feet deep. Trains are running from
Minneapolis to La Crosse and are
then sent back. The washout is the
worst in the history of the Burlington

NEGRO DIES OF FRIGHT.
Feared Mob Violence for Shooting
White Man. 81

Cincinnati, July 2a.-James Wilson,
colorcd, died of fright following an
exciting chase and his arrest for
shooting Charles Barlag, white man,
After the shooting Wilson was chased
over half mile by the police and
crowd of men who had witnessed the
shooting. He was exhausted from his
exertions and by the heat, but seemed
afraid of mob violence, continually ap-
pealing for help from the police, who
had to use force to save him. Physi-
clans reported that when brought to
the station Wilson'S condition was
normal and fright undoubtedly caused
death. One of the detectives who as
sisted in the arrest was overcome by
the heat but soon recovered. Barlag's
condition is said to be serious, but
not necessarily fatal.

THOUSANDS ARE IDLE

Steel Corporation Closes Company
Stores in Effort Of Forcing Men
Into Submission and Hunger May
Lead to Desperate Acts.
Duluth, July 23-Practically all Of
the mines Of the steel corporation on
the ranges are closed down as re-
suit either Of the strike of the dock
laborers in Duluth and Two Harbors
or of the men employed In the mines,
fully $4,000 men being idle. The only
violence reported as yet occurred at
Mountain Iron, where 500 strikers
congregated and, pouring oil over a
pile Of 5000 fence posts belonging to
the company, set fire to them.

laborers in Duluth met during the
morning and appointed committee
with power to arbitrate the differences
with the steel company officials

reports all quiet.
The superintendent of the ore docks
at Superior has asked for police pro-

Such move would, it is feared,
precipttate trouble.
Nearly all the mines have been
closed down, the company stores
closed and the men refused credit.
This shutting down of the stores, it
was thought, might starve the strikers
into submission and bring things to a
quick close
