Killed BY Gasoline Fumes.

LEwIsTowN, May 24.-As a result
of inhaling gas which escaped from a
gasoline engine into the shanty where
they were sleeping, Arthur Wood, en-
ployed by the billings & Northern
railroad contr actors at Stanford, met
his death yesterday, and Everett Hall,
associated with Wood in opera ting
the engine, is in q serious condition
but is expected to recover. The house
where the fatality occurred Is near the
mouth of the tunnel, some distance
from Stanford, and contains the en-.
CINE. It was used by the men for a
bunk house, and they turned in some
time Wednesday night. As they did
not appear yesterday morning an in
vestigation was made. and Wood was
found lying near the engine dead.
Fortunately for Hall, his sleeping
place was close to the door, and he
had the benefit OF the ventilation which
undoubtedly saved his life. The gas
escaped through some defect in the
pipe or engine which has not yet been
ascertained.

government post mortem examin alton.
The packers notified the commission

During the latter part of last week,
thousands OF letters aud kilograms

them OF the action that had been taken
by the packers and advising them to

big markets controlled by the trust
until the difficulty 10 adjusted. This
is expected to cut the meat supply tire.

prices are expected to 60 up CORES

Commission men declare it Ia the in
tention Of the packers to enforce the
rule with regard to ''cow stuff" now
in the hope that similar action may be
taken later with reference to their pur-
chases of sheep and hogs.
"Cow stuff is a minor item in pack.

not mean much to the shippers and

The commission men contend,
though, that if the packers are al.

of livestock they will extend the rul-

this, commission men declare, practic.
ally would drive most of them out of

Some of the leading commission
firms and shippers have communicated
with the secretary of agriculture at
Washington with regard to the action
on the part Of the packers, and it is
said assurances have been given that
any attempt to delay payment on live
stock, as threatened by the packers
would result in the withdrawal of the
