PASSENGERS ON KALISPELL
TRAIN GET A SCARE
Sack Of Rifle Shells Ignited by
Stove and Explode - Conductor
Van Has Marrow Escape.

There was excitement galore in
the smoking car Of the Kalispell
branch train Sunday night as it was
pulling into the wye at Columbia
Falls to make the connection with
No. 2. Conductor Teddy Van had
just alighted from the train to get
his orders at the telephone booth.
where the wye intersects with the
main line, when he saw the occu-
pants Of the smoking car falling all
over themselves trying to get out
the front door. On enquiring
the cause of this extraordinary como
tion, one who was sufficiently COM
posed, SO that he could speak, in
formed Teddy that gunny sack Of
rifle shells was on fire in the rear
of the car and they were getting out
fearing an explosion. Van went to
investigate the matter and found the
facts as stated. He grabbed the
burning sack and gave it kick out
the door just as one of the shells
exploded. A part of the bursted
shell struck him in the leg but did
no damage. The bullet struck a
stove leg and then imbedded itself
in the woodwork in the side Of the
car. l, was very narrow escape
from serious accident.
Conductor Van made an effort to
ascertain who the shells belonged tc,
but no one claimed them until he
got into the station when a passen-
ger, an old man and boy, came in
from the other car and enquired
about them. They both got a lee
ture that will long remain in their
memory.
The shells were the high power
variety for .401 rifle. There were
about a dozen boxes of them, and
for convenience of carrying they
had been placed in gunny sack.
When the owner of the shells got
aboard the train he placed the sack
up against the coal stove in the car
with the result that it was ignited.

WHAT M MANIGAL
 TOLD GRAND JURY
Statement by Confessed Los An- geles Dynamitcr Before Grand Jury Made Public-Mrs. MMan-
 igal Contempt Case Dismissed.

Los Angeles, July i9.-Judge Wal ter Bordwell yesterday dismissed the charges of contempt against
 Mrs. McManigil, wife of the con- fessed dynamiter. The charges were brought against the woman by the attorneys prosecuting the McNamara cases because the wo- man had refused to answer ques- tions before the grand jury. The contempt case was dismissed on the grounds that the questions asked were not for the purpose of securing new indictments.
 Following Judge Bordwelrs dis missal of the contempt charges aginst Mrs. McManigal yesterday, Clarence Darrow announced that no move would be made by the Mc- Namara defense until further action lis taken by District Attorney D. Fredericks against Mrs. McManigal.
 Unless further proceedings are instituted to compel Mrs. McMani- gal to testify, no legal activity in the case is contemplated until it is called for trial in October.
 A transcript of McManigals tes- timony before the grand jury was made public by the McNamara's at torneys after Mrs. McManigal was freed. According to this, McMani- gal told the jury that he, accom- panied by J. B. McNamara, who he said, was also known as J. B. Bryce, and Frank Sullivan, went from Indianapolis to Chicago in the summer of 1910. Before start ing he went to the office of J. B. McNamara in the American Life building, Indianapolis, he said, and met the two McNamaras. He was told he was to accompany J. R. McNamara to the coast, but the details of the trip were not ex- plained to him. Two suit cases were already packed at the office, he said, one of which J. R. McNamara told him was filled with "infernal machines"
 These, he said, were the clock ar engagements used in all the dyna- mite cases. Just before J. B. Me- Namara left for the train he was handed a third suit case, which he later learnde contained twelve quarts of nitroglycerine. Parts of the explosive was to be taken to Milwaukee and part to Duluth, he said, to be used in blowing up structures being erected by the Hyde and Patterson Company with which the union was at odds.
 He declared that he later pulled three jobs off"
 After the dynamiting of the Times, McManigaI testified, he wrote to ]. ]. McNamara's office in Indianapolis and asked him about it. McNamara replied, he said, That ought to make them come across. They wanted us to give them good cleanup, and I guess they got it."

SHOCKLEY DEAD;
 WAS WRONG MAN
Jury Disagrees Regarding Holding Of Man Who Shot Hot Springs Horse Trader-Other Officers
 Look for the Real CuIprit.

Hot Springs, July is.-L. B Shocklcy, the man suspected of an attempted assault on Nellie Smith yesterday morning and who was captured late yesterday afternoon after being mortally wounded by City Detective Will Laughlin, ex- pired this afternoon at St. Josephs' lnflrmary, where he was taken last night to be operated on. Though gwen an opportunity, he never made statement. It now develops he was the wrong man, though a partner of his is wanted.
 Both Fugitives. Officers learned this afternoon that Shockley and a young man by the name of Charley Kruegar are both wanted in Little River coun- ty, this state, on charges of horse stealing and bootIegging. Kfuegar is described as being red-headed, freckled face and about g years old age, which is about the same de- scription Miss Smith gave of her would-be assailant. Kruegar and ShOckley are said to have the same kind of horses and were of the same height and build. Shockley, however had black hair and fair skin.
 Decline Charity.
 Officers learned Kruegar left the city early this morning after visit ing the deserted camp of the Shockleys on the road to Arkadel- phia. Officers in every direction have been notified and asked to be on the lookout for the man. It is believed he is the guilty party. Mrs. Shockley stated to officers her hus- band is wanted in Oklahoma on charges of horse stealing and boot logging, and she thought it was for this charge they were after him. She scouts the idea he has ever been guilty of such a crime as att tempting to assault a young girl. Sympathetic citizens this afternoon raised purse to send the body of the dead man to Texas, but the father and widow are too proud to accept, and they said they will mortgage their teams and wagons to secure money to have the body shipped.
 Unable to Agree.
 After deliberating almost an hour the coroner's jury tonight failed to reach verdict. eight voting to hold Detective Laughiln for unjustifiable homicide and eight voting to ex- onerate him.
 Coroner Randolph refused to dis charge the jury and ordered them to report for further deliberations Friday morning.

Test Tubes Reveal the Fact That Passengers, Themselves We'll, Are Carriers" of Millions
 of Bacteria.

New York, July t9.-The test tubes of the physicians at Ouaran- tine have saved New York from a possible invasion of Asiatic cholera by five carriers of the disease, in themselves well, but bearers of millions of bacteria.
 Their presence was made mani fest today as the result of the in- dividual bacteriological examina- tions instituted in the case of every person detained at Hoffman Island, an extraordinary precaution. Their discovery, together with the failure of additional cases of cholera to de- velop at Quarantine, caused Health Officer Doty to regard the outlook as brighter than at any time with in the last week.
 The five cases revealed by the examination were at once iso- lated from other immigrants and lodged in the Swinburne Island Hospital.
 Dr. Leland k. Golfer. assistant surgeon of the United States Public Health and Marine Hospital Service at Washington, who will assist in the fight against the plague, held a conference today with MT. Doty. Mayor Gaynor will accompany Dr. Golfer to Guar aIittiIic toTIi0T tomorrow T0w, the thsis object of his visit being 10 formu- late plan of harmony and concert ed action among the municipal, state and federal health officers. The health officer, Dr. A. H. Doty, looks on the situation here az more favorable. He issued the following bulletin this morning: s'At Hoffman Island conditions are satisfactory. There have been no further cases of cholera among the passengers or crews of the steam CT Moltke, detained there. Reports from Swinburne Island hospital state there have been no further deaths. The conditions of the pas sengers and crew of the steamer Preugria is also satisfactory this morning.

It is the most durable sole leather ever made weather proof, heat proof, all but wear proof.
 This leather has been initiated largely since 1t proved so successful-but it cannot be duplicated because it is the exclusive property of Endicott, Johnson & Co.
 Endcott, Johnson & Co.'S damages of calf skin and chrome-tanned upper leather are as far ahead of commercial feathers as their Forest Oak" and 'Kromelk" are ahead of commercial soles.
 Extortionate Profits Saved
 Endcott, Johnson & Go. find it perfectly feasible to produce a dependable, long wear ing shoe and sell it at the price that the aver- age man wants to pay for his shoes.

 Then they cut out the Shoe Jobber's proft-selling direct to your home shoe dealer and 30,0O0 other retailers in this country.
 Thanks to this 'hide to retailer" policy Endicott, Johnson & Go. can save you 5C cents to $l.00 on every pair of shoes you buy.
