President Mover, Who Was to Address Meeting, Makes Escape Through Rear Window and Leaves the City in an Automobile
 With Little Delay.

Butte, Mont, June 23.-Violence broke out anew tonight in the strug- gle between factions of the Butte miners union and three men were shot, one being killed, by a fusllade fired by deputy sheriffs in clearing Union hall.
 An attempt has been made to dyna- mite the miners hall, but the charge failed to do any great amount of damage. The explosion could be heard for blocks.
 Armed men proceeded to the Stew art mine and boldly carried down boxes of dynamite in the attempt to blow up the hall, but the guns of the deputies prevented effective placing of the charge.
 Charles Mover, president of the Western Federation of Miners, and other officers of the union who were to address a peace meeting in the hall, fled through the rear door of the auditorium when the shooting began. They are said to have left the city for fear of attack by seceders from the miners union, who several days ago revolted against special assess ments for the Michigan copper mine strikers and the use of the card sys- tenn.
 Many armed deputies were at the hall tonight to preserve order at a meeting called to outline plans for settling differences between the fac tions of the local union. Many se- ceders, who have planned to organ ize new union under the auspices of the Industrial Workers of the World, were in and around the hall.
 The insurgents started to storm the hall, according to Sheriff Driscolls deputies stationed there, and several shots were fired in the air to drive the besiegers back. The impetus of the rush was so great that crowd came on in spite of the warning shots.
 More shots were fired and Ernest Noy, travelling inspector for the Montana Demurrage Bureau, fell dead. He was an onlooker. A bullet passed through his neck. J. II. Brune, who was going up the stairs to at tend the meeting in Miners hall, was shot through the head as the depu- ties, desperate at the continued on slaught of the men, fired at every one in sight. Brune cannot recover, it is said.
 The third man shot in the first on- slaught was Charles Kramer of Los grazed his abdomen but he was not severely hurt.
 As the three men fell the attackers became frightned and fell back. The deputies then reloaded their weapons and prepared for any renewed as- sault on the building.
 At the first volley President Mover and all other officials of the Fedora. 'lSh Nho hdu tdhcH pidteS DI tue rostrum, rushed out the rear door. An automobile was waiting for them and they hurriedly drove away, it is said.
 Sheriff Driscoll rushed more depu- ties to the hall and soon a hundred men with sawed-off shotguns were on guard. They attempted to keep everybody from the building as 1t was reported the structure was about to be dynamited.
 This report was well founded. for shortly after the place was cleared explosives were set off under union headquarters. The detonation could be heard for blocks but did little damage to the building.
 Officers believe that some of the seceders' from the union planned to blow up Union hail and kill Mover and other officers of the Western Federation of Miners.
 As the miners were driven back by incessant firing of the deputies, they
