ATTACK NONUNIONISTS
STRIKING MINE WORKERS KILL
TWO AND lNJURE MANY AT
BUTLER JUNCTION, PA.
STICKS, STONES AND KNIVES USED
NEARLY ALL THE THIRTY MEN
IN THE PARTY ASSAULTED
SUSTAIN INJURIES.

Pittsburg, Aug. 17.-As the result
Of a fight at Butler Junction, Pa, be-
tween union and nonunfon miners
Stef Reaway, nonunionist, was ia
tally stabbed and John Mosely is
missing and is supposed to have been
killed. Twenty-Five others were more
or less seriously hurt.
About three weeks ago the mines OF
the Freeport Coal company were
changed from union to nonunion. At
that time an outbreak was appre-
hended and the sheriff and deputy
sheriffs were notified to be in read-
ness, but until now it did not pass the
stage of threats.
During the evening about thirty non
union miners assembled at Butler
Junction and were enjoying them
selves in a quiet way when they were
suddenly attacked by the men whom
they had supplanted at the mines.
The union miners were in superior
numbers and made short work of the
others. Sticks, stones and knives were
used as the attacking weapons, with
the result that nearly every one OF
the nonunion miners sustained some
kind of an injury. Finally the assail-
ants retired and 1t was found that Rea-
way had been fatally wounded and
Mosely was missing.
It was claimed by Mosely's COM
panions that he had been thrown into
the Allegheny river, after being beaten
into insensibility, but this lacks con-
armation.
1t was some time before the nonun-
ionists were able to notify the authori-
ties and as quickly as possible county

NEW JURY lMPANELED.
viii Continue Standard Oil lnvestiga-
ton at Chicago.

Will Continue Standard Oil lnvestiga-
tlon at Chicago.
Chicago, Aug. 17.-The special fed
eral grand jury, which is to continue
the investigation of the charge that
the Standard Oil company received re-
bates from the Lake Shore and Mich
igan Southern railroad and other
transportation lines, was impaneled
during the day by Judge Bethea of the
United States circuit court. The in
vestigation will follow the lines Of in
quiry begun in Chicago week ago
and which resulted in the return of an
indictment against the Standard Oil
company. The purpose of the second
special grand jury's investigation of
the case is to cover rebates alleged to
have been received by the Standard
Oil company since March 3, 1905,
when the Eastern division of the
Northern district of Illinois for the
federal judiciary was created.

MORE MONEY
IS NEEDED
SUBSCRIPTIONS TO HELP TIFF
COUNTY FAIR.
Merchants this Week Subscri ed
about $3.50, bnt rlore is Needed
The Farmers Who will be Bene.
fitted Should Help a Little.

Progress is still being made to make
this coming county fair a success.
The Board of Managers is hampered
however in their plans by lack Of
funds with which to improve the
grounds themselves.
This past week a subscription list
was taken around to the merchants in
town and about $4,000 was subscribed
to carry on the work. This is not
enough.
1t will cost about $3.50 90 at least to
get the race track in shape SO that
races can be held this fall. Then the
cost of fencing the grounds will be
about $4,000. 1t is planned to enclose
the grounds with 55'' or so" woven
wire fence which the local merchants
have agreed to sell for this purpose at
much less than cost.
A small building is also needed to
house the exhibits in, the probable
cost of which will be about $4,000.
Fer this sum a subs antial building
could be put up thai would be large
enough for all present needs and
W ich could be built on to from time
to time as the fair may grow.
The merchants cannot be expected
to put up all Of this money. The
farmers ought to have 8 part in it.
The fair is of more advantage to them
than to anyone else. It not only ad-
vertises their products to their neigh
bors and buyers, but also advertises
their land itself much better than any
other farming advertisement can do.
If each farmer in the county would
give something towards the fair
enough funds could be raised to make
the fair larger than any other.
1t is hoped that a good many will
respond to this call even tho they can
not give more than dollar, every
little bit helps and dollar each will
soon make large sum.
Anyone wishing to help the good
work can see Mr.. Beise the secretary
at his Office at any time.

M. L. TORPEY
Died from ApopIexy Last Week
Friday.

Morris again mourns the death of
one of it's oldest and most highly re-
spected citizens. M. L. Torpey was
stricken with apoplexy last Friday
morning. He never regained con-
seriousness and died the evening of
the same day. His health has not
been the best for some time, but
nevertheless, he has been able to be
about, and was down town the even
ing before he was stricken. He had
planned to spend this week renewing
old friendships among the comrades
that are gathered at the national en-
campment at Minneapolis.
His sudden death brought genera
sorrow to the people of Morris and
vicinity, and on Sunday, a large con-
course attended the funeral as final
tribute of friendship to the departed
friend.
The funeral service was held at the
home and was conducted by Rev. F.
"A
of Overton Post, G. A. r. acted as
pail bearers; G. K. Light, Richard
Northcott. r. J. Hall, Amos Pushor,
Christian Kline and T. II. Shocklev.
Martin L. Torpey was born in OS-
nabruck, Province of Ontario, Cana
da, June 14th, 1888. He removed to
r NJ
Y, when he was eighteen years old,
and divided his time between that
place and his old home in Canada
In 1856 he became resident of
Louisville, n. Y. In 1860 he became
natural;zed citizen and voted for
Abraham Lincoln. In August, 1852,
he enlisted in the 106th n. Y. Infan
try of Volunteers. He became in
valided in 1868 and was placed in the
Veteran Reserve Corps, with head
quarters at Alexandria, Va, and was
later appointed librarian, serving in
that capacity until the close of the
war.
In 1871, as q member of the St.
Lawrence county homestead colony,
he came to Minnesota with the inten-
ton of settling in Becker county, but
the colony became dispersed and Mr..
Torpey, r. J. Hall and Joseph Walker
came to this county and settled in the
town Of Morris. Stevens county was
organized that year, and Mr.. Torpey
was made the first county auditor.
He was also the first grain buyer
here.
During the sessions of the legisla-
ture in '76 and TT, Mr.. Torpey served
as enrolling clerk of the House. In
1880, he was appointed postmaster of
Morris and served for seven years.
In 'S7, he went to Tacoma for two
years, out returned at the end of that
time, and has since lived continuously
in Morris.
Mr.. Torpey was married on October
9th, 1861, at Louisville, N. Y, to Miss
Mary B. Miller. Miss Miller was an
only daughter. Her mother had died
in May of that year, and in June, her
father had raised company of the
92nd New York, of which he was cap
tain. To Mr.. and Mrs. Torpey was
born three childred, Agnes, Maude
and Levi. Levi died three years ago.
Mr.. Torpey has been identified with
the growth and development of Stew
ems county siuce the days of small be-
ginnings. During all that time he has
been recognized as man of integrity
and sterling worth. His circle of
friends was very large, among whom
he was respected, honored and loved.

NEW WATER RATES.
New Ordinance Puts r1inimum at 81
for 5000 Gallons.

The regular council meeting thi:
week was held on Thursday evening.
A number of matters in connection
with the sewer contract and bond
were taken up and adjusted, and the
formal contract will be executed and
bond furnished in a few days.
Mr.. S. Stewart appeared before the
council, and asked that the matter Of
the lighting contract be taken up some
time soon. He submitted many COM
parsons of rates in other cities to
show that the city's contract compar-
ed favorably with what other cities
are paying.
The water meter question was then
taken up and the committee submitted
a new ordinance, extending the time
for installing meters to Nov. 1st, per-
mitting the payment for meters at
one dollar per month for eleven
months and setting the following new
schedule of rates.
Section 8. On and after the 1st day
of November, 1906, the water rates of
water taxes shall be collected semi
annually, and shall fall due on the
1st day of September and March of
each year. The semi-annnal rate to
be charged for water measured and
registered by meters shall be as fol-
lows, viz:
Provided, however, that no con-
sumer shall pay less than two dollars
per term of six months in advance,
emitting the use of three thousand
gallons of water in said period.
For the first three thousand gallons
consumed, $500 for 5000 gals.
For an additional 5000 gallons or
fraction at $50 per 1000 gals, $3.50 for
5000 gals.
For an additional 5000 gallons, or
fraction at $.45 per 1000 gals, 1876 for
$4,000 gals.
For an additional $4,000 gallons or
fraction at $.35 per 1000 gals, $3.50
for $4,000 gals.
For an additional $4,000 gallons or
fraction at $.25 per 1000 gals, $21.75
for Sc, 900 gals.
All water consumed in each six
months, over sixty three thousand
gallons to be charged for at the rate
of twenty cents per thousand gallons.

HIGH PRICES
FOR CREAM
LOCAL CREAMERY GETS PREr1lU1
PRICES IN NEW YORK.
Farmers Who are Patronizing the
Local Creamery are Taking
Money--The Creamery VIII
lake this One of the Leading
Butter Counties of the State.

The farmerJ who are patronizing
the creamery these days are making
money very fast. There has not
oeen summer of such high prices for
some time. Evidently there is quite
a little speculating going on in the
eastern markets for the price has been
on the increase all summer and is now
at 221acents when the usual price for
this time of the year is from Is to IS
cents.
The local creamery is shipping out
and is not only sending out this bulk
but every bit of it is extra butter and
drawing premium prices on the New
York and Chicago markets.
Messrs. Hanson & Ackerman have
lately added lot of new machinery
to their equipment at the creamery
and have now a model up to date
creamery.
In this manner and with the large
patronage they are receiving they are
able to and will continue to pay the
highest price for cream consistent
with good business methods.
They still have little opposition
from local buyer but those who once
trade at the creamery never leave, Or
if they do it is but few days before
they are again back at the old stand.
It is gratifying to see that after such a
hard time of it as this creamery has
had that at last it is on the fair road
to make this county one of the lead
ing butter counties of the state.

A Reporters Task.

Last Saturday night the re-
porter of this paper had some
real experience in chasing down
the news of the wreck. No use
in asking a railroader for any
thing - they know nothing"
We had to ''but in, y but out, =
peep in, peep out, eaves-drop,
and do all kinds of chasing
stunts in order to get the facts
Of the wreck. Finally we learn
ed that two Chicago press repre-
sentatives were on the Chicago
Special. These two gentlemen
are expert news gatherers and
one of them had been in three
passenger train wrecks. From
them we got the whole story.
Their pleasure was in seeing that
what they had was turned over
to us. AT the telegraph Office
here direct connection was made
with the Chicago Tribune Office
and as the key was touched
here it so clicked in the busy
Office Of the Chicago Tribune
The report made to the Chicago
papers was in turn given by til,
local reporter here to the E
Paso Times, Dallas Morning
News and Denver News, thu
the readers of these papers OF
Sunday morning read an eyt
witness account of the wreck.
