RELIGIOUS TROUBLE AT FEVER HEAT
 IN SCOTLAND
Special from United Press.)

SI
 Glasgow. June 9.-Trouble that has been brewing for months between the Catholics and Protestants of Lanark- shire County is at fever heat to-day as result of last nights riotous clash between the two in the town of Motherwel. twelve miles southeast of here. It is not clear yet just what started last nights trouble but a large open air Protestant meeting was sud- denly converted into an anti-Catholic demonstration. The Catholics barricad- ed themselves in their homes but the Protestants. with a big numerical ad- vantage. broke into many of the houses and assaulted the occunants.
 A detail of police was called into ac- ton and succeeded after a half hours clubbing of the be1ligerents,. in reStor- ing order for the time being. Twenty of the rioters were dangerously in jured and hundred or more slightly hurt. Further trouble is imminent not only in Motherwell but throughout the country as the ill-feeling between the sects is general.
 The trouble started when itinerant Protestant evangelists began working in the county. Their open air meet ings, in which they bitterly attacked Catholics and Catholicism. greatly en- ragged the Catholics.

 Rawlins, wyo., June S.-After die tating my telegram for you yesterday. and as I am doing now to my mana ger, I received the best shower bath in all my career. I was thoroughly washed and saved a laundry bill. The shower lasted one hour and nine min utes when I was east of Rawlins, ar irving at 7:30 F. M, with my outer clothing dried out.
 I was escorted into Rawlins by ex- Judge of the Supreme Court Homer Merrill, ex-Marshal F. A. Headsan. James H. Clause and H. A. Gonden.
 After changing clothes I felt com- fortable while waiting for supper. received three letters, one from my mascot in Wall Street. one from D. F. my Newly made friend and benefac- tor A. c. Overholt of Winona, Kan.
 The kind reception rendered me by the residents of this town, the special treatment, and the three cheering let ters made me forget troubles. I re- ceived a copy of The Times of May 23, containing a kindly Topic of the Times," with reference to my arduous task, which greatly pleased me. l went to bed at 9:3O P. M. and slept till 11:3O P. M., and after a light lunch I started on my walk At 1920 A. M., feeling in excellent condition and the best of spirits. in company with six prominent people of this town, who walked two and one-half miles with me. I consider that I won the Ashley belt on two hours sleep, and probab- ly will win this effort in the same way weather permitting.
 The rains have caused great dam age to railroads in this State, cOnse- quently trains yesterday were from twelve to fifteen hours late, which will keep my manager behind and de- priving me of his services in making arrangements. I walked in two show CTS this morning, getting wet. but dried out again in the wind, and I hope to arrive at WamSutter at PM.
