With Forest Animal.
Hibbing, Mimi, May 2.-There was
an exciting race yesterday between
Great Northern ore train and a deer,
and q number OF wagers were laid by
the train crew on the result. The
deer popped out Of the woods about
midway between here and Swan Riv-

trotted along ahead of the train. The
engineer opened the throttle little
wider, but the deer put little more
ginger into its legs and kept ahea0
Then the throttle was thrown wide
open and the train shot forward with
greatly increased speed. Still the deer
managed to keep ahead for about 200
yards further. Finally, just as the re-
suit of the race was getting in doubt,
and the iron horse was slowly creep
ing upon its forest rival, the animal
turned on into the woods. 1t had won
a race of nearly two miles.

TROOPS FIRE ON THE MOB
TWENTY MEN INJURED, THREE
OF WHOM PROBABLY
WILL DIE.

Mount Carmel, Pa, May 2. - The
first serious collision in the anthracite
coal regions since mining was sus-
pended April /, occurred here yester-
day between a mob of idle mine work
ers and platoon of the new state
constabulary. 1t resulted in the in
iuring of probably twenty men, three
of whom likely will die. The police
were attacked by several hundred for
eigners, who became incensed at the
presence of the cOnstables. They
threw stones and otherwise endanger-
ed lives, and when the crowd had
swelled to thousands the constables
fired. The riot caused great excite
ment in many villages, but last night
the territory was comparatively quiet
State Troops Sent.
Yesterdays affair is the result OF
numerous attacks upon non-union men
last week. The attacks became sc
frequent that Sheriff Sharpless OF
Northumberland county appealed to
the state for help. Troop G, which
was marching from Reading to Halle
ton, was divided and half of the men
under Lieut.. Smith were sent here, ar
irving yesterday morning.
When the troopers started out to get
breakfast the dining room girls re-
fused to serve them at three hotels.
A crowd gathered and closed in on
the state police, throwing stones.
Troopers Charge Mob.
The troopers charged them and
scattered them, but not before several
men were hurt Lieut.. Smith drew
his men into line and threatened TO
shoot IL the mob renewed the attack.
Local leaders of the mine workers and
the chief burgess, who is member OF
the miners union, persuaded the
crowd to disperse, but as the troops
marched away, some one threw
stone which was followed by shower
of others. Lieut.. Smith wheeled his
men about, gave the order to fire, and,
it is said, sent three volleys into the
mob before it broke and ran.
Ordered to Hold Ground.
The troopers continued to the Sayre
colliery. Lieut.. Smith communicated
with state police headquarters at
Pottsville, and was ordered to hold his
ground until reinforcements arrived.
Local constables arrested Lieut.. Smith
on the charge of assault with intent to
kill. He was held in $500 bail, which
was furnished. Three foreigners were
also held on the same charge.

PUTS THE BLAME ON JEROME.
Grand Jury Reports No Action on In
surance Matters.


New York, May 2.-The grand jury
yesterday returned a presentment to
Recorder Golf in which it declared
that it had failed to investigate politi-
cal contributions by insurance officials
because District Attorney Jerome had
advised the jury not to do so. The
jury stated also that it had asked Mr..
Jerome for the evidence against the
insurance officials and that he had op-
posed action because he desired first
to secure an opinion from the appel
late division of the supreme court
whether such political contributions
constitute larceny. Such an opinion
Mr.. Jerome had told the jury would be
given early in May, and the cases then
could be taken up by special. grand
jury.
Commenting on the presentment,
Recorder Goff said that the jury acted
within it's authority, but that the dis
trict attorney should have submitted
the evidence.
