FALSE CRY WAKES

.e voir Burst,

Fort Collins Col, July 22.--Just
after IL o clock last night a horse
man was riding at great speed along
the Terry reservoir, one mile from
Fort Collins At every house he
paused long enough to shout the ter
rifying warning: "The lake has
broken its banks;5 the flood is almost
upon you.' 1899
~ In twenty minutes scores of fright
'ened families were struggling in the
darkness to save the more valuable
of household goods and get to high
ground. Women and children, clad
only In nightrobes, were screaming
for help, while men wearing rubber
boots and carrying lanterns were hur-
rying to and fro, Harvesting horses
and packing goods.
William O'Brian was one of the
earliest men aroused by the Paul Re
vere-like horseman. He hurried his
family ito a safe elevation and then
went to examine the break in the
reservoir bank. Soon there were a
score Of men to help him. After a
careful investigation no break was
found, and the only running water
was that escaping thru the regular
outlet from the lake. The unknown
horseman had mistaken the regular
outlet for break in the bank.
Scores of men who were on the
scene searched the remainder of the
night for the horseman, but he has
not yet been found.

st. Louis, July 22.-Mrs. George

kitchen window.
What he saw Mortified him. The
steak was on fire!
He hesitated but a second. Should
he first call the, fire department, or
notify the family Of the serious loss
that was impending? a
To take the time necessary to run
to a flrealarm box might be to leave
the beefsteak to it's fate; while on
the other hand, the steak might be
hopelessly lost before he could arouse
a member Of the family.
The stranger, having decided, acted.

dashed for the kitchen.
There the stranger, selling a long
kitchen fork, rushed bravely at the
burning steak, spitted it with the ex-

Washington, July 22.-Chairman
Cortelyou, following rule he has
made, today refused to discuss the re-
port telegraphed from Milwaukee that
he was to have a conference in Chi
cago with the chairman of the "stal-
wart'' and .'halfbreed' republican
committees of Wisconsin,, with view
to bringing about settlement of their
differences. 1t is learned from other
reliable sources, however, that no such
invitation was sent to Messrs. Connor
and !Goldin. 1t is said that Cortelyou
may have written a letter in which he
said that he would be pleased to see
any member Of either faction at any
time and that this must have been
construed as an invitation to a con-
ference
The republican leaders have not
considered the Wisconsin situation, ex-
cept in general way, for the reason
that nothing regarding the official ball
lot is settled. The question as to
which is the legal ticket will have to
be passed upon by the state supreme
court, and until that is done. things
will be allowed to remain as they are,
with the hope always in view how
ever, that something may turn up to
bring about a settlement of the fight
between the factions

vineland N. j., July 22.-Miss
Susan Fowler, the trousered octo-
genarian, apostle of the mystic thing
she calls New Thought" and Vine
lands oldest character, has her we'd
ding trousers ready and waits but
the seas to be made into a bride, as
coy and blushing as a girl of l6.
Vineland does not believe that
George P. Fowler, the Minnesota man
who arrived here a few weeks ago
and asked Miss Susan to marry him,
whittier he sailed after one evening
spent in his inamorata's modest abode.
Miss Fowler has an unshakable
faith in the promises of her AZ
year-old wooer. She regularly
works her little farm, looking after
her material welfare, but hour by hour
she expects her betrothed to return
and sconsummate that strange mar
riage Of minds, on which her heart has
become set.
Today, however. came a letter con-
tanning the news that Fowler had trip
ped over an obstruction and had
fallen down a long flight of stairs, adj
ding, II don't know whether I can
survive the injuries or not"
Miss Fowler said: II am panied at
the news, but delighted to get even a
line"
Serene in her confidence, she has
prepared her trousseau, and proudly
exhibits it to callers at her little home
on the outskirts Of the city.
Principally Pants. {
This trousseau consists Of a new
pair of pants, made by Miss Fowler's
own hand-for never has she consent
ed to be measured by a tailor. These
welding pants she has builded from a
pretty, brown material, which, by her
/ own statement, cost her six cents a
yard. -.
OF her wedding plans, Miss Fowler
has nothing determined. AS her mar
riage is to be of the minds only, she
does not deem religious or civil cere-
. mony necessary.
She sees no reason why her lover
may not walk into the house and.
I after some simple ceremony devised
/ by themselves. take up his residence
< there, for better or for worse.
DR.. Walkers Offer.
S Very soon after her engagement to
George P. Fowler was announced, Miss
Fowler received letter from DR..
Mary Walker, the other famous female
Z wearer of male attire. -..
DR.. Walker congratulated Miss
g Fowler on her engagement and ex-
tended a cordial invitation to her to
( have the wedding ceremony performed
in DR.. Mary's home. SO +. 80
: The two women, each with singu-
T lar but similar bent, have been friends
for many years, and Miss Fowler may
( yield to her friends persuasion and
be married at the Walker home.
. In her demeanor, Miss Fowler has
I not changed in the least since her en-
gagement was announced some weeks
ago. She Is still shy and modest

q talks of the marriage she certainly

on hand as a result Of the strike, the
plant could not operate to It's full ca
pacity, and hence the full crew could
not be re-employed; that the only dls-4
elimination shown was to give the
preference to old men known to nave
families.
!. SUPERINTENDENT Burns asserts that
the plant started this morning with
$3.50 men at work, and that only l5O
men struck later on, Witnesses, how
ever, stationed at the entrance to the
Swift plant counted 225 men who went
out. There are some 625 men still
at work, good share being union
men. 81
8 In some departments very few men
quit, notably the feed gang, where
none Of the men left. In the beef
house also, but few men went out. The
department most crippled is the hog
killing house, where nearly every man
walked out.
Feeling Is Tense.
President Willis says the old picket
line will be at once re-established and
maintained day and night as before,
but that only moral suasion will be
used. Many believe. however. that
the, strikers will again establish the
old blockade. as high feeling exists.
This morning strikers openly assert,
led that men in the beefhouse who at
tempted to return to work tomorrow
would never kill another bullock.
Superintendent Burns has not de-
cided whether he will keep the men
in the plant day and night. He says
this will depend upon whether the
blockade is again put in. effect and
on the temper of the strikers.
