PARACHUTF., Col., Sept. 13.-Further
particlulars have been received regard
ing the slaughter of sheep on the Mesa
near here by the cattlemen. There were
about twenty-five cattlemen, all wearing
masks. They drove 2,'200 belonging to
C. B. Brown into a corral and killed
them with guns, knives and clubs. J.
F. Miller's band, numbering about 2,000,
were driven over the cliff and all killed.
J. 1). Hurlburt,e sheep were not molest.

these would have been served likewise
but for lack of time. When the sheep
men returned not a cattleman was in
sight. A sheep herder was shot but will
recover.
So,11e Details.
l)Dcn.'q., Col., Sept. 13.-The report
killing of 5,000 sheep at Rock Cliffs is
verified today, both as to number and
detail. It is estimated that :3I men
would be required to do the bloody work
in the short time required. The sheep
men have armed in a body and gone to
the scene of the slaughter. The object
of the expedition is reported here to be
the capture of certain range riders who
have been employed on adjacent terri
tory, whom they suspect of having been
implicated in the destruction of the
sheep. They are reported to have de
clared their intention to either hacg
these suspectsor compel them to divulge
the names of their accomplices.

objection he read part of it to be put in
evidence. When he had finished, Mr.
Erwin, for the defense, demanded that

evidence. Mr. Walker then read por
tions of the A. R. U.'s constitution.
Erwin insisted that it go in and it was
admitted. Walker then read a portion

Promotion of a Black Flag Chief
Who Haa Shown Colsider
able Talent.
SHA.OHAI, Sept. 14.-It reports from
Cores can be believed there seems to be
no doubt that the Japanese forces oper
ating against the Chinese will likely be
hemmed in. Dispatches from Fusan
bring additional confirmation of the
reports that the whole of southern Cores
has risen against the Japanese. It also
seems conllfirmed that the Japanese force
of 2,000 who attempted to march from
Fusan to Seoul met with disaster serious
enough to compel them to return to the
former place with 1,200 of their number
missing. A force of 2,000 fresh troops I
has arrived at Fusan to protect the Jap- I
anese settlement against an anticipated I
attack by armed Tonghaks gathering in
the neighborhood. General Lin Yang
Fu, a prominent Black Flag chief of An- I
val had received orderr from the throne I
to depart as soon as possible for For
mosa, where he is to act as assistant im
perial highway commissioner. General
Lin Yang Fu at the end of August at
tempted to transport 500 soldiers from
Swatow to Formosa, but hearing a rumor
that theJapanese squadron was cruising
in the vicinity of Formosa the captain
of the Chinese transport would not put
to sea in spite of the entreaties and
threats of the llUack iFlag general. Noth
ing daunted Lin Yaug F.' succeeded in
smuggling the men to an island in small
parties. The transport steamer was aft
erward overhauled by three Japanese
cruisers, who sent armed men to board
her. The Japanese officers examined
the ship's pfapers and searched the
steamer, evidently having received in
formation that Gen. Lin Yang l"u was
likely to be on board.
A disastrous tire occurred at Cung
King on the evening of Aug. 25. The
conllagration, It is said, lasted all night.
Before midnight the whole southeastern
portion of the city was in fames. About
thirty persons are known to have per
ished. It is probable the actual loes is
greater. It is roughly estimated that
the lose by fire will amount to fully 15,
000,00 taels. About 2,000 buildings
were destroyed. No foreign houses were
burned.
MONTANA CONTEMPT CAS.fS.
Opinion or Judge Knowles a* to Whet
Constitutes Contempt.
BUTTE, Sept. 14.- In the United States
district court Judge Knowles heard ar
guments in the demurrer to the new in
formations filed by the United States
against the strikers. Judge Knowles
overruled the demurrer on general
grounds because, as he said, the allega
tions that the defendants held the prop
erty of the railroad at Lima for two or d
three weeks and that there were some
threats and intimidations were suficient
The judge, however, said it was not con
tempt to call a man a "scab," for, as far
as the court and the public were con
cerned there was nothing to such a
term, though it might be offensive to a
member of organized labor. The court
also said it was not contempt in his c
opinion for a man by peaceful methods
to induce another to quit work, though I
150 years ago, under the common
law, it was a misdemeanor for one serv
ant to induce another to stop work.
That law, however, is obsolete. Judge
Knowles went so far as to say that the
action of Downey, chairman of the Lima I
strike committee, In telegraphing to
Conductor Chubbnc and Engineer Kil
lain at Silver Bow, that the people con
demned them for taking out a train, and
advising them to quit work, was not an
act of contempt. There was a charge,
however, that defendant Barton had
mounted an engine at Lima and threat
r ened the engineer to such a degree that
he left the engine in fear of his personal
safety, and the train was therefore de
layed from 10 to 12 hours. That act, it
proven, would constitute an act of con
tempt. The only other allegation that
would constitute contempt, it proven,
is the one to the effect that by conspir
acy the property of the railroads, in the
hands of the receivers, had been held
and interfered with.

STILL QUEEN OF THE OCEAN
The Steamship Lucania Breaks the
Record on lier Voyage Just
Ended.
Her Time Shows the Longest Runs
for an Hour and for a Day
1ver Made.
LoNloN, Sept. 14.-The Lucania
reached Queenstown at 3:47 this morn
ing making the passage from New York
in five days 8 hours and 38 minutes.
The Lucania's days' runs were: 447. 512,
494, 500 and 337 making a total of 2,880
knots. The significant feature of the
trip is the fact that the Lucania's
record for both eastward and westward
voyages are indentically the same,
namely five days, eight hours and thirty
eight minutes; but on the present east
ward trip she covered twenty-three miles
more than on her record breaking trip
last month. The Lucania by her pres
ent performance firmly establishes her
position as "Queen of the Hes," having
crossed the ocean in both directions in
less time than any other steamer. She
holds the highest average of hourly
speed on record 31.89 knots made last
June and her 500 knots covered in one
day is still the record for the longest
days run.
THE BELT MINIE.
Work Progressing and Additional Men
Being Employed.
Superintendent P. J. Shields of the
Castner Coal and Coke company has re
ceived instructions from the manage
ment to put a full force of men to work
getting out coal and ship the same to the
Anaconda Smelting company Arrange
ments have been made with the Great
Northern company for all the care re
quired. Lack of cars has proved a
serious drawback to this company in the
past and prevented them shipping all
the coal they could get out. The mines
are now in shape to take out and ship
about 800 tons a day, and this will be
doubled within 30 days.
A force of 25 men have been put to
work in No. 4 ditching and pumping the
water which had accumulated during the
shut down, and as soon as it is all drain
ed out a full force of men will be put to
I work getting out coal.
At No.1 mine there will be many im
provements. Additional pumps will be
ut in and the main entry double
tracked. This will permit a continuous
line of loaded car passing along on one
t trnack and the same of mptis on the
other. The working fore will be in
oreased as fast as possible. At the
time of the shut-down the oomplny was
5 shipping 800 ton of coal every day, and
they expect to mine double that amount
before the let of October. There are now
150 men at work in No. 1 mine, taking
out about 27 car loads of coal a day.
This will be inoreased to 40 car loads be
it fore next Monday.
Permission has been given the Great
Northern Railway Company to put a
wire in the comnpany' store until the
