A ROOSEVELT TRIPS
EXCITING INCIDENTS
They Did Not, However, Mar the
Pleasure of the Journey.

Professor and Mrs. +. NJ. Irish
Miss Griswold and Walter Wilbur re-
turned Monday evening from a highly
eventful trip to Roosevelt As men
toned in these columns a few days
ago, they had a rather disastrous ex-
perience en- route, though the place
OF. the accident was at Fish Creek, in
stead Of Granite Reef, as stated
above. The conveyance in which the
party Travelled was well nigh demol-
ished, and it required some little time
to have it put back in running order
Aside from this incident, the trip was
most pleasant one. Some rain
fell. as it usually does, when the Irish
party makes a trip anywhere, but
this really only added to the beauty
of the scenery en- route. Miss Girls
void, who has lived practically all
her life in the east and to whom the
Roosevelt road was something en-
tirely new, was most enthusiastic
over the beauty and the grandeur OF
the trip.

ITALIAN SHOT IN RIOT.
Strikers in Fond du Lac Limekilns
Clash with Deputies at Knowles
Plant

FOND DU LAC Wis, Aug. s.
Especial. l-One Italian was shot in the
foot and four others arrested in a clash
between strikers from the limekilns at
Marblehead and a score of deputies and
constables at Knowles Monday after
noon. The injured man and those who
were arrested were taken to Juneau.
Shortly after o'clock the authorities
at Knowles learned that a body of strik-
ers from Marblehead were on their way
to Knowles to make the men quit work
strikers, upon their arrival, were met by
an armed force, which did not attempt
to modest them until they ATTEMPTED to
enter the quarries.
The fight started when one of the dep
uties arrested Mike lombard, leader
OF the strikers. The other strikers, who
carried red flags, suddenly opened fire
on the deputies and a battle ensued.
The strikers beat a hasty retreat, hiding
in cornhelds and adjacent woods. The
man who was wounded was found hid
ing IN barn and was turned over to
the authorities at Juneau. Later three
other strikers were arrested and taken
to Juneau.
Sheriff Seeve and a score uf deputies
secured the country near Marblehead
throughout the night. hTe strikers are
in an ugly mood and may cause trouble
at any moment. The officers of the va
rious companies say that they will not
give the strikers an increase in their pay
under any condition, and as a result it
is probable that the trouble will be con-
tinued.
At Hamilton all the employees in the
Western Lime and Stone company's
plant quit work because they were
afraid of the strikers. The men have all
left the plants of the Mast Brothers and
Standard Lime and Stone company at
Knowles and the plants of the Union
Lime and Stone company and the Mast
Brothers at Marblehead where the
strike started, are still idle.

on a tenure which forbade them to cut
down trees. these being reserved as the
property of the Royal navy. But any
tree which fell down without human as
sistance they might keep, so that a hurri-

MONUMENT FOR SAM HOUSTON.
Contract for Erection at Huntsville,
Tex, Will Be Let Soon.

AUSTIN, Tex, Aug. 2.-The contract
for the monument to Gen. Sam Houston,
to be erected at Huntsville over his
grave, as provided by the Legislature
with an appropriation of $4,000, will
be let before September l, as the appro-
priation becomes void after that time.
Pompeo Coppini, an artist of San An
tonic, who formerly submitted plans of
a bronze monument for Gen. Houston,
was given permission by Gov. Camp
bell to submit another original idea Of a
Texas granite monument as provided in
the act of the Legislature.
When he submitted his former plan,
he did not know the monument must
be of Texas granite. The plans will be
submitted to the governor and the fam
lily of Gen. Houston as soon as Mr.. Cop
PM returns home and works out his
idea. Up to this time the only plan that
might bear consideration is the one sub
mitted by Frank Teich of Llano, who
proposes the erection of a shaft, and is
now drawing the plans and specifications
in accordance with the idea.
The chief trouble has been that all
sculptors seem to wish to submit plans
for a bronze design.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-Fourteen

experience and mountains of criticism,

of 131 Woodbine street, Brooklyn, have
been safely delivered at that address
after a tempestuous time with Collector
Loeb's customs officers on the White
Star pier.
Miss Walther called herself a penni-
less student of the drama when she dis
embarked. The customs men were will
ing to believe it until they saw the four
teen trunks These they ransacked
thoroughly, and Miss Walther's opinion
of their thoroughness grew from a mild
protest to word flashing that bystand-
ers declared to be a classic of it's sar-
castle kind.
