma atrimonial
relation. For some time there has
been deep affection between the
young woman and the young man. but
1t was not until recently that it was
believed anything serious was intend
ed in their relations. The young man
was at first upheld by his parents and
they had affirmed that if the couple
could not marry here they could in
England. but when the relationship
was pointed out. they saw the injus-
uce of the proposed marriage and the
1llegaifty of it and the enormity such
a social offense would be against the
veal of the country. First cousins are
not forbidden marriage IN this state.

MILLERs WIN POINTS.
Decision of Interstate Commission Means
Reduction In Rates.

Several things have happened to the
advantage of the milling industry which
were the subject of considerable congrat
ulation around the Chamber of Commerce
yesterday The abolition of the British
war duty on grain and -four came as a
great surprise to the trade, and must have
a beneficial effect on the export trade.
Inc decision of the interstate commerce
commission to disallow the advance in
freight rates from Chicago to New York
Is the second point of advantage that the
millers have obtained, for it means re-
ductfon of 212 cents in the tariff, which

Added to this the railroads have decid-

put upon shipments from this point when
the roads were so greatly congested some
six weeks ago.

the past two days, exceeding 80, 900 bar
rels per day. although only thirteen mills
are running. and Mr. Bell stated yester-
day that If the conference in Chicago

ton was raised as to the manner of dis
posing Of the surplus and the committee
reported that it was the intention of all
the members in turning it into the
treasury OF the organization to have 1t

board which 1t was expected that the.
city council would create. With this end
in view q committee composed of Alfred

was appointed toarpear before the city
council and request the creation of q
park commission, whose duty it will be
to look after the park properly Of the
city and see to the proper beautifying of
the city in that respect.

and reported favorable on the proposition
Of the Minneapolis Commercial Club to
apply to the state legislature for an in
creased appropriation for the purpose OF
