which came out at the time of his
death, in a Chicago hospital on Feb.
%, came on Tuesday when the Chi
cago widow of Frost came to La
Crosse, effected a reconciliation with
the La Crosse widow and left with her
and the latter's children for Chicago,
the two women agreeing to make
their home together for the rest of
their lives
AT Chicago, Frost had wife and
two children, a son of q years and
daughter 10 years old. At La Crosse,
where he was known as DR.. Wilfred
b. Montclair, he had a wife and two
boys of and 2 years. Until his death
each family was in ignorance of the
existence of the other, and Frost or
Montclair was considered a model
husband and father whose business
took him away from home much of
the time. The revelation of his dou-
bic life Frustrated both widows.

closing down the gambling and other
resorts and decreasing the number of
saloons in the city and restricting
those left to a certain district, that
the city would suffer.

BUSHES TROOPS

Miehigan's Governor Answers
Appeal From Mine District.
MANY PERSONS ARE INJURED
Twenty-four Hundred State Soldiers
- VIII Guard Property and Lives
Deputies overpowered by
Striking Miners

Calumet, Mich, July Glowing to
the violation of orders issued by the
Western Federation of Labor which
forbided violence, 2,4G0 state troops
were ordered out Thursday night to
quell riots caused by many OF the
$4,000 miners who are on strike in
the copper belt of Michigan.
Two troops of cavalry, two COM
panies of artillery and all the infantry
companies of the Michigan National
Guard were ordered north at once TO
quell disturbances. Adjutant General
r. C. Vandercook received the orders
at Lansing from Governor Ferris and
acted Immediately.
Thousands of rounds of ammunition
and two field guns of the Lansing ar
tillery companies, supplied with shrap-
mel shells, were included in the equip
ment of the troops.
Rioting attacks on mine guards and
the injury of several persons in
brawls led Sheriff Crune to ask Gov
ernor Ferris for troops.
The governor was on the way to
AlpS w lCA I1AC ACAA1SS iCSA~AAcN
him at Bay City he was included to
think the sheriff was undHly alarmed
Later reports, however, convinced the
governor that armed help was needed
so he ordered General Vandercook to
rush soldiers to the strike zone.
The chief disturbance that set the
troops in motion was an assault on
deputy sheriffs stationed at the mines
of the Calumet & Hecla company to
protect property.
About three hundred strikers, armed
with steel drills, clubs and stones
and a few with firearms, which they
fired into the air, marched to the No.
2 Conglomerate shaft and stripped the
deputies of stars.
The victorious strikers, meeting lit
tie opposition, proceeded to the iiecla
branch mine and Invested the deputies
there of their insignia of authority.
The strikers then surrounded all the
surface plants of the Calumet & Hecla
company and forced suspension Of
auxiliary operations in these plants
Whether the strikers yielded to the
advice of leaders or were frightened
by the call for troops, they ceased
their riotous demonstrations late in
the afternoon. More than 500 miners
from Ahmeek marched to Calumet and
paraded the streets, shouting for the
union, but attempted no violence.
Several mass meetings were held
and great enthusiasm was shown when
the speakers exhorted the men to re-
main faithful to the strike orders.
Several men were armed with clubs
and others were said to carry knives
and revolvers.
At Hancock strikers went to the
Park Brewing company's plant, oper-
ated by non-union men. and closed
it, driving away the brewers.
