Sunday.

Chicago. August 1.-Quictude

oi three thousand strikers fought a
hand to hand battle near Forty-third

The receipts this morning were
heavy. being twenty-five thousand
cattle. thirty-eight thousand hogs.
and seventeen thousand sheep.
Washington. August 1.-President
Roosevelt has no intention of inter-

trouble spreads to other trades and
becomes general. or causes a meat
famine. so that the situation would
take on the aspect OF national dis

One Of the bravest deeds in Alpine
annals was performed a short time
ago on the mountain Paray de Tarde-
want in Haute Savoie. by Mile Mari
arne Delachenal. a French peasant girl
saved her lover, Joseph Robin. who
is of the same age as Marianne. from
certain death.
According to the Paris correspond
ents of the London Daily Chronicle,
the young couple were returning
home at sunset, driving their goats
before them alongside a strong cou-
loir, when Robin noticed that some
goats still remained near the summit.
In spite OF the e%ntreaties Of Marianne,
Robin took a short cut up the couloir,
instead of going around 1t. He had
reached a point half way up the cou-
loir when an avalanche Of stones rush.
ed down. sweeping him of his legs.
and hurrying him toward the preci.
pice. Mile. Delachenal for a moment
stood rooted to the spot with horror:
the next instant she ran into the mid
die OF the couloir right in the way OF
her lover in her arms. Both were car
ried downward. but the brave girl
managed to stop at the brink of the
abyss. over which the avalanche
Numbered. The young girl half-drag.
ged. half-carried her unconscious bur
den out of danger and. %hurrying to the
village, obtained help. Besides n
sever wound in the hand. Robin had
two ribs broken. and sustained other
internal injuries. 1t was only discov.
cred later that Marianne had also
been injured, having received some
nasty cuts on the arms. but they were
not serious.
