charge of dynamite which had been
placed in drillhole in ledge Of rock
several days ago, and which defed at.
tempts to explode it at that time.
Today the workmen started to drill
the hole with no thought of the deadly
charge which it concealed. There were
eighty men in the excavation at the
time, but only few Of them were near
the loaded hole when the steel drill
plunged into sticks Of dynamite.
The sound Of the explosion brought
guests hurrying from the Waldorf AS,
toria hotel, almost directly across the
street from the scene Of the disaster
and from many similar places in the
vicinity. For a time there was wild
excitement in the neighborhood.
Jacob Metzger, superintendent fol
Post & McCord, contractors, and Frank
Anderson, superintendent for the

arrested soon after the accident on a
charge of criminal negligence.

chicago, Dec. I9.-EdWard s
Dreyer, imprisoned at Joliet since
1902, arrived in Chicago late last
night in company with his son. On
the day Dreyer arrived John R.
Walsh, whose opposition to the re-
suscitation of the National Bank of
Illinois, nine years ago, was the
immediate cause of Dreyer's down
fall, was by strange COINCIDENCE
the beneficiary of the mercy denied
to the bank Of Illinois.
Probably the happier man of the
two was Edward s. Dreyer, who,
after the solitude of the prison and
the degradation of stripes, was en-
braced by his wife and daughters
on his return to his West Side home.

Thespians Dodge Delegation.

The company arrived about 8 'clock.
A delegation from the Irish societies
was on hand at the station to induce
it to continue on it's way. Manager
Frank Calder Of the burlesquers, had
been appraised Of the threatening situa-
ton by local actors who boarded the
train several miles out of the city, and
he at once extinguished the lights in
the private car and, to avoid detection,
scattered the members of the company
thru the train. When the station was
reached, there was a rush for carriages
and the thespians reached the hotels
in safety.
AS means Of averting bloodshed,
warrants have been sworn out for the
arrest of the actors on the charge OF
creating a disturbance, and papers will
be served should an attempt be made
to give a performance. Manager Calder
declared the posters displayed are for
out his authority. He said they were
matter by Autograph house and were
unwittingly displayed at Butte. He will
hold conference with committee OF
the societies today and offer to give q
trial performance. It is not believed
the offer will be accepted, for the SO.
cieties declare they have been bur.
| lesqued to such an extent that they pro
! pose to make an example OF this ag
| gregation and drive it from Butte.
The situation is tense. Irish orators
at last nights gathering advised the
mob to gather again tonight, and if the
company attempts to give a perform
ance, to storm the theater and drive the
actors from the city.
