THREE RAILROAD men MIX
A Caboose In the Local Yards Was the Scene
Of Considerable ScuffIing.

Last Friday night at about II
O'Clock, Engineer Mccall entered a
caboose occupied by Brakeman VIM.
Walker and Woods and before he left
several blows were exchanged. The
cause of the trouble is not known.
Nevertheless, so it is reported,
Mccall threw Walker out of the ca
boOse, and then tackled Woods. How
ever, Woods didn't intend to leave,
and the two mixed quite freely with
the result that Mccall had his left
ear nearly torn off, besides receiving
other injuries.
Mccall was taken to DR.. Moffet's
office, where adhesives were applied
to hold the injured ear in place.
Later he went to Great Falls and en-
tered the hospital.
a warrant was issued for the
apprehension of Walker, who returned
with Deputy Sheriff Taylor, Tuesday
from Billings. Justice Of the Peace
Balm fined him $40 and costs, and re-
leased him on bail
Taylor leaves today for Great Falls
to bring back Mccall on a charge of
disturbing the peace.

WHAT IT MEANS TO CHANGE TREAS.
Clerks Counting Uncle Sans Money Nc.
Chung Will Give Treat Receipt For
Sl,l0O, ,z83,ll7

There is whole lot more involved
in a change of the Office of treasurer
of the United States than in the mere
acceptance Of the resignation of the
retiring officers and the appointment
of his successor. When President
Taft accepted the resignation OF
Charles IL. Treat, whose name a|-
pears in the bottom right-hand corner
Of all United States bills, and an
nounced that Lee McClung would
succeed him on November 1, it was
equivalent to giving notice to all the
clerks in the Office of the treasurer
that they had three months of hard
work ahead Of them.
This comes from the fact that be-
fore a new treasurer of the United
States takes charge of the office he
has got to be satisfied that all the
money and trust funds held in the
treasury department are there down
to the very last fraction Of cent.
Consequently, every dollar of the
vast boards in the treasury have got
to be counted.
When the last change was made in
the office it took all of the clerks, 20
additional laborers specially hired for
the occasion, a committee of three
appointed by the secretary, with 10
or fifteen specially designated aides
assigned from other offices Of the de-
partment, just two months and Is
days to do this counting and to com
pare the figures thus obtained with
those carried upon the books.
This is not so very surprising when
it is realized that the aggregate
amount of money and securities which
are held in the office of the treasurer
reaches the stupendous total of ST.
1O0, ,2S3, 117.3l 2-3. That fraction of IA
cent which has been carried along in
the treasury books for many years
arose from the interest of Louisiana
state coupon bond which carried
per cent.

THE ANTI WAR SENTIMENT
The Secret of the Opposition of the
 Masses.

Paris, July 2S.-Private advices re- ceived here from Madrid say that the feeling against the war is strong and widespread and it is doubtful whether Premier Maura will be able to weather the storm. The masses are described as being hostile to the war, the purpose of which they do not comprehend and which they sus- pect of being the outgrowth of mining speculation. t.
 The country recalls the 1859 and 1893 experiences and fury of the Kabyie tribesmen and a long, costly and bloody campaign in Africa has no temptations for people who have drunk to the dregs of colonial adven- ture
 The position of General Marina commander of the Spanish forces in Morocco is described as being inher- ently weak He must maintain his base at Melilla and hold Mount Ata- Iayou, four miles distant which pro- tects his advance post. The inter vening country is interspersed with ravines dominated by the foothills of Mount Geruga offering splendid op- portunities for surprises by the Moors.

FLIGHT ID ALEXANDRIA,
 HAD TO BE POSTPONED
The Wind Was unfavorabIe and
 Darkness Came On,

Washington, July 2S.-The Wrights second official flight in the test for en- durance and distance was called off on account of wind and darkness. It was the intention to fly to Alexandria, Virginia.
 The failure disappointed an i'm mense crowd including President Taft and many important government off cials. The course was marked by bright yellow captive balloons. The only real excitement was when one of those near Fort Myer escaped. It was captured at Shutter hill some what damaged.
 All along the road between Fort Myer and Shutter hill, which was the point where Wright was to start back to Fort Myer was a relay series of mounted soldiers. It was t1 have been their duty, in case of accident, to hasten to the fallen machine and then bear back word to tie fort.
 If the weather conditions promise a flight tomorrow, the markers will be replaced in the same positions.

 TAIN JAPANESE.
The Trial of the Leaders of tn
 Plantation Strike.

Honolulu. July 2S.-During the trial today of M Makino and other leaders in the strike of the Japanese planta- tions charged with conspiracy, trans Iations of editorials and other articles that appeared in the Nipu Jijt, the organ of the Japanese higher wage association, were introduced in evi- dence by the prosecution.
 They contained statements that those who were opposing the strike were traitors to their country and "are destroying the colonial foundation of the Japanese nation in Hawaii" Some of the articles also urged the death of those among the Japanese who were opposing the movement for higher wages.
 Professor Walter Dening of the ed ucational department of the Japanese government is acting as interpreter in the trial, and was brought here es- pecially for the purpose. Professor Dening was on the witness stand to- day in behalf of the prosecution, and read translations from many articles that appeared in the Nipu Jiji. He said he came here by permission of the imperial government.
 Under cross examination by counsel for the defendants. he admitted hay ing addressed a meeting of strikers at Waipahu plantation, telling them it was the general opinion in Japan that the Japanese in Hawaii had made a mistake in calling a strike, but he de- nied that he had said he represented the government or that the foreign of flee wanted them to return to work.

THE STOCK MARKETS
 RENEWED STRENGTH
The Bigger United States Steel Divi-
 dend Was contributory.

New York. July 2S.-The incidents of the days trading considered by the spectators of the utmost importance were the increase in the dividend of United States Steel stocks and the rise of Union Pacific. In the. case of the dividend of United States Steel, the compromise rate of threefourths of 1 per cent for the quarter was con- sidered an adroit settlement of a per plexing problem as between the con- tention for the restoration of the 4 per cent annual rate and retention of the per cent rate.
 A rise in New York Central was oc- casioned by rumor that Hartman had invested in that stock. Amalgamated Copper suffered from the renewed fall of the price of copper.
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, $1,325, 900.
 United States bonds unchanged.

 FOR FRIDAY MEET
There Will Be Cups and Other Win ners for the Winners.

The Harry Mclean meet to be held at the Fair Grounds tomorrow after noon promises to be the biggest event of it's kind ever pulled off in the city, outside of the fair meets. More en- thusiasm is being shown as new en- tries are received, and from the sharp rivalry between the different contest ants some new records will be broken and new material discovered.
 It has been arranged to hold the running events first while the track is in good shape, the auto and motor cycle. races having a tendency to cut up the track to a certain extent. The motorcycle races will follow the run ming events, followed by the auto races.
 Two motorcycle races have been booked, one for five miles and the other a ten-mile The entries for both are many, six already having entered the ten-mile.
 Three automobile races are slated, two five-milers and three-mile event One of the five-mile and the three-mile will be entered for class, the other one a free -for-all.

SITUATION GROWS WORSE
Position in Africa Grows Acute and the Sternest Measures A dopte d at Home to Put Down the Anti War Sentiment.

Madrid. July 2S.-The revolution Catalonia has reached a serious stage. There is much bloodshed. The ar tillery has been employed in the streets of Barcelona to quell the out breaks. The city is terror stricken. The revolutionists are reported to be fighting desperately behind barricades. The troops include mounted artillery and the defenses of the rebels have been raBed with shot.
 King Alfonso hastened back to Madrid from San Sebastian today and issued a decree proclaiming martial law and a suspension of constitutional guarantees throughout Spain. Orders have been given the governors of provinces to crush the revolution at any cost without hesitation and with out pity.
 Today marks a black chapter in Spain's history, for there was tragedy both at home and abroad. The army at Melilla, Morocco had a bloody bat tie with the Moors. which though the victory was won by the Spaniards, cost the lives of twenty-one officers and 200 Spaniards killed and wound- ed.
 An exact estimate of the dead and wounded in the clashes between the troops and rebels in Catalonia is i'm possible because of the rigid censor ship. and the government has not fixed a total The government ad- mits, however, that rioters have been killed and wounded in several cities including Barcelona and Alcoy.
 There has been rioting at Saragossa, Vendrell, Rioja, Port Bou and Llan- son and a general strike has been declared at Biscaya. There has been much destruction of property.
 The center of the rebellion is at Barcelona, whither the government is rushing extra troops A dispatch to- night said that the Barcelona revolu- tiOnists had been defeated as a result of desperate charges by troops. Later fighting started again, the artillery using heavy guns to demolish the barricades.
 Advices from the front say that the holy war sentiment IS spreading among the interior tribesmen, who as soon as their crops are gathered, are expected to flock to the coast and join the insurgents.
