Regarding the dispute at Lewistown,
he 'blames the miners, who, he says,
have violated their contract with the
operators. They are to blame, he says,
and while they did not like the con
tract and have found fault with the
officers of the district, they should
have remained at work until the mat
ter was investigated by an Internal
ional officer, as their rules provide.
Vice President White is expected in
the state in a few days from national
headquarters to investigate the dis
pute at Lewistown. All other disputes
in the state, Mr.. Gibson says, have
been satisfactorily adjusted.
During the past few days President
Gibson has been Investigating the ac-
cident at Red Lodge and he seems I'M
able to explain how it happened. One
reason, which he heard advanced at
the hearing in the Carbon county city,
was that some miner had thrown a
wick from a lamp behind some dry
cribbing and it had set the timber on
fire. While in Red Lodge, Mr.. Gibson,
went through the workings Of the East
Side mine and assisted in marking it
with arrows to indicate the way out,
to assist the workmen in event an
other such disaster as that Of last
week should occur. He says that work
of clearing the debris in the mine is
progress ny slowly and that Friday,
the burned bones of a human being
were recovered. He expressed the be-
lief that the other victims entombed
in the mine were burned to death.
While the men are somewhat timid
about returning, to work, Mr.. Gibson,
says that before long the mine will
be operating a large force.
He feels confident that the fire did
not start from the blaze which has
been burning for so many years.
Mr.. Gibson expects to return to
Billings in a few days and go to
Lewistown with Vice President White
Of the National organization to make
an effort to settle the dispute there.

YOUNG MAN AnRf En 70
Es SERIOUS CRIME.
LIVED BEYOND MEANS
William Thomasson Arrested Charged
with Roeb'ns Employers Wife
Said 81 Have Lived Beyond His
Means.
From Sundays Daily.

William Thomasson, a young man
who has been employed as clerk at
the store Of G. w. Kahn, was arrested
yesterday afternoon and placed in the
city jail. charged with having robbed
the cash drawer in his employers
store Of $50 in money.
It is understood that Thomasson
comes Of q well-to-do Kentucky family
and IS q young man just starting out
ID life. He was well liked by every
one and the fact Of his arrest on SO
serious a charge will be news to many.
81 is said that he lived above his
means and that the money which he
Is charged with having taken from his
employer went for a better living than
de could afford from the salary he
earned.
The complaint was sworn out be
tore Judge Mann by the assistant
county attorney and the charge was
made petit larceny. though the amount
3ET9WE-fielN ek4HA a4FEbNENY .N'
taken is said to be $500
Thomasson was taken to the county
jail last evening and before going was
arraigned by Judge Mann, and pleaded
guilty. The Judge gave him some good
advice and stated that it was within
the province Of the court and the law
II the case to bind him over on a
serious charge, but that consid-
ering his age and apparent good
ing that it would not be done. The
imposing Of a sentence will be sus.
pended until next Thursday.
Thomasson broke down and lsaid
that he had wired his folks for, the
money with which to make gool his
shortage and that it would be here
soon.
The money taken was the property
Of Mrs. Kahn, and was from money
which she received as secretary Of a
local lodge. The money was kept in
a sack, with .44e olner store casa, and
the lock was a very common one.
Mr.. Kahn stated last night that he
had no wish to prosecute the boy, and
tnat if the money which he stole was
made good, he would ask that Thomas
son be given a light sentence.

Don't Wait for the Fatal stages OF
Kidney illness. Profit by Bill
ings' Peoples Experiences.
Occasional attacks of backache, ir-
regular urination, headaches and dizzy
spells are common early symptoms Of
kidney disorders. It's an error to
neglect these ills. The attacks may
pass off for a time but return with
greater intensity. If there are symp-
toms of dropsy-puffy swellings be-
low the eyes, bloating of limbs and
ankles, or any part of the body, don't
delay a minute. Begin taking Doan's
Kidney Pills, and keep up the treat
ment until the kidneys are we'll, when
your old time health and vigor will re-
turn. Cures in Billings prove the eff
f%ectiveness of this great kidney
remedy.
J. D. Fulmer, living at 221 Wyoming
avenue, Billings, Mont, says: Il have
used Doan's Kidney Pills on different
OCCdSlOuS lOI ONcI AlUeCn years anu
at times do not know what | would
have done without them. My work
as a carpenter is very hard OF the
kidneys and as a result l frequently
suffered from backache and sharp
darting pains through my loins. I
never found a remedy SO effective for
these troubles as Doan's Kidney Pills
and they have never failed to relieve
the most serious attack. l know from
experience that Doan's Kidney Pills
are unequalled al a kidney remedy

AS soon as the news of the explo-
sion reached the officers of the com
'pany, special trains were started from
this city and Monongahela with re-
lief parties. The train from this city
carried the chief officers Of the COM
pany and mining experts from the
United States laboratory and testing
station recently established here, who
took with them the latest appliances
and devices for relief work, includ-
ing oxygen helmets, by mean of
which the rescuers may go through

Superintendent A. C. Beaser, Fire
Boss VIM. Kennedy and Mine Boss
JOS. j. Kennedy, went down the shaft
in a bucket during the afternoon but
were able to get only within forty
feet of the bottom. Y
Bottom Of Shaft Reached.
Later several experienced miners
descended the steps inside the shaft
and succeeded in reaching the bottom.
Here they found further progress
blocked. The lateral heading from the.
bottom of the shaft into the mine
proper was choked with debris and
they gave it as their opinion that it
would take many hours to clear this
away.
The largest possible force was at
once put to work to open the passage.

compromising statements was rejected
by all who were behind the scenes.
With regard to the crimes, them
selves-Mme. Steinheil's husband and
her mother, Nine. Japy were found
murdered in the Steinheil home in
Paris on May 81 OF this year and at
the same time Nine. Steinheil was
discovered bound and gagged.
The net is drawing closer and closer
around the wife. Scores of romantic
affairs with sons of note in political
and social circles are coming to light,
and they prove what a remarkable W o
man she a She is now called "the
charmer of men,"
Her salon was dazzingly brilliant
Her last lover, in whose eyes she de-
clared she wanted to justify herself,
has now been discovered and his iden.
tity furnishes a clue to a motive for
the crime.
He is a rich widower and resides in
a famous chateau near Mesiers in the
department Of Ardenness. He is not
implicated in the crime. When seen
by a Journalist this man, who is the
father of three children, protested
fr%antically at the disgrace that expos
ure would bring. He said he was
ready to commit suicide, but neverthe-
less he made a clean breast Of his re-
lations with Nine. steinheil. He de.
scribed how he had met her at a re-
ception at the Steinheil house.
The gathering was a distinguished
one. He soon got in the habit of
meeting her at the Green Lodge, a
villa at Belleview, which Nine. tSein-
he'll rented under the name of Nine.
Provost.
Mariette Wolff, the cook whose son
was accused by Nine. Steinheil Of be.
ing guilty of the murders, lived at the
same lodge and was her mistress
confident. This was early last year.
For a month 1t was an exquisite
idyl," said this man in describing the
episode.
e'Mme. Steinheil said she adored
me, and at each meeting she made
me swear I was the only lover she
had ever had.
"she told me of her past the wild
over continued to the newspaper
men, land denied this gossip of her
relations with other men. She insist
ed particularly that the Faure story
was a legend, and said she could
prove that she was home, i'll at the
time of M. Faure's death. She admit
ted, however, that she hated her nus
band and said he lead an infamous
existence" She detested her mother
also for having forced her to marry
Steinheil. She assured me that she
would get q divorce and marry me-"
Continuing his explanation, this
man related how the scales gradually
fell from his eyes. When the spell
was broken he returned home.
Nine. Steinheil however, continued
to pursue him and t%elephoned him
every day. One the morning OF the
crime she called him up by long dis.
lance telephone, but the wire was not
working well and he could barely un.
derstand what she said. Finally she
exclaimed:
II am satisfied for I have heard
your voice, that is enough for me-"
The next day. when he learned of
the murders. he suspected the truth
and. came to Paris. He saw Nine.
