TWENTY-SEVEN At WORK IN
QUARRY WHEN THE ACCl.
DENT HAPPENS.
WARNING IS misunderstood
MOURNING AND ANGUISH OF THE
RELATIVES OF VICTIMS IS
PiTiABLE.

Allentown, Pa, Aug. 18.-A mass of
limestone, weighing thousands Of
tons, slid from a side of the quarry of
Mill A of the Lehigh Portland Cement
company at Ormrod at noon yester-
day, just five minutes before time to
quit work. Twenty-seven men were
at work in the quarry, which is thou.
sand feet long, $50 feet across and 100
feet deep. The heavy rains of the
last two days had softened the earth
and caused slide of rock. Where the
fallen mass slipped away smooth.
nearly perpendicular wall was left,
rising sheer 100 feet above the bottom
of the quarry, while the entire quarry
floor was covered with broken, jagged
rock. Only nine of the men got away
safe, four of whom escaped by run
ming up on a mass of rock at the oppo-
site side Of the quarry. The remain
ing eighteen were huddled in a space
ten feet square.
Twelve Were Killed
and six injured. Two of the latter
may die All of the men are Slavon-
ians who lived in shanties close to
the quarry.
Two men who saw the side of the
quarry culver shouted a warning to
the men. The men misinterpreted the
calls and failed to move out of the
zone of danger until it was too late.
With thunderous roar the mountain
of rock fell, pinning the men fast.
All the men from the company's
five neighboring quarries set to work
at once to extricate the unfortunates,
and at $3.50 got out the last live man.
Eight bodies were recovered before
dark, at which time two more were ex-
posed to view and two others buried
deep in the pit.
Most of the men killed or injured
are single. Others had families in the
old country. A number of women
from the foreign colony ran to the
quarry when the news of the accident
reached them, and their moaning and
anguish was pitiable.

BRIDES OPEN JAIL?
Federal inspectors Believe Postoffice
Robbers Buy Their Liberty.

Chicago, Aug. 19.-Chicago is the
rendezvous, it is believed, of an or
ganized gang Of postofice burglars, so
organized that when any member of
the gang is incarcerated the others
spare no money or time in their effort
to effect a release. This organization,
1t is supposed, showed it's strength
within the last few weeks in the es-
cape of the two men held at the La
Crosse county Jail. Postoftice Inspect
or James E. Stuart has detailed men
to work in Chicago on the case and he
declared that he will work night and
day until he rounds up" the gang.
Work is directed toward the arrest Of
Eddie Fay, one Of the most widely
known postoffice robbers in the Uni
ted States. Money, it is said, is the
most powerful ally of the gang, and it
was with the promiscuous use of this
that the men were delivered from the
Wisconsin Jail, the inspector believes.

MONTANA NEWS
MONTANA STRIPPED OF WOOL

Only One Lot Of Size Unsold in the
State.
Wool buying for the season Of 1905
is thing of the past. The last clip
has been sold and most of the buyers
have departed. The last purchase was
made few days ago by Joe Wing,
member Of the firm Of Dewey, Gould
& Co., who bought the DR.. Sudduth
clip, which had been put up once be-
fore when bid of % IL cents was
refused. Mr.. Wing paid little over
% cents.
Mr.. Wing also purchased the re
naming clips held by Fraser Bros. of
Billings, amounting to about 100000
pounds. 1t is said the price paid for
this wool was "a cents. A few days
before the Frasers sold 100000 pounds
of their Montana holdings to Godfrey,
representing Francis Wiley & Co. Of
Boston, for "a IL cents.
The advent of Fraser Bros. in the
Billings wool buying field has been
year or two ago they commenced buy
ing for firm in Boston, and made a
good record as successful purchasers.
This year they seemed to anticipate
every phase of the rising market, and
early in the season went into WyOm-
ing and bought heavily in their own
name This wool was held for COM
paratively short time and then sold at
a good profit.
After selling their Wyoming woOl
they Immediately began the purchase
on a large scale of the Montana prod
uct Eastern wool men who have
been here the entire season estimate
that the Fraser Bros. have handled
nearly 100000 pounds of wool this
season, for which they have paid out
in the neighbOrhood of $1,0O0.O0O. The
same outside buyers estimate the
profits that the Fraser boys have
made at from $4,000 to 100000.
The buyers say that only one clip
of any size remains unsold in the
state, that being at Glendive. They
do not believe there will be any ad-
vance contracting whatever done next
year, producers realizing that they
can do much better by holding their
product for the regular sales, as they
have done in former years, thus per-
uniting the buyers to come into open
competition in the auction market.
On the other hand the Fraser Bros.
who have been the largest as we'll as
the earliest of the contract buyers,
scout the idea of there being no early
market, and hint that next year, as
this, the grower will sell just as early
as he gets the price for which he
holds out.
