WILL NOW ARBITRATE.
Striking Weavers FirstWrecked
the Town of Armentieres.

Paris. Oct. 14.-A proposition to arbi-
trate the strike of linen weavers at
Armentieres has been submitted to a
referee.
After yesterdays riots the city Of
Armentieres appears as though sacked
by an army. The populace is still in a
state of terror.
Armentieres. North France, Oct IA
This town yesterday was given up to
riot, Dillage and incendiarism as a con-
sequence of the weavers' strike. Moth
ing foretold the disturbances about to
occur. but at noon the strikers not re-
ceiving answers to their demands from
the employers. broke out into the wild
est excuses. A mob of 5000 gathered
in the great square and urged the
troops stationed there to throw down
their arms, shouting: Down with pa
tIiotisn,:''
The rioters then spread through the
principal streets, breaking windows of
stores, dragging out the huge display
rolls of linen, which they stretched
across the streets with the object of inn
peding the advance of cavalry. They
wrecked shops, sacked the houses of
persons obnoxious to the ringleaders.
and attacked the banks, in two of
which they succeeded in stealing a few
hundred dollars from the tills.
One gang set fire to a large quantity
of linen in the cellars of Messrs. Bee
quarts factory. Others broke the win
dows of houses and threw inside burn
ing straw.
The troops, hamDered by the obstruc-
tions thrown in their way by the riot
ers, were for a long time unable to dis
perse the mob.
Finally a determined charge by lane
ers restored temporary order.
after dark the rioters tore up the
sewer gratings and paving stones and
stretched wires across the streets Wo-
men brought piles of empty bottles for
use as missiles. while boys swarmed
up the lamp posts and extinguished the
gas let's
In spite of the efforts of the soldiers
the rioters then proceeded to sack the
houses, dragging out the furniture, sat
urating it with petroleum and setting
fire to it in the street. Fire was put
to two houses belonging to the strik-
ers' employers, and one big factory
The local brigade being inadequate tC
cope with the conf1agration, an urgent
appeal was sent to the neighborine
town of Lille, whence a steam pump
and reinforcements of firemen were
sent.
BY midnight. however. the troops anc
police had gained the upper hand ant
dispersed the mob. The streets ara nov
deserted except for the armed patrols
The authorities are taking measures tt

MOB COULDN'T WAIT.
Man Sentenced to Death Is
Lynched at Hamilton, Mont.

Hamilton, Mont. Oct 1f-WaIter
jackson, the convicted murderer of
Fonnie Buck, a 6-year-old boz was ia
ken from the county Jail here late last
night by mob and lynched. Shortly
before midnight rs masked men, all
armed with weapons, forced their way
through the rear of the Jail and over
powered Jafler Stephens. Jackson plead
ed piteously for mercy but was rushed
out into the street where the mob had
already provided themselves with 4 rope.
This was thrown over an electric hight
pole and the moose placed about jack
sons neck. He was asked if he had
anything to say, but only pleaded for
mercy. The mob then pulled him into
the air after which they quietly dis
persed. Not shot was fired.
Thirty-fiye minutes after the lynch
ing, Jacksons body was cut down by
the sheriff and coroner and removed 10
the morgue.
The murder of little Fonnie Buck was
peculiarly atrocious one. When the
boys body was found it was horribly
mutilated- Suspicion pointed to jack
son and when he was arrested, lylAh-
ing was narrowly averted. His trial
quickly followed and a verdict was re-
turned within two hours. He was SEN
fenced to be hanged, but his attorneys
appealed to the supreme court. q.
