FANATICS IN A FIGHT
THREE DoUKHoBoRS DEAD AND
ANOTHER FATALLY HURT IN
RELIGIOUS RIOT.

Winnipeg, Man., Oct. 27.-Word
was received here Monday Of terri
bic riot which took place in the Douk-
hobor colony to the north of Swan
Lake, in which three of these people
were killed and another so severely
injured that he is not expected to live.
Peter Veregin, the anti-Christ of
these people, went on visit to the
Yorkton colony last Friday, and before
he went he called his followers before
him, and while they lay PROSTATE, he
told them to follow his doctrine dur
ing his absence, and to pay no heed to
any so-called missionaries who might
visit them during his absence. For a
day all went we'll until a Methodist
minister, named Perkins, arrived at
the settlement on Saturday and tried
to preach the word of God to them.
The community divided itself, and
the skin, as they had done on several
previous occasions, and started to look
for Peter Veregin, their leader and
self-styled Christ. The other faction
tried to prevent them, and the men
interfered, and pitched battle en-
sued in which the contestants used
the first tools which came in their
hands. Wasyl Kyryk was almost cut
to pieces with a reap hook in the
hands of one of his fellows, and died
on the spot. Paul Selenko had his
skull split in two pieces with an ak in
the hands of one Of the opposing fac
ton. A hay fork was run through
the body of Jean Waskeskie, and he
died in an hour or so, and Andrew Bey
was so severely injured about the
head and body that he was not ex-

. TO SUCCEED HERBERT.
Sir Henry Durand Ambassador to the
United States.

OEIIe0 0tdIeS.
London, Oct. 26.-The Associated
Press is able to announce. the ap-
pointment Of Sir Henry Mortimer Du-
rand, the Brtish ambassador at Mad
rid, as British ambassador to the
United States, to succeed the late Sir
Michael Herbert. ..:t>. ~, +:
The Associated Press learns that
Sir Henry has frequently expressed a
great liking for Americans and a de-
sire to go to the United States. His
promotion comes more or less in the
ordinary course of diplomatic changes,
but one of the strongest recommends
tons which appealed to Foreign SEQ
rotary Lansdowne was Sir Henry's
reputation Of being an excellent law
yer. A similar qualification had much
to do with the late Lord Pauncefote's
selection.
The new ambassador will speedily
bid farewell to the Spanish court and
proceed to the United States.

Butte, Mont, Oct. GAS a result
Of the handing down Of decisions
Thursday by District Judge Clancy
awarding the Minnie Healey mine, one
of the richest properties in Butte and
valued at $10,000,000, to F. Augustus
Heinze and then granting an in5tlnc-
ton against the Boston and Montana
company, the principal property of the
Amalgamated Copper company in Mon
tana, all the properties of the Anal
gamated Copper company in Montana
were last night ordered closed for an
indefinite period.
At least $4,000 men will be idle and
probably 10000.
The shutdown is the most complete
and extensive ever known in Montana.
The effects of the shutdown will be
felt in all parts of Montana, as there
is hardly a county that the Anaconda
company does not operate in, in one
way or another. Woodchoppers and
lumbermen will be idle and coal
miners will be out of work in half
dozen counties. Much excitement ex-
lists in Butte and the town is tnronged
with idle miners, blocking the street
corners, discussing the situation.
Body Blow to Business Activity.
Business men of Great Falls are
already urging that the case of the
Amalgamated company may be speed
lily brought before the supreme court
for consideration, as the closing of
the electrolytic shelters means a
body blow to the business activity of
Great Falls.
Throughout the state generally a
state of depression is reflected, and in
Butte business is practically para
lyzed with fear of crash in the
event Of a prolonged close down.

UNDER TONS OF ROCK

Set of and the Men Were Advane-
ing to Remove the Loose Earth.
New York, Oct. 26.-Ten lives were
lost by the cave-in of the roof and
walls of the subway tunnel at One
Hundred and Ninety.f1fth street Satur-
day night and four persons were bad
~ injured. All of the dead and in.
jured were workmen, and most Of
them Italians. Following is the list
Of dead: Timothy Sullivan, William
Schuette, Giuseppe Barone, Stan
zione Bruno, Louis Tippio and five un-
identified Italian laboreeccs.
The accident was t1e most d1sas-
trous that has occurred in the con-
struction of the subway. At that
point where the cave-in occurred a
gang of twenty men were at work In
the tunnel, which is about 10 feet
below the surface.
Rufus c. Hunt, general superintend.
ent of the tunnel work, said that two
converging seams had appeared In
the roof of the tunnel during the
work on Saturday. The presence OF
these seams, however, was not be-
lieved to indicate any more dangerous
character of the rock than had pre-
viously been encountered, although it
was thought necessary to prop the
roof with a number Of upright timber
braces.
Blasts Loosened the Rock.
The tunnel was being bored by open
Ing a perpendicular embrasure in the
face of the bore and blasting the sides
to the right and left of this embrasure.
Three blasts were arranged by the
drillers, the holes being charged well
toward the roof. The drillers then
withdrew and the three blasts were
set off in rapid succession by electric
ity, loosening large quantities OF earth
and rock.
The drillers say that about ten min
utes elapsed to allow the smoke to
clear away before Timothy Sullivan,
the foreman, and Electrician Schuette
advanced, the latter intending to string
wires and hang electric lamps to light
the way. They were followed by six
teen workmen. The vanguard of the
gang had reached the broken stone
when a rumbling sound was heard.
It grew in volume with lightning-like
rapidity. Those in the rear had just
time to turn about and run when, with
deafening crash, hundreds of tons
Of rock fell on the men at the face OF
the boring.
Coroner Jackson said he believed
the accident was caused by criminal
negligence.

Improbable Sale Of Sheep BY Tom
Schiabera.

~F NE.#-E NW 1
Tom Schlaberg, we'll known here and
in the Musselshell region, is trying
to figure out how he can recompense
himself for the loss of a band OF sheep
that passed from his possession into
that of John Pickett, a rancher to the
north, sometime ago. The transfer
was made in a regular and ordinary.
manner, having been the result OF a
sale of the sheep by Schleberg to
Pickett, but the outcome was entirely
different from that the seller looked
for.
The sheep were sold for $4,000 to
Pickett, who paid 5000 in cash and
gave a chattel mortgage or the sheep
for the balance, the amout still owing
to be paid within a stipulated time.
Before that time arrived it seems Pick
EFT removed the sheep and sold them
to a man named Westcott, a resident
of Park county, for $4,000. He received
the full amount of the purchase money
which was paid to him at Livingston.
From that place Pickett forwarded a
few hundred dollars to parties in this
city to whom he was indebted for sup
plies, and, according to reports, pro
ceeded to have a good time on what re
NAMED. In this he evidently succeed
ed beyond all expectation. for the story
has it that he returned a few days age
absolutely penniless, having spent ev

Westcott and borrowed SIS from {
