Dittengen, Canton Of Bern, Switzer-
land, July 27.-The cement factory

town because it represented the prin-

to pieces by its owners June 27, un-
der the supervision of the local police.
The great mill has been bought by a
syndicate and closed down as unuec
essary to the system. The syndicate
had to continue to pay taxes as heavy
as though the works were in opera
ton, and it was decided, therefore, to
destroy them. Charges of dynamite
were placed under the tall chimneys
and at various places in the walls,
throughout the mandatory. The cart
ridges exploded simultaneously by

CHRISTIAN CHURCHES
ADD 143 POINTS TO LEAD

The local Christian churches, the
Fifteenth Avenue, Second and Mem
orial again outdistanced the Davenport
church in the Sunday school contest
being waged. Points for attendance
and promptness at the Sunday school
services totaled 1145 for the local
churches divided into $50 for Memo
rial church, All for the Fifteenth Ave
nue., and I74 for the Second church,
against the LOOP points credited to
the Davenport church. This gives a
lead of 143 points added yesterday and
a total of AGO for the three Sundays
since the contest was inaugurated.
With the lead already acquired the To-
cal churches are very hopeful of win
ming the contest, but are not in any
way ceasing their efforts to add safe
margin.

ONE INJURED IN
HOTEL QUARREL
Tony Anduluku Taken to Hospi
tai and Gordon Eubanks Is
Arrested for Assault.

Alleged facts regarding the assault
of Tony Anduluku, a Greek employed
at the New Harper. were told this
morning by Gordon Eubanks, the as
sailant who is also employed at the
same place. The trouble occurred in
the boiler room of the hotel Saturday
morning. Abduluku was taken to ST.
Anthony's hospital. He complained
of injuries on the right side of his
body.
Eubanks, who lays claim to having
at one time been a professional pugil-
list, stated that his antagonist refused
to get out of his way in a doorway of
the boiler room, and that as he antici-
pated trouble he took the first punch.
Eubanks claims that the Greek is an
exceptionally powerful man, having
only recently lifted $50 pounds above
his head to show his strength. He
stated that he did not care to take any
chances with the foreigner. Eubanks
was arrested on a charge of assault
and battery preferred by Anduluku.
The case was continued from this
until Saturday. Anduluku
left the hospital today. He is not seri-
ously hurt.
