COAL DEALER RUNS AMuck
His "Form Pied" When He
Encounters Old Pressmen.

Breckenridge, Colo.-County Judge
]. w. Swisher was the victim of VIC
ious assault in his chamber by
Thomas B. Thompson, distributor for
the Rocky Mountain Fuel Company,
who used the official seal of the court
to beat the judge over the head. He
struck him repeatedly with the wea-
pom, and Judge Swisher, besides Sc
we're bruises, has cash over the left
temple that bled so profusely as to
cover the floor with blood.
After disabling the judge Thompson
locked horns with white haired Col
onel j. r. Oliver, who many years ago
was pressman in Denver when the
papers came out on hand presses. In
those days Oliver was called the
strongest man in the territory and was
nicknamcd Sampson" Thompson is
very burly and active man in the
prime of life, but he was glad to have
someone hold him after Oliver seized
him.
Thompson rushed to the police judge
and pleaded guilty to assault and bat
terry, possibly thinking to get off cas-
lily, but was fined 500 and costs. He
paid the fine and then wanted to ap-
peal the case, but was told there was
no appeal when the defendant volun-
tairly pleaded guilty to charge made
by himself. He then sworc out war
rant for Judge Swisher, Colonel Oliver,
Sam Swisher and A. l.. Wood, who was
not present at the fracas, charging
them with insulting him. Owing to
the absence of District Judge Hogan,
the police judge ordered the case set
for hearing June 10th.
A warrant has been sworn out by
Judge Swisher charging Thompson
with assaulting him with a deadly
weapon and Thompson has been
placed under a bond of $500 for his
appearance.
The disturbance arose over a column
article in the Breckenridge Bulletin,
owned by Swisher, which excoriated
the local coal dealers, who are T. B.
Thompson and c. A. Finding. Finding
is the man who for weeks lodged H.
c. Clay whose wife he was charged
with leading astray. He had Denver
detectives protecting him, as Clav was
supposed to be hunting him with a
gun.
For many weeks the coal trust here
has had no ccal to supply customers,
even at the exorbitant rate of Sc. rs
and 81 ton. Coal was formerly $3.50
ton here in car lots, and the Bulletin
has written up the trust every chance
it has had for it's predatory methods
of business.

nasty In China.
Revolt broke out on May 22d, when
when rejeIs killed the military and
civil authorities at Wong Kong, but the
news did not reach the world until this
week.
Three provinces are now in active re-
volt.
Battle raging between the rebels and
Imperial troops near Swatow.
Chang Chow, one of the important
cities of China, is also threatened with
attack.
Estimates place total number of reb-
eIs at from $4,000 to 100000.
The rebels aim to overthrow the
Manchu dynasty, which is said to be
seriously threatened.
Rebels are killing every official cap
tured.
Annoy, China.-A great battle be-
tween the imperial troops and rebels
is reported in progress near Swatow.
Thousands of men are engaged. No
word has been received l.ere as to
which side has the best of the fighting.
While the movements Of the rebel
and imperial armies are not definitely
known, it is believed the soldiers were
| able to overhaul the revoluticnists in
the race for Swatow. 1t is hoped the
troops will be able to prevent the reb-
| els from capturing the seaport, but II
| is admitted by the authorities that the
issue is in doubt.
Fighting in the recent battle. while
| not long continued, was OF the Tiercest
| character. In very short engage
ment nearly 900 men fell. The rebels
were heaviest losers in the fight and
quickly retired. 1t is believed only
their advance guard was engaged and
that with the arrival of reinforcements
| the struggle for the possession Of
Swatow was resumed.
| That the rebels in the neighborhood
OF Swotow far outnumber the troops
| ia well known. Reports are that as
many as 10000 armed men are in the
rebel army. 1t is doubtful if the inn
| perial forces number over 1000 men.
| The soldiers, of course, have the ad-
vantages of training and discipline and
superior arms, but it is known that
| many former army officers are with
| the rebels, and they have been able
! to bring the rebel forces to a higher
state of efficiency than usually obtains
| among revolutionists.
| Throughout China the situation 10
much worse, and every dispatch says
| the revolt is spreading. Another rebel
army was reported near Chang Chow,
threatening to attack that city, one Of
the largest in Fokien province. Ties
provinces are now affected by the re
volt, and agitators have been dis
patched into other provinces to arouse
the natives. II Swatow falls into the
hands of the revolutionists it will give
great impetus to the revolutionary
movement dtsigned to overthrow the
Manchu dynasty.

NEW YORK. June s13.-The dullness OF
the stock market became extreme today
and reached stage of absolute stagna-
ton in the afternoon. Dealings were lit

day. Even the professional traders de-
sisted from their futile efforts to effect
any movement of prices. The conviction
is growing that special care VIII be re-
quired to meet the July l requirements

weakness in the London copper was a
feature in this market today, helping to
keep the copper industrials heavy IN tone.
Two small failures in the conclusion Of
the London stock market settlement and
a failure on the Philadelphia stock sex-
change with some sensational features
helped 10 deaden the interest iii stocks.
The decision to pass the dividend on the
preferred stock of the United Railway
Investment company was an outcome of
labor conditions in San Francisco. The
improved crop reports were received with
satisfaction in financial quarters, but
were powerless to restore the market to
any activity.
The days changes, small as they are,
are quite generally declines, evidencing
the heavy undertone of the dull market.
