MOVER IS MISSING
FROM BUTTE CITY
Apprehension is Felt after a
Night of Terror Caused by
Mob of Miners.

BUTTE, Mont. May 24.-After a
night of terror in Butte apprehen-
sion was felt today that the mob of
insurgent miners, that last night
wrecked the miners union hall with
twenty-five blasts of dynamite, might
turn their activities in other direc-
lions. The mines, all but two near
the wrecked hall from one Of which
the dynamite was stolen, are work
ing.
No trace has been found Of Presi-
dent Charles H. Meyer, OF the West
ern Federation of Miners. who last
night called the meeting of the old
union to order and presented his plan
for Cancellation of the warning fac
lions. Hardly had Meyer read his
paper, promising to correct the griev-
ances of the seeding miners and
concluding with plea for calmer
Judgment when the first shot of the
earlier evening rioting, In which one
was killed, were heard.

that artificial legs have been SO per-

TAKEN
TO MARTLNSBURG
Second Band of Penitentiary,
Prisoners s-Put TO Work
on the Roads.

MARTINSBURG, June 24-The
second batch of prisoners from the
penitentiary at Moundsyille to en-
gage in road work. in the expert
mental stage in West Virginia has
arrived in Martinsburg and has
been taken out to the camp In the
McKown orchard near Inwood. They
will be used in that section To i'm
prove the road from Inwood to, Ger
rardstown.
There are twenty-one men In the
gang, twelve white and nine negroes,
and they will be in charge of Guard
j. G. Brady. The prisoners were ac-
companied by r. M. Ayers, secretary
to Warden NJ. L. Brown, who will
make necessary arrangements for
their care and maintenance while in
Berkeley county.
MIR. Ayres says there is but one
other camp of prisoners working on
state roads and that is near st.
Marys. The honor system pevails
and the men treated like human
beings, allowed as much liberty as
one could expect under the circum-
stances, and those who came to Mar
tinsburg were practically at large.
All seem to appreciate these priv
ileges and the prison authorities con-
fidently expect the plan to prove of
inestimable value in redeeming men
who have in an unfortunate moment
gone astray. At the penitentiary
there is quite rivalry as to who
shall be sent out on road work.
No "lifers" are sent out, although
some of the best men and model
prisoners are in this class. The men
selected are those whose terms are
Of shorter duration and their con-
duct enters largely into the selection.

increased allowances.
On the promise OF the government
to Investigate their grievances the
men later returned to work.

{ From Charles Brook smith.l

WASHINGTON. June 24.-There
Is striking similarity in the charges
in the impeachment case against
Judge A. G. Dayton, of West Virginia,
which is in its initial stages, and that
of Judge Speer, of Georgia, upon
which subcommittee of the House
judiciary committee has just rendered
a .report-two of them, in fact, as
there is a minority report. Both re-
ports unite In declaring to the whole
committee that there are not sufficient
grounds upon which to recommend
impeachment.
In these reports, and the action of
the whole committee on them which
they foreshadow, those who are in
touch with the Speer case as well as
the Dayton case. are predicting today
that nothing will come OF the charges
against Judge Dayton. They freely
predict, too, that the Dayton case will
not get as far as the Speer case; that
1t will end just where it is-in COM
mittee; that the Nicely resolution au-
thortztng the House Judiciary commit
tee to Investigate Judge Dayton will.
not be fayorably reported by that
committee to the House. So much
for prophesy.
AT many points the Dayton and
Speer charges converge and run In
unique paralellism, and at many other
points they differ widely. There is
nothing unusual about the latter. In
the Dayton case there is a son who
figures in stellar role in the charges
while in the speer case it is a son-in-
law. There are the same charges of
corporate and court favoritism and
favorttes, extravaganza in the use OF
the courts expense money, the pos

CLEMENCY SHOWN
TO HARVEST HAND

After spending all the money he
had made as a harvest hand in the
middle west, Will johnson. 81 years
old, thought he saw an easy way to
get the price of a meal last Tues
day and bought a bottle of whisky
for an Indian. He was arrested by
Patrolman Deyincenzi as he handed
over the liquor and was placed in the
city Jail.
Owing to his youth Johnson was
booked under a disorderly charge,
and was ordered to leave town
within "a hours and not to come
back for a year. 1t was the first
time he had ever received a floater
and he had to be instructed as to
what 1t meant.
A. Gordon, a fireman who has had
trouble several times, owing to hav-
ing contracted the drug habit when
family difficulties made their APP
pearance, also was ordered out OF
town for a year. He was first snap

ODD FELLOWS WILL
BUILD HARTING HOME.

II is thought probable that the at
tempt of the University of Nevada
to secure the $4,000 estate left by
the late Otto Harding will be frus-
trated by a decision of the Odd Eel
lows. reached last Monday, to claim
the estate for the purpose it was in
tended, the maintenance of an or
phans' home by the local lodge of

When Harting died he willed his
estate to the |. 0. o. +. for the
foundation and maintenance OF
a Royal d. Harding Home for Or
phans." The will decreed that should
the Odd Fellows not desire TO use
the estate for this purpose, it should
revert to the university as a fund
for the education of poor but desery-
ing students.
The Rebekah lodge, an auxiliary
of the Odd Fellows, has recently
opened an orphans home, and 1t was
intended that this act should ove
the requirements of the will. The
university regents claim however.
that the Rebekahs are not the Odd
Fellows, and that the estate should
therefore revert to the university
The Grand sire of the |. o. o. +.
has ordered the local lodge to claim
the estate and put it 10 the purpose
intended. which may cause the re-
gents to drop their claim.

HEADLIGHT COST $500, 900.

The day of the gas headlight on
engines on the Southern Pacific is
numbered. An order recently issued
by officials of the railroad calls for
the installation of an incandescent
lamp, and a suitable one is being
made.
The incandescent lamp has a very
powerful ource of light. not more
than three-sixteenths OF an inch in
diameter, and is more reliable than
bigger gas lights. The energy con
sumed by this lamp is less than that
consumed by two ordinary 16-can-
dlepower lights, and properly focus
ed, produces a cylinder of light more
than zoo, 900 beam-eandlepower.
The life of the lamp is three months.
The expenditure by the Southern
Pacific for this lamp will be in the
neighborhood of $4,000.

Two. Extension of the duties OF

out of partisan control.
Three. The appointment by the

Four. A reduction in the member

Five The immediate consolidation
of the railroad. public service and
tax commissions, and the abolition
of those commissions, departments

Seven. The adoption of a measure

and inexpensive method of %adjudica-
ton of water rights.
Eight. Amendments to the pri-
