in the Plateau valley had more
water than Hannah creek was pre-

nothing in the contention that Mesa

BLOOMINGKENIPE RELEASED
BUT ARRESTED AGAIN

This morning at ten O'Clock James
A. Bloomingkemper, charged with
stealing cattle from the Seiber ranch,
was dismissed on motion of the dep
uty district attorney when the case
was called for preliminary hearing.
Mr.. Bloomingkemper was Immediate
ly re-arrested by Sheriff Summer
vile. of Grand county, Utah, on a
charge similar to that made in the
warrant sworn out in this county.
1t seems that 1t has lately develop
ed the cattle which Bloomingkemper
is charged with stealing was taken in
Utah and not in Colorado, conse-
luently a change of warrants was
necessary.
Bloomingkemper refused to go to
Utah without requisi.ion papers and
is now in jail. The Grand county
sheriff returned home. Efforts will
probably be made by Bloomingkemp-
er's attorneys to get him released by
habeas corpus proceedings. Requisi-
tion papers have been requested.

MEXICO TELLS OF OUTBREAK.
Denies That Bloody Conflict Occurred
at Cananea.

Mexico City, June 4.-The govern
ment has advices from Cananea, state
of Sonora, to the effect that the strike
Of Mexican employees against the min
ing companies was at first perfectly
pacific. The protest was that the Mex
lean employees were unfairly treated
and that preference in pay and employ
ment was given to Americans. The
Mexican miners, it Is claimed, were
roughly repulsed and this action gave
rise to anger and the strikers set fire
to deposits of wood. The reports Of
armed conflicts between Americans
and Mexicans, in which IA men were
killed and wounded were unfounded.
The government has given orders to
General Luis Terres, commander Of
the military zone, and Governor Ysa-
bel, who are now probably on the scene
of the conflict, to concentrate the
forces and stamp out the rioting.
Word has been sent to arrest and duly
punish the guilty parties, and the gov
eminent will proceed with the utmost
vigor.

SEVENPERsONs KILLED and over
TWENTY INJURED.
Party Of Young Folks Were Returning

Park-Motorman Did Not Know the
Track and Allowed Car to Strike a
Curve at Full Speed.

Providence, R. l., June "A large
Is seated open car, chartered by pri-
vate party and returning to this city
from Crescent park, left the rails on
sharp curve in East Providence and
was overturned. Seven persons were
killed and 20 injured.

John Schneider, 10 years.
Ethel Whitley, 10 years.
The motorman in charge of the car,
w. j. Laughcher, was unfamiliar with
the road over which he was travelling
build.
Fog prevented a clear view of the
road ahead and the motorman, una
ware of the sharp curve below, allowed
the car to coast rapidly down the hill
Suddenly he felt the car swing into the
curve, and, realizing the peril, reversed
the current and applied the brakes.
Seven of the passengers were pin
toned beneath the car and instantly
killed.
Those who were able began the work
Of rescue. A large joist was utilized
as a lever, pile of stones forming a
fulcrum and the car was raised from
the ground just enough to permit the
escape of it's imprisoned passengers
Two persons had succeeded in escap
ing when the joist broke under the
weight Of the car and the heavy We
hicle fell back, killing two Of the in
jured.
The rescuers again raised the cal
! from the ground and by building pile
of heavy stone kept it in position while
the dead and injured were removed.
Two of those taken out, John GaviI
and George Atkinson, both of whom
had sustained fractured skulls, diet

In future no Jap will be allowed in the

The attorneys for the state in the
cases against Meyer, Haywood and Pet
Ftibone, accused of the murder Of Frank
Steunenberg, have filed a motion for
continuance. 1t is based on the federal
statute which, as construed by the SUI
preme court, prohibits a state from
taking further proceedings in case Of
this kind when an appeal from Unit
ed States circuit court in habeas cor
pus proceedings resting on claim that
defendant is restrained of his liberty
in violation of his constitutional rights,
is still pending in the United States
supreme court. The motion was grant
ed and proceedings are stayed.
1t was definitely decided by the at
torneys for the defense in the Meyer
Haywood and Pettibone case that they
will take no further steps. This an
nouncement has been made by G. S
barrow. The cases will not come tt

All Business Houses of Dublin Were
Closed.
The love and respect in which Mich
ael Davitt was held in Ireland and the
widespread sorrow over his death were
amply evidenced by the scenes in the
streets of Dublin Saturday, when the
body of the father of the land league"
was removed from the Clarendon
street chapel, where it had lain over
night, to Broadstone station for, con-
veyance to the graveyard at Strade,
County Mayo. The business establish
ments closed their shutters, the shades
were drawn in the private houses and
the streets were lined with enormous
crowds of people, the men respectfully
doffisg their hats as the coffin, which
was almost hidden by beautiful floral
wreaths, was borne by.
The funeral cortege. which was ex-
ceptionally large, included many ma
tionalist members of parliament and
clergymen, representatives Of every re-
ligion and poll .cal creed. John Red
mond, John Dillon and other members
of the Irish nationalist party, were
among the mourners who closely fol
lowed the hearse. While the process
sion stretched out to enormous proper
tions, anolner vast crowd awaited the
arrival of the body at the station, and
on all sides a feeling of deepest sor-
row was apparent among the people.
