NARROW ESCAPE
FROM LIGHTNING

The inmates of the George Lums-
den home at Kendall had narrow
escape from death by lightning in the
fierce electrical storm early Sunday
morning. The electric fluid apparent
ly struck a chimney and then entered
the house, afterward scattering and
going in and out in all directions.
Plaster was torn from all the rooms
up stairs and from the Mushroom on
the lower floor. Two wooden beds
were town to pieces.
The inmates had risen because of
the intensity of the storm, and were
not injured. 1t was the severest cleo

THURSDAY, JULY 5, 1917
THE FOURTH THIS YEAR

The struggle for liberty is as old
as the race, and in America the spirit
of Freedom is just little different
from that found in the remainder of
the world. Here it means to aid and
help those who are burdened with
autocracy. Liberty may be found in
many forms and the liberty created in
this nation seeks to elevate other
peoples without annexing their terri
tory. This is now conceived to be
the best there is in government. To
free ourselves was the motive in
1875, to liberate the slave was the
dominant idea in 1861, and to cast
aside monarchial yoke was the pur-
pose in the Spanish-American war.
In the great struggle now before the
American people, to free the world
from the oppression of kaiser is the
motive. This is considered an exalt-
ed opportunity, precious mission,
and since this country is entering in
to the great war, the Fourth of July
this year means more than in other
years. The spirit of '76, which has
come down to us, breathes with it the
larger liberties which Belgium, France
and other countries hope to enjoy.
For half a century they have lived in
the awe of a mighty power which
seeks to dominate the world. For
America to battle for the right adds
mighty to the Day We Celebrate.

RJrTTE,. Mont, June 19.-Mining companies in the Butte district an noIluced tonight that the mines VIII work only the day shift beginning to- morrow The men who reported Tor the night shift were told to return to their homes and report for work Ill the morning. John Dillis, general man ager of the Anaconda Copper Mining company, said the plan of working the day shift only was for the safety or the men who desired to work but who were intimidated by the Metal Mine Workers Union, which has called strike on the mines, so that they were afraid to report for work on the night shift. The mines, it was said, could use on the day shift all of the men who reported for work.
 It was indicated that no strike breakers would be used. Strikes called by miners and by electricians In the mines of the Butte district spread to- day when the members of the Butte Electrical Union No. 65, who were em- ployed by the mining companies, were called out This followed the refusal by the mining companies of demands made earlier in the day.
 The electricians in their demands declared that unless the mining com panies brought pressure to bear upon
 
 the Montana Power company to grant demands of the electricians and the mining companies also grant the de- mands recently made by the newly formed Metal Miners Union, the elec- tricians employed by the mining con- panies will be taken from the mines. Soon after the electricians were called out of the mines, members of the Montana National Guard were called to their quarters. There are three companies of guardsmen in Butte.
 The Metal Mine Workers Union held it's regular meeting today and an nouneed that it had increased it's mem bership, but the total number of members was not stated More men joined the ranks of the miners who are keeping away from the mines.

 NEW YORK. June 19.-Three irn- portant developments in the investiga tion into the mkrder of 1S-year-oI Ruth Cruger, a Wadleigh high school graduate, divided the attention of city officials today.
 A woman calling herself "Consuelo La Rue" who fell or jumped from a window of her apartment and who said she gave the tip" that led to discovery of the body. declared she had been threatened with death for her con. nection with the case.
 Investigation of the police depart ment by the board of aldermen for failure of the detective bureau to find the girls body that had been buried for four months in the cellar of the bicycle shop was demanded by the ln- stitute for Public Service
 Search was begun for accomplices in the crime after it was disclosed that the tool chest which hid the girls grave was too heavy for one man to move.
 Miss La Rue" is a prisoner in a hospital, charged with attempted sui eide. Assistant District Attorney Rorke visited Miss La Rue" in the hospital tonight. He said she still was unable to tell coherent story
 Failure of the police to find trap door that had been cut to lower the body into the cellar of Cocchis shop strengthened the belief that an official investigation of the detective bureaus methods will be ordered
 Several policemen who are said to have been acquainted with Cocchi ana 10 have been seen in his shop were questioned in the district attorneys office today. Among others interro- gated were two girls who had been out driving with Cocchi. One of them aged II, said Mrs. Cocchi had upbraid~ ed her for so doing
 Three chauffeurs whose names were furnished by a man under arrest in connection with the crime were being sought by the police. In the tunnel with Ruth Cruger's body the police found three chauffeuIs uniforms Of khaki and two other suits of clothes. ;,

 The calling out of the electricians in the mines will not affect the opera tions of the mines unless the equip ments fail, it is declared. The elec- tricians who were called out are the men who look after the repairs.
 Mayor W. H. Maloney today refused to permit the recently organized Metal Mine Workers Union use of the City auditorium. The mayor said the audi so long as it's leaders show Industrial Workers of the World tendencies. Leaders of the new union have de- nied that they are members of the In dustrial Workers of the World. The electricians called today on the min ing companies to grant the demands recently made by the Metal Workers union. The electricians are members of Butte Electricians Union No. 65, and their demands as presented to the mining companies follow
 Unless the mining companies bring pressure to bear to have the Mon tana Power company grant their de- mands and also grant the demands re- gently made by the miners, the men of No. 65 employed by the mining companies will be pulled off" The mining companies advised the electricians committee that the de- mands would not be granted,

MESSENGERS SAY
 BOUND AND ROBBED
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel


 CHICAGO, June 19.-Two armed men. their faces hidden by handker- chiefs. entered the Adams express car of Chicago Burlington and Quincy pas senger train No 3. as it stood in the railroad yards tonight, bound Ward R. smiley, the messenger, and A. R. An dreWs. his assistant, and escaped with between S25 900 and S30,000, according to the story told by Smiley tonight.
 Smiley and Andrews are being ques- toned b. the police. They said they had been bound by men who held re volvers at their heads, but had escaped by grawing each others bonds.
 The robbery occurred while the train was being made up. The money, one sack of gold and two of silver had been checked in at the Adams express office in the yards by the agent. the safe had been locked and the dial re- moved, a customary precaution against robbery.
 Andrews and Smiley reported that while the express car was being at tached to the train the robbers jumped from behind trunk and took them by surprise. When the messengers had been overpoWered, they reported, the robbers fitted a duplicate dial to the safe and proceeded quickly to open it. IiaVihS optdlneu tHe Sold, they jumped from the train and escaped. Policemen said they were endeavor- ing to find out why there was delay in reporting the robbery. They declared the ropes with which the men said they had been bound bore no evidence of having been gnawed.
 Late tonight 1t was announced that ! a package of diamonds also was miss ing from the safe but no estimates of the value of the stones was given.

 The Woman's revelations brought the arrest of nine persons who were held in S2500 bail each, and warrants were issued for five others.
 Mrs. Lyman appeared before the commissioner in bankruptcy proceed ings. After five days in the Tombs prison, she decided to involve all who participated in her "get-rich- quick" scheme. she declared She told of those who worked with her to fleece the public; now they ad- vanced her money to further the scheme, and how hundreds of persons had been brought to her with their savings through tales of high interest spread by those cooperating with her.
 Mrs. Hyman charged that certain persons who had obtained large sums of money. from her and were expect ing an exposure of swindle, tried to drown her in Oyster Bay by over turning their boat. After she had been rescued by life savers and had recovered, she alleged, sS000 had been taken from her pocketbook by her companions.
 Mrs. Hyman said that investments totalling approximately S500,000 were to have been wiped out by going into bankruptcy. She admitted that not a dollar of the money she received from her clients" had been invested, the scheme simply being to pay oc- casional dividends, from what came in as investments, and to keep clients coming so fast that the income would exceed payments.
