THOUSANDS OF SHOTS FIRED
MILITIA AND UNION MINERS EN-
GAGE IN FATAL CONFLICT
AT .DUNNVILLE, COLO.

Cripple Creek, Colo, June 10.-Aftel
night of intense excitement, due tt
the battle between troops and strikers
at Dunnville, a small skirmiSh on Big
Bull hill and the wrecking of the Vic
tor Record Office, matters have quieted
down in this military district and it Is
generally believed the worst is nov
over.
A question may arise over the Dunn
vile battle between authorities, as il
was fought in Fremont county and the
body of John Carley, who was killed
was brought to Teller. Dunnville is
located fourteen miles south of Victor
short distance beyond the border OF
Teller county, which alone has been
decided by the governor to be III a
state of insurrection and rebellion.
Adjutant General Bells right to sen,
troops out of the territory which is
under martial law is disputed, but he
claims authority to do this under d
paragraph in the orders calling out
troops.
1t is considered remarkable that only
one man was killed in the Dunnville
battle. The contesting forces were
about 200 soldiers and deputies, un-
der personal command of General Bel,
and siXty-f1ve miners, who were Sc
creted behind rocks and trees in the
hills surrounding the new minlnss
camp. The attacking party left its
train and walked through marrow
canon into the open gulch where the
town of Dunnville is located and wa

twenty men were captured and four

RUSSIANS RESISTING JAPANESE

NO SERIOUS LAND ATTACK AS YET
OFFICIAL REPORT TO ST. PETERS.
BURG TELLS OF BOMBARD-
MENT BY WARSHIPS.

st. Petersburg, June 10.-A1l the re,
ports coming from unofficial sources
at the seat of war mention the per-
sistence of rumors of fighting on the
Kwantung peninsula and the war Office
does not question the probable truth
of these reports, as it is known the
Russians are doing all possible to i'm
pede the enemy's advance to positions
before the walls Of the fortress. At
the same time they insist that no as
Bault has yet been made on the fortress
proper, although the war Office advices
are to the effect that the Japanese
plans contemplated an early attack.
1t is considered likely that this fight
ing may have been of a quite serious
character.

A LIGHTHOUSE HELPER.
How the Appointment Was Made and
Why Il Was Revoked.

| ."'y - Go NSSSNSAs
Filed among the correspondence
of the lighthouse board at Wash
ington are two brief epistles, the
dates of which show that the first
was written about six months be-
fore the second. They look pre-
cisely like any ordinary business
correspondence. They were receiv.
ed in good faith by the board, and
no one, reading them casually,
would suspect what tale of domes-
tic woe hangs thereby. An in
spector, making his usual rounds,
discovered the facts.
An lrishman named McFadden
had charge of lighthouse near one
of the lake ports. He was a small
Wiry person of about ninety pounds
in weight. His wife more than
made up for anything that he lack
ed in size or muscle, for she was a
brawny, stalwart woman of 200
pounds. She was, moreover, the
possessor of a violent temper, and
there we're times when the timorous,
undersized lighthouse keeper did
not dare to call his soul his own.
His duties at the lighthouse were
somewhat arduous, so when Mrs.
McFadden happened to be in a
pleasant frame of mind she some
times helped her rather inefficient
partner with the lamps. She learn
ed one day that her husband was
entitled to an assistant of his own
choosing, and she suggested that
since she did the work she properly
was the person who should be ap-
pointed to draw the comfortable
salary. Mr.. McFadden, however,
promptly objected, saying that he
was certain that the board would
never give the position to a woman.
"Just send in the application"
she urged, "and tell them you're
wanting it for your relative, J. Nc
Fadden. Sure, they'll never know
whether it's for John or for Jane,
and I can do the work as well as
any man."
Mr.. McFadden reluctantly sent
in the application, and in due time
81. McFadden" was regularly ap-
pointed first assistant at the light
house. The prospect Of the salary
brought joy to the assistants heart,
and all went well for a time.
After awhile, however, Mrs. Nc
Fadden, always a trying person to
live with, became so independent
on the strength of her separate in
come that poor McFadden found
life with her entirely insupportable.
Affairs reached a climax one day
when the stalwart Jane/laid her su-
perior officer across her knee and in
the presence of visitors deliberately
spanked him with the hairbrush.
McFadden of course was unable
physically to retaliate, but mentally
ne proved fully equal to the occa-
sion. Retiring to the lighthouse
tower, where he was safe from in
trusion, he wrote the following let
ter:
To the Lighthouse Board
Gentlemen-I respectfully request that
my assistant, J. McFadden, be removed
for disobedience and insubordination.
Faithfully yours,
PATRICK MFADDEN.
As the lighthouse keeper had
been the judge of the fitness Of his
own assistant in the beginning, the
board saw no reason why he should
not now be proper judge of in
5ubordination, so his request was
granted outh's Companion.

KNOX is THEIR CHOICE
ATTORNEY GENERAL SELECTED
BY PENNSYLVANIA LEADERS
TO SUCCEED QUAY.
ACCEPTANCE OF OFFER EXPECTED

BEFORE RESIGNING HIS
SEAT IN CABINET.

Philadelphia, JuHA TO- - Attorney
General Knox joined Hepry C. Frick
here during the day and consulted the
Republican leaders regarding the
proposition to make him Mr.. Quay's
successor in the United States senate.
Later Mr.. Knox and Mr.. Frick went to
Washington. It is understood they go
to consult President Roosevelt as to
the advisability Of Mr. Knox resigning
the attorney generalship to become
senator.
Should the president advise against
such a course the belief prevails here
that Mr.. Knox will retain his cabinet
portfolio and that another Pittsburg
man. probably Francis l.. Robbins, will
be the choice of the leaders.
Former Attorney General Elkin,
William Flynn and Leader Bigelow of
Pittsburg were told of the agreement
which had been reached by the Repub-
lican leaders and all appeared to be
satisfied. Elkin and Bigelow were
told that Governor Pennypacker was
willing to appoint any man who was
selected by the Republican leaders.
Senator Penrose stated that no def
mite announcement would be made for
a day or two.
Washington, June lot is known
here that Attorney General Knox will
accept the appointment of senator to
succeed Mr.. Quay. He probably will
not resign as attorney general until
congress meets next December.

people spent the renaihdero OF the even
Ing in dancing. The receipts OF the
evenings entertainment added f58 to
the building fund, while In addition to
this some $40 were promised by sub
scriptions.
White Salmon people are Justly proud
of the new building. No finer one
can be found in the county. The dis
trict was bonded last spring for $500,
and by popular subscription this build
ing sum was increased to $500. The
carpenter work was done by contract
ors Everhart IL Rosegmut, and u must
be said that these gentlemen did fine
piece of work. 1t Is really remarkable
that so much was accomplished, and
such satisfactory results Obtained with
the limited amount Of fluids ut the
disposal of the directors.
To the tireless and unremitting
efforts Of Mr. Condor, member OF the
board of DIRECTORS, is due the thanks of
the community. Through him, posi-
