B0LT0A-H0OVER mine IDLE
ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY.
FIVE MEN REFUSE WORK.
Trouble Arose Over the Loss of Some
Coal While Car Was Be-
ing Repaired.

Bolton. Ia, July 11,-Special: The
Bolton-Hooyer mine at this place has
been closed down since Thursday ev.
ening and the 1875 miners employed
are idle. The trouble which has caus.
ed the suspension of work occurred
on Thursday. A loaded car of coal
belonging to L. Z. Pierson, president
of the Bolton local union, caught on
a rafter as it was being taken out OF
the mine and about 100 pounds OF
coal was knocked off. The company
refused to make the loss good and the
men refused to work until Mr.. Pierson
had been reimbursed. The value of
the coal involved is said to be only
about 5 cents.
Saturday was pay day at the mines
and $500 was withheld from each
miner, pending a settlement of the
trouble. 1t is thought an agreement
will be reached today and work re-
sumed again on Tuesday.

One of the Latest improvements Has
Been Installed at Market Place.
The city now possesses an automat-
ic drinking fountain of the latest de-
sign. The new fountain is located
along the curbing on c street between
First and High avenues. The fountain
was recently installed by the patentee.
1t has so far proved success. The
old fountains have been abused by
having dogs and small boys play in
the water making it unfit for the
horses to drink. With the new fount-
ain this is impossible. One valuable
advantage possessed by the new
fountain is that it can be operated
the year around. An automatic valve
keeps the water in motion and at the
same time does not waste. The loca.
ton of the fountain makes 1t popular
as it is situated close to the market
place. Others of this same make will
be Installed. replacing the old ones
about the city.

100000 CHEER THE FEAT

Atlantic City, N. j., July 11.--Using
his last pint Of gasoline to drive his
Wright machine across the line of
vision of engineers transits on the
beach, Walter Brookins smashed the
worlds record for aeroplane altitude
here by reaching a height Of 6,175 feet
above sea level
Assured by his aneroid barometer
that he was the first man to guide a
flying machine more than mile above
the earth, and that he had established
a new record by more than 1000 feet
margin, the daring aviator calmly pre-
pared for his terrific glide back to
earth with the knowledge that his en-
gines would stop before he had made
his first 1000 feet downward.
Descends in Thrilling GIIdes.
The expected happened when Brook
ins was $500 feet in the air. His en-
tire descent from this height was made
In series OF thrilling circular glides,
finishing with sharp swerving bank,
which spectators took for a final act
of plucky daring, but which really was
the only move that saved the cool and
daring youth from dashing into the
ocean.
The landing on the beach, cheered
by 100000 spectators, was safely made,
and even expert aviators knew nothing
until several hours later of the mis-
hap or the wonderful bravery of the
youthful king of the air. Brookins
rushed through the crowd which
sought to halt him for congratulations,
and modestly refrained from telling of
his dangerous plight until he had fully
recovered from the effects of the nerv-
GUS strain.
Realizes His Mishap.
Brookins was at his greatest height
and still climbed when his cylinders
missed several explosions. Realizing
that the upward tilt of his machine
had run his last few drops of gasoline
back into his tank the aviator tilted
his plane back to the level and made
for the line over the sea which he
knew must be crossed to secure the Of
fetal worlds record from the observa-
tions of engineers.
His descent was started as soon as
he was sure of having crossed.
