 to the Militia
MAY BE PROSECUTED
 FOR KILLING MAJOR

 breaks Are Expected

Denver, April 2a.-Coiorado's seven months industrial conflict today claimed toll of at least nine human lives. This was the verified record to- night, divided as follows,
 At Forbes, seven mine guards and one striker dead. with two other strikers believed to have been killed. At Walsenburg one officer of the militia hospital corps killed. one of ficer and two enlisted men wounded.
 The Forbes camp was a scene of desolation, virtually all of the mine buildings having been destroyed by fire. Here it was the work of only a few fleeting hours. It was about 5:30 a. m. when the strikers opened their attack in force. With the wom- en and children of the camp harri- caded In the mine slope, the guards responded spiritedly. About 10 o'clock the firing ceased and the camps as- sailants disappeared as mysteriously as they came, some toward Trinidad and others over the hills in the direction of Berwind and Tabasco. According to Superintendent Nichol of the mine three strikers were seen to tumble down the hillside.

More than six miles of dirt roads
leading into Muscatine has been oil
ed and these arteries are now assum.
ing the appearance of park driveways.
Heavy traffic is now ironing out the
oil in such manner that the roads are
given an asphaltic appearance and as
the oil continues to be absorbed by the
dart the gradual improvement of the
roads will continue.
The streets which have been oiled
from the paving to the city limits are
the following: Grandview avenue,
Hershey avenue, Oregon street and
Stewart road, Lucas street, Mulberry
and Park avenues. The oiling was
completed today and the machine is
to be taken back to Davenport shortly
City crews have cleaned up all of
the paved streets and the continued
use of the flusher has washed the
bricks nicely.

ENGINE TENDER
MAKES MAD RACE
BREAKS FROM TRAIN ON AGENCY
HILL AND RUNS AMUCk
THROUGH OTTUMWA.

Many Ottumwans watched with fear
the outcome of the mad race OF an
engine tender that swCOped down
Agency hill on the Burlington, sped
through the local railroad yards and
oblivious Of street crossings or any
thing that might be in its way con-
tinued it's fight west past the union
depot only bringing up finally at the
switch tower in the west end near the
Milwaukee crossing. The unscheduled
trip occurred about II o'clock this
morning.
The railroad men in the different de-
partments breathed sigh of relief
when they learned of the termination
of the wild race. Coming without any
warning, the yard crews and everyone
else enroute gave way and stood at
safe distance to watch the empty
tank car rush past.
The empty tender was used on the
locomotive of extra No 1922 in charge
of Conductor Arnold. This was .
work train doing repairing on Agency
hill The engine was at the rear OF
the work train pushing it up the hill
and this accounts for the tender being
where it was The extra tank carried
supply of water that would enable
the work train engine to remain on the
Job without having to make a run
back to the Ottumwa yards for water
when it's tank ran low.
While at the top of the hill, the ex-
ira tank or tender broke its coupling
with the engine and before it could be
stopped, sped away down the incline
of several miles toward Ottunwa.
Fortunately there was no one aboard
and none to apply the hand brakes
with which tenders are equipped
The runaway gained momentum with
distance and by the time it crossed
Iowa avenue it was making fast mail
time or better. On it sped through the
yarls and luckily the switches all
along it's route were properly set. II
not there might have been different
tale to tell.
The yard men realizing what had
happened, got into clear and several
engines sounded their whistles to warn
persons in the path of the runaway
tender On it went at a great speed
through the yards and up toward the
business part of town. Teams and
pedestrians at the various street cross
ings got warning in time to avoid &C
cident and street cars were safely
over the Market street crossing when
the derelict rushed wildly on.
Past Market street crossing and on
through the union depot passenger
yards the runaway continued. Gradu.
ally spending its great momentum &C
CURED in it's long run down Agency
HILL the wild tank did not stop until
near the interlocking switch tower at
the Milwaukee crossing. 1t travelled
seven or eight miles over the Agency
hill and through busy yards, past the
busiest road crossings, negotiating
countless switches and thrilling the

NAMES THANKSGIVING DAY
Governor Desenstes Thursday, Nov.
26, as Day of Observance OF
Prosperity's Reign.

Madison-Gov. McGovern has issued
the following proclamation designat-
ing Thursday, Nov. &c, as Thanksgiv-
ing day:
AS autumn draws to a close it be-
comes increasingly evident that the
people of Wisconsin have been espe-
cially favored this year by a gracious
providence Never before was nature
kinder. Sunshine and rain in proper
succession and distribution assured
abundant crops. Good health has
blessed us. In sharp contrast to the
cataclysm of war that now devastates
all Europe, our people have been at
peace among themselves and with the
whole world. So we have ample cause
for gratitude and thanksgiving.
In grateful recognition Of these
blessings and in conformity with the
proclamation of the president of the
United States, I, Francis e. Meow
ern, governor of the state of Wiscon-
sin, do hereby designate and appoint
Thursday, the twenty-sixth day of No
vember, nineteen hundred and four
teen, as Thanksgiving day, and l ear
nestly recommend that the people
meet on that day in their accustomed
places of worship and there offer
thanks, with prayer and praise, to God
who has so abundantly prospered us
and so lovingly cared for US through
out the year.
But while we as people have been
so greatly favored, heartrending ap-
peals for help come to us across the
Atlantic. They tell of rich fields and
populous cities laid waste by waste,
of the ruin of millions of happy homes
and the restitution of numberless wild
ows and orphans. Here, therefore, is
a rare opportunity to make the beau
tiful Thanksgiving season memorable
this year for works of sympathy, ben
evidence and practical charity.
Out of our abundance liberal contri-
buttons should at once be made to re
lieve the distress Of the unfortunate
and the helpless in the war-ridden
countries of the old world.

TRENTON. Aug. 1.-THE United

ing bulletin on the crop conditions,
with reference to the weather for the
past week:
THE temperatures over the most
northern sections of the State were
slightly lower than Is usual for the
week, but to the southwark the heat
was normal or slightly above. but
without any severely hot days. Ex-
cept along the middle and northern
portions of the coast, where there was
ample rain. hardly enough moisture
fell to insure further the steady gain
which nearly all lines of vegetation
have made. The weather has been
satisfactory for digging potatoes, and
the yield Is altogether favorable. Re-
ports of the progress of the corn crop
continue more than ordinarily good.
Peaches, apples. pears, tomatoes and
melons give every indication of good
results, and large quantities and fine
qualities are being marketed. Gram
berries are reported as being as fine
as could be wished
