OLE HANSON oUTWiTTED
 SEATTLE STRIKE LEADERS

How former Mayor Ole Hanson dur; ing the attempt at BoIsheyisn in Seattle outwitted the strike leaders by locking them in his office in the City Hall while he distributed his fa- nous proclamation ordering the men back to work within twenty -four hours is a new story now being told for the first time in connection with the trouble in the northwest city.
 MT. Hanson now is making a na- tienal fight against the Reds. and in favor of 100 per cent, unafraid Americanism. He will be welcomed to Norwich on Dec. r and will speak under the auspices of the chamber of commerce. os
 Mayor Hansons ruse by which he placed the directing heads of the so- called general strike under lock and key gave him time and opportunity to convince the editor of The Star. the only daily newspaper being published at the time. that he should print and distribute the Hanson proclamation under police protection. MT. Hanson,s statement to the people of Seattle in which he declared the seat of city government was still at the City Hall, not at the Labor Temple; that the people would be furnished with the utGSSSllleS U1 llIts dAu tnHC Il the Strikers were not back at their posts the following morning, federal troops would be put in their places, hit the mark because the men who might have suppressed 1t by force, were held prisoner in the mayor of fee. <
 The labor leaders remained there from Il a. m. until after D. m. Feb. 8. 1918. When they were released the Hanson proclamation in The Star which policemen gave away by the thousands on the streets, had had fs desired effect. The ultimatum unified public sentiment and the fate of the outbreak was settled then and there The following day hundreds of men began drifting back to work and "A hours later the, same leaders whom ! the mayor had duped voted with the others to call off the strike"
 The locked-in leaders included l James A. Duncan, secretary of the Seattle Central Labor Council. a pro- nounced radical; Eulet M Wells and
 Sam Sedler, who had been convicted | in the federal court of seditious con I spiracy, and who were out on bai ] pending an appeal. J. A. Stevenson
 business agent of the street car meE,s
 union, and A. E. Miller. preminent
 leader in both the sfipyard and gen. eral strikes.

 He was found badly injured and un- conscious, lying alongside the rail- road tracks and he died without re. gaining consciousness and before his identity had been established.
 The man had both ankles crushed, left: wrist fraetureds ai1d suffered a severe brain lesion which was the cause of his death. Nothing was type picture of two young boys. An examination of his sscfotllir E, revealed a .tailor's mark bearing the name E. Blum.
 When train No. f00 arrived in Bos- ton Sunday an overcoat and a trav- cling bag were found unclaimed in one of the coaches. A person who was sitting near the. coat and bag in the coach took them to the station mas ter and reported that man who owned them had been acting strange ly and that a short distance outside of New London he disappeared an6 was not seen again.
 The Boston authorities opened tn, travelling bag and found that it be- | longed to Louis Blum. This led ths authorities to believe that the mar found at Sound View and the one wht l left the articles in the Boston trair are the same.

A bull that went on a rampage on the Occum road carly Monday morn ing caused no little excitement in that vicinity when the animal became en- ragged at Ford automobile that was passing him and butted it into the gutter. The bull was being led to slaughter and apparently sensing that his end was near he rebelled against his driver and tore the ring from his nose and started to make himself scarce. He was captured after a lit tie difficulty and was then tied to a small tree by the roadside. Not liking to be detained in this manner he straightway pulled up the tree by the roots and with this tree dangling from his neck he started off down the road A Ford automobile came along about this time and the animal, talk ing a sudden dislike to the machine lowered his head and started to give battle. He hit the machine broadside and sent it into the gutter. He then galloped calmly off into the woods by the road. The animal must have weighed about 1900 to 1900 pounds.
