Public opinion is aroused more than it

plosion. While commercial interests are
counseling forbearance, they admit the
situation is critical. All the mining
camps in the state are filing up with
members of the Western Federation of
Miners, and every one Of them, it is de-
clared, will take up arms if Adams
should ask them to.
In any event, all developments in the
situation are delayed by the attitude of
the supreme court. Before election the
supreme court, which is composed of
three judges, two of them friendly to
publicans the right to appoint represent
atires at certain polling places in the
city aud County Of Denver to watch the
Of the votes. The order enjoined
all persons from interfering with the Re
publican watchers.
Immediately after election the Repub-
Leans complained that their watchers
had been interfered with and asked ci-
tations of Democratic workers for con-
tempt. The supreme court thereupon
ordered the arrest of Democrats so com-
planned of. The number of election Off
Gals under arrest for contempt of court
is now tw%enty-seven. Confronted by this
situation, the Democrats attacked the SUI
preme courts jurisdiction in the case, de-
claring that the court had no power or
right to issue the ante-election order per-
hitting Republican watchers at the poll

BIG MANUFACTURING PLANT IN
CHICAGO DESTROYED.
Four Persons Killed Outright
Score OF Others Injured, and the
shock IN Felt for Blocks Around
One Man Was Hurled 100 Feet.

Twenty-Five gas tanks in the big rail
road gas charging station at Seventy
third Street and South Chicago Avenue,
Chicago, exploded Friday.
-Four employees were killed and a score
injured; two seriously. The tanks were
OF the style used in railroad ears for
lighting purposes.
All the men were buried under tons Of
iron, making it impossible to remove
their bodies for hours after.
The gas company supplies illumination
for railroad coaches. This illuminant
is forced into small r%etorts, which when
attached under the floor of n car will sup
ply it with light for months. In order
to make this possible the retorts are sub
jected to an extremely high pressure. Ii
was such q tank that caused the first ex-
plosion. While workmen and wreckage
filled the air, other retorts exploded in
such rapid succession that it was almost
impossible to distinguish the separate de-
donations. There were nine such ex-
blossoms in all, and these left the plant
in flames, which kept the fire department
busy for several hours.
Tn total loss to property is $4,000.
The fire spread among the property Of
the Peoples Gas Light and Coke Com
PAM and threatened to reach the large
storage tanks of that company.
Policemen were sent about for Il mile
radius warning persons to move from
the homes.
To prevent an explosion of gas in the
mammoth tanks the waste pipes were
opened and soon the tanks were discharg-
ing gas into the air. This was a dan
gerous undertaking, but prevented a larg-
er destruction of property. When the
danger of the larger tanks exploding had
been reduced TO q minimum, Chief Engi-
neer Eustace, with several assistants,

WRECK IN MICHIGAN.
Fatal Collision Occurs on the Perc
Marquette Railway.

According to a special from Detroit,
Mich, w passengers were killed and
nine or more passengers and trainmen
were injured in u rear-end collision Wed.

The dead are NJ. Simons, New York

The collision occurred at Elmdale
junction, two miles east Of Grand Rap
ids.
: Both trains were eastbound. The Sag
inaw train had preceded the Detroit
train out Of Grand Rapids by n few
minutes and was standing on a Y at
Elmdale, where the Saginaw division
branches off from the Detroit division.
Through some mistake the switch was
not turned behind the Saginaw train and

PLANTATION has been made as to where
the responsibility lies for the failure to
turn the switch behind the Saginaw
train.
Late Wednesday the mangled body of
a colored man was dug out of the wreck.
1t is supposed to be the body of the por-
ter of the parlor car, though it is so
badly mangled as to make Identification
extremely difficult.
The engine OF the Detroit train
p%loughed its way through One-third of
the length of the Saginaw parlor car.
Simons and Sterlitzsky were terribly
mangled, but most of the injured suffered
principally from scalds, the parior car
having been filled with escaping steam
from the introducing locomotive. The
fireman and engineer of the Detroit train
saved themselves by jumping when they
saw Il collision was inevitable.

WAS A ooo FIRE.
Anthony Candy Factory Completely
DESTROYED by Fire Last Night.

The Anthony Candy factory was COM
pleteiy destroyed by fire at Sioux Falls
Wednesday night, entailing n loss OF
between $4,000 and $4,000. The
fire was discovered a little before il
o'clock by a passerby who observed
smoke coming from the basement win
dows. The four walls are standing, but
the building is entirely Quilted. The dam
age to this building will be close to SS,-
600. The Anthony Candy Company esti-
mates the value of it's stock between S3O,-
600 and $4,000. The stock was a com
plete loss as was their office fixtures, as
well as the machinery in the candy fac
tory. Their loss is close to $4,000. The
insurance is only $4,000.
The fire was the worst that has visit
ed Sioux Falls since the Cataract Hotel
fire several years ago.
The cause of the fire is a complete
mystery. OF course there was fire
around the building but there were no
indications of fire at the time the force
quit work and left. Chief Mckeever is
confident that the fire started in the
basement, as that was the only point
where fire was visible when the depart
ment arrived.

WAS KILLED WHILE SLEEPING
Frank Hendrix Probably Murdered
at Tabor.

Facts which have come to light since
the fire at Tabor on Saturday morning
last seem to point comclusively to Il muir
der.
The body of Frank Hendrich, the un-
fortunate young man who was supposed.
to have been burned to death, SLOWS
marks of violence which indicate he was
killed while sleeping, and the building
set on fire to hide the crime.
When the body was taken from the
ruins it was noticed that while the arms
and legs were burned to a crisp, yet q
portion of the head and shoulders were
only slightly burned. The skull was bad
Iy crushed, showing violence which could
not have been done Il by human
agency.
Hendrich was known to be a sober
man and one who saved his money. He
was reported to have had several hun
dred dollars in q trunk in his room nj the
time of the fire. Robbery is thought TO
be the motive for the crime, with muir
der and arson to hide the traces.

The citizens of Mitchell take their de-
feat in the capital removal contest in a

proposition in order to remove it TO a
more accessible locality. They have had
the chance and still deem it wise to keep

ONE FARMERS GOOD RECORD
Raises 1000 Bushels of Grain
Without Hired Help.

One of the farmer kings of South Da-
kota is o. D.. Plumb, who owns a large
tract of land in the vicinity of Bruce,
Brookings County. He has just made
an accounting of what he raised during
the past season, and inds that his land
produced over II, 800 bushels of grain this
year. He had about 400 acres into crops.
Himself and sons did all the work Of
seeding and harvesting, and in addition
they have put up seventy-fye tons Of tim
othy hay for winter use.
Considering that he has not expended
a cent for hired help, Mr.. Plumb has
probably made the best record of any
farmer in the state as TO the value of
what was produced On his farm this
wear.
