SERIOUS RIOTS
IN BUTTE OVER
UNION TROUBLES
Dissenting Members Wreck
Headquarters and
Fiqht Police

BUTTE. Mont, June l4.-(Associat-
ed Press by Federal WirelessD-This
city is practically under martial law,
the result of a serious outbreak OF
rioting yesterday between members of
the Western Federation of Miners,
2O0O of whom bolted from the organ
ization. All the saloons in the city
are closed by order of the authorities
and a number of places of business
have been forced to shut their shops
and barricade their windows to save
their stocks from pillage.
The insurgents became aggressive
and stormed the union hall, smashing
the furniture and destroying some OF
the records before being driven out
by the police In a search for arms
the rioters then broke into a number
of hardware stores and took from
these all the arms and ammunition
they could find When this became
known the authorities seized all other
stores where guns and ammunition
were in stock and cleared out the
shelves.
The police attempted to hold the
union headquarters out were Ilnally
driven out by mob of 400 insurgents,
who drove off the police and seized
the safe. This they took from the
building and loaded on to dray, driv-
ing it under escort out of the city.
After reaching the outskirts the strfk-
ing unionists dynamited the safe and
seized the papers and records.
Demand Referendum.
Last night, after matters had quiet
ed down, the insurgents served notice
upon the union officials that they
would refuse to return to the union
unless a referendum be called for the
purpose of deciding whether or not
the system of ebliging every man to
present his union card at the mine
when appearing for work be abol-
ished.

HUERTA'S ENJOYS TRY TO
SAVE DICTAT0R'S PRIDE

NIAGARA FALLS, June l5.-Pend-
ing the arrival of representatives OF
the Constitutionalist forces in Mexico
who are expected here early this
week, It Is believed there will be a
temporary halt in reaching a definite
agreement on the proposed plans for
bringing peace to the southern repub-
lie.
The tentative plans for establishing
a provisional government in Mexico
has not yet been given out and prob
ably will not until after the Carranza
representatives are given chance to
take part in the mediation confer.
ences. So
Strong efforts are being made by
the Huerta forces to at least have
the Dictator given the formal privi-
lege of announcing the result of the
conference and of gracefully turning
over the government to those who
are delegated to act. II is believed,
however. that the American delegates
will strongly oppose every effort in
this direction. .-.

About o'clock Saturday morning
| Marshal Case noticed a bright fame
spring up in the grass and sage brush
close to the old barn in rear of the Ray
| born residence, and gave an alarm by
firing off his revolver several times.
a number of people responded, but

Gown and went out. 1t is not known
how the fire started

was a mistake. Mr.. Wickercham was
visiting with his mother at his old

that the grain yield in the Walla Walla

that farmers are getting good prices

a great hardship on candidates. They
have to rustic before the primary cleo

secures the nomination has to make
another campaign before the general

GETTING OUT OF REACH

Sugar has taken another upward
jump during the week. If this in
crease in price continues most of us
will have to form the habit of getting
along without sweetening in our tea,
coffee toddy, etc. 1t reminds us of
the days of the war when we were n
boy. Sugar then was out of reach Of
the average citizen, and people resort
ed to maple sugar and the settings
of the sorgum vat, coarse, black, re-
pulsive saccharine mess that contain
ed only a suspicion of sweetness to
make it palatable. But sorgum sugar
was not the only substitute then used
for table purposes. Parched barley,
cakes of corn meal mixed with sor-
gum molasses, roasted, took the place
OF coffee, and the family that was in
reach of sassafrass bushes that could
be used for tea was considered lucky.
The present generation can have no
i6ea what those who lived fifty years
ago were compelled to put up with in
the way of living. Things that are
now on the table of the poorest man
were considered luxuries. And yet,
aside from the constant anxiety over
the war, the people of that day were
just as happy as those living at the
present time.

RIVERSIDE RACES.

The race meet that is to take place
on Monday and Tuesday, September
! and s, at Riverside, will probably be
one of the most interesting turf events
that has ever taken place in the coun-
ty, and should draw a very large at
tendance. The size of the purses Of
fered for the various events are large
enough to be an incentive for horse
owners 10 travel long distance to
take part in the contests, and a large
and superior string of fast animals
Will be entered. Horse racing still
has a strong hold upon the public,
and this sport of kings will draw larg-
or crowds than any other class of
sports. This is especially true when
people are satisfied that the animals
entered have speed, and this will be
the case on this occasion. The only
Unfortunate feature of the meet is the
dates selected. Tuesday, September
s is the day of the primary election,
and voters will be inclined to remain
at home and exercise their franchise
And that is what they should do con-
sidering the importance of selecting
worthy candidates for county Offices
However, Monday is an open date that
everybody can take advantake of, and
on that day there should be a very
large crowd present, and among the
gathering generous sprinkling of
Oroville residents.
