MINNEAPOLIS, June 20.—Professor F. A. Schmidt to-day tossed a bomb into the meeting of the Norwegian Lutheran Con- ference. of the doctrinal questions could be har- monized a union might be easily effected between the present united church and the old and powerful Norwegian Synod. Profess ohnso: however, reported without comment that the joint commis- sion had sat for three days and been un- able to come to any agreement. Professor Schmidt then arose and as a Jone minority in the commission an- nounced that he recognized no authority which could muzzle him. the reports of tne united church held fast to the principle that there was no abso- lute certainty of salvation which was con- ditional on the faith and conduct of the individual. Luther College theologians would not budge from their position of election and predestination and neither side would yield an inch. He asked to be excused from the commission, but there was not even a motion that his request should be granted. The lay delegates wil ;;;c\:»r consent to his withdrawal from that ody.

Lieutenant Colonel Dwyer, -division judge advocate, { was assigned the task of investigating | the riot of last night, and he spent most of to-day at the investigation. When the troopers arrived in camp from town last evening they brought more than forty prisoners, and all these were put in the guard temts to await the inquiry which Generl Dickinson at once detailed Colonel Dwyer to make. In pur- suance ‘of that order Sheriff Besse and Chief of Police Rawles were asked to come to camp and be present during the inquiry and to assist in identifying the men. They arrived in.camp about 10 o'clock and at once the prisoners were + l} 219 Frrys; * Y oqily /7 oY) 74 FLEr el ‘:Jb et | sent for and a court was established in | the division commissary’s tent. | The purpose is to examine every one of | the men and find if possible the ringlead- ers of the crowd that made the trouble. | The investigation is still in progress, and | in the meantime the two men over whom he row was started are held to await judgment, both civil and military. Noth- | Ing definite has come from the investiga- tion so far, for no one in particular was leading the mob, and the gathering of | evidence of value is no easy matter. General Warfleld’s brigade marched i | back to camp this afternoon, tired and : | dirty, but proud of the fact that three | copanies slipped past the guard and | came in the back way. or up the ridge | through the timber skirting the camp | from the northwest. There was no effort | made to keep off the brigade on its re- turn, as was done in the case of the First | Brigade on its return, and to this is prob- | ably due the fact that the three compa- | nies slipped by the inner guards. The brigade had not reached Santa Cruz when the signal corps announced its approach. General Dickinson was away with his staff, and his aid. Major Hewes, after consulting with Colonel Berry of the Sev- enth Infantry, who happened to be at di- vision headquarters when the news came, | decided to treat the brigade as a friendly | command. No call to arms was sounded and no cossack posts were sent out to re- connoiter. The approaching brigade had therefore to deal only with the regular guard of the camp. | Attack Made on the Camp. Before the faithest outpost was reached Major Filmer, First Infantry, in com- | mand of a battalion formed of Companies | L and M of the First and A of the Fifth {left the main body and approached the | camp from a gifferent direction and some | aistance ahead of the main column. They came up the ravine in single file, and as General Warfield was being received at | the guard tent with all the honors due a | friendly command the attacking compa- | nies sprang out of the brush and made a rush for the color line at division head- | quarters. Then commenced the firing of rifles and revolvers and a great shouting by the in- SEVERE ELECTRIC STORM PASSES OVER INDIANA Persons Killed and Several Others Badly Injured by Lightning.

The three companies claim they cap- tured the camp. The home command say if -the call to arms had been sounded, as it could have been, when the brigade was first known to be advancing, no battalion could have left the main column unob- served, and so_every one is haPpy. The Second, Brigade camped last night at Chpitola, and on the way there it had an adventure. Some time after the brig- ade had left camp Lieutenant Colonel Hosmer, division inspector; Major Hewes, aid to General Dickinson, and Lieutenant Harlock of the Naval Militia, the three who entered the camp of the Third Brig- ade Monday night, accompanied by Troop B of Sacramento, under Captain Kay, started after it to intercept it on the road. They followed along until near Capltola. Cutling across country whenever possible and finally choosing a suitable place to attack the advance guard, they waited for the brigade. It was in a narrow canyon, as good a place as a small party could have chosen, and when the advance guard of Warfield's column appeared the cavalry attacked with revolvers. There was some lively firing and the advance guard fell back upon the main body, which formed at once for an attack, but Colonel Hos- mer’s expedition was not intended for more than a cavalry raid to harass the enemy, so having drawn in the advance guard and halted the column he drew off. Captain Kay and his troobers rode back to camp, having the brigade wondering what had hzppened and scouting for an _enemy.

Race in British Columbia. The Animal Runs Away and Crushes Rider Against X a Tree. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. VANCOUVER, B. C., June 20.—With his skull crushed in, his neck broken and both his left arm and leg badly fractured, Robert Bruce McSwane, a lad of 15 years, was yesterday afternoon carried for a quarter of a mile on the back of a run- away horse. The accident occurred at Chilliwack, where the residents of the farming sec- tion for a dozen miles around had gath- ered to witness a number of amateur ~horse races. Young Me- Swane, who was the son of a Justice of the Peace at Chilliwack, was mounted on a large horse. There was a false start in the race, but his horse bolt- ed and the runaway animal dashed down in front of the crowd at full speed. The boy was powerless to hold the horse up. Soon the anlg\al jumped a fence and started across a fleld. The lad still hung on. The horse ran straight into a tree and crushed the, lad against it. Half a @ozen other horses were by this time in pursuit. The runaway animal was so much hurt in the collision that it was an easy matter to catch him. The boy was d?arl and mangled almost beyond recog- nition. PROTECTORS OF GAME HAVE THEIR OUTING Prominent People of San Rafael Gather for Enjoyment on Shores of Lagunitas. SAN RAFAEL, June 20.—The Marin County Game Protective Assoclation gave an outing to its members and friends at Lake Lagunitas to-day. The only unpleas- ant feature of the day, and it will furnish merriment for months to come, developed after Assessor Parks and Frank Murray returned to shore with about two dozen large trout, the reward of several hours’ laborious fishing and rowing. After ex- hibiting their catch and hanging it on a tree they went to lunch. They spent the rest of the day wondering why and how their trout disappeared. County Clerk Graham, Treasurer Fallon and Recorder Connell played an exciting game of golf on the adjacent links. Gra- ham won by 4 up, Connell took his de- feat much to heart, as he has long been looked upon as the champion golfer of the | Courthouse. After catching fish and the games. the party repaired to the clubhouse, where chicken and other things good to eat and drink loaded the tables.

SAN BERNARDINO, June 20.—Yester- day morning Henry Paine, a prominent and wealthy rancher residing near Red- lands, disappeared and his prolonged and unaccountable absence has occasioned much anxiety. Tracks have heen found where he went to his barn. He evidently hitched his horse to his buggy and left in a southerly direction. In a wash four miles from his ranch more tracks were discovered where the horse and buggy had reversed half a dozen times within a space of forty feet. Paine is 6 years of age and a San Bernardino Coun- ty pioneer. Lontdo it Salesman Says He Is Bankrupt. 1L.OS ANGELES, June 20.—Rex Bord, a traveling salesman, filed a petition in bankruptcy to-day.
