Preceding races and field sports there was a mammoth midday barbecue at| Oakley racetrack, where over 20,000 pounds of beef was served and burgoo was made in several kettles holding 800 gallons each, while other refreshments were without limit. The awarding committee, being un- able to decide the Manila and Los Angeles for the lodge having the greatest aggregate mileage, has referred the matter to the commit- | tee on arrangements. The Californians claim that they expended$12.000 in char- tering a special train to bring a large attendance here for the prize, while the sixteen men of the Manila lodge are Government employes in the Philip- pines and have been traveling in the | United States for months.

Excitement Is Great, but Officers Declare They Are Determined to Keep Peace | | BONESTEEL, S. D., July 21—Ex- citement is running high in Bonesteel | night, brought about by the rescue! of an arrested gambléy, who was taken | from the hands of the police by a dozen | or fifteen of his friends and rushed! down the main street of the town and | secreted. The gambler was arrested and was being escorted to the station, | when suddenly, at the word of a leader, | a crowd of cappers and friends of the prisoner made a dash for the police-| man having him in charge. Seizing the prisoner, they tore him from the grasp of the officer, who drew his revolver | and struck one of the attacking party | a blow in the face. The attacking par- | ty surrounded the prisoner and suc-| ceeded in getting him away. The city authorities immediately be- gan swearing in extra police and have expressed the determination to enforce the law at any cost. | The approaching close to the regis- | tration period is being illustrated in| the increasing numbers of those who wish to add their names to the already long lists. Later in the evening a gambler was arrested and safely lodged in jail. It is believed that an organized body will attempt to release him before morning. At § o'clock a crowd attacked an of- ficer, took his night stick from him and beat him severely about the head. He was taken in a bleeding condition to a nearby drug store, where his wounds were dressed. A few moments later an | officer made an arrest in a saloon and | got his prisoner to the station, when a crowd made a rush for him. Cries of “Take away his star,” “Beat him up,” etc.,, rent the air as the mob pushed forward intent upon a rescue. Reaching the middle of the street the officer turned, squared off and pointed his| gun at the crowd and slowly dispersed | it, and the officer landed his prisoner at the station. About 10 o’clock a man under the in- fluence of liquor fired a revolver into | | the air in front of a saloon, then | stepped inside. Immediately a great | crowd collected in front of the saloon. | Two policemen forced their way into | | the saloon and arrested the man who | fired the shot. When they Yeached the | street the crowd again attempted a | | rescue, but the police succeeded in jailing their man. Shots were fired in different parts of the town, creating | intense excitement. Twelve extra policemen were sworn | in about 6 o'clock, and these, with the regular uniformed men, are patrolling | the streets to-night with drawn revol- | vers, Kkeeping the crowds moving and | preventing congregation at*any point. e e STRIKERS TO BE TAKEN BACK. Men Will Be Re-employed as Fast as | Business Warrants. CHICAGO, July 21.—All the big meat packing establishments of this country, | Where nearly 50,000 workmen went out | on strike ten days ago to enforce cer- | tain demands of the union, will be | thrown open to the strikers at 7 o’clock to-morrow morning and as many of the former employes as can be taken care of will return to work. A majority of the butchers will be reinstated to-mor- | row morning, but it will be several days before all the strikers will be! given employment, as there is not| enough live stock at some of the yards | to require a full force. As soon as the | shipments begin to arrive in the usual | quantity, however, the idle men will be | put to work and it is believed that by | Saturday night nearly all of the strik- | ers will have been taken care of. When the news reached the non- union men to-day that the old men were to return to work to-morrow | | more than 500 of them quit work. It is not known how many more of the non- union men are still at work. BN R i TWO MEN ARE SHOT. Mob Attacks Non-Union Men and ‘Wounds Them Seriously. CHICAGO, July 2L—The day was marked by a disturbance in the pack- ing-house district, two men narrowly | escaping death as a result of a riot. Robert Keating, an ice dealer, accom- panied by two employes, Clarence Hall and John White, were passing in an ice wagon when some men began shooting. Keating and Hall were wounded, the former receiving a bullet in the leg which severed an artery. Hall was shot in the foot. The mob dispersed. There were numerous encounters among bands of strike sympathizers and non- union men, who, in fright, had desert- ed the yards, but no one was severely injured. RISHES L B SHIELDS IS RELEASED.

Murphy, Crack Jumper, Deserts His Companions in England, Creating Sensation. LONDON, July 21.—F. M. Murphy, Harvard's crack high jumper, who was to have competed against the ath- letes of Oxford and Cambridge in the international meet Saturday, threw the American collegiate camp into consternation yesterday by shaking the dust of Brighton from his feet, go- ing to Liverpool and arriving just in time to catch the White Star liner Teutonic, sailing for New York. Since his arrival in England ten days ago Murphy has suffered from homesickness and has been greatly depressed. A day or two ago, how- ever, he seemed to recover his nor- mal condition and was showing his| best form.

HOWELL'S NERVE |FIREMEN WOULD IS ALCOHOLIC Man Who Impersonated an Internal Revenue Agent Makes Insanity Defense HIS MEMORY FAILS HIM Tries to Extort a Hundred | Dollars From Miss Rose McArdle for a License C. J. Howell, a picturesque fraud, formerly earning an honest living as switchman for the Southern Pacific Company, was held for trial yesterday by United States Commissioner Hea- cock on a charge of having unlawfully impersonated an internal ;revenue offi- cer. His bonds were fixed at $500. The evidence was that on June 18 Howell entered a saloon on Mission street, kept by a buxom lassie named Rose McArdle, and demanded $100 as internal revenue license, representing himself as a Federal revenue agent. Miss McArdle demurred and sald that she had already paid her license for the current term. Howell thereupon de- manded that she pay him $10, and, this being refused, made her an insulting proposal. Upon her expressing indig- nation, he placed her under arrest and took her to the police station in the Hall of Justice, where he requested Officer Ward to place a charge against the woman of selling liguor without having paid the special revenue tax. He represented to the police that he was a revenue officer, and when asked to show his badge of authority replied that he had forgotten it, but would go and get it. He then started on a run out of the door and was pursued by two policemen, who caught him at the intersection of Montgomery and Mer- chant streets. In his defense yesterday he swore that he had recefved an accident to his head several years ago, and that a sil- ver plate had been inserted in the skull. The effect of the injury, he said, was to make him oblivious to all that happened ‘when he was drinking; that he was drunk when he placed the blushing Rose under arrest, and that he could not recall a thing that had oc- curred. Judge Heacock refused to be con- vinced of Howell's innocence and held him for trial. ————— AMERICANS ARE SLAIN IN A MEXICAN TOWN State Department Wires Consul at Mazatlan to Supply Names and Details.
